    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game became victim of it's own false advertisement. Infinity Ward's Campaign Gameplay Director Jacob Minkoff promised players "You can have characters you’re rooting for, but you’re only rooting for them because you’ve been presented their side of the story."

    So what's Barkov "side of the story", what's his motivation on commiting war crimes? That this is revenge for the death of his soldiers? No, he started shooting and gasing civilians since day one of invasion (mission Hometown).

    Minkoff promised "moral gray area", while this is the most black and white CoD game. Seriously, previous Modern Warfare games had more gray morale than this one. Back then both Russia and US had their bad guys (Zakhaev, Markov, Shepherd), each with their own understandable motivation.

    Here Russian forces (again, those are legit government forces, not Ultranationalists, not Inner Circle or some rogue general) doesn't have any viable motivation, just some cartoon villain logic: "We're doing evul thingz cuz we're evul!" It's like watching Rambo 3. Looks like IW tried to hang on them all the war crimes that they could remember (funny enough, including the ones US did in real life, like Highway of Death or Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse), all that just to make players hate them.

    There was some many ways to push the story into moral gray zone. Make ULF actual terrorists, with suicide vests and officially declaring Jihad, making Farah more of a spiritual leader in the same time, so that players had their doubts on helping them. Do not actually show those war crimes, instead make Farah only mention them, so that players could guess is all she saying is truth or just propaganda. Show Urzikstani Government Forces, with their own affiliation. Justify Barkov's actions, show that he want to defend both loyal locals and his men alike. Et cetera, et cetera...

    Russians are not mad because Russians are main bad guys - they were in every Modern Warfare game. Russians are mad because Russian army is protrayed as literal animals, worse than in any other MW game, while CIA and SAS are all white and clean, only making some "questionable" (actually not, all of those are easily justified) actions from time to time. All of that while talking that "any of the characters in this game are wholly right or wrong" (again, Minkoffs quote).

    Trying to blame all war crimes that happened recently in real world only on one side of the conflict makes this game one step from legit propaganda.

    Ok, what do we have:
    - Rusophobic propaganda - check;
    - SJW, feminist propaganda - check;
    Yes, it have good gameplay, yes - feeling of weapons is greatly improved, yes - graphics are better. But it all doesn't matter if you're goddamn propagandist. There's no place for your political agenda in games, get lost

    Техническая составляющая игры вполне добротная, перестрелки, окружение, звуки, фильтры, взять ту же самую зачистку дома.

    Снова в глаза сразу бросились бомбежка наших в Сирии (20 лет назад!, ага, когда РФ была занята Кавказом и Чечней, на секундочку). Американские вертолеты в Бердянске (да-да, Вердянск ничего не напоминате совсем/зачем РФ ПВО?), перестрелки в Питере (когда полицейские оперативно выехали из Саратова на трехколесном велосипеде), на полицейской машине РФ с европейскими номерами доехать до Молдовы через несколько границ и т.д. и прочее. Дети тыкают ножами в тело и ножи не застревают, ребенок может прицельно нажать на спусковой крючок револьвера и он не ломает им руки отдачей. Неделю не евшая/ не пившая/ не горящая в танках женщина гнущейся ложкой ломает крепления стальных решеток и протыкает ткань. Особенно обалденно, что в армии можно (ОКАЗЫВАЕТСЯ) не подчиняться, не исполнять приказы и делать что хочешь (особенно в американской, ага) - это же практически туристический лагерь. Русский генерал индусского происхождения, таскающий погоны старшего лейтенанта и полковника, не стареющий и не меняющий обмундирование 20 лет подряд (Вам бы, в игре про Вторую мировую, советским солдата цифру впаять, ну а чо) Чудотоворные свойства новых героев действительно позволяют не сомневаться, что божественные проявления есть!

    И опять русские русские Кремль русские. Отсутствие Логики. Потерянный в ходе разработки игры серый сюжет. Хорошая Аль-каида, плохая Аль-каида. Русские ведут себя хуже фашистов во время ВОВ с военнопленными в лагерях.
    Кстати, Ваше упущение: почему Вы не сделали про Скрипалей миссию?
    Типа, гуляете минуту по Лондону, потом такие звоните по МТС прямо напрямую в Генштаб, называете кодовые фразы, чины, звания, потом докладываете, что на месте и химическим отравляющим боевым веществом выводите на дверной ручке "Слава РОССИИ". Вот.
    Итог: просто отвратительно.

Рейтинг игры от профессиональных критиков на Metacritic составил 86 баллов — однако пользователи сайта начали массово выставлять Call of Duty: Modern Warfare крайне низкие оценки. Игроки в основном критикуют сюжет — по их мнению, Infinity Ward показала в кампании не обещанную «серую мораль», а явную антироссийскую пропаганду, так как большинство зверств совершают именно русские. «Создатели этой игры закончат так же, как и Йозеф Геббельс. Это чистая пропаганда. Не игра». «Снова злые русские? Придумайте уже что-нибудь новое! Вы постоянно говорите о толерантности, что все нации равны между собой, и в то же время ненавидите русских.

    This is an online review:

    After almost 15 hours of online gameplay since launch, I've been nothing but dissapointed. Let's start with the playlist. When I first launched the game it was not very many game modes, 1 ground war mode, 1 gunfight, 1 realism, but for normal play it was 5 game modes. When I pressed quick play it was TDM, Domination, Cyber Attack, Headquarters, and S&D.
    This is an online review:

    After almost 15 hours of online gameplay since launch, I've been nothing but dissapointed.
    Let's start with the playlist. When I first launched the game it was not very many game modes, 1 ground war mode, 1 gunfight, 1 realism, but for normal play it was 5 game modes. When I pressed quick play it was TDM, Domination, Cyber Attack, Headquarters, and S&D.

    When entering these modes there's not VOTE OPTION for which map to play. In my sense this is because there are like 6 maps in total and they didnt want people picking the same maps all the time. I think I've played every map around 6-7 times now, and let me tell you they are all ****
    If you played COD earlier just think of every **** map in every **** game and you have these maps in this game. Which **** idiot told Infinity Ward that ''Man we need a big ass map where people can run around for 5-10 minutes just to find one dude, and if you die you have to start over again''. Examples of these maps is the Aniyah Palace where all the action is in the palace, but you have an ATV near spawn to transfer you.

    Which brings me to my next issue; How many players in a lobby? Well throughout all the COD games there has been 5-6 players on every team, small maps, high action. This is where it gets bizzarre. You get 10v10 in a normal TDM to 100 points. 6v6 TDM to 75 points. Bigger maps smaller maps, but honestly in every 10v10 mode I've encountered being or doing the spawn trapping where even if you go back into the enemies spawn they don't switch spawns, neither in 6v6. Most games even end up not finishing because teams can't get to 75 or 100 points. Happens like every 2nd game you play.

    On to the gameplay; seems like one of the retards in Infinity ward was like, let's put 2 shot weapons AR in the game, or 3 shot single burst kills in the game. My point being, you DIE SO FAST and HEAL SO SLOW. You even have an attachment on your weapon that makes HEALING SLOWER now isn't that OP then I have no clue.

    You know the campers you always hated that Treyarch did so well too punish? Well say no more because here it is all about the camping with the freaking Morocco in this game. Feels like I'm going to a Bazar in every single map and in every single house there is a freaking moron who's camping with the claymore by the stairs.

    Oh you like Jiggle Peeking? Well you can't do that either, you jiggle peek and get shot twice you are dead. More often than not I've noticed that even tho I jiggle peek and I'm behind a wall after the peek I tend to die because the latency is so crap, and there are crappy servers.

    This one time I had a sniper and an SMG, I was sitting in a corner in a house near getting killstreaks even though they had spawn trapped us. So I was sitting there with my SMG in hand and suddenly I get shot through the freaking wall, I look at the killcam and I see my sniper is popping out on the opposite site of the building so the person that killed me saw my sniper and decided that here's a player I can shoot. Incredibly enough I died.

    Played 2 ground war games but it's just like battlefield, boring and a lot of running.

    Was really excited about this game and it let me down hard.
    Will be selling this crap to the next buyer. Hope he will have more fun with campers than I did.
    ****tiest COD game of all time, even worse than BO3 where you could fly in the air and run on walls.
    Atleast they had maps that were decent, and gameplay that wasn't buggy.
    No idea what the Editors are smoking when they rated the game, but I want what they have.

    The only thing I think they should forward from this game is changing class during game.

    Not a game, but continuous propaganda. In the interview we were promised a “gray morality” that there would be no good and bad sides, and in the end, apart from propaganda in one direction with a huge amount of lies, we did not get anything else. And the dumbest thing is that there are idiots who after the game will then say YES YES, everything was exactly YES. So where is the "gray morality" on all sides? Awake activists you hypocritical liars.

    Games are always interesting, fun entertainment, a good story. But then they give me a crude craft and tell me that I should hate the Russians. Probably because Activision needs Pentagon money, and they don't care about games. One point for the graphics, everything else just sucks.

    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.
