    The maps are inexcusable. Ruined the entire game. Not even going to talk about how there are guns made for camping either.

    The campaign is amazing. (Aside from plot holes) Same goes for co-op. But the multiplayer is so unbelievably terrible. The map designs are awful. It is also very difficult for new players to have a chance in this game because you are always put against people who are a higher level than you.

    easily a 0/10. the amount of cheaters is increasing from day to day. they announced that u get a notification when a reported cheater gets banned. so far people with 70 frags 360° nocoping seem to be just good at the game. its sad because its a refreshing BR but infinity ward isnt sadly enough able to get rid of cheaters.

    This 4 is not for single-player or Warzone, IMHO nowadays singleplayer is not needed at all. This 4 is for multiplayer.
    Pros:
    1. Really good animation; 2. Pretty cool graphics and not so bad optimization; 3. Good sound and soundtrack; 4. Excellent weapons customization; 5. IW add new guns and maps in game for free; 6. Free Warzone that pretty good; Cons: 1. Pretty bad map

    2. Pretty cool graphics and not so bad optimization;
    3. Good sound and soundtrack;
    4. Excellent weapons customization;
    5. IW add new guns and maps in game for free;
    6. Free Warzone that pretty good;

    Cons:
    1. Pretty bad map design;
    2. Players don't have ability to choose map in 2020. This ability is standart for any shooter for almost 20 years, but Infinity Ward still don't know about it. IW, play any other shooter, even F2P. I suppose this fact proves, that many maps in game is poor, and IW understand - if they gives players ability to choose map, at least half of maps will be absolutely empty.
    3. Poor balance in match. Quite often I play versus or with much more skilled players, than anybody in match. It leads to giant gap between commands, some player can have k/d about 3 or higher (when any other have 1.5 max), that is absolutely unachivable in fair match.
    4. Ruined weapon balance. Some of guns are much weaker, than others and some are much stronger, than others. It leads to situation when some of guns never uses at all. MP5 or MP7 are much stronger, than UZI; M4A1 are much stronger, than SCAR, .357 Snake Shot - is absolutely leader in pistols and so on.
    5. One of the worst spawn system I've ever seen. Best example here is Shipment map. At least 3-4 times in match you will die 1 second after you spawn, because you've spawned in front of SHOOTING enemy. Few times I spawned already dead under enemy vehicle and 3 times I spawned in MY molotov cocktail, that I've throwed before death. How is this even possible? IW haven't played a single match on this map? No play-tests at all?
    6. After almost any patch IW fix 3 bugs and makes 10 new.
    7. Nowadays game requires 187 Gb available space - it's more than 2 GTA V or 2 BF V. Why people still don't have ability to delete singleplayer?

    Why do Russians in this game brutally kill children, people without weapons and poison them with gas for no reason? Russia here is worse than the Nazis. Another game about the brave soldiers of NATO and Russia as a terrorist organization.

You can get even more FPS in games like Battlefield 5 which has much better graphics and physics compared to this poor looking game.

    The game when it comes to campaign and co-op is great and the detail for gun mechanisms and etc is phenomenal but the main problem is the TERRIBLE EXCUSE FOR MULTIPLAYER I've played call of duty since Call of duty 3 (2006) and this is one of the worst multi players I've ever seen since ghosts
    And infinite warfare the spawns are terrible along with the overpowered weapons and camping

    Campagne superbe , mais très courte (4 heures en ultime) , multijoueur blindé de MICRO TRANSACTION , aucun mode zombies (après c'est pas très génant) remplacé par le mode survie qui sert à rien, bref un jeu remplit de campeur également.
    Ne conseille pas sauf le battle royal , mais j'oublié il est gratuit

    The campaign falls flat, with a few highlights amongst a story that fails to build tension or convey the stakes of your actions. None of the antagonist characters are interesting or memorable. The house clearing mission is without a doubt the best mission, but even that mission ends just as it feels like it has begun. I would definitely have preferred a longer average mission length.

The house clearing mission is without a doubt the best mission, but even that mission ends just as it feels like it has begun. I would definitely have preferred a longer average mission length. The graphics impress for sure: some beautiful worlds have been created here, yet each one feels too much like the last. Far fewer memorable moments compared to the original trilogy. I get a sense that this game's campaign tried to take itself a tad too seriously, and just needed to open up a bit. I'm not saying that every mission needs a crazy set piece, but set pieces exist for a reason: they deliver excitement. The multiplayer is held back by boring map design and what feels like a step backwards in the gunplay from prior games. The game tries too hard to detach itself from previous titles, and the fact that they're bringing back previous maps into the game shows that none of the current maps appear to be resonating with the player base. As for spec ops: well, it's a joke. It's a tagged on mode that isn't worth your time. Warzone is a good bit of fun, however as it is a standalone it will not influence the score of this review. Overall, Modern Warfare is definitely a disappointment, however the developers can use this to rebound and create a fantastic new Call of Duty for the next generation. Expand

I wish i had a nitro button 90% of the time. The game modes could benefit from allowing more players on the maps and extending the time. The developers constantly switch up the maps and game modes, and almost always, remove shipment map which is my favorite because its the only map where you can rack up 100+ kills in 1 game, usually has to be domination mode. Please make small maps with maximum number of players so we can be satisfied. The guns and attachments are diverse but there are still many incredible modern guns that are missing in this game. Some of the killstreaks are terrible and useless. Make better killstreaks. Thanks. Expand

    Garbage campaign scenario. Piece of sheet developers and story directors bunch of a-holes. Let's take the real war events that Westerners, NATO and terrorists commit and assign those to Russians. You all from Infinity Ward know you are garbage, and have a happy stinking life because you know deep in your guts that you are liars. Good fps game though, but still, bullsheet campaign scenario.

    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.
