    Pero hay algo que realmente me enoja y es que no se para que m*erda lo tocan, estoy hablando de los mapas. Señores no les miento cuando digo que este cod es el cod con PEORES MAPAS DE LA SAGA, ahora no esta más la distribución de 3 caminos que había anteriormente, y yo pensé que iba a ser un gran acierto por parte de Infiniti Ward... Un grave error.

    Todos los mapas tienen 40 ventanas para que la gente se te quede esperando y te maten una y otra vez sin saber donde estas, los enemigos son poco visibles y la gran mayoría se aprovecha de todas las aperturas de los mapas para campear toda la partida entera.

    Siendo sincero este es un muy buen juego, pero estos problemas van a terminar dejándolo pero que Black Ops 4, y eso es caer bajo.

    PD: Y me olvide decir que el p*to sonido esta ROTO.

Issues with the naming aside, revisiting the title responsible for turning Call of Duty into one of the biggest juggernauts in gaming via this reboot has proved to be the redemption they needed. The Call of Duty experience has in no way been redefined, but by going back to basics like this and readopting the structure of their earlier works, Infinity Ward has delivered their best, most varied, and fun game since 2011's Modern Warfare 3.

    While the campaign may test your patience when it comes to Russophobia and historical revisionism, it's hard to fault the actual gameplay. Much like Call of Duty 4, the single-player offering is a diverse series of memorable and exciting encounters. The exploration of the more horrific elements of war and combat are interesting, if also controversial. Placing civilians and children infront of your gun is an odd move for a series known for deriving fun from it's bombastic action and non-stop shooting, but it did garner an emotional reaction from me when I was forced to pick shots carefully in a crowded city to avoid killing innocents or something along those lines, even if that response was just disgust at the brutality of the moment.

    The multiplayer is a blast. It's largely still the same experience we've been playing for years now in terms of the modes and core gameplay, but the new engine makes it all feel fresh again. The controls are the same, but shooting is better than ever as weapons carry a sense of real weight are more devastating than ever. The presentation is also phenomenal. The photorealistic graphics and outstanding sound design (I'll likely never tire of hearing bullet casings hit the ground) make each match just cinematic as any of the campaign levels. The amount of freedom you're given to customize your guns and overall loadouts offer the depth of an RPG and the returning War mode from WWII offers the scale and massive battles of a Battlefield game.

    The reinvigorated Spec Ops is a nice change of pace from the now repetitive Zombies offering we typically get. Although I personally would have preffered the return of Ghosts' underrated "Extinction" mode, it's hard to not appreciate the amount of genuine cooperation and tactics these missions require even if the difficulty of them can be downright grueling. I would love to see a patch that makes enemies less aggressive as often times failure isn't the result of poor planning or teamwork, but rather every AI on the map bum-rushing your location at once.

    With their last two outings coming up short of past glories and causing them to lag behind their peers in the series, Infinity Ward wisely decided to take a look back at what worked for them when they created what is still widely considered to the best Call of Duty. While not without its controversial elements in the monetization and story, this reboot is definitely a welcome return to form. Modern Warfare is once again the king of the FPS scene and it's all due to it capturing a style similar to the one that wowed everyone back in 2007.

Yet it also goes deeper as certain levels have you switch roles throughout, including one harrowing mission where you play as a child. The action sequences are once again spectacular, and the creators are uncompromising in their depiction of terror and violence. This is one of the darkest entries in the entire franchise. But it remains gripping and endlessly thrilling from the first mission to the last.

    I've needed a good FPS campaign, and especially a good CoD FPS shooter campaign, and Infinity Ward has delivered. Sensitive or politically correct players be damned. Can't wait for the next installment.

    As far as the story mode itself, it's actually really good but i wouldn't doubt the CIA slides some money to IW/Activision to portray Russians and other people the way they did.

Metas dominate this game, guns that have been nerfed multiple times still beam, camp fests, snipers are heavily outclassed, footsteps way too loud so alot of soundwhoring, etc.

    Warzone was good for the first two weeks then everyone started camping on rooftops and buy stations, setting up traps, snipers literally everywhere. It's a shame because the game had so much potential to be the best CoD. Also $24 for a skin bundle is highway robbery but lots of people buy them so i guess yall got it made.

    Honestly i do play the game frequently because i just want some simple, arcade shooter fun but I can't take this game seriously at all. I basically just troll with shotguns and explosives

    - Despises campers especially with claymores
    - Can't run and gun or sneak because youre footsteps are too loud
    - Maps that promote camping, and leave you vulnerable because the enemies have too much line of sight.
    - Horrible maps
    - Can barely see enemies, especially certain maps
    - Getting killed by the shotgun.

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019 is a re-imaging of Modern Warfare 2007 with a realistic approach to it's story and to how multiplayer is played.

    The story is by far very great. Not excellent, but very great that ultimately got me hyped for the next Modern Warfare re-imagined game. The audio and visuals are spectacular that will leave you in awe at the details Infinity Ward has presented here. And to put icing on the cake Cross-play is a thing within this game

    But let's shift the focus of this review to the issues because there are plenty

    1) "imbalance" of cross-play.
    If you have NOT played a FPS game on the PC do NOT activate cross-play you are dealing with players who are operating with controls that have accurate precession that will get you really upset and frustrated. What would've been better is an option to have players go up against Xbox players OR PC players but not console vs PC. In other words, you wonder WHY you died against a PC player? That's why. It isn't about who shot first, it's more about the controls.

    2) Multiplayer maps are....meh.
    The maps are all the same with a bunch of stuff added in to add the 'tension' when it comes to playing multiplayer. There needs to be more unique maps added to make the matches feel more engaging because more than not you will stumble upon a bunch of camper lobbies that will ruin the fun and make you leave a match

    3) Some guns are OP and some guns are not.
    There needs to be a serious buff and nerf to a lot of the guns because they do stupid damage in some cases and in other cases with other guns those particulars don't do enough damage.

    4) Exclusive platform content.
    Everyone should be playing the same amount of content on the same day. Yes, games can't do this. But here there is no excuse; Spec Ops should be available to all platforms and not just one. Bad move Sony and Activision

    5) "Objective" playing is more harder than ever
    I guess this is a combination of 1,2 & 3. But the real gripe here is how badly some of these matches can go because of how each map in scope feels and plays the same. While you are up against players who have OP guns and quicker reflexes if you are playing on PC. There is no "git gud" here, especially when the maps feel the same in scope, the guns feel and play on entirely two different spectrum, and the cross-play differences make it way harder than it needs to play to play objective based modes. Infinity Ward MUST put some sort of leash on campers especially on Ground War because it is extremely annoying when you are dealing with campers, cross-play differences, and guns that are on two entirely different spectrum's.

    Overall,
    This game's story is very good but the multiplayer mode needs a lot of improvement and additions to make it wholesome

    A lot of people are eating this game down for the in your face American propaganda, and while that is true people forget that Russia is NOT our ally. They're quite the opposite in fact so while I may hate the propaganda I also see Russians as a viable villain. Putting politics aside though, this game is great. Fun multiplayer, fun gameplay, and sweet graphics. Pick it up and ignore the propaganda.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I give my review, I wanted to address the spam reviews over the Russian's portrayal in the campaign. There are "3 IMPORTANT FACTORS" they seemed to miss understand. First, they established the Russians your verse in the story are run by a rogue general and his regime (similar to COD 4) AND NOT A PART OF THE ACTUAL RUSSIAN MILITARY. The second and most important thing to note is this is A FICTIONAL STORY. Some of the countries and events aren't even real. If we can tolerate a Russian airport massacre in MW2, then I think we can suck it up for this. The final thing is a spoiler so skip to the next paragraph if you don't wanna read it. The ending confirms Modern Warfare is a prequel to COD 4 and Barkovs remaining forces are rounded up by Zakia's so its a part of continuity. Anyway, now I give my UNBIASED review.

    Let me start by saying, this is the best COD's been in YEARS. It's not perfect, but you have no idea how great it is to see them actually put some effort, try something new without disregarding what worked, and actually take risks. And believe me, I'm no COD shill; in fact, I haven't bought a COD game since BO2 and haven't liked one since. But I always hoped we could return to Modern Warfare's roots. I always wished the campaigns could be darker and taken more serious and the multiplayer could promote more smart and tactical playstyles like COD 4 did instead of all these run-in-gun, 360 no scope, Faze players, who in my personal opinion, really dumbed down COD. And for BETTER or WORSE, that is actually what I got.

    Starting with the campaign, it's fantastic. The reworks animations, graphics, and sound design really make this a great looking game: borderline real looking at times. And the missions, cutscenes, and transitions between are seamless and well handled. This isn't a half-baked campaign like Black Ops 3's were half of one mission is just you holding the right trigger while you wave a turret around at dumb enemies. The missions are very diverse and give you countless play styles from more empowering moments like calling drone strikes or piloted a chopper gunner to more intense, stressful (in a good way) or even borderline horrifying moments like trying to defuse a bomb vest, playing as a child who's trying to escape her village that's being attacked, or clear a apartment building with both hostile and civilians inside. And that's the best part of the campaign! It takes risks and doesn't hold back. While it might not convey the same emotion as MW2's "No Russian" mission, you can't tell me you didn't feel anything when a terrorist had a child at gunpoint and you had to refuse to let him in to protect everyone else at the embassy. It definitely gives you a lot of tough choices and the writing and characters really enforce it. Price is back and more fleshed out than ever, a lot of the new cast is great, the villains, while not AS iconic as Makarov, are still better than the usual generic villains, and the fan service to previous modern warfare games is just beautiful. My only two complaints with the campaign are the lack of intel collectibles and only around 6 hours on normal difficulty. But I'd rather have a short great campaign than a long boring one like BO3 or none like BO4.

    Now multiplayer. I hated how a lot of the recent COD maps in past games had lazy 3-lane maps with not many alternate routes that force you to just take one of 3 paths. It just promoted players to mindlessly run and gun, die and repeat the process until they get a quad feed instead of actually playing the game tactically. Yes, Call of Duty was never THE MOST tactical game, but back in COD 4, you actually tried in that game. And the maps expressed that with more complex map design with secret routines, crawl spaces, and overwatch positions. And now they brought that back... And people are complaining about the maps being too complex and too many campers just like they did in MW2. While I agree some maps like Piccadilly and Euphrates Bridge aren't great, I haven't had a frustrating time with most of them as people claim to be having. Just watch your corners, take it slow, and don't run out in the open like idiots. The gunplay feels like classic COD with some welcomed new mechanics like door breaching. The guns also feel great and this time has recoil and different sounds. There are plenty of modes to enjoy and the progression system is just addicting. While some map and weapon balancing would be nice, I'm in the minority that actually LOVES the multiplayer and actually learned the maps instead of whining about it 2 days after release.

    The last and more disappointing part is spec ops. It's not like the missions from MW1-3, but instead horde mode with objectives. And between ability glitches, non-stop enemies, and huge difficulty spikes, it's not very enjoyable. Not much else to say.

    Overall, this game doesn't deserve the hate it's getting because it did what we asked: it brought COD back to its

    The game has an amazing weapon customization system. Although the pumping arms a bit to long. Actually, the way the weapon sounds and looks, how it is animated-all at a very high level.
    The game engine has been updated. Added night battles. The ability to fire from behind cover, etc.
    As for the story missions, they are quite typical for the series. But the pitch itself is lopsided and stinks of propaganda a mile away. I have enough of this nonsense on the local news and I want to see a quality story, sane motivation of the characters. Not " they're evil because they're evil."

    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.
