    I think it's funny how soft people are now days that they are going to cry about a story line. Sometimes maybe the truth hurts I guess for some. It's more surprising to me that Russia has so many people to review bomb a video game, sad. So here is the actual review.

    I think the game will be the best in the series . The multiplayer feels really good, and the campaign is very well done.

    I think the game will be the best in the series . The multiplayer feels really good, and the campaign is very well done. Activision needs more maps for multiplayer for sure. They essentially just used the maps from the campaign in the multiplayer, but that does not change how good the multiplayer gameplay is. The people that complain about camping are the people that probably suck at the game.

    If you are looking for a solid game, this is a good fit.

    While not the greatest entry in the Call of Duty series. It does have a great narrative that sets it up for another trilogy.

    Which by the way things are going, is probably going to be shot down quite quickly. It's quite unfortunate that missions such as no Russian get quickly overlooked. While this game doesnt paint anyone like a hero, but more so victims of their government/superiors.

    I'd say pick this up and judge for yourself, hell even if just for the multiplayer (which has been reworked nicely, and feels like a call back to Call of Duty 4)

    amazing story, despite what the "Russians" say. its FICTIONAL. Multiplayer is fun and enjoyable with an abundance of modes, and a spectacular progression system. Lacking a significant number of good maps. Some guns need balancing. Spec-ops feels bare bones and should be avoided. Has the potential to be an overall amazing game with new maps, balancing and updates to both multiplayer and spec-ops.

    Possibly the best CoD since the original modern warfare games. Solid campaign that isn’t afraid to shy away from the reality of war, although it is worth pointing out that it is a remarkably short campaign as we’ve come to expect from Activision. Multiplayer is serviceable by CoD standards. Nice to have boots on the ground and a leveling system that feels meaningful and satisfying.Possibly the best CoD since the original modern warfare games.

Multiplayer is serviceable by CoD standards. Nice to have boots on the ground and a leveling system that feels meaningful and satisfying. However, a lot of the maps are camping magnets which unfortunately does detract from the fun a fair bit when a spawn point is completely picked apart by someone that holds down L2 for the duration of the game Expand

    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

    Seriously don't take notice of the people that are so sensitive of the " Russians " this game is the best cod since Black ops 1. The only thing they need to do it adjust some of the maps so you don't get spawn killed (e.g bridge across the map looking into the spawn) and tanks need to have limited shells instead of unlimited .

    Buen juego pero los mapas son muy grandes como para duelo por equipo y hay mucho lugares para campear y ese es el estilo de shooter que brinda call of duty modern Warfare y los otros modos de juego están muy bueno

    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.

    Story is fine, most of the comments are based on a lack of actually playing through the full game and are only here to hate on Activision because they made the Russians the bad guys, who cares.

Multiplayer is mostly good, guns need some balancing and the maps are pretty bad, but it looks great and feels good to play. Spec Ops was a huge let down but could be made better if they fleshed it out a bit and gave it the old 3 star system from MW2 and MW3. Overall good game, and it doesn't deserve the hate it's getting on its campaign, things like this could happen, are happening, or happened already, so get over it. Expand

    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

There are some glitches like bits if people sticking out trough walls and taking damage if they’re shot.

    This game has captivated me for a good week in a half. There are multiple issues such as camping, lack of game modes and lack of maps but these problems can be easily rectified with a few patchs. Otherwise, the game experience with graphics and sounds of guns has been amazing and you feel motivated to play on. I am also a massive massive fan of skill-based mode

    The multiplayer is fun if you’re a fan of more tactical FPS games, or a fan of the original Modern Warfare series. While the map design and spawn system may be questionable at times, the gunplay and loadout customization is the best I’ve ever seen in any FPS. The main item that holds this game back is Spec Ops. The operations, which is the main feature of spec ops, is completely broken and downright unplayable due to ridiculous numbers of enemies and objectives to complete. The other missions to do for the mode are relatively unoriginal and uninspiring. Overall, I think the game is fantastic and can be quite rewarding if you’re willing to put in time and effort. Some people criticize elements of the game like map design or the game meta, but I enjoy the challenge the game offers that this series has been lacking for several years.

    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.
