    The worst call of duty ever, played the games for over 10 years never experienced anything this bad.

    My favourite game is officially dead.

    Uninstalled **** the most stressful online gaming experience of my entire life.
    Honestly I do not know where to even begin...

    I’ve been playing call of duty since CoD 2 days and have played every iteration in between with thousands and thousands of hours gaming time... there have been ups and down along the way but Modern Warfare is a nail in the coffin as far as I’m concerned.

    This game is cancer, there is little I like about it bare the movement mechanics and graphics....

    The story mode is painfully slow paced and boring, dimly lit and far too tactical to really have much fun... you have to sweat even in campaign mode LOL.

    But that’s not even 1% of what is wrong with this **** show. The online experience is nothing short of a brain aneurism.

    I genuinely find myself having to psych myself up mentally before I even switch the game on at this point... I tell myself to just try and have fun don’t focus on the bull**** just run and gun, rush a flew b flags, try and at least have some fun but no.

    Between the SBMM and the awful hit detection and stupid TTK, awful map design, **** spawns and glitchy audio you just can’t enjoy it.

    I somehow have 2 days play time which I find hard to believe as I can’t even go 2 to 3 matches without having to turn the game off due to the anger it makes me feel. No CoD has ever made me this stressed to play.

    Not to mention the fact the battle pass is wack and the latest update somehow wiped all my CoD Points id collected which in normal circumstances would have really pissed me off however I couldn’t really care less on this game because I’m never going to play it long enough to warant saving cod points for skins or weapons etc.

    The game was already cancer before the latest update however they’ve decided to slap the old school cod lovers in the face again by ruining two perfectly good maps, vacant isn’t too bad apart from the new safe space outside and the fact they moved the position of the bins near the old jump shot so the only way to get a line of site down the long corridor is to climb the bin below the window and inevitably get killed before you even make it half way.

    But SHIPMENT... seriously don’t get me started on shipment... just play a game for yourself I don’t even have the energy to write out everything that’s wrong with that map... just utter **** The worst spawns in FPS history by a country mile.

    There’s literally maybe 2-3 half decent online maps the rest are actual crap...

    The game is seriously not right, not to mention that in recent days it takes me upwards of 10 minutes to find a full lobby without players backing out because we have no choice of map or ability to vote so when we get one of the **** maps which statistically is about 80% chance then everyone backs out and you fail to even start a game which creates stress before you even get into the game which causes heart attack levels of stress LOL!

    Why does every single game go to the time limit? A 10 v 10 and the maps are so big that after the game ends the top player might be lucky to have 15 kills that’s like 1 kill per minute some games unless you spawn trap and can avoid being killed by the countless campers this games pace has created.

    I’m honestly about to uninstall the game and not even consider redownloading until massive changes are made because at this stage the game is unplayable for a serious player. I average a 3.0 KD or thereabouts across all the other games yet this game I can barely keep a 1.5 because of the SBMM... every game I play feels like an MLG sweat fest World Series final with millions on the line, every player on both teams is sweating heavily and we’re all of a good quality so it’s barely even possible to do well most games you and the rest of the lobby will scrape just above or below a 1.0 KD... that is not fun IW... we are casual gamers who want to have fun after a stressful day at work or school for the younger generation and this game is literally a mental health hazard it gives me migraines and can literally ruin my whole night because of how badly it annoys me that my favourite game franchise is going down the ****ter. I could go on for hours but if anybody actually takes the time to read this before buying just don’t... it’s not worth the stress and anger plus the money it will cost you. Save your money and buy literally any other game...    … Expand

    The campaign is ridiculously short. Infinity Ward lied one more time. Spec Ops doesn't feel like Spec Ops, it feels like battle royale, and I hate battle royale. Multiplayer has pink stuffs that does not fit in a military shooter game. Now Infinity Ward screwed up everything due to aggressive micro-transaction incoming. This is 5 dollars game.

However, the story is very Russophobic, I feel for the Russians depicted in this game. Especialy with regards to the Story Mission "Highway of Death" . This is based on real life events where in the 90's American Troops bombed and slaghtered civillian and surrendering Iraqi Troops in a Genocide/War Crime. In the game everything is the same except accusing the Russians of this crime. Woeful.

    Multiplayer has potential however is absoute Trash. Netcode is no good often you will get killed when in cover and see on other persons Kill Cam that you were not in cover like you thought you were. The unfortunatte design of both maps and TTK(Time To Kill) ensures people will need to camp in order to get kills. Spawns are terrbile nothing tactical about the game, no matter how many corners and windows you check you still get shot in the back.

    Spec Ops is a complete lie, lackluster maps. Unlimited spawning enemies and is almost impossible to beat. Don't believe me check the Modern Warfare Subreddit.

    I am not a Russian bot (or even a Russian person) like most of these reviewers. Allegations that Russia is ‘depicted as pure evil’ is nonsense, as the Russian gov’t is represented by Kamarov and he is a good guy in the story (or, at least no worse than the rest of the CIA).

Allegations that Russia is ‘depicted as pure evil’ is nonsense, as the Russian gov’t is represented by Kamarov and he is a good guy in the story (or, at least no worse than the rest of the CIA).

    The game gets one point for the campaign. The acting is mostly good, especially Price. It pushes nostalgia buttons. It makes me yearn for the first time that the name ‘Makarov’ is mentioned, likely coming in the next game. However, the campaign represents 1% of gameplay by time for most buyers.
    The second point is because it is technically sound (at least on PC, I know XBONE players have had trouble). Regardless, the game looks great, sounds great, and the gun handling is as good as ever. The motion cap is excellent (because they used people who actually know how to handle firearms) as is the attention to detail in Gunsmith (though I wish that they licensed items that are depicted like Magpul, Aimpoint, EOTech, Accuracy Int’l, Sig, Glock, etc.)

    Spec Ops is a joke. It’s an afterthought that is comprised solely of recycled assets from a BR mode that is either on hold or cancelled after Activision realized that BR is dying and that this game can’t be just another BR COD.

    The multiplayer, which is the meat of why most buy COD, is simply the worst I have played since COD Ghosts. IW stated that they wanted to allow “less skilled” players to be able to better compete. In effect, what they did is create a game where anyone who tries to move around even cautiously is punished severely.
    - M-4/725 meta: This is likely just a launch problem, but these guns are basically the only viable weapons at the moment. With such a short TTK, you simply cannot compete with people who are using these guns if you are using something even slightly inferior. The idea of going into a game with an inferior loadout to just “have fun” or “try stuff out” is not an option except for the best players in the game.
    - Footsteps are the loudest I have ever heard in a game. In a way, they are a technical marvel, because I feel like I can see through walls with my ears. It’s uncanny at times. But this means that even crouch walking around results in you being soundwhored by people who are camped and hardscoping the door you’re about to come through. Because of this, Ghost is a required perk in slot 2, because you simply cannot afford to show up on UAV while you’re camping.
    - Netcode often results in single-frame deaths or the perception that you were killed by someone you couldn’t see yet.
    - The spawns are astoundingly resistant to flipping, even in Domination when a team holds a triple cap. This means that Domination usually results in a spawn trap within the first 50 points of a game, with no opportunity for comebacks by most teams. Maps such as Piccadilly and Euphrates are especially susceptible to this.
    All of these issues can and likely will be fixed or at least adjusted in future patches. There are two problems that I believe are fundamentally wrong with the game that will not ever be fixed:
    - The maps are designed for Window Warfare. The massive array of angles and verticality again means that anyone who tries to run and gun will always be cut down by those who are camping windows even after the footstep volume and camping issues are solved. The existing maps will NEVER be changed, and the first one or two drops of DLC maps are probably already beyond the point of no return in development at this point. Domination is especially hurt by this design. I have never played a COD game where B will often stay uncapped for the first 3+ minutes of a game. It’s because players post up and hardscope the flag, waiting to rip the face off the first poor bastard to even think of wandering near it.
    - The largely unacknowledged Skill Based Matchmaking means that you have to sweat hard to play the game. You cannot play casually. Because of this, you must use the meta guns all the time because you cannot afford to give up any advantage to the players you are matched against. Always competing exactly at your skill level sounds good on paper, but it makes the game extremely fatiguing to play since you can never just sit back and relax. In a number of other shooting games, my friends and I will easily play for 5-6+ hours at a time, but we find this game so fatiguing and unfun to play that we rarely play for more than an hour or so before we want to take a break or lose interest altogether. Even when we win, we still feel that the game simply isn’t fun to play most of the time.
    I’ll follow the development for a few months to see how aggressively IW will correct these problems. It seems highly likely that old fan favorite maps from previous MW games are coming as DLC, and they will further scratch the nostalgia itch. But I will 100% not play this game in 2020 if the meta isn’t adjusted to make all play styles viable.    … Expand

    Also, the terrible decision to share things with the other recent COD files like Vanguard, Black Ops and Warzone, means that good luck figuring out which guns in your collection can be used in which game. Literally the same game will lists guns as usable in one place and not let you use them in another.

    Since there doesn't seem to be an incentive to fix these bugs seeing as some of them has been in the game from day one, it was essentially released as abandonware from day one.

COD was great when we frowned on players that use cheap tactics to win and modded controllers but now everyone defends these things and says just adpt and get good. No one likes playing against ppl with all the BS accessories you can use. To put it this way if this game was football how many ppl would hate football and stop watching if some quarterbacks could use glue and spikes on their shoes? No one would watch and everyone would be pissed but since it is a game ppl say its no big deal and still the same ppl that say its no big deal are the ones that are using cheap tactics and sweating their *** off saying its a sport. Well which is it? If it's sport don't allow dropshots and halo jump spamming and scuffs in the game and set rules and guidelines that must be followed or frowned upon like any other sport. If it's not a sport then stop being a tryhard to make every kill as cheap and unfair as you can. It's this logic that has ruined the game that no one talks about. COD was good because most ppl played for fun and was sportsmans about the game and frowned on being dirty(like camping and laying down in BO1 was very frowned upon and even bannable). I'm not arguing with some kid that wants to number crunch and weasel his stance for scuffs and halo jumping and drop shotting to win. If it is not cheap then why is it so controversial and not everyone can agree upon whats right or wrong? A simple fix is too just ban these ppl and implement rules that can be followed by everyone and not just an up in the air debate. COD needs rules of what you can and can't use and do. (simple) This would make it clear of what's right and wrong and gives everyone a fair game. I'm just saying if ppl are getting so ridiculous that not one match can be fun because everyone is being cheap and tryharding every match and want to treat the game like a sport then we need rules and better guidelines to follow or ppl need to have fun and stop tryharding. (simple) BUT ONE HAS TO GO! The game can not keep selling games and stay in business at this rate. It will crumble.… Expand

    Campaign is decent but the multiplayer is just a trash dumpster fire. Did they have to try and reinvent the wheel for this game. How could the multiplayer be so broken. This is what the Infinity Ward makers do, how did they screw this up.

    Single player good graphics, forgettable story. Multiplayer camp fest, zero online achievements, not even for lvl 55 like other cod games, no incentive to play online with zero achievements to earn. The death sound when dying from a headshot or knife is terribly loud. It sounds like a cannon going off in real life. It’s so loud it makes me want to just not play.

    They had the opportunity to make this game different, and improve it. It started with slow gameplay where you had to think about what you are doing. However now they have changed it. Back to **** jumping around corners, sneaking around with shotguns in corners with absolutely no way of stopping it. And of course entire servers using the poorly balanced M4A1.

    Campaign is great
    Multiplayer is trash ,campers are everywhere because map design are ass and gun damage is atrocious ,moving around disavantage you beacause you make so much noise that camping is the only was to not get killed everytime ,not fun at all ,maps aren't good either and it's laggy (Matchmaking is an issue too)
    Warzone ,cheaters ,campers and allies that crash the chopper in    Campaign is great

    This game is garbage. Don't buy.
    I bought this game when it came out, played it for a few hours and sold it. It's been a year, but someone gave me a free copy so I popped it in. This game still sucks! The multiplayer is great if you're a camper. For everyone else it's horrible. This game has the worst maps I've ever had to play in a COD game. It has bad visibility, too many lines    TL;DR

The skill based matchmaking makes every match extremely stressful and no one I know is having fun playing this.

    People think the campaign is anti-Russian, and it does look like that at first glance. In reality it's anti-American. Not only do most Americans not think Russians are the monsters portrayed in this game, but Activision seems to have convinced Russians that we do. This propaganda does nothing but stir hate toward the US. Too much politics in this campaign.

    Activision & IW are "woke" companies, and "woke" people love creating division between allies.    … Expand

    This might go down as the WORST COD of all time, if not for Warzone. Even Warzone isn’t that great. Every patch update is 50Gb+ and they fix nothing.

Multiplayer is unplayable from a competitive perspective. Spawns follow little to no logic. Enemies will spawn directly into your crosshairs multiple times a game. Holding “anchor” for spawns in a competitive match is useless now. The game just spawns players anywhere on the map. The maps are made to encourage corner campers, it is impossible to check everywhere. The game has a real problem with peaker’s advantage, and angles. When one player may be completely hidden behind a wall on their screen, half of their body will be sticking out on anothers screen. You will often die from an enemy jumping around a corner before you can even see their character. The movement feels very smooth, but the game never works the way it’s supposed to. They don’t focus on fixing any problems. Especially for xbox users, you will often feel like activision is giving xbox the middle finger. Xbox has the most issues. All in all, I wish I never wasted my time on this game. If the next COD isn’t good, i wouldn’t buy any more in the future.… Expand

    The absolute worst multiply in the entire history of the franchise. The maps and spawn system are so terrible they detract from any positive aspects that might be considered to give it a better rating. IW has proven in their last three games they can no longer make a decent multiplayer shooter. Going forward, I'm skipping their games.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare serves up the freshest take on a stale formula in years, with a new engine and revitalised multiplayer mode that takes full advantage of a finely-tuned weapon customisation system and some welcome changes to ballistic mechanics. While Spec Ops fails to deliver much long-term attraction, the story mode proves there’s plenty of justification for a narrative element in a modern shooter. Free maps and updates bring everyone onto the same page in multiplayer, but Infinity Ward's take on the battle pass template still needs some work.

    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]
