    THE BEST CALL OF DUTY TO DATE.

    a masterpiece campaign, but a little bit too short. Still, it was a worthy ride all along!
    multiplayer and spec ops are amazing! Finally COD gets a crossplay feature!

    9/10 for me! Well done Infinity Ward. keep it up!

    se nota el nuevo motor, lo jugué tanto en ps4 slim, ps4 pro, xbox one x y e de decir que en ps4 slim se ve bastante bien aunque nada sobre saliente, en ps4 pro se ve muy muy bien y en xbox one x se ve hermoso, sorprendente, el software nuevo de balística se nota, le da un realismo extra a cada arma, las nuevas animaciones y el nuevo sistema de negocios es algo que se agradece, me parecese nota el nuevo motor, lo jugué tanto en ps4 slim, ps4 pro, xbox one x y e de decir que en ps4 slim se ve bastante bien aunque nada sobre saliente, en ps4 pro se ve muy muy bien y en xbox one x se ve hermoso, sorprendente, el software nuevo de balística se nota, le da un realismo extra a cada arma, las nuevas animaciones y el nuevo sistema de negocios es algo que se agradece, me parece perfecto que las actualizaciones de armas y mapas sean gratuitas, que eliminaran el seasons pass es algo que se agradece, el crossplay también es algo que se agradece, realmente con este juego de verdad se sintió un verdadero avance en la saga, el regreso de la campaña también es algo de lo que se agradece, la campaña cortita pero cumplidora.

    Im 5 missions into the campaign, the first and second London missions are fantastic. As someone from the UK, and have been to London multiple times, I really felt immersed, and with spoiling as little as possible- Captain Price and the dude with the bomb, what the dude was saying, brilliant stuff.

    Town house mission was as good as I expected, intense, when youre trying to play it without

    Town house mission was as good as I expected, intense, when youre trying to play it without taking out innocents, again immersive.

    The lighting is better than it ever has been, both in cutscenes and in gameplay, definitely the best looking COD. The sound design too might be some of the best I have heard in a game period.

    Triggered Russians aside. The game looks amazing and plays extremely well. Lots to do and unlock in the multiplayer and a promising future ahead for added content.

    Crossplay works, and it works just brilliant! Finally, I'm able to play mouse/keyboard on ps4 with my fellas who play on the PC. The gameplay feels refreshed, I love it. The campaign is quite good as well, russians are slightly hyperbolized, but it fully represents their nature. It was always difficult for them to face the truth.

    Solid 9/10.

    Hands down the best COD experience since the original MW.

    Gripping campaign, superb multiplayer and now with the addition of Warzone, this game is gonna keep entertaining for years to come.

    This is the first Call Of Duty game i've bought since Black Ops 1 and I was not disappointed. Brings back memories of the original Modern Warfare games and thankfully got away from all that futuristic power crap.

    It's been over two months since it came out and I still play it almost every night with my friends.

    The best COD multiplayer since MW2, I thoughouly enjoy the final product, and want to support this game for it's lack of microtransactions and loot boxes. (Looking at you BO4). If you've been waiting for the bs to go away before buying back in, now's the time.

After playing this game for a while and seeing how they patched and improved the game with every update I can safely say that this is a great game with lots of fun.

The multiplayer is now the best CoD multiplayer ever. No game can compare to how much fun this game is. The only issue I can think of is that there are alot of microtransactions and activision should really take it a bit easy. Some of the costumes and the operators should be unlockable not paid for.

    This is one of the best COD's since Black Ops 2. Mainly because of the toxicity within the community. Reminds me of the good old days.

    Modern Warfare (2019) is the best COD I’ve played since BO2 (2012). I would give this game a 10/10 for certain but with most of the maps right now feeling very disorganized & there still more to be added to the game it’s hard to give it a full 10/10 praise when the game is still technically being worked on! However, everything else I’ve have played in the game I’ve truly have enjoyed.Modern Warfare (2019) is the best COD I’ve played since BO2 (2012).

    The game is the best. I explain, beautiful graphics, realistic injuries, beautiful videos, cool story, fighting 32 to 32. But minus 1 point for lags when watching videos. And so the game is the best

    finally!! this new take on call of duty made me come back to the series, its darker, with a slower pace, just amazing, you can review bomb all you want, it's not going to change what the game really is

    Very addicting and motivating weapon leveling/unlocking/customization system. Even the season pass has motivating rewards such as XP boosters. Should be supported. Spent already 15 hours only in team deathmatch.

    Campaign very brutal but very cinematic and gameplay well composed.

    Anti Russian Propaganda? Yeah no.

    Not sure why anyone would play this game and then decide, you know what I dont like Russia, they suck! It's a piece of fiction and not something to base your opinions of Russia on and I think most people realise this. The review bombing is not a surprise. Another example of something getting blow out of proportion and then people just following the crowd.

Another example of something getting blow out of proportion and then people just following the crowd. I played through the whole campaign and not once did I even think this would cause any sort of controversy. Someone has to be the bad guy and unfortunately for Russians it's easy for us in the western world to portray them as that because of Russias track record. It's a little lazy but again it's a piece of fiction . Just to clarify I am neither an American or a Russian.

    Не 10 потому что короткая сюжетная кампания (у меня ушло чуть более 6 часов на прохождение), очень порадовали графика и физика стрельбы, видно хорошо проделанную работу, сюжет типичный для серии но подан красиво.

Please ignore all the sensitive journalists crying about excess realism and chemical weapons, etc. as their unasked-for moral hypoocrisy and hamfisted sermonizing commentary knows no bounds. And third, the gameplay + multiplayer? Buttery smooth, whip-quick, with a great feel to the weapons and loads of modes. Expand

    Infinity ward did such a good job, superb graphics, awesome single player and a vast and smooth multiplayer, also spec ops is a fun third game mode.

    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.
