    Игрушка очень понравилась. Как всегда на высоте, графика, экшен. Не понимаю почему у всех так бомбит. Какая-та истерия среди русских и якобы иностранцев.

    Don't listen to the snowflakes who don't want a real war game. Everyone wants COD to be better but complains when the necessary steps are taken. Play this game. It is amazing, dark, real, and beautiful.

    To put it into words. This is a game true to the reality of it's name. Most people asked for more relevant, more realistic environments and stories, here it is.

    Don't judge it, it's a game but it's an amazing play

    It’s not a perfect game by any stretch. The guns are unbalanced and the maps are pretty horrible. But the core gun play and mechanics are slick but weighty. The recoil is intense but manageable getting rid of laser like SMGs and LMGs. The snipers and marksmen rifles have a satisfying pop to them. There’s a learning curve here that’s been missing in recent call of duty titles in my opinion.It’s not a perfect game by any stretch. The guns are unbalanced and the maps are pretty horrible.

La personalización de las armas es una delicia con más de 70 accesorios por arma que hace que puedas tener de una arma muchos modelos que la cambian por completo las operaciones especiales a mi gusto le pondria dificultades diferentes pero bueno tampoco es imposible ahora falta ver como evoluciona el juego que en diciembre sale el primer pase de batalla veremos que tal esta y también seguramente saldrá un battle royale el año que viene y por lo que se ha dicho pinta de 10 también asique habra que ver… Expand

    Despite the hefty install size and awful way of downloading it, this reboot is a good one. The campaign is nothing like the original. It's more of a survival action game with an involving story. Think "Spec Ops: The Line" with plenty of cutscenes. Graphically, the game is very impressive. The co-op missions and multiplayer modes are great fun. Overall, I would rate this with an 8 out of 10.

This is first Multiplayer I’ve given well over a hundred hours to in years. Generally, the multiplayer is pretty boring with few unlocks to care about...Cold War... but almost every unlock and score streak felt amazing to use. Even if some guns weren’t as competitive as others, I still enjoyed using them the challenge and fun. Infinite ward also changed the multiplayer meta in a way that made it feel real but also like an arcade. Infinite Ward set the bar for all other games to come after it. Unfortunately, Cold War has since fallen well behind modern warfare’s shadow. While not every COD will be the same going forward, I truly hope that they learn from how amazing modern warfare is.

    Crossplay is both a welcomed introduction and cursed one. On one hand, it’s awesome to play with friends regardless of their system and it makes for more populated games. On the other hand, it clearly highlights how disadvantaged console players are to PC players. Mouse and keyboard will forever be easier/quicker than a controller. I currently own this on PlayStation and Xbox. I will state that for some reason, the game runs smoother on a PS4 pro than an Xbox one X. It is very slightly and almost unnoticeable but it’s there.    … Expand

    That aside, I highly enjoy this game! The campaign was an enjoyable, and fun, but also dark, and disturbing. This campaign has some of the best storytelling of any COD game to date, and some very dynamic characters, with real motives for why they do what they do. 10/10

    As for the multiplayer, fantastic! nearly every map is an enjoyable map, with great layouts. There are multiple new game modes, such as Ground War, and Gun fight, which are very unique and fun experiences within the COD franchise. Each weapon has it's checks and balances (except the 725, which is being fixed at the moment) which means the weapon you choose is all just personal preference, there is no real best gun in the game. The absence of specialist abilities and jet-pack suits is also welcome by me!

    I loved the campaign and I like how the story continues in spec ops while I do miss the old style of spec ops missions what they did is more challenging and a welcome change. While the multiplayer can be annoying it is still enjoyable I feel like most people blame the game for the actions of the players.

    Multiplayer

    I really like most of the maps but they have one bad touch to it, camping. Some lobbies are really bad camping lobbies and u need to get out of them quickly or you fight the camping players.
    Also the game comes with an hidden mmr system, which connects you with players around your skill level, with that it also throws you after a Game in a new lobby.

    There is no noob stomping or getting stomped, its mostly challenging lobbies now in the same levels of skill. All of that is a good feature but it nearly destroys the party function with friends with different skill levels. They are better then you get stomped a lot or if you are better then your friends get stomped to much. The Enjoyment of the Games can be very low if the party is not on an near level of skill.

    Other than that i really like the weapons, skills and upgrades and the big battlefield like mode.

    Other than PVP you can play PVE too in some horde like side missions, with special quests to do.

    Its one of the better CoD out there and got me back into it, my last Game was Ghosts.    … Expand

    Then Battlefield got repetetive as well and there wasn´t a higlight in simple multiplayer shooter games for me for a while.

    The Reboot of Modern Warfare changed that.
    The gameplay in my opinion is perfect.
    Fun and fast modes, a very good gun feeling and a very fair leveling system to unlock new weapons, perks and so on.

    I don´t want to go on about maps and guns in specific for to long, because everyone likes other aspects about them.
    But let me tell you, there are good and bad designed maps and guns.
    You can learn about the maps, the little shortcuts and good good spots in them but the weapons are getting better (in my opinion) with your unlocks.
    That means, if you are level two and get in a lobby with high rank enemys, their weapons are simply better by damage, accuracy and so on.
    That would be my only flaw, you need some patience or very good map knowledge to get a good gamescore in the early levels.

    But as soon as you have some weapons and perks, there are no negative points about the gameplay.
    Of course you can´t play an Assault Rifle on a small map and expect to be the best player when the others are playing with Machine Guns. I hope you get my point.

    Overall it is the best Call of Duty in a long time, with very good gun feeling, a good balance with the maps but a frustrating start until you unlocked better weapons and perks.    … Expand

    Wow, just wow. This game has some of the most up and down content in the series, sometimes it wows you with the graphical design, then sometimes a sniper from 50 feet away kills you in multiplayer, you never know what your gonna get.

    I was super excited to jump into the game, controller in hand, I went into spec ops, ready to play some fun content with a friend. Then the realization came,    Wow, just wow. This game has some of the most up and down content in the series, sometimes it wows you with the graphical design, then sometimes a sniper from 50 feet away kills you in multiplayer, you never know what your gonna get.

    I was super excited to jump into the game, controller in hand, I went into spec ops, ready to play some fun content with a friend. Then the realization came, both Spec Ops and “Co Op” were online only, for someone who bought this game almost entirely for the idea of playing games with friends, this was so disappointing.

    So you may be asking yourself, does Spec Ops live up to the incredibly high standards set by the trailers? Nope, this mode is one of the toughest modes I’ve played in a shooter game in a while, PVE in this game is just you being shot from enemies that constantly respawn and respawn and respawn over and over again. This mode is terrible, and the missions, bad.

    I then jumped into multiplayer, tears still in my eyes after watching myself die 20 times in a row, and the first thing I do, is I jump into a game of ten V ten on shipment, one of the new maps. As soon as I landed from the helicopter, I was having Vietnam flashbacks all over again, everyone was camping, I couldn’t move without being spawn killed, and overall hell broke loose. This map is literally so bad, I got so pissed off, I quit. I then played multiplayer for about 10 hours, making it to level 55 and having a k/d of, believe or not, 0.89. What? I thought.... Oh yeah, nevermind this multiplayer is such a grind, and it’s super fun for the most part. Besides all the campers that are shooting at you as soon as you spawn, gunplay is fun, graphics look great, and editing your weapons feels better then ever. Multiplayer is a step up from past CODs, and definitely a great PVP experience.

    Im not even going to bunch of filler and jokes into this section, because I need to get right to the point. This is, if not, one of the best Campaigns I’ve played in a COD game. This was also the first one I’ve finished on the hardest difficulty, Realism, where there is no hud. The last mission however, made me almost break my controller, after the _______ blew up, I was just getting sniped from out of nowhere, and I must of died 30 plus times, not at all an exaggerated statement. Besides that mission though, the campaign is so damn good. Overall, this is a step in the right direction for a game series that looks to be taking a step back every game, and it’s very refreshing. Spec ops is terrible, Multiplayer is fun, and Campaign is world class. Please play this game. Oh, and I didn’t play Warzone.... ew.

    The Campaign is awesome! One of the best of the entire CoD Franchise! Captain Price has a new amazing actor and all of the missions are great and it ultimately is fun to play! Personal favorites are the Clean House and Going Dark mission. The campaign takes risks, high risk, a lot of fun, just how I like it.

    The Multiplayer also is great and a lot of fun to play!
    The modes are fun, the new modes are great and the one thing it is missing is like real great multiplayer maps which you want to replay.

    Awsome campaign! I'm not into online gaming, so I only buy these games for the single-player experience. Loved it! But there are a LOT of problems with the package:

    * On the Xbox Store, you can buy the game, but they force Warzone on the install (140GB)
    * You buy COD MW, but the installed game icon says COD WARZONE
    * The installation is broken as many already know, when the install is complete the game has everything it needs for you to launch WARZONE but if you just want to play the game you bought, the COD MW single-player campaign, some data packages are missing that you need to manually download and install separately before you can launch the campaign. All of this from watching YouTube videos, as the game never tells you what is going on.
    * The game performs well on Xbox series X with some occasional stutter.

    Despite all of these problems that are more product or commercial distribution-related, the game is a blast. Loved the single-player experience, the gameplay mechanics, graphics, etc. This Modern Warfare Reboot gave me tons of fun and immersive modern military shooter experiences.    … Expand

This is a very gritty campaign that tackles many tough war questions about why soldiers do what they do and where they draw the line. The characters are very three-dimensional and you can end up seeing their motivations as the story progresses. While I don’t necessarily think that having the Russians as the main antagonist was a bad thing, I do believe that more detail could’ve been shown as to why Barkov (the leader) does what he does besides Farah’s canned explanation of him being a mindless, ruthless leader. Nevertheless, I do believe that the Modern Warfare campaign was very emotionally gripping, with some light RPG elements in there such as dialogue trees and decisions that change the story’s progression. The gunplay has never felt better, but the running speed feels somewhat similar to Rainbow Six: Siege. Running in the campaign is very slow, in stark contrast to multiplayer and Warzone where you can run extremely fast. Again, just a small detail. The campaign has some replayability as the player might want to replay the game and make different choices in dialogue and the progression choices. I enjoyed the high-octane level design, and I especially enjoyed the attention to detail in regards to weapons and how they work. The snipers felt much more realistic as opposed to Advanced Warfare and even Black Ops III, and I enjoyed the satisfying feeling of connecting with a target 300 meters away. My one actual complaint with the game was that if you downloaded Warzone before you purchased Modern Warfare, you had to delete Warzone to install the campaign, multiplayer, and Spec Ops and then reinstall the Warzone patch. Also a few technical glitches on the Highway of Death mission can make or break your gameplay there, sometimes requiring you to restart the mission. Verdict: The Modern Warfare campaign was very emotionally gripping, and I thoroughly enjoyed playing through the story of Captain Price and his associates. The one complaint I had with the campaign was the buggy mission Highway of Death and the way they handled Warzone and Modern Warfare’s interactivity. Other than that, a phenomenal first-person shooter. 90%
    The multiplayer is very fun and interactive, loadout creation has never been smoother, and most maps are impeccably designed. There are always issues with a multiplayer game, however, and CoD is not exempt from said issues. One of my favorite things with FPS multiplayer is the ability to create a custom loadout, and Modern Warfare gives you all the tools to make your loadout intimately yours. One of the only problems with the loadout system is the slow menus. Menus in Modern Warfare are slower than usual, but I don’t know if this has to do with having the original Xbox One or if the game is genuinely slow. Gun Game, Ground War, Gunfight, and TDM are by far the best modes in my opinion, with Ground War’s intricately smooth strategic gameplay transferring over to Modern Warfare quite well. Gunfight is a fun new addition, with a bigger focus on strategy and prior planning rather than running across the map, guns blazing. Gun Game continues to be fun, although some of the weapons do not agree well with the map design. (Tell me how I’m supposed to get a respectable kill with the crossbow on Piccadilly!) Team Deathmatch continues to be a fun mode that has become a standard in multiplayer games. My main complaint with multiplayer is the maps. Azhir Cave is fun and requires you to be tactical, but the night mode is extremely disorienting, even with night vision on. Piccadilly is the bane of my existence, as the map is designed around a smorgasbord of vehicles. There is absolutely no cover whatsoever on Piccadilly unless you go in the buildings, but surprise! That is everyone else’s idea as well! Another big complaint with Modern Warfare multiplayer is the dependence on crossplay. I am all for cross-platform multiplayer games, but you should have an option to choose which platforms you want to play with. With the open-source format of Modern Warfare, it gives way for hackers and cheaters on PC to use hacks such as aimbot and wallbot (My loving nickname for the hack that lets you see through walls). Infinity Ward has done absolutely nothing about PC cheaters besides ban them, but that won’t help in the long run. Activision and Infinity Ward really need to crack down on PC cheaters and secure Modern Warfare’s servers, otherwise the game will continue to be plagued by this disease of cheating. Verdict: Modern Warfare’s multiplayer does an excellent job of giving us the classic Call of Duty vibes while just playing some good ol’ fashioned TDM. The only thing holding MW back is the dependence on crossplay and a few poor map designs, but other than that, MP on MW is a blast! 83%    … Expand

    The worst part of this game is Spec Ops easilly, i mean it is really difficult, while i just wanna have fun, not become DoomGuy. SBMM is a problem, not because it puts me in cero fun games, but while we played with a friend was like this:

    We win a match, we lose other, and it continued for like 2 hours. Its really distracting when you know you are gonna win the next match without even trying.

    I recomend this game, it has a fun story, fun multiplayer and mediocre spec ops, kinda. The graphics are really good. And also if you like Battle Royale, is **** free so have at you.    … Expand

    Amazing refinement of Call of Duty while becoming an instant fan favourite as they bring back what most people like about the game and map design. Lost 2 points because they broke the campaign with the inclusion of other games in the launcher where the pre rendered cutscenes are now always choppy with audio lagging making it unwatchable.

    Excellent game, great story, decent multiplayer, excellent campaign, excellent graphics and all around just one of the best games ever made. It's a great way to restart the best franchise ever made in history, the call of duty modern warfare story. It would get a 10 out of 10 if it wasn't for skill base matchmaking

    Campaign - 10/10. Enjoyable, memorable missions, good character writing and a damn well produced story campaign

    Multiplayer 11/10. COD Multiplayer have never been this fun. Gamemodes like free-for-all, gun game, hardpoint and more is fun as HECK and they're active other than just team deathmatch. Gun customization is almost perfection. For some reason they brought back the worst map in COD history: Rust. At the same time another crap map that is called Shipment is too tiny, it should've been removed from the game. The weapons in the game is exactly what I really wish COD have and they're all here.

    Warzone 10/10. Arguably the best battle royale you can play right now

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a good game that improved from the previous installments. I really enjoyed the campaign and would be interesting too see where this goes forward in the future. And the multiplayer was also pretty good as well. Overall, this was solid shooter and a good come back for the franchise.

    Well, what do you say now, people who shouted that there is Russophobia in the game, etc. This game directly shows your morality and the real damage caused to other nations of the world (Ukraine, Syria and many others) by the Russian army. And for those who don't know yet: Verdansk is modeled after Donetsk, which was captured by Russia.

    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]
