    Even after ten years the campaign is as engrossing as ever while the multiplayer focuses on classic gun battles on huge maps. Unfortunately this is not yet available as a stand-alone.

    The campaign is still just as epic as before. The multiplayer is tremendous and offers a whole different challenge to its sibling, Infinite Warfare, with a much different way of approaching the game and your tactics inside it. And it looks terrific, especially if you look at it nine years ago first.

    Apart from the lighting, I can’t really complain about anything. The performance is solid and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has never looked better. Just our of curiosity I went back to the PC version and this remaster looks so much better even on consoles. The developers need to be applauded. For those of you who were wondering if Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered was worth it, I can tell you without a shred of doubt that it definitely is.

    Infinity Ward's seminal Call of Duty gets the revamp it deserves; Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered gives the 2007 shooter a new lease of life, enabling newcomers to see what all the fuss was about and veterans the chance to relive a classic. The best Call of Duty game just got even better.

    Put simply, Modern Warfare is no longer modern — though the combat and, in some ways, the action-movie story at its foundation are ageless, its level design and lack of campaign progression reveal its true age. But it’s not outdated, it’s classic, and the considerable effort that has gone into improving the models, textures, and effects have enhanced it enough that playing through the campaign again was rewarding.

    A great remaster that can be considered almost a remake. It may be too old on its gameplay basics, and doesn't have the deep customization options of its older brothers, but still manages to entertain either on the campaign or on the multiplayer side of the game.

    Activision clearly knows that there is an entire generation of gamers that is eagerly awaiting the return to boots-on-the-ground COD. ModernActivision clearly knows that there is an entire generation of gamers that is eagerly awaiting the return to boots-on-the-ground COD. Modern Warfare pays tribute to one of the best FPS games of the last decade and delivers well. Overall visuals are fantastic and the sound design makes the game come to life. The release of six more maps for free was a welcome Christmas gift as well and easily prolongs gameplay by a few more months. Now Activision, please take note and make the next iteration of the franchise as great as your first. Full Review »

    This remaster is a joke. Anything Infinity Ward has touched since the original MW2 is a failure. The hit boxes are abismally bad. I should notThis remaster is a joke. Anything Infinity Ward has touched since the original MW2 is a failure. The hit boxes are abismally bad. I should not have to reload and empty 2 full MP5 mags into an enemy 100 feet away. I remember how great this game was.....and this is NOT that game. I am highly dissappointed in this remake.

    If a MAJOR balancing patch was done to balance this joke of a game, then I would be willing to raise the score...but multiplayer is the main reason I bought this and it's neigh unplayable. It's about as bad as Ghosts...but so is the new Infinite Warfare.

    Within 24 hoirs I probably have 50 games or more abd I have a 0.67 K/D. Same for IW. In Blops3 I have a 2.21. It's not me, it's this BS game. Infinity ward needs to close its doors for good.
