    The campaign is pretty good, and in many ways feels like actual modern combat. No hit-markers, realistic recoil and ballistics, etc. The movement seems very sluggish and weighted at all times; sometimes it feels realistic, other times it feels like you're being unnecessarily constrained.

No hit-markers, realistic recoil and ballistics, etc. The movement seems very sluggish and weighted at all times; sometimes it feels realistic, other times it feels like you're being unnecessarily constrained. There are no markers over enemies etc. which means that you need to pay attention to what you're doing. Good so far.

    But as usual, the COD franchise is stuck in the past with its "on rails" storytelling and gameplay, some of which can be at times fairly good. There are a few missions that really shine, and make you feel like you're really in a modern combat situation. However, the Hometown mission is one of the worst pieces of gaming I've ever played. If I had the choice between having to play that mission again, and never playing another game, it would be the end of my gaming career. It's indescribably awful, from the ridiculously unreal movement, to the set-piece style action, it's a failure on nearly every level. Points for the story, which did give me pause to consider the plight of those concerned. There are much better ways to get that point across though, and being taken out of the body of a modern day soldier and thrown into the perspective of a seven year old girl is not only incredibly frustrating, but also insulting. I don't need forced perspective to bottle-feed me morality, thanks. More importantly, I absolutely despise the "you can do it any way you want, as long as it's in this exact way" kind of gaming. Why not give players tools, and let them figure out how best to solve a specific problem? It makes for much more dynamic gameplay, which in turn almost necessarily means more fun. Dying endlessly until you figure out the ONE WAY the developers want you to complete an objective (while being given nearly no clues as to how it must specifically be done) makes for a terrible game. There are flashes of brilliance, but overall the campaign feels like you're a dog, and you're futilely straining your neck as someone tries to rub your nose in ****.    … Expand

    A very nasty feeling after this game. It is especially amazing how much the developer hates Russian people. In the future I have no desire to buy games from these developers. P.S. I urge people !!! return the money for this game back to the developers, it’s better to buy yourself something tasty, or go to some movie, take a walk with your family. Have a nice day.

    El multijugador es muy malo, los mapas son muy grandes y la gente apenas se mueve de las casas y los rincones. A dejado de ser un Call of Duty, parece mas un Battlefield. Ya no hay frenetismo que gustaba ahora solo hay que jugar estático, en general, es mejor ahorrarse el dinero

    Modern warfare makes great strides in terms of the gun play and map design. Too bad there are so many bugs that the game is unplayable. This game launched with constant freezes (every 2 min for 10 sec) which makes playing extremely frustrating. Every other game, the game will crash. Challenges do not track, graphical glitches make it impossible to see your character and weapons.

I was playing the campaign, which is great, almost finished the story and in the last upgrade, I lose it all. Get frustrated and try to play multiplayer and get a crash that closes the game after 10 seconds.

    So this game is like a cool car that you can't drive because it's always in repair. If you want to play this game wait for a couple of months when the developers can address all this mess. I'm trying to get a refund.    … Expand

    Unlike most the people complaining, I don't play the campaign or care. This game is trash for its multiplayer which makes it impossible to rush. The fact that taking one step sounds like a horse stomping is absolutely ridiculous. You can hear people inside buildings 3 buildings over! Then on top that, all the weapons are an insta-kill.

The only way to get more than one kill in a life in this game is to ignore the objective because time to kill and lethal equipment spam is 70% and the other 30% is walking out and dying instantly to a player whose model blends in seamlessly to one of the 10 angles you're exposed to. Every single game mode plays the same and is plagued with awful map design. Literally nothing is done right, as someone who has sunk 4k+ hours into CS:GO, I know what a good map should play like. Weapon balance is terrible and only 1-2 guns are viable out of each class type. Weapon smith system is just a re skinned system and not in depth/endless like promised. Especially when only a select few attachments are actually good. Stun and flash grenades last WAY to long, even with using the perk to reduce effects. The tick-rate of the servers is so bad that I can start shooting an enemy first on my client and end up dying even we use the same weapon and I don't miss. Happens constantly and is enraging. I don't expect this game to keep getting updates for very long to fix the real problems, like all of the other call of duties. They most likely already have all the dlc created and are releasing it on a schedule as Activision does. Cross map noob tubes and grenades ruin pretty much every game yet it's still an integral part of these open maps with no sky boxes. Buy this game if you have low blood pressure and need to raise it, or if you're someone who likes annoying people by using unskilled 1-hit-kill methods since this game has so many of them. Not to mention the story tries to make you feel sympathy for Islamic terrorists, disgusting. Are you an American company or what? The only reason this game gets a 1 is because it doesn't have season pass bull crap. New games seem to get worse and worse, don't know why I even try buying anything from this over worked industry with harsh deadlines to push out unfinished and untested products.… Expand

Not because the gameplay is demanding, but bc a random, unforeseeable, scripted event kills you instantly. (one example, helicopter is appearing out of nothing, you get the warning by your buddies, but die almost instantly). So, don't buy it until you can get it for 5 bucks.

    Average Single Player, awful Multiplayer.

    Map design is extremely poor and encourages camping over movement and flow. Fundamentally, the Call of Duty formula is outdated and unappealing.

    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.
