    The game is made very unprofessional. Other countries are shown much worse than they are. Nothing to do with reality. Looks like propaganda.

    Что за бред? Почему суть компании можно описать в двух словах - плохие русские! Я конечно понимаю, что делалось в основном для Американского рынка. Но зачем перевирать исторические факты и ваши косяки, скидывая на кого-нибудь другого. Особенно порадовала фишечка, что глава исламской группировки - женщина! Не бред ли?! Впервые могу согласиться с федеральными каналами.    … Expand

    From a technical point of view, the game is nice to play. Realistic graphic, game mechanics and other features, but it's nothing compering with the amount of politic involved in it.

For Russians, who can easily leave their homes and see the real Russia, the fact that omeone in some kind of a game says that Russians are terrorists is not offensive itself, but its extremely offensive when this someone makes other people believe it. Shame on this game!… Expand

    This is the best that Call of Duty has been in a very long time. It offers the strongest campaign since Black Ops 2 and the multiplayer can be very fun when it's not being plagued by lobbies of campers. The co-op mode unfortunately needs a lot of work.

    A damn fine game and a bloody good shooter.
    Great characters, terrific narrative, fantastic graphics.
    Some truly jaw dropping moments and spectacular set pieces
    Turn back to the MW games of old
    Ignore the "politics" this is just a game anyone who calls it propaganda is an ignorant fool. Its just entertainment and phenomenal at that

    Modern Warfare is a convincing game campaign-wise. I won’t enter into the politics ground where some things are indeed criticizable. My review is made with the belief that the story of this game is purely fictional, but I get some people might get offended by the way the truth of some real-life-similar events might be modified. Those things aside, the campaign was quite a good surprise. IModern Warfare is a convincing game campaign-wise. I won’t enter into the politics ground where some things are indeed criticizable. My review is made with the belief that the story of this game is purely fictional, but I get some people might get offended by the way the truth of some real-life-similar events might be modified. Those things aside, the campaign was quite a good surprise. I felt interested and entertained. Unlike most of other CoDs, it was not just about shooting enemies from point A to B with a dull story. There was more depth in this story mode, more variety. You can play as a soldier trying to neutralize a terrorist attack or as a child seeing his country destroyed. We’re showed something new, something different with many bridges made to our current world. It’s really good to see great Campaigns being made again. Unfortunately, it is very short. It would be good if the sequel is released in a DLC but that will most likely be MW2 material.

    The multiplayer mode got me very excited at first sight. The weapon design is very profound, there are a lot of attachments and weapons can virtually be unique (even though in the end some weapons are always overused), each having a different feel. I loved the new Gunfight mode, and Ground War is a smart addition despite its many flaws (vehicles?). Crossplay is also such a perfect addition, and NAT problems were all corrected in the process of it. Connection-wise (despite the 12hz private matches), I am very happy with this game. Something I regret is the absence of ranked play (and a bad private match system where items cannot be banned, once again, resulting in abuses such as seen in CDL Minnesota), but instead we got a SBMM system that fails to convince me. Furthermore, some of the maps are very debatable, knowing the developers had in mind to make them newbie-friendly (i.e. safe zones) took dynamism away and quite frankly results in too much camping. Maps such as Azhir Cave or Piccadilly are questionable, alongside the large size maps such as the horrendous Euphrates Bridge. All that said, I think the MP remains correct, but not good enough to make one think it’s better on every aspect than all what COD has showed in previous titles.

    Finally, we cannot ignore the Spec Ops mode. And I would say that this was my biggest disappointment. It’s empty, feels very cheap, and IW did it way better 12 years ago. I don’t like the idea to make it on a giant BR-like map. The ops are all similar, without any good story background (despite many teases aimed at making us think oppositely) and boring. Day one, there were very few ops, and at this day (26/01/20), I am still very disappointed in it. If the Spec Ops mode of MW was similar to the ones of MW2 & MW3, the game would have been a success in my opinion. But this big minus shows how not ready IW were to release this game, and once again, gave the community less than what it expected.

    That being said, the game is good. We’ve seen good things, and we must encourage Activision to continue in this direction. Crossplay and limitation of microtransactions are important additions that I hope will show the way for the future.    … Expand

    I'm really enjoying this back to basics approach. The Gunsmith adds a bit of nuance to the game as you start getting quite attached to all the different builds you can do. This is from someone who couldn't get on with fortnight or Apex.

    Overall I do not understand why a sane person would still be giving my money for CoD games? There are plenty of gems out there. Actual games with good story that are treated like art and not as some petty effort to portray others being evil when in reality yourself are just far worse.    … Expand

But, since Battlefield 5 came out and was extremely dissapointed, I decided to give Modern Warfare a try. I'm very impressed with the game overall! The graphics are top notch, the controls are pretty simple, the sound effects are great as compared to older COD titles that I have played. I also thought the story mode was the best yet. Some moments were disturbing and most likely were created for shock value solely. It's a shame that so many Russian people down voted this because they were offended. Nobody really gives a Sh** that there are inacurracies in "Highway of death" and that this may be anti-Russian propoganda. Nobody thinks all Russians are evil either. I also think its foolish to think that the Russian military is completely squeaky clean in their operations either, like the KGB for example, had some of the dirtiest tactics invented. So I'm just saying Russian people, your being total blind/dumb/hypocrites. Anyway, Online has tons of modes and lots of potential, but, the maps offer almost no cover unless you want to camp, which is what 90% of the online community does. I'm not complaining, but I think it's hilarious that if you walk out in the open for 1 second you instantly die. Definitely fun at moments but can be extremely frustrating when the teams are mismatched talent-wise. The online Co-op is also great but very tough. Don't even try this mode with Rando's, as you will die fairly quick in the level. This mode is best played with friends or a solid crew with headsets/communication.
    Overall, really good game, the story mode was it's strong point. The multiplayer is fun too but also frustrating as the maps favor campers. I think with time it will be more evened out with updates so until then I'll practice at getting better and more familiar with tactics that work in this game.    … Expand

Generally, the multiplayer is pretty boring with few unlocks to care about...Cold War... but almost every unlock and score streak felt amazing to use. Even if some guns weren’t as competitive as others, I still enjoyed using them the challenge and fun. Infinite ward also changed the multiplayer meta in a way that made it feel real but also like an arcade. Infinite Ward set the bar for all other games to come after it. Unfortunately, Cold War has since fallen well behind modern warfare’s shadow. While not every COD will be the same going forward, I truly hope that they learn from how amazing modern warfare is.

    Crossplay is both a welcomed introduction and cursed one. On one hand, it’s awesome to play with friends regardless of their system and it makes for more populated games. On the other hand, it clearly highlights how disadvantaged console players are to PC players. Mouse and keyboard will forever be easier/quicker than a controller. I currently own this on PlayStation and Xbox.    … 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.
