    The Campaign is Amazing! And the multiplayer is great and spec ops is great but 2 things they need to do is edit foot steps and specialist streaks

    Story: Its okay, visually its the best we've ever gotten, Story wise its all about Terror and so on and on. There are some really good missions but most are forget able. It turns into the same Russia bad America good story we've seen a hundred times already.

    Multiplayer: Animations and graphics are very nice, but there are some huge problems.
    First of all is the TimeToKill wich is way too short, you get killed so quick you can't even turn around.
    Footsteps are way too audible you can hear them from miles away.
    Some weapons are too strong, like the 725 shotgun which does too much damage over range. Its more realistic no doubt but its not a good game play mechanic. Claymores are too strong since you can now hide them behind doors and there is no way for you to tell if there is one or not.
    And last and probably most important: camping is too easy. All of the mentioned problems mean that sitting silently in a corner is as effective as ever. People just camp in a corner and wait till some one runs into their claymore, and if that doesn't finish the job they can just pre aim you because the footsteps are so damn audible. I've had rounds in wich you heard absolutely no gunfire for a minute because everyone was camping in a house. And its not a rare occurrence either, people camp in every round. So far I've had NO round were no one was camping, it's actually insane how many people camp now. And stuns are too powerfull as well, they don't just slow you down they make you completely unable to look around, and they last too long.

    The good about the multiplayer is the gun customisation is really detailed and fun to use.
    Weapons now have recoil unlike most other CoD's.
    New modes Ground War and 2v2 are pretty good.(Tho tanks are definitely too strong)
    Abilities are a good addition to the game.
    A lot of the map is more accessible so you can reach places you couldn't in other CoD's.

    Neutral Stuff: These are based on your own preference. Most maps are bad. Some weapons are inconsistent e.g. the k98 and mk2.
    Killstreaks are in the game only mode without them 2v2.
    Overall its much better than its predecessor but still needs change.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel this game worked as its own game, as a COD game, it doesn't work. The campaign was enjoyable and I thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay, It does three things I don't like.
    1. They make it way to controversial. I don't have a problem with there being graphic content in a game, but when there is a 2 minute long section of the game where you're waterboarded, that's a little unnecessary.
    2. Overly demonized the Russians. Like seriously guys, wtf is with their portrayal of them. I get their has to be the "bad guys" in a story, but the Russians are treated like their the literal spawn of Satan.
    3. Over Realism. Like I said, this game would work much better if it wasn't COD. Call of Duty has always been a super fast paced run-and-gun shooter. This game forces you to be very tactical, as even on regular difficulty, you die in like 3 shots.

    In Terms of Multiplayer, I still really like the gameplay, but the balancing, or lack there of, destroys any level of fun I might have. The maps are the worst part. They promote camping on another level, especially on any game mode besides TDM.    … Expand

    In my eyes the campaign of CoD MW is the second best capaign of all CoDs.

    But all in all the complete multiplayer is great its mostly the community which is tilting.

    But to the story.
    Not all Russians are bad it is just one high-ranked person who leads HIS "army". Within the story if you listen to everything and watch all the cutscenes you will see that the aremicans are bad aswell. They keep secrets and doesn't want to cooperate in killing an russian hgih-ranked person.

    If you insistence on the history of syria don't do this.
    The story is fictional. They needed a story for the game and every MW had russians as bad guys so why not continue?
    If germans are the bad ones in games everyone likes it because of the bad bad nazis but if its any other country everyone cries.
    most of the critics here on this site are non-sense bc its about russiaphobic and against activision/treyarc it's not about the game itself what it should be.    … Expand

    The game is good, but there are still many things to be improved. The map design is poor, there are few maps to play with. and it takes a long time to aim with the sniper. special ops is very hard

    This is not call of duty, this is some kind of cross between realism, which is played very slowly, maps are worthless, bugs are not fixed from the beta test..

Sometimes mission a do feel a little shirt but that isn't such a big issue when the game is well made. Again it's a fictional story. The multiplayer is different. The guns feel good and amazing to play with. Custom classes can be made really well to fit your play style well. Time to kill is faster. Cross play is a thing and never before seen player numbers and map sizes in a call of duty game. However, footsteps are really loud in this game. No red dots appear on the minimap when someone shoots. Maps sizes are on the bigger end and people do tend to camp a lot in this game. Maps aren't the best too. Haven't really invested time in the special ops section.… Expand

    **I would like to preface this with an announcement to anybody interested in buying this game specifically should not be reading the user reviews. They are untrue and cancerous.**

    My review will be as unbiased as possible. I'm not a call of duty fanboy and truthfully I swore off buying these games years ago when the company started pumping out monetized diarrhea every single year, however    **I would like to preface this with an announcement to anybody interested in buying this game specifically should not be reading the user reviews. They are untrue and cancerous.**

    My review will be as unbiased as possible.
    I'm not a call of duty fanboy and truthfully I swore off buying these games years ago when the company started pumping out monetized diarrhea every single year, however a current user score of 3.3 is absolutely not fair to anyone and the only people that it hurts is the players. Now let's talk about the graphics and sounds:
    Absolutely superb. I play on a PS4 pro and let me just say that these graphics are unlike any other call of duty game to date. It's almost photo-realistic. The sound for everything is done extremely well and explosions and gunfire are loud and booming. The explosions looks sweet as well. Just throw a grenade and you'll see what I mean. The dev team should be proud of their work. The campaign, though very very short sitting around five hours, is done well and is fun and interesting. But there is nothing groundbreaking here. It's a far cry from the original MW, but still decent for a soft reboot of the series. However, it still leaves much to be desired and thus will be shown in the overall score.

    Now to the meat and potatoes, what most people buy CoD for. The Online. We will start off with my opinion then do the rest in a pros and cons list. Online, in my honest opinion is great. I haven't had any lag issues or any connectivity problems since I bought the game day 1. Some game modes are familiar, such as TDM, Domination, Search and Destroy, and Headquarters. There is a new addition by the name Cyber Atack and Ground War, a huge 64 player warzone
    Online as a whole is a treat to play and look at. I would like to compare this to Battlefield. This game is more of a War Simulation. Which I personally love. They have huge maps with vehicles and tons of things going on at all times. Sniping is actually and finally viable in Call of Duty again! It's crazy, it's chaotic, and it's as close to real war as I would ever want to get. Oh and did I forget to mention it's cross platform? Yes. No need to go buy an Xbox or PC or have your friends convert to your system of choice anymore!! Log in with an Activision ID and add your friends IDs and have fun gaming with everyone else! Now don't get me wrong, it isn't all sunflowers and daisies. It's hard. Like really really hard and there are, of course, still campers waiting in the shadows to kill you as soon as you come close. There are some matchmaking issues where you will get into a match where everyone else is way higher level than you. And even light spawn issues, where you may spawn right next to an enemy who guns you down as soon as you load in, this is also goes both ways. Sometimes you get lucky and get a free kill. Overall though there is far less issues than everyone is crying about, they still need patched however. Pros:
    -CROSS PLATFORM!!!!
    - Familiar and new game modes with even more to come
    -Big 64 player ground war more is amazing
    - No loot crates or stat changing P2W garbage
    - True skill based multiplayer
    - Licensed firearms(Finally no more made up laser guns) -Kill streaks are strong. They can turn the tides of battles instead of just being for someone to rack up huge kill counts. (this one may be subjective) Cons:
    - Multiplayer bugs need fixed
    - No one enjoys campers
    - No slasher game mode (Ok, don't count this one, but I loved it in the original MW)

    The game isn't perfect, But it definitely is worth buying. I can't recommend this game enough. In fact, I have been telling all my friends and co-workers to get it, because it is so good and we can play online together no matter what system they have.    … Expand

    This game does not deserve a 10 but I’m giving the game one to offset the people getting offended. I get people are tired of the old Russian is bad and America is good narrative but the missions in the campaign have been some of the best ones in a long time and the multiplayer is pretty good. If I did not have to offset those people review bombing I would give this game a 8/10.

    While not the greatest entry in the Call of Duty series. It does have a great narrative that sets it up for another trilogy.

    Which by the way things are going, is probably going to be shot down quite quickly. It's quite unfortunate that missions such as no Russian get quickly overlooked. While this game doesnt paint anyone like a hero, but more so victims of their government/superiors.    While not the greatest entry in the Call of Duty series.

    Good game sums up what is the Russian army and what war crimes they have committed. All these crying comments with 0 point ratings show that the sensitive truth has been touched. Crimea, Donbas, Luhansk, Syria, Abkhazia, Ossetia. There's no declared war against Ukraine, Georgia or Syria because Russian soldiers don't fight fair, they are cheaters, liars, and cowards.

    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.
