    Lots of people saying this is a big ploy to slander Russia. Sure, it pictures Russians as bad guys but I didn't come out of this game saying "HEY I HATE RUSSIANS NOW" I just came out of the game saying, "Man, that was an entertaining story with characters that I quite enjoyed." Nobody plays the game and says "OOOH I SURE DO HATE RUSSIA!"

    Who are they supposed to make the game based on? Muslims? Make the game based on them and then people complain that Activision is racist. Can't do Chinese because then everybody says that Activision is making propaganda against the Chinese. Now because of everybody complaining about this, they're probably going to have the next game be a massive SJW fest trying to pander to nobody and having an awful story because of it.    … Expand

    This is probably the best Call of Duty so far. It isn't any Sci-Fi **** and the graphics are topnotch!
    The TTK seems perfect to me. The campaign is also great. I replayed the terrorist house mission 5 times that's how great it is. But the fictional war crimes by the Russians are shocking (same as the "no Russian" scene) and too much.

After all, it is an American game and you can't say that Russia doesn't do anti-American propaganda itself [There is a Russian movie about Chernobyl where a CIA agent is responsible for the accident and every], maybe not so harsh but still.

    The new attachment system for all the guns is great and really gives you a good reason to grind. No attachment feels overpowered or too weak.

    And for god's sake finally, no micro-transactions or loot boxes in the game! I really hope it stays this way as long as possible. Cosmetics can really only be obtained by actually playing the game and the missions for it can't be skipped in any way. Great!    … Expand

    I think it’s a great game that Activision have published for a while. It has graphic and game mechanics. Though the storyline is very dark; that is both good and bad, this is because many people want to experience the game as realistic as possible, on the other hand, it can be very political and people can offended. I think there can be room for improvements.

    Just your daily reminder that the Russian army recently committed a butt load of war crimes in their unlawful annexation of the Crimea. Just in case anyone forgot. Game is great btw you should totally buy it.

One thing they need to improve is the maps because in regular team death match some of them will last so long because of how big the map and it’s more than few this year. Spec ops missions are quite lacklustre won’t know but survival mode is still Fun to play if your tired of campers from multiplayer. Overall it’s fun cod game and in my opinion one of the better ones in recent years.… Expand

    COD Modern Warfare in my opinion is a great game that has lots to do in the game. The game fills most peoples interests with a long detailed story or the action packed multiplayer. i feel like the game is the best cod since bo3. The only problem with the multiplayer is the way people play, camping players decide to sit in corners and it makes the game go on way to long.

    One of the best and most realistic and thought provoking call of duty campaigns in a long time. It's not afraid to show the player the brutality of modern warfare and the tough decisions made by our armed forces every day.

    Unlike it predecessors Call Of Duty Modern Warfare is definitely what the followers of the series truly wants:

    • The campaign is finally back with one heck of a story
    • The multiplayer has several modes that are fun to play
    • The spec-ops mode is a must try
    • The graphics & the details of the game are excellent, specially if your playing on a PS4 Pro

    This game is a must try.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare puts the franchise back where it needs to be. You get a wonderful campaign, team-oriented spec ops, and a variety of multiplayer options that cater to those who love large and small scale warfare.

    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.

    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.

I believe this is the best CoD we've had since Bo2 in my opinion because this game reallly brings back the joy of what the Call of Duty franchise was to other people before Ghosts. Not only that but the campaign, the way it is presented and the scenes that are both shocking and amazing is a very ballsy move by Infinity Ward because some scenes, like the one where we play as a young Farah really capture the horrors of war and trully gives you the sense of fear from these encounters or they make you feel certain emotions about the situations these people end up in.

    Most the bad reviews I see her on Metacritic feel very unjustifiable to be honest because you get this vine from their comments that they just bring this "traditional" hatred from other games and bring it here to this great game because it's new and wants to shake things up a bit.    … Expand

    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.
