    Just another check cashing space filler. The “campaign” is short, forgettable and formulaic.

    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...

    The game came out great! I loved how everything I wanted I had to work for it! Earn it. Not pay money like almost every other game. But now after they added their greedy corporate microtransactions I've hated the game... now all the stuff everyone has worked for is inept to all the flashy new stuff that ppl can just pay for now. Before all this I would've gave this a game a perfect score.

    Terrible game. We wanted a new version of COD4 not a terrible, slow, campy version of Black Ops 4 with bad netcode and twenty-five unrealistic killstreaks.

    Best CoD in years. It's about time they used a new engine. First time in 14 years I believe. I love the game but never quite been a fan of infinity wards map designs. This game has some of their worst ever. It's a shame how they can get so much right and drop the ball at map design. It's definitely the buggiest cod ever to release too. Cod is usually on point with game stability.

    The game looks visually stunning, the sound is immersive & awesome. People who complain about camping ect need to try different game modes to find something that suits them. For example the 2v2 mode is run & gun. I like the kill streaks for example the chopper looks cool flying around the map.

    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!

    All in all, this is an amazing game, and the best game I have played in a long, long time.

    Honestly I haven't cared for a COD game since maybe MW3. I generally have stayed away from them. This is because of the obnoxious killstreaks and quickscoping. Quickscoping is not a major thing now but camping for killstreaks is real big.

Quickscoping is not a major thing now but camping for killstreaks is real big. Put your claymores down and get in a building where you can hide and shoot people with cover. I'll be the 1st to admit that I'm not very good at these games anymore. Old eyes and my reflexes are just not like they were 10 years ago. I generally die a lot and find myself frustrated. If you've never been very good at COD or you're getting older you will probably be in the same boat. It's a punishing game and will test your patience every time you die. There are a lot of cheap deaths where you know you shot 1st or you get shot in the back. The footsteps are like concrete blocks on surfaces but the enemies are not usually where you think they are and...bang. You're dead.

    Basically if you are a very competitive gamer with little patience who doesn't camp with claymores, you may wanna skip this one for the sake of your mental health.

    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.

    I really couldn't care less about politics in the game - both Russia and USA are evil superpowers but do I have to give a crap if all I wanted to do tonight is just play a fun shooter game? Why don't the Russians make a good game about evil Americans? I would play that too, as long as its as good as this CoD game!

    It has a ridiculous story, uninspired campaign, dumb AI, extremely boring missions with lack of scale and without any "wow moments" series is known for. Graphically it looks terrible even on PC with maxed out settings — the final product is nothing like it's trailers. Location's design is also unmemorable. Developers are trying to hide the game's ugliness in the dark (80% of the game is taking place at night or in dark buildings), but it isn't working. Also, there isn't any music playing on most levels. What the hell Activision?

    And, yeah, Infinity Ward also lied about "grey morale": all Russian soldiers are evil in the sake of being evil. They are killing civilians, women and children without any reasons or logic behind their actions. If you are trying to make an interesting enemy — at least give them SOME motivation or ideology. Even Nazis in the COD: WW2 wasn't such monsters as Russians in new COD: MW. The Americans and British soldiers, in contrast, are heroes that even in the "torture" episode aren't actually torturing anyone. You can't even shot the terrorist's wife in the leg to make him talk — the game won't allow you to. Because Americans never tortured any terrorists in Guantanamo or Iraqi prisons, of course. Or 'cause USA and UK are the most important markets for COD games. It isn't the game about the dark side of war as they promised. It isn't a fun shooting gallery as previous COD games. It's the stupidest, tasteless propaganda I've seen in my entire life. Activision is trying to be provoking, but they don't have balls to do it properly. For example, we all understand that this fictional Urzikstan country is meant to represent Syria, but devs are afraid to say it out loud.

    If you don't give a ..ck about the singleplayer campaign — I have bad news for you, 'cause multiplayer sucks too. It's trying to be the COD, Battlefield and Counter-Strike at the same time... and it fails to be anything. It's too laggy, unpolished and unplayable.

    Modern Warfare (2019) is the worst part of Call of Duty. Actually, it's the worst shooter I've played in years. And it's one more disappointment in a neverending chain of disappointments from modern Activision-Blizzard. I'm just too sick of their s..tty games, microtransactions and politics, so, I've deleted my Battle.net account.

This did a great job of providing a modern setting with lots of realistic gameplay and not over the top action like past COD titles. While the single-player is great the multiplayer is just ok. It feels just like any other COD game you have ever played for the most part. However, it promotes camping and there are cheap kills such as claymores and constant kill streaks. Some of the weapons are unbalanced along with team balancing issues. While this is mostly standard for COD multiplayer games this iteration feels ramped up to 10. A patch can fix most of these issues but without one it is very frustrating even for skilled players. Expand

    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.
  2. 70
    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.
