You will be punished in multiplayer as long as you play well (by getting better opponents) that at some point you no longer have a chance to complete your tasks, you should think that would work the other way too, but ass lick nothing! 2. Which incest contaminated piece of **** thought it would be a good idea to put a ****ty Riot shield in the game? Directly fire my opinion. 3. the in game shop is a single catastrophe, there are only bundles to buy where you don't want to get 90%, and you have to be lucky that the bundles you might want to have at all on this day or at all again in the shop are the offer of dirt where you can waste your money changes every **** day.

    The story was surprisingly decent. Serves as a nice reboot of the MW series and the plot has some good teases/references to the trilogy. The main antagonist could've been developed further. They didn't feel like a proper villain as they weren't really explored into with much depth. They're evil but the game doesn't really elaborate further. It also has a very anti-Russian sort of feeling.

    In its purest form, one policy and propaganda in the most perverted sense of the authors. In terms of gameplay, nothing has moved since 2007 or even earlier. Sadly, they rolled down the toilet.

    The game feels fundamentally broken. While I have 13 days played and feel like it has a lot of potential... Ultimately I feel punished for being a skilled player with their match making system, when coupled with lag issues 50% of the time games are unplayable..... Overall it feels broken and the more I play the more tedious it becomes.... I haven't experienced this before with any other COD

    No open world or character enhancement **** just the straightforward action. This kind of games has become rare nowadays. Some cons comes comes from the clear opinions of world politics which should be more fact based. Someone could say this as propaganda.

    Spec Ops is a massive step back from Modern Warfare 3. Though they have attempted to re-integrate stuff like the stars rating system the mode is still flawed. The ones in MW3 were based around the story and served a nice tight packages of action and challenge. The MW2019 spec ops is large open areas filled with enemies that just make the mode a slog to get through and will leave most players board. The only survival mode is a 15 minute long map that is known to glitch at the end. Overall Spec Ops is a major step back.

    Multiplayer is rather enjoyable. There is a lack of funnel maps and the mode has gone away from the futuristic lasers and jet packs. Recent maps like Shoothouse have shown just how good this games multiplayer can be.

    The single player is interesting from a gameplay perspective but the story is forgettable as are the characters. Whereas in something like Black Ops 2 where your choices would effect the story and not end it, here they just end the game. Open a door to the terrorists and you get a bullet in the head followed by a checkpoint reset. In Blops 2 when given the choice to shoot a friendly or the enemy your choice would effect which would live and how the story would continue. Honestly this story has no balls and it's attempts at being edgy and shocking fall flat. I found myself laughing at how try hard it was.

    Overall I find that this game is meh at best. The spec ops is a flop, multiplayer is pretty good, and the singleplayer is meh.

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.    … Expand

    In their effort to cater to newer players, infinity ward has effectively ruined what could’ve been a great game. Gameplay has no notion of skill as TTK is far too fast. Terrible weapon balance, visibility and SSBM hit the nail in this games coffin. This game sucks!

    So we are going to recreate real war crimes in the context of the real world, and then assign blame to the Russians about it?

Отвратительный, проходной, пропагандонский сюжет на 6 часов от которого вообще нет смысла. Правды ради некоторое отражение реальности есть, если вспомнить историю про ЧВК "Вагнер" и то как они жестоко расправились с каким то Сирийским пареньком то сюжет кажется не таким уж и бредовым.

    Games should help people to remove barriers between countries and nations. Instead of that CoD: MW makes new ones. It is the great example of biased attitude to the Russian. The developers show lack of creativity and their narrow minded view on others nations.

    As a long time CoD player I can safely say this game is a solid 2 steps backwards when it comes to the multiplayer. The spawns are just terrible. You will be locked down to 1 area on the map while 80% of the map is completely free and open. You will find yourself more often than not dying at spawn before your character is even able to pull their weapon out to shoot back. Which consideringAs a long time CoD player I can safely say this game is a solid 2 steps backwards when it comes to the multiplayer. The spawns are just terrible. You will be locked down to 1 area on the map while 80% of the map is completely free and open. You will find yourself more often than not dying at spawn before your character is even able to pull their weapon out to shoot back. Which considering how empty the rest of the map is, is just ridiculous.

    Next problem is the size of the maps. They are far too small. Bringing back maps such as shipment and having maps like shoothouse really make me wonder if they have tested the game themselves before including it. It takes the horrible spawns that the game already has on larger maps and cranks it up to 11.

    Ground War: This mode is much like the Battlefield series Conquest mode with large maps and a domination style gameplay. But, this mode suffers terribly from lack of map variety to extremely poor servers than can not handle such "large" battles.

    Gun mounting. Camping is already a big enough problem in this game but including gun mounting has only made it all that much worse as it encourages players to mount up and sit in 1 spot while having more of themself in cover.

    The Battle Pass. This has to be the most ridiculous cash grab I have seen in a hot minute. It is a complete waste of your money and the CONSTANT push for players to use the store to buy overpriced and pointless items is just annoying and should not be included.

    There are far too many game modes too. Not counting the Coop mode which feels completely forgotten already which I know will just cause problems down the line. Having Normal and Hardcore spit is normal and makes sense and modes like 10v10. But all these other little modes are just unnecessary and split the playerbase.

    The reason I give this a 3 though instead of a 1 which i believe it deserves is the loadout system. There is a lot of variety there and bringing in systems from previous games as a perk here such as Point Streak instead of Killstreak. The graphics are excellent, controls well on both PC and console and the crossplay inclusion is a very nice one. Campaign was the best I have seen in a CoD game in years.

    But the game has too many frustrating problems that makes the overall experience not a fun one at all. I would not recommend this game at all but instead a previous title in the series Black Ops 2. It had larger maps, fixed spawns and fun gun play. A real boots on the ground experience.

    Don't buy this. It a big step back in the series in regards to it's multiplayer and I can not in any way recommend this. It is a poorly made cash grab that pushes microtransations on you constantly after already paying $90 for the base game.    … Expand

    Some reflections:
    - New MW maps are not as characteristic as the old ones - they lack characteristic places, they are just unremarkeble. For example - Crash has got the wrecked heli in the center of the map; Crossfire is the characteristic street with many hideouts; Terminal or Highrise from MW2 were very oriiginal. Each map was diffrent. In MW 2019 maps are quite similar. We need differentiation and specific map constructions, not just some buildings and lanes.
    - Hardcore mode is a bit hidden in the game modes menu. It is easier to play Realism Mode, that is not better at all. Fewer people play HC mode, because it's hard to find it. I think that Realism should be more hidden and the HC rather on the top!
    - There could be the supply drops for points earned in the game - a nice incentive to collect points for which you can buy them. Something is missing. That would be really encourage.
    - Unlocking weapon accessories is too fast. It's hard to appreciate the time and effort in the game. We had to spend quite a few hours in Battlefield game to unlock another reflector sight.

    Pros:
    + Shooting mechanics are great, new animations also
    + Operators, guns, perks, killstreaks - just old good COD
    + Edgy weapon customization
    + Old COD maps - Crash and Vacant are best for now! I am waiting for more classic maps
    + Music is great! Similar to all new military movies and even John Wick soundtrack.

    I know this is just the Season One and a lot can change in the future. Personally, I'm waiting for new maps. It would be nice to see the FN2000 from MW2, some Sig Sauer weapons, HK UMP...

    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.
