    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Activision can make a wonderful games, but game puts us in the centre of Russian violence. And I think that it's incorrect to show Russian People as murderers and dangerous terrorists. I know that this is just a game but it's unpleasent for me to see that lie. Why don't you make games in which the main evil will be terrorist from USA or europian countries, that will be very funny(sarcasm)… Expand

    Just love this game. It has a incredible and shocking campaign and the best multiplayer that I've seen in a Call of Duty since Black Ops 2.

    The only things that I don't like is the map design in general (the only map that I really like is Shoot House), and the coop Special Ops.

    Call of Duty? This one is more like Camp of Duty. Bring your tents because the multiplayer is full of players that think their life is actually on the line. Campaign is fantastic. Spec-ops is bad, very bad. Warzone is good as long as you dont mind getting annihilated by streamers.

    This is my favorite Call of Duty game that has released since the original Black Ops.
    It's a throwback to COD:4 and the original Modern Warfare.

    However. Activision has ruined this game by trying to make it seem as though it never existed.
    It has been absorbed by Warzone, and that's a huge travesty because I've never really enjoyed Warzone. It's not what Call of Duty is meant to be.
    But they did it for the money, because they decided it's better to be Fortnite than themselves.

    So 1/10 is the score I'm giving it, to let everyone know that Activision killed this game.
    I may never buy another Call of Duty because of these terrible business practices.    … Expand

SBMM is a heated topic in the gaming community rather it helps noobs or makes the game unenjoyable for most players. But skill-based match-making needs to go to make the multiplayer fun, but trying to get the devs to remove it is like trying to get a vampire to eat garlic. I realized they are being very shady about this on Twitter. Overall my review of this game is somewhat decent.… Expand

    The price ... this is priced far too high for its age and given the fact its been essentially abandoned in favor of black ops.

    Warzone is not something I play but I have to download it and install all updates for it.

    The updates for this game are enraging there is no other word for it, the numerous amount of times I have finished work opened up battle net wanting a quick game after a hard day only to be met with a update which will take so long to download you wont be playing till the next day at the very least is unforgivable in terms of updates.

    I have had numerous occasions after installing 190GB game where I have had to download 100+gb updates, the last one was 3 days ago for a 5 GB update which took most of my evening to download to yesterdays 32 GB update which is still downloading.

    The worst part is none of these updates are for multiplayer they are for warzone which I don't play or for black ops crap which I don't own.

    Also the battle pass is now completely defunk for MW because no rewards are for MW they are all for warzone which is FREE and black ops which I don't own ... so I paid £50 for a game I no longer gett any content updates for but free warzone which I don't even play gets updates?

    This is the first COD game I bought since early 2000's and will be the last this kind of crap is completely unforgivable and enraging when all I want to do is relax and shoot people in the face.    … Expand

    I am going to assess this game in 10 different categories and assign a score for each. This review is for PC user and please note, the console version is a completely different game and requires it's own review. the two versions are not comparable and I cannot emphasize this enough the PC and console version are inherently different video games. The categories are Visuals, Audios,I am going to assess this game in 10 different categories and assign a score for each. This review is for PC user and please note, the console version is a completely different game and requires it's own review. the two versions are not comparable and I cannot emphasize this enough the PC and console version are inherently different video games. The categories are Visuals, Audios, Interface, Single player story, Coop, Multiplayer, community, price, microtransactions and support:

    Visuals: this is perhaps one of the best looking call of duties of all time. everything looks good and you have a great amount of control over the settings. I have managed to make this game look amazing with minimal performance penalty on anything from a 1080 to a 3070. Here the game gets a full 10/10 for graphics;(10/10);

    Audios: the game has excellent sound design. this is not as good as what frostbite engine has to offer. gun sounds all sound dampened and lack base, how ever voice acting, sound effects and the weapons sounds all sound really good. this is for sure an above average sound design and I will give it a (9/10);

    interfaces. it is bad, they have put in minimal effort, party system is bad, placement of buttons are bad, there are very few cautionary interfaces in places that matter and and far too many in places that are not as important. if you are in loadout menus and your squad leader do anything you are pulled out. the main screen of your character walking endlessly is a roll of a dice! in each patch new bugs get introduced. anything from half of your screen glowing to your character not loading at all. this is so bad that I am going to assume they went out of their way to screw this up and I am going t ogive them a 0/10, inexcusable! (0/10);

    Single player story: the game is ok, I actually had a lot of fun playing it until it got to the blatant racism, torture, and abuse of children. in older call of duty games they used to be more subtle, this is just poor writing, there are a million ways to portray someone as bad, this was just unimaginative. that being said I had fun playing the single player. I am giving it a (8/10);

    Coop: I was going to give this section a 10/10 but I am instead giving it a 0/10 here is why; coop was good. it had a healthy community, no toxicity, fantastic implementation of crossplay and an amazing story line to back it up. it was fun to play and easy to ear experience points in. However, they are trying to burry it, the servers have become non-responsive and do not put you in matches anymore, menus are broken and riddled with bugs and they keep getting worse in each patch. if Activision does not care about this portion of their game, I am not going to give them any points. this is the only part of this game that worth the price tag and they don't want to maintain it. (0/10);

    Multiplayer: On PC it is bad, does not worth your time, bad net code laggy buggy and broken with terrible match making. incredibly toxic community filled with racism, sexism and filth. children screaming things that are absolutely inexcusable. filled with cheaters and you have no way of reporting verbal abuse, bullying racism and sexism. on PC it is a pile of garbage unless y7ou are playing a custom match with a group of people you know, but at that point you and your friends can literally play anything else. (0/10);

    Community: Single player does not have a community, coop has an excellent respectful community but as we established if Activision does not care I am not giving them points for it and the multiplayer is garbage. I am going to give it a -5 points. I feel half of my maximum amount of happiness, less happy when I engage with this community; (-5/10);

    Price: there are better indie games that cost less and do not have microtransactions. this is a $15 game that is being marketed as a $70 title. I am giving this a (2/10);

    Microtransactions: they are not cosmetic, those skins yield in-game advantages, some skins are harder to see in game, some weapon tracers and effects (like the pixel one) block your view and give the shooter an advantage. some kill animation (floaty skulls etc) actually block your vision. dark outfits like rose's dry suit in a shadow make her practically invisible. This game is effectively pay to win. (0/10);

    Support: The support sometimes shows some surprising acts of competence that is truly out of character for Activision developers. but 70% of the time they are useless incompetent people providing **** support. Sometimes the game refuses to load and you have to redownload a 200 GB game ... hope your internet does not have a data cap! (3/10);

    so averaging all the scores it is a 2.7 out of 10. I round it up just incase I am being to harsh.    … Expand

    Modern Warfare is the best Call of Duty ever created. Made in 2019, it still manages to outperform Cold War and Vanguard in every possible aspect. Graphics? Yep.

There are countless guns in MW, but yet all of them manage to be meta in some way. There are so many options, but they are all equally powerful. There's no "overpowered gun" or "trash gun" because the guns have been masterfully designed so that someone's opinion of the best gun might be another's worst gun. This game has it all. Although it got off to a rocky start at launch, IW has managed to turn a mediocre game into a masterpiece.… 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.
