    Пхах. Найс обиженные, учитывая что рашка действительно много близ подобного устраивала, по типу Солсбери и хим.оружия в Сирии. Оценили игру только по причине "Ой на рашку похожа, ой же нехорошо, нет обещанной серой морали". Игра хороша, сюжет интересный относительно многих других игр подобного жанра, но для меня мало уникальности в ней.
    Совет более холодно оценивать игру, а не пытаться

    I really enjoyed this game, and the way you portrayed russia and their war crimes are right on. After serving in the military and experiencing it first hand i am glad that people are experience it in a safer manor.

    The game is worthy alone from the best CoD campaign in over a decade. Albeit on the short side, the fun was there in spades.

    Im not going to comment on the multi, it’s Call of Duty so you know what you're getting there.

    Dont let the negative reviews sway you from playing a great game.

    This games multiplayer is pretty good. The gun play was improved from BO4 and time to kill is a win or a loose. The maps are ok but the new map that released is better and there are no loot boxes. The campaign is kind of historically incorrect and makes the Russian Army seem like Nazis. Also, I'm an American.

    It is a throwback to older Call of Duty where its not so up-paced and cracked out. Feels more like Modern Warfare 3 than the previous entries. The Campaign is fine its just a story. If you feel offended by a video game showing a country in a certain way that is odd... I've read books and seen shows that show America as trash.

    So! If you get your feelings hurt over a country being called bad in a fake story don't play the single player. Multiplayer is a lot of fun. I couldn't do the previous CODs because it was to twitchy for me and this pulls it back enough.

    Ya que me parecía algo ya hasta insultante Pero llegan con este rebut ( precuela) de MW que para mí y muchos es considerado de la mejor saga de COD, así que decidí comprarlo y vaya que me lleve una grata sorpresa, ya que la campaña es buena, obvio no como sus anteriores MW pero está a la altura no me lo había pasada así de bien con un COD sobre todo su campaña El apartado gráfico es novedoso, pueda que no de lo mejor pero ya se nota el cambio y eso también es bueno El sonido es espectacular cada arma cada disparó , estallido , helicópteros total todo el ambiente suena increíble mucho más con unos audífonos

    Una vez acabado la campaña que a lo mucho te puede tardar unas 7 u 8 horas depende de cada uno sigue el multijugador y aquí es donde pondré lo primero que está mal en este juego, no digo que sea malo al contrario el multijugador es divertido y eso es lo que busca, pero los mapas los benditos mapas son el gran problema no están ni quiera bien diseñados o distribuidos hay veces en los que tardas en encontrar a otros jugadores los respawns luego salen dónde está el enemigo y dónde falla más y más es en dominación tan mal están los mapas que los puntos de bandera están mal distribuidos El campeón es mucho más exagerado y sinceramente es lo que mata el multijugador Pero dejando eso Lo que es 2vs2 y guerra terrestre son de lo mejorcito y con lo que me quedaría ya que los mapas más decentes están ahí y es donde funcionan En conclusión Call Of Duty Modern Warfare es muy buen rebut /precuela que sigue entregando la misma fórmula pero dándole un toque algo distinto tanto a su campaña como a su desastroso pero divertido multijugador

    Que si lo recomiendo vaya que si es uno de los mejores Call of duty que han salido en los últimos años

Please don't believe all these salty, hateful, anti-American russian nationalists review bombing this beautiful masterpiece of a game. I'll go ahead and clear up the lies they're spreading here. For starters, the violence shown being committed by the enemy faction in the game is supposed to show how brutal they are and are meant to show you how much of a threat they are. Now every bad review here is saying that, since they just so happen to be Russian, then this game is really trying to tell you that all Russians are evil and you should fear and hate them, but this simply isn't true. Anyone that's actually PLAYED the game would know that, in the game's fictional universe, there is a civil war going on within Russia between the Russian government and all loyal to it and the "Ultranationalist Rebels" as the original Modern Warfare from 2007 put it (Nobody had a problem with the whole war crimes thing back then btw). While the rebels are the faction that are shown committing war crimes such as killing civillians, the government and it's loyalists are fair, honorable, and are apalled by the actions of the rebels and make it a point to disown them and point out that they do not represent Russia or it's people...VERY crucial details many of these "reviewers" and the media seem to forget, don't you think? With all that being said, as for the game itself, all I really have to say is that it's a wonderful return to the glory days of this franchise. Days when it wasn't afraid to be controversial. It's especially important that it's controversial now in today's industry. In today's era of censorship and constantly being offended by anything and everything under the sun, games like this that take risks are a dying breed. On the more technical side, maps with actual freedom of movement are back! Levels in the campaign and multiplayer are no longer small or linear and don't force you down one single path. The biggest example of this in the campaign is the mission "Going Dark". Where you have to search 3 buildings and find information. In any other recent CoD game, you would ride in with a full squad and kick the door open guns blazing and little difficutly, but here, you have only yourself, the cover of darkness to hide in, and the help ONE sniper. To defend yourself. You have to sneak around, stay in the shadows, and only engage hostiles when needed. The level itself is open and gives YOU the choice of which order you hit each building and which side you approach from. Allowing for much replayability with how many ways you can play the mission. The same can be said for the multiplayer with maps like Gun Runner, Hackney Yard, and Azhir Cave to name a few. They might SEEM like the simple 3 lane maps we've gotten used to seeing in these games at first glance, but they offer things like shortcuts, branching paths, high ground, low ground, and flanking routes. You're never FORCED to go down one singular path like in CoD WW2 or Infinite Warfare. The sound design is solid as well. Guns in this game sound powerful af! Voice acting is fantastic with the best coming from Farah and the Operators from the Multiplayer. It's by no means perfect, however. The campaign is actually pretty short and left me wanting more, cosmetics in the multiplayer are still locked behind microtransactions (though those dreadful lootboxes are gone and nowhere to be found as I type this), and Spec Ops is so ridiculously difficult that it's actually unfair. Words cannot describe how frustrating the Spec Ops missions are...especially when trying to complete them solo. However, I still say this is one of, if not THE best CoD since the original 2007 modern warfare! The pros outweigh the cons and I can't wait until the sequel comes out! To reiterate: Don't listen to the haters. You NEED to experience this game! Expand

    The graphics were horrible, the characters were stale connected with frayed meaningless strands of desperately written dialogue. It came to me like cancer, a surprise that ended my interpretation of my future- and especially my future with this particular brand of games. I have always been a very loyal supporter and patron of the call of duty series and to showcase this title or describe myself as fan has not only embarrassed me in front of my immediate family and coworkers, but has marked me for a traitor to entertainment and quality time well spent on American hobbies. If I were to suggest this particular video game to another person, it would surely be shortly before I assassinated them, as I can think of no scenario where I would recommend such a painful experience- were it not to precede ones own death. It really made me feel like I was being called to duty, a little something for everyone.

Look I know a series that goes on for a long time usually loses track after the tenth, but I’m gonna be real I’m not gonna **** the campaign was fantastic I don’t know what the hell anyone is talking about it was exactly like the old modern warfare games and yes it did involve politics with the Russians but that’s war and if you have a problem with that then it’s simple don’t play the game, the characters were very likable with honestly Alex becoming my favorite and honestly the only grudge I have with it is that they did not show general Barkov’s motivations on why he hated terrorists so much and yes they did commit atrocities but it was to ground the story and show how **** up it was and set the stage for the future, other than that the campaign is, dare I say FANTASTIC. Now the multiplayer I love it it really is a return to form and I never thought I would say that. The guns feel fantastic and the ttk is fair so I don’t know why anyone is complaining about that, but here is the big one. THE MAPS they are all viable for the sandbox of weapons and equipment, there is low ground high ground for snipers and close quarters for people who like to run smg’s and shotguns. The class customization is the best in the series BY FAR way better than modern warfare 2 which is a very hard thing to accomplish. The only maps I really don’t like is Euphrates bridge, Piccadilly, the store map which is just god awful, and Aniyah palace. Now the reason why I chose those is because all the weapons don’t fit in that map or you got some camping **** but it is really in those maps where I REALLY had a problem with camping all the other maps are A plus. Now I know Warzone got added and I just want to say WOW! I mean they really outdone themselves here bravo there is so much NEW! Gulag, 150 players, buy station, currency, I mean the mode is great and there is over 60 million players as of the time of this review so over all with Warzone 10/10. Now the final one CO-OP, I can’t say I’m a big fan and it’s disappointing because back in MW3 and MW2 this was one of my favorite modes, but the enemies are way to difficult, the objectives are RIDICULOUSLY difficult to accomplish and overall I’m really not liking this mode so overall 4/10 just to be generous. But anyway thank you who ever read this and I hope I brought the good and bad things to view and overall i Expand

    Not much of a multiplayer guy unless it’s with friends, but it’s the best CoD we’ve had in years. I loved the campaign, and the gunplay. It’s the most true-to-life fps we’ve had since Battlefield 3. It’s no Black Ops or the original Modern Warfare, though, but more than good enough to keep my CoD thirst quenched, and that’s something I can’t say for most of the recent ones.

    The game is very good but I think that it's a bit far by a cod game because it isn't fast paced like other cod and the developers aimed on realism. But It has a lot of elements of cod. Also they really made a very good and deep customization system on weapons.

    Just like every other call of duty campaign Russia = bad, Barkov is a pretty basic Cod antagonist. At least it has balls unlike every game in the series since 2012. The multiplayer is one of the best in the franchise. It has the best gunplay, amazing weapon customization, and best of all no loot boxes.

There are countless guns in MW, but yet all of them manage to be meta in some way. There are so many options, but they are all equally powerful. There's no "overpowered gun" or "trash gun" because the guns have been masterfully designed so that someone's opinion of the best gun might be another's worst gun. This game has it all.

    The story was surprisingly decent. Serves as a nice reboot of the MW series and the plot has some good teases/references to the trilogy. The main antagonist could've been developed further. They didn't feel like a proper villain as they weren't really explored into with much depth. They're evil but the game doesn't really elaborate further. It also has a very anti-Russian sort of feeling.

    Everything is upside down. Call of Duty has a better solo campaign than multiplayer after many years. We will remember a perfectly scripted war with a dense atmosphere, but we’ll forget about the unbalanced online multiplayer. [Issue#298]

    After a multiplayer-centric episode, the COD fans will be delight with the return of a nervous and strong solo campaign. Modern Warfare is back with old-fashioned gameplay that is more grounded and efficient. The generous amount of content adds some depth to one of the best chapters of the saga to date. Magic!

    Overall Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a good title that is marred by the expectations that the Modern Warfare name brings with it. The campaign has some really stellar gameplay moments that are brought down by the mediocre plot. Multiplayer was fun but felt a bit like the competition’s output (despite there being no Battlefield release this year) which may be a turn off for some. I don’t think Modern Warfare 2019 has done anything to make me rethink waiting for substantial price drops to play Call of Duty campaigns, because clearly multiplayer is still Activision’s main focus and that’s just not where I get my kicks.
