    Standard COD Experience. That's mean Russians bad guy again. Story not compelling and not interesting original one. And not in big Hollywood like script action scene, actually is good. Graphics or mechanics always good and not disappointed again. But story and set up boring.I hardly finish

    Great campaign and a great new engine, ruined by intense SBMM and time to kill is too low so you can barely tell the difference between core and hardcore.

    Just awful propaganda from an american game studio. Why aren't you trying to talk about US war crimes during the Gulf War, supporting Islamic terrorism in Syria and military intervention in Libya? Just tell us better about the war crimes and lawlessness of the United States and americans. Your game studio is a record holder for hate speech.

    I am going to assess this game in 10 different categories and assign a score for each. This review is for PC user and please note, the console version is a completely different game and requires it's own review. the two versions are not comparable and I cannot emphasize this enough the PC and console version are inherently different video games. The categories are Visuals, Audios,I am going to assess this game in 10 different categories and assign a score for each. This review is for PC user and please note, the console version is a completely different game and requires it's own review. the two versions are not comparable and I cannot emphasize this enough the PC and console version are inherently different video games. The categories are Visuals, Audios, Interface, Single player story, Coop, Multiplayer, community, price, microtransactions and support:

    Visuals: this is perhaps one of the best looking call of duties of all time. everything looks good and you have a great amount of control over the settings. I have managed to make this game look amazing with minimal performance penalty on anything from a 1080 to a 3070. Here the game gets a full 10/10 for graphics;(10/10);

    Audios: the game has excellent sound design. this is not as good as what frostbite engine has to offer. gun sounds all sound dampened and lack base, how ever voice acting, sound effects and the weapons sounds all sound really good. this is for sure an above average sound design and I will give it a (9/10);

    interfaces. it is bad, they have put in minimal effort, party system is bad, placement of buttons are bad, there are very few cautionary interfaces in places that matter and and far too many in places that are not as important. if you are in loadout menus and your squad leader do anything you are pulled out. the main screen of your character walking endlessly is a roll of a dice! in each patch new bugs get introduced. anything from half of your screen glowing to your character not loading at all. this is so bad that I am going to assume they went out of their way to screw this up and I am going t ogive them a 0/10, inexcusable! (0/10);

    Single player story: the game is ok, I actually had a lot of fun playing it until it got to the blatant racism, torture, and abuse of children. in older call of duty games they used to be more subtle, this is just poor writing, there are a million ways to portray someone as bad, this was just unimaginative. that being said I had fun playing the single player. I am giving it a (8/10);

    Coop: I was going to give this section a 10/10 but I am instead giving it a 0/10 here is why; coop was good. it had a healthy community, no toxicity, fantastic implementation of crossplay and an amazing story line to back it up. it was fun to play and easy to ear experience points in. However, they are trying to burry it, the servers have become non-responsive and do not put you in matches anymore, menus are broken and riddled with bugs and they keep getting worse in each patch. if Activision does not care about this portion of their game, I am not going to give them any points. this is the only part of this game that worth the price tag and they don't want to maintain it. (0/10);

    Multiplayer: On PC it is bad, does not worth your time, bad net code laggy buggy and broken with terrible match making. incredibly toxic community filled with racism, sexism and filth. children screaming things that are absolutely inexcusable. filled with cheaters and you have no way of reporting verbal abuse, bullying racism and sexism. on PC it is a pile of garbage unless y7ou are playing a custom match with a group of people you know, but at that point you and your friends can literally play anything else. (0/10);

    Community: Single player does not have a community, coop has an excellent respectful community but as we established if Activision does not care I am not giving them points for it and the multiplayer is garbage. I am going to give it a -5 points. I feel half of my maximum amount of happiness, less happy when I engage with this community; (-5/10);

    Price: there are better indie games that cost less and do not have microtransactions. this is a $15 game that is being marketed as a $70 title. I am giving this a (2/10);

    Microtransactions: they are not cosmetic, those skins yield in-game advantages, some skins are harder to see in game, some weapon tracers and effects (like the pixel one) block your view and give the shooter an advantage. some kill animation (floaty skulls etc) actually block your vision. dark outfits like rose's dry suit in a shadow make her practically invisible. This game is effectively pay to win. (0/10);

    Support: The support sometimes shows some surprising acts of competence that is truly out of character for Activision developers. but 70% of the time they are useless incompetent people providing **** support. Sometimes the game refuses to load and you have to redownload a 200 GB game ... hope your internet does not have a data cap! (3/10);

    so averaging all the scores it is a 2.7 out of 10. I round it up just incase I am being to harsh.    … Expand

    My top 3 favourite games in no order (as I like them all the same) are Cod 4, Black Ops 2 and 3, and this game has a good chance of replacing one of them as I have really enjoyed it so far, haven't played the campaign and have only played one short game in Warzone, the Multiplayer is where I'm always at and its absolutely fantastic I love playing it its very fun and I hope to keep on playing

    The bad russian, good captain america plot aside, the game is extremely fun to play. Clearing rooms, going dark etc was just exhilarating. Black ops cold war is a major downgrade. I'm sticking with this one.

    The price ... this is priced far too high for its age and given the fact its been essentially abandoned in favor of black ops.

    Warzone is not something I play but I have to download it and install all updates for it.

    The updates for this game are enraging there is no other word for it, the numerous amount of times I have finished work opened up battle net wanting a quick game after a hard day only to be met with a update which will take so long to download you wont be playing till the next day at the very least is unforgivable in terms of updates.

    I have had numerous occasions after installing 190GB game where I have had to download 100+gb updates, the last one was 3 days ago for a 5 GB update which took most of my evening to download to yesterdays 32 GB update which is still downloading.

    The worst part is none of these updates are for multiplayer they are for warzone which I don't play or for black ops crap which I don't own.

    Also the battle pass is now completely defunk for MW because no rewards are for MW they are all for warzone which is FREE and black ops which I don't own ... so I paid £50 for a game I no longer gett any content updates for but free warzone which I don't even play gets updates?

    This is the first COD game I bought since early 2000's and will be the last this kind of crap is completely unforgivable and enraging when all I want to do is relax and shoot people in the face.    … Expand

If you dont want to waste 90$ for a game that doesn't want to work and multiplayer never worked. Trust me, you will save so much money

    The game is fine... But the mechanics of how the game is managed on your device is ridiculous, the game being divided into sections and auto deleting them if you haven't played in a while... Not fun for us casual gamers. Also the way they integrate the next version of the game (cold war) into the menu is terrible, I didn't buy cold war, I boughtodern warfare stop forcing your crap onto me.

    This game is the best COD in... history. Not talking about the story. Everything is smooth, graphics are nice... This engine is revolutionary, and i really hope it gets used for the next CODs.
    But the maps are too big. This would have been better received if it was called Hiking Simulator, because on the bigger maps you usually spend more time running from A to B than capturing A or B.

The AI and kill to death ratio is completely manipulated to suit Activision's narrative which is make everybody average and let people who are terrible at the game beat you even after you putting 10 bullets in them so they can have as many people playing as possible for more profit. You shoot them 4 times in the face and get shot in the toe with 1 random bullet with 3 armour plates on and you die. There’s no logic the game is rigged. The same thing EA does this game does. Name a game that you have no control over winning? They get streamers to go and change their settings to go into lobbies full of noobs and make content and it makes the game look good but every single person on my friends lists kill to death ration is 50% kills 50% deaths and I have at least 20 people. We’re just giving people money that are lying to us and miss selling games to people under the pretence that they’re skill based shooter competitions but the fact is whatever category Activision has placed gamers in they won’t get out of it. The more you play this game the worse you get at it. Auto aiming away from your target even although I’m literally aiming perfectly on the target to begin with.

    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.
