    CoD: Modern Warfare brings back a very cinematic and thought-provoking campaign to the series coupled with a state-of-the-art engine, but it's in its multiplayer modes where it fails to convince due to balancing problems that end up encouraging campers and the removal of many small improvements the series had during the years. The co-op Specs Ops mode feels under-developed and too basic, too. All in all, the most disappointing episode in the series this gen.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a mixed bag. A fantastic returning campaign, some decent multiplayer and terrible co-op makes MW an interesting entry.

    If you don’t mind being killed by the odd nuke – how anyone can score 30 consecutive kills is beyond our tiny minds – PvP could swallow your damn life. Pair it with a gutsy (if insensitive) campaign, and this tonally conflicted series continues to stay relevant thanks to the best guns in the biz. [Issue#184, p.68]

    Both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s Campaign and Multiplayer may have some issues, but generally, I had a good time with each mode.

    I am not Russian, but I agree with this opinion. This is so hypocrisy, Russia is not perfect, but compared to the United States they are justI am not Russian, but I agree with this opinion. This is so hypocrisy, Russia is not perfect, but compared to the United States they are just saints. Look at your history, racism, segregation, slavery, the genocides of entire nations, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the invasion of Arab countries with permanent civilian casualties and rapes. Do you have any criticism for yourself? You said in an interview that there will be no black and white in the game. Look, for example, at the game Spec Ops The Line, they were perfectly able to show a gray morality, or the film Apocalypse Now, what was the problem in doing the same? I didn’t think your screenwriters are so dumb or his brain is washed. When you offend a single feminist or gay you have a scandal, but when you offend an entire nation, everything is fine. These are double standards. With this attitude, you spoil your reputation, people have a reciprocal aversion to the United States and its pop culture Full Review »
