    Haven't played a CoD game since Black Op 2, but I was impressed with the mature take on civil wars and our current state of affairs in our world. I wrote a review to address the blatant discrimination a lot of reviewers are pressing on here because of how sides of war are presented.

    Haven't played a CoD game since Black Op 2, but I was impressed with the mature take on civil wars and our current state of affairs in our world. I wrote a review to address the blatant discrimination a lot of reviewers are pressing on here because of how sides of war are presented.

    1. The game is a mature take on terrorism and warfare, something that a lot of gamers just aren't going to grasp in the single player campaign. The beginning showcases this with suicide bombers in London and a chemical depot controlled by the Russian military.

    2. To call this game "propoganda" while the Russian military invaded the Crimean peninsula and the U.S. controlled by a Hitler-esque leader is both concerning and funny. Funny because it shows the aptitude of those bombing this game, concerning because it means they aren't that well educated.

    3. As a game, Call of Duty overhauled its graphics engine and the game runs very well. The only mechanic I dislike is the sliding, but that is a small gripe as the weapons feel realistic and the maps are diverse in setting.

    4. The vast arsenal of firearms along with more realistic mechanics (weapon spray, recoil, bullet drop) are welcomed additions and I've enjoyed utilizing these warfare tools in the game.

    All in all, I think that Call of Duty has triggered the neo-nazi's, russian terrorists and psychopaths of our society through the story-telling. If you can't handle politics, then how do you plan on living in the world? Politics is literally in everything, but then again, some people's brand of politics are trash-posting, narcissim and god-complexes.

    9/10, a welcomed change of pace for CoD that has me satisfied with their product for the first time in a very, very long time.

    Good game in general comparing to the other games from the saga.

Multiplayer: Good gameplay with a lot of accesories and camouflages for the guns but here's the worst part, THE MAPS. They are horrible. I can just say they are ruining the gameplay, making people camp so much that is almost

I can just say they are ruining the gameplay, making people camp so much that is almost impossible to move without being shot from 20 places at the same time.

    Spec ops: (I've played survival and the normal missions) it's a great mode where you can chill out with your friends, survival mode is good but it isn't for the pc or xbox version until next year.

    in general facts, it is a good game, but the multiplayer experience isn't as good as old CoDs.

    COD returning to its roots, not afraid to innovate with new graphics engine, other FPS cry with the fluidity of its gameplay, the story has a great moral and ethical weight, not knowing right or wrong just needed to deal with the situation finally note 10

    This game is NEAR PERFECT and the overall "user score" for Modern Warfare is unbelievably ridiculous.

    For its 16th year in business, this game can not be altered in any way without getting insane amounts of backlash from the same people who "want something new", plus there is NOTHING you can do that is new. IT'S BEEN DONE BEFORE. Taking that into consideration, this game BLOWS ME

    For its 16th year in business, this game can not be altered in any way without getting insane amounts of backlash from the same people who "want something new", plus there is NOTHING you can do that is new. IT'S BEEN DONE BEFORE.

    Taking that into consideration, this game BLOWS ME AWAY. Yes, they bring back the nostalgia, yes, you feel it, YES, YOU WILL LOVE IT, yes, it is the same, yes, it is different. This game is the conglomeration of old and new and Activision blew it out of the water. You feel the fun, the rush, the enjoyment and intensity of early COD:4 / MW2 with MW. It's the same old game that is completely re-vamped and new. And it WORKS.

    The gun animations, the new gun system, the perks, EVERYTHING IS DONE ACCURATELY AND PRECISELY. The leveling system is NEW and memorable. The sound effects are INSANE. MOTHER OF GOD, IT'S LIKE I'M ON THE BATTLEFIELD. Bullets cut the air as they wiz past your ear. Your teammates scream at different volumes based on their distance away. Gun effects are amplified in tunnels, rooms and are less apparent outside. It feels REAL. It feels nostalgic.

    This game captures the essence of Call of Duty without being completely being nostalgic.

    Call of duty is back. Never expected this solid of a release. Multiplayer is fun and barebones while the campaign may actually be the best fps campaign I've played. Beatiful graphics, beatiful and technical weapons. Just pure fun. My mouth dropped at the cutscenes and some gameplay scenes as well.

    Show this game to 12 yr old me playing MW2 and my brain would be **** melted. Some glitches and bugs but i trust those will get ironed out soon. Campaign had jaw on the floor moments and really captured the essence of what “modern warfare” means. This is exactly what Call of Duty in 2019 should look and feel like.

    This game is definitely worth playing. Didn't see such a deep and contradictory plot in years, especially in the FPS game.

    The best call of duty game I’ve played since modern warfare 3, amazing campaign, multiplayer and spec ops, and with a battle royale rumoured to come there is a ton of a content to play unlike the call of dutys of recent years the last of which didn’t even have a campaign.

    It's such a good Game, not only because his multiplayer but for the single player. I havent enjoyed playing a CoD for a long time, but now I am doing It. I feel like I am looking forward to playing It again while I am working.
    Of corse, it is not a 10, but I give it to it to fight against people that give it a 0, regardless of havent played it.

    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.
