    Call of duty modern warfare is a beautifully made game with amazing graphics on both consoles and PCs. It controls really smoothly. Some guns do need some buffs. I really enjoy the shotgun meta as it encourages close up battles. Snipers are actually decent compared to the previous games where enemies would jump really high making sniping harder.

It’s a shame that others mock the campaign and giving it 0s, because the game doesn’t match with the history and that the game is shames Russia. They don’t talk about the gameplay, or that they made a huge improvement by making the battle Royale free, something every COD fan would never expect. It seems like a lot of effort came into this game and it shows in the online and battle Royale mode.… Expand

    Loving the game sl much until a week ago ( April 6th) , the game has been fulfilled with cheaters either in multiplayer and WarZone which are ruinning the game experience. Neither Activision nor Infinity Ward are taking measures to solve this.

    I ended up quitting

    Best Call of Duty game since Black Ops 2. Amazing gunplay, ultra-realistic graphics and one of the most important things about multiplayer, amazing map design. I'm not the biggest fan of the campaign as I've always been a multiplayer first gamer but after playing through around 70% of it, I'd say its alright (But not perfect).

    This call of duty is certainly reminiscent of the 2007 Call of Duty, which i have no problem with. But what I do have a problem with is how people are getting offended over russians being presented as bad guys whilst forgetting that Modern Warfare 1, 2 and 3 did the exact same. These people are honestly idiotic for rating the ENTIRE game 0 just because of one thing from the campaign.    … Expand

    At first the game was good, until hackers came and took the whole game and just started cheating so wackkkk, they need to add some sort of checking for hackers cuz the game sucks now, constant lagging, it’s no fun. Back to battlefield I guess. If you want to hack just go to ps3 and play cod waw or modern wafare three.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Campaign is inaccurate and is blaming Russia on war crimes that the US did (Highway Of Death). Pure US propaganda and very Russophobic. Shame on you, infinity ward. Regarding the campaign, I think they added some of the missions for shock value. Take how they have dead children in the campaign and hanging bodies. I honestly think that they want to make something like ‘No Russian’ but worse. I don’t know why. Spec ops is utterly terrible. After I finished the half ass campaign, I decided to embark on the spec ops mode. I was happy to play then when I realised that they had FOUR missions. Anyways, I then played through the missions to them realise that they are impossible to finish. And when I mean impossible, I mean 200 veteran bots rushing you and spraying at you and your team. It’s honestly broken and boring compared to other games. Multiplayer is actually pretty decent, although some scorestreaks are overpowered and should be nerfed/ removed. But honestly they need to nerf the 725, too overpowered.

    Warzone is a really fun and challenging game mode, I feel like it revived the game a little bit and gave some COD fans a reason to play. The Gulag is very fair and gives people another chance at winning the match. Overall I would give it a 6/10. If you’re a single player type of person, I strongly recommend buying a different title all together. This game is definitely not for you.    … Expand

    In spite of a stupid plot and absence of announced "grey moral", I enjoyed this game. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is one of the best games of the whole Call of Duty series. Let's compare it with other CoD games in this decade:
    BO4: sorry, but no campaign - no Call of Duty
    WW2: miserable parody on World at War IW: the only good thing is a soundtrack BO3: no words, it was VERY BAD!

    Ghosts: not really bad, but no more
    BO2, MW3, BO: only these old parts are far more better because of a good plot, charismatic and favourite characters where everyone had his own motivation which you could understand. BO itself has the best plot among all CoDs.
    I don't want to compare this game with MW2, Waw and MW1 because they're classic and could not be compared with a new generation game, but for me MW2 is the best CoD ever.
    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a high-quality modern FPS without any futuristic **** Shooting here is pleasanty from any kind of weapon. The gameplay itself is dynamic and interesting. What is good - it's not the same in all missions and gives you time to rest from running and shooting and sometimes offers you different QTEs which I was missing. Graphic is stunning and realistic, pleasure for eyes. Characters are not stupid dummies who just open mouth during cutscenes - thanks for talented actors (Barry Sloane, Elliot Knight, Chad Michael Collins, Claudia Doumit and Konstantin Lavysh). Great soundtrack that gives me goosebumps - good work by Sarah Schachner.
    You can say anything, but this new part of Call of Duty deserves to be played. I always buy a new CoD only for campaign and this is the first campaigh for many years which I'll remember.    … Expand

    I expected Spec Ops to be split screen like modern warfare two. It's very annoying that multiplayer is but spec ops isn't or that there isn't any split screen offline playability.

    Infinity Ward tuvo la difícil tarea de recrear la saga más importante de la historia de Call of duty, Modern Warfare, y, sinceramente, me gusta. La historia es increíble, interesante y nostálgica, hablando gráficamente, me saco el sombrero por el excelente trabajo que hizo Infinity Ward.

    Lo negativo de este juego es lo ABSURDO y RIDÍCULO que es el almacenamiento que tiene el juego (176GB), también, para agregar, es que el juego viene separado del multijugador y de los Spec Ops, en que sentido, tienes que descargar por un lado la campaña, por otro lado el multijugador y, por último, los Spec Ops.
    Los parches que recibe el juego también son exagerados (van desde los 4 hasta los 12GB), para poner un ejemplo, MGSV: Definitive Experience (abarca tanto Metal Gear Solid V como Ground Zeroes) salió en 2016 y hasta el día de hoy tuvo unas 4 actualizaciones de 100MB, por lo que el juego base más las actualizaciones pesan 40GB. Modern Warfare, con tan solo 3 temporadas, pesa 70GB.
    Pero bueno, para hacer un reinicio de la saga, van por buen camino, pero me encantaría ver a futuro una disminución ENORME tanto de las actualizaciones como el juego en sí    … Expand

Headglitches, safe spaces, doors, corners and recharging claymores are only some of the annoying mechanics in this game. And on top of that the sbmm ruins the already limited fun for old-school cod players or any casual player that just wants to run and gun like in the old days. On a certain skill lvl, every round plays exactly the same. Nobody moving, everybody camping. Especially in free for fall, most of the games end with the timelemit, the final score at the end being 10-15 out of 30 needed kills for victory (after 10mins)..
    No real perk or weapon variety, overloaded and badly designed maps that only benefit a slow and defensive play style as well as hackers occurring every 3-4 rounds in certain game modes only 6 months after release.
    In total even though the devs and publishers wanted to attract battlefield or rainbow six players, this game designed by the new IW mostly feels like an even worse Update of Cod Ghosts with Captain Price of Modern warfare of the original IW on the cover.
    Overall a total disappointment, only positives imo are graphics and sound (when it's not bugging)    … Expand

Also there is a perk called restock which makes your lethals regenerate after 30 seconds which causes a lot of players to camp with shotguns and claymores endlessly. The Spawn Locations are awful. The Special Ops is very generic and forgettable. Oh and lastly the campaign is okay I guess but it fails to surpass the previous modern warfare games.

Every time I log in, theres an update that requires a restart... Why cant the game update automatically overnight like all the rest of the games I have installed?? This is absolutely ridiculous. They need to fix the update delivery system asap. Its appalling and embarrassing considering other online games manage updates 10x better.

    Aside from the absurd amount of updates, what happened to the leveling system? Why cant we prestige like previous games and receive a new badass prestige rank icon to showoff?? There was NOTHING wrong with that system! It gave us. sense of accomplishment. i felt like a badass when I finally reached prestige 8,9,10 so on and so forth. There is no sense of accomplishment if you reach 150 and get dropped to 50 after the season is over or even worse, drop to level 1 because of the stupid leveling glitch that they still havent fixed. It discourages you from playing!!!

    Speaking of seasons and battle passes.... This whole battle pass thing is the worst thing to grace this industry. Its grotesque, unnecessary, and down right scummy. Its because of this battle pass that leveling your rank is a complete crap shoot. All this to please the publishing gods and satisfy their greedy pockets. Its disgusting the amount of money Activision makes and still have the audacity to ask for more.

    Ways to improve the game:
    1. Deliver updates behind the scenes aka overnight.
    2. Bring back the prestiging leveling system.
    3. If you are going to have a battle pass, do not let the leveling rank suffer. Bring back prestiging as an independent leveling system for those that do not want to buy/participate in the battle pass and an independent leveling system exclusive for battle pass members. Gameplay accomplishments and experience will apply to either player prestige or both systems depending if the player purchased the battle pass.

    There, I fixed three glaring issues with this game and it only took me several minutes. Will it happen? Absolutely not but I needed a place to rant and let my frustrations out.

    Other those things, the campaign is very good. The cinematic cutscenes are so well done and the characters are so incredible lifelike. The team really nailed the core atmosphere of Modern Warfare and really pushed it to the limits. Game play is solid also. The shooting mechanics have always been incredible and this game is no exception. Spec ops on the other hand is incredible lack luster. There arent that many missions and the ones available are boring and leave a lot to be desired. After experiencing the Campaign, you would expect the same level of story telling and action but you dont get any of that in Spec Ops. This is a playlist that can be removed and most the players wouldnt care.

    Thats it for my review. i give this game a generous 6/10.    … Expand

    Gameplay is generally pretty good. But the game is plagued by regular, over-sized patches. To add insult to injury, the patching servers have been faulty for weeks (Meaning if you do get to download the patch, it is incredibly slow). And there seems to be no sign of these servers being repaired anytime soon. Good game / Bad infrastructure and support. I'd give it a miss.

    I mean im not saying that having bad graphics make the game bad but this kind of bugged graphics is generating a visual fatigue that makes the game completely unplayable unless you are a frickin' masochist.

    Textures aren't compressed too which causes the dynamic texture system to make textures look like play-doh sometimes.

    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.
