    The developers just decided to accuse the Russians of U.S. Army crimes. Just look at the example of the "highway of death" in the game, which was actually arranged by the Americans in Iraq in 1991, contrary to the prohibitions of the Geneva Convention.

    Do you remember how the developers promised us a revolutionary plot with gray morality where there will be no evil Russians and good Americans, well, they lied. Russians here are worse than nazis, no kidding, this game is just one piece of propaganda with nice gunplay.

    The game tells about a certain Death Highway, where the Russians bombed everyone who tried to escape and leave the war zone.

    You see, there really is such a highway. And the situation with the retreating bombing, too. True, there were not Russians, but Americans. In 1991, the Americans bombed a huge column of retreating soldiers of the Iraqi armed forces (in addition, there were also civilians) who were retreating from Kuwait. Then a big scandal arose over this, since according to the Geneva Convention it is impossible to kill soldiers who do not take part in battles, and even more so it is impossible to kill peaceful ones. The road where the raid was committed, just dubbed the Highway of Death.

    However, the evil in the game are still Russians. As usual. About the war crimes of the Americans - not a word.    … Expand

    I even created a Metacritic account for the review. I apologize for mistakes, sometimes I will use a translator.

    You know, I'm not surprised by the appearance of evil Russians in the game of one of my favorite franchises (hundreds of hours spent in MW2 and MW3), they were before. But if in the original trilogy it was the ultra-nationalists (terrorists) seized power by force if we were given a clear division between evil Russian (ultra) and good Russian (loyalists and Russian special forces), now we show the regular Russian army, the Kremlin, acting as the main aggressors. Russian Russian localization tried to smooth the corners by replacing "Russian soldiers" with "Barkov mercenaries". This angered me, because I went through the original version before passing the localized version and saw everything that was intended by the screenwriter, all the quotes. Developers naturally showed the Russians as a washed-sadists and Nazis. I would like to remind you that Russia is one of the few countries that has organized regular convoys of humanitarian aid to Syria, and our experts, architects and engineers, are working to restore historical monuments and infrastructure, which were destroyed by this brutal and merciless war with terrorists and the opposition, seeking to plunge Syria back into chaos.

    Here, I might recall the hypocrisy of the screenwriter when he points out (caution, possible spoiler!) on the "Highway of death" and says that the Russians did it. There is no, I not dispute, this event took place be, in 1991, only here is was this in Iraq, not in Urzikstan (read "Syria", after all this obviously), and culprits killings was not Russia, this were the US. In fact, over the past 50 years, the us government and army have a lot of sins, invasions of sovereign countries, killings of civilians, destruction of the current government, support for separatists and terrorists, but okay, let's skip this point.

    In my opinion, this is an obvious political order of the US government against Russia, an attempt to educate a new generation with hatred for the imperialist competitor on the world stage.

    I appeal to all who live on this planet, regardless of nation, religion, skin color and eye shape. Friends, we are all human, we all want to live and do not seek to harm others. Which decade of the soldiers killed in the war of the capitalists for the division of the world, never once returning to her parents, the girl/wife, children... I consider this game a shame of the game series, Activision-a political prostitute, and those who support the plot of the game and claims its truthfulness-the enemies of humanity and humanity, unintelligent hamsters who can not master logical thinking and working with sources. Comrades, look at everything logically, study different sources of information, check the information, do not believe the propaganda and be restrained in relation to other Nations and races. Peace, brothers and sisters.

    Sincerely, from Russia    … Expand

    This game is nothing but a russophobic propaganda. More than that, authors assign to Russia the war crimes which were made by NATO in real life (Highway of Death). And Russians never hanged civil people in Syria!

    Thats disgusting. Shame on Activizion.

    Strange plot. Again evil Russians killing childrens. Actually evil Russians it’s not a problem, at the MW2 or even MW3 it was be really funny to fight with Russians in the Washington, just because it was absurdly, and doesn’t have smth links with real world. But here is the toooooooo serious and for this reason is very boring. Sad.

    Please, can you take ( DEV ERROR 6165 ) and put it in your ass? You are an incompetent developer. You are bad programmers and bad game creators. why I can’t play the game after paying for it? Your super minds spent 90% of their brain to expose Russians as scum, but couldn't make the game work? That's funny. It's a shame.

    Sh1tty propaganda trash. As always make other countries and nations terrorists in games and movies, but IRL you create those terrorists(ISIS, AQ, Taliban, White Helmets and etc). I even remember how British "Sky News" made reportages from Syria in the same ranks with AQ and WH. No one don`t care about it ofc.

    Сплошная русофобия. 1 миссия - русские готовят химические атаки. 2 миссия - из-за русских теракты в Лондоне. 3 миссия - русские убивают мирных граждан в Сирии.
    Ну и где тут ваша "серая мораль"?

    3. Female afro-american general of the US Army - check

    Yeah, it's good multi-player. Yeah, it's good gameplay. Yeah, it's a lot changes here. But it's the worst propaganda I've ever seen. It's toxic, rusophobic and wrong game. Russians in this game imaged as very violence and psycho animals with no any moral principles. This game mades not right opinion about russian people and it's can not be forgiven.

    Showing one nation as demons and another nation as angels is the same thing as RACISM. Surprise, it's called NAZISM and it doesn't matter what nation is on either side their is no GOOD or BAD nations or races. 0 for NAZI propaganda.

    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.
