    Little content that got me excited. They also turned that fun, old, multiplayer into the cancerous new style, but worse. As little time you have to react in other games, you don't have any time to react. Disapointing.

    “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered”

    Pros
    - Amazing gameplays (Campaign, Multiplayer, Team Deathmatch, Demolition, and etc.)
    - Good quality
    - Amazing graphics
    - Fun to play
    -

    Cons
    -Has a few bugs and glitches in the game

    Infinity Award has outdone themselves in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. Remember, it is a little pricey; it goes at around $80, but it includes the new game Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. You can play this game on the PC, Xbox One, and PS4. the console I use is the Xbox One. for me it is really easy to use the controls. Personally I think the PS4 controls are harder to use. This game constantly comes out with updates to fit your needs for this game and make it better and more fun. It has really changed from the older version; like it has “high definition, featuring improved textures, physically based rendering, high-dynamic range lighting and much more”(Metacritic). The gameplay looks so real that if it was a show. The quality of this game is just phenomenal.

    I started playing this game on Christmas night and i was just surprised on how good it is. Sometimes the game would glitch and I would have to shut my console off because it freezes, but it’s pretty rare to glitch. I would recommend this to people who like first-person shooting games,

    Overall my experience with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is fantastic. I thought it would be not as good graphics and be disappointed but i was wrong it is has amazing graphics and amazing game play. Infinity Award did the best job they could on this game and they accomplished it. This game is by far the best game play and graphics I’ve seen in awhile. If i lost this game today I would go right to the store and buy the game. I recommend this to all you first-person shooting game lovers,    … Expand

    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 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.    … Expand

    awful not call of duty 4 but MWR and the community that plays it. the community has ruined the game more then anyone else I could care less about supply drops but if your going to change this game at least make it better nerf/buff things that deserve it like grenades and the m16 fix the hit detection in cod 4 not every gun killed you in 1-3 bullets and add flak jacket the grenade spam inawful not call of duty 4 but MWR and the community that plays it. the community has ruined the game more then anyone else I could care less about supply drops but if your going to change this game at least make it better nerf/buff things that deserve it like grenades and the m16 fix the hit detection in cod 4 not every gun killed you in 1-3 bullets and add flak jacket the grenade spam in this game is stupid 2/3 of your deaths in every single match are from unavoidable cross map grenades that can ruin a streak and it makes the game feel like it takes less skill I really cant see how people can enjoy this I feel like every lobby is the same at least not every mw2 lobby was ruin by grenade launchers this coming from someone whose been play cod this the first game on pc not someone who started with black ops 2 I'not the only one who wants changes for the better in this game me my friends and youtubers like NerosCinema also this game is way too sweaty people are constantly jumping mid gunfight like its advance warfare and dropshotting every kill and the TTK feels more like ghosts then cod4… Expand

    Sell this game and have to buy also the IW is unacceptable, the DLCs re-purchase and thing they should have included, Activision loves to cheat and swindle people.

    I rented MWR a year ago and I had high expectations for it as I had heard nothing but praise for this game. Boy was I sure disappointed. I feel like I am the only one who thinks this, so I am going to get out my thoughts here:

    1: The characters are all awfully written. Captain Price is a war criminal who tortures and kills people with no remorse. He has no good dialogue or motivations    I rented MWR a year ago and I had high expectations for it as I had heard nothing but praise for this game. Boy was I sure disappointed. I feel like I am the only one who thinks this, so I am going to get out my thoughts here:

    1: The characters are all awfully written. Captain Price is a war criminal who tortures and kills people with no remorse. He has no good dialogue or motivations in this game, and yet we are meant to like him because he's on our side. Quite literally everyone else is either silent or has little dialogue, none of which is memorable or good. I guess Captain McMillan or whatever his name was had some decent quotes, but other than him this point still stands.

    2: The conflicts going on in this game are uninteresting. For some unexplained reason, the Russians are having a civil war, and the SAS intervene. Similarly, the US marines decide to invade some country in the Middle East (the game doesn't even say which country, it literally just says "The Middle East", which is lazy). They do this because the leader who liked the West was usurped. Now this is reflective of real world events, which is great, but it is boring since there is no character building or good gameplay options, which I will get into in a bit.

    3: The game is only about shooting and nothing else. It doesn't even have a theme or a moral lesson like the other games in the series do from what I remember. I get that it's a first person shooter, but as mentioned earlier, when you take a minute to sit down and have the characters talk and show personality, it makes the game better. Both Black Ops 1 and World at War do this, and they were released in 3 years after MW, so it's not like it was impossible to do back then.

    4: Level design: The first few missions are just "go here, shoot these people, and move on in a linear format, and do the exact same thing next level." All ghillied up and the mission right after it are well designed as they deviate from this pattern, and some later missions also deviate from this pattern, so they get a pass. I just wanted to get this grievance out.

    5: Replay-ability value in the single player: There is little to none. You can't choose your load-outs before each mission, you can't go in many other paths than the one the game forces you to go down to, and there are no great or funny moments with characters to see again. They do have intel and cheats, so that can somewhat spice it up, but it won't be amusing after the first few times.

    6: Multiplayer: It's fun enough. For the most part it copied the original, which is fine, but it shows its age. I had a decent time playing it at times, but I soon realized that it was outclassed by newer multiplayers with more active players, different modes, kill streaks, and so on. So why play a decent multiplayer when you could play a great one?

    7: There is no third mode. I get that MWR didn't want to stray too far from the original, but it genuinely would have been an improvement if they had added some sort of spec ops or some sort of side mode like that in addition to the campaign and multiplayer. It wouldn't have interfered with what the people liked about the original, while adding something new to it.

    Everyone except me seems to love this game for some reason, and I genuinely don't see why, other than for the nostalgia of the original. The original is not very good, unfortunately, and therefore this game is not very good.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.
