    Activision needs to take note for the future. You (Activision) guys should be better than that and make games - don't play (political) games.

    Total BS

    How much are Activision taking to shill for the US D.O.D? Not content with suckering little kiddies into the armed forces with a totally false representation of warfare. We get this. When I buy a game.. I expect a game.. not a load of BS US propaganda. Won't be buying from Activision again... Alea Jacta Est

    Hello just reviewing here from Melbourne Australia.
    Initally I played through the single player campaign - which is very good, both visually and through the story telling. 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.

    Sad I wasted $70 AU on this game I don't reccomend it to anyone in its current state. Terrible. I made a meta critic account just to post this review.

    worst piece of propaganda this world has ever witnessed. Games are supposed to be games, but not a one-way political manifest. There are evil forces like Nazis, Alqaeda, ISIS. Yes, you can make a game where you destroy evil, but making a whole country which political activity is not in line with some other country's political activities

    Nice job Activision! Making the Reds responsible for the Highway of Death American war crime was a genius move! Next time do not forget to feature this island where the Russkies put all their prisoners of war without trial and torture them for years in complete impunity, you know the Guantanamov island!

    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...

    MULTIPLAYER REVIEW

    I’ve played the Multiplayer for almost 30 hours and can confidently say that this game is the sole reason why I will never buy another Call of Duty game ever again.

    The design choices Infinity Ward have made are incomprehensible. Every single new mechanic they've introduced has been an utter disaster. Doors in multiplayer? Mounting your weapon to cover? It's like they played Rainbow Six Siege for 25 minutes and decided to include that game's mechanics without a second thought.

    Every decision they've made in the multiplayer punishes player movement. Between the mounting-your-weapon-to-every-conceivable-piece-of-cover mechanic — giving every player a laser-beam gun so long as they remain motionless, the door mechanic promoting stagnant, chokepoint-y gameplay, and claymores being a level-one unlock, it is impossible to move in the game. Also, because no one is moving, the amount of engagements per game is minuscule compared to other Call of Duty titles.

    I have so many notes that I’m just going to rapid-fire through these.

    The time to kill is ungodly fast.

    The create-a-class system is a convoluted mess.

    The in-game footsteps too loud (again, punishing player movement).

    Piccadilly and Azhir Cave aren’t even maps; they’re torture devices that Infinity Ward have somehow condensed and funnelled into video-game form. They’re so bad that whenever they come up in the rotation, I quit and find a new lobby because there isn’t a map vote system (!).

    But, that’s probably fine, you say. I can always play on the *checks notes* six other new maps. Is that it? To be fair, that number has gone up with the seasons one and two updates, sitting at 13 standard 6v6 maps as of the launch of season two. But, of those 13 maps, five are playable.

    Shipment is a completely broken map — the fact is was released to the public at all is unacceptable AND after the latest "patch" to the spawns, it's STILL broken. In fact, the overall map design is absolutely atrocious. The best maps in the game — Crash and Vacant —are from an older, better Call of Duty game that was released 13 years ago.

    I don't understand how Infinity Ward did it, they’ve made the most derivative, annoying, frustrating, unfun Call of Duty game of all time. Never again, Infinity Ward. Never again will you have another dime out of me. I’ll still play older titles in the franchise, but you’ve singlehandedly driven me from purchasing another Call of Duty game. I am kicking myself for having paid money for this game. Now you couldn’t pay me to play it. Congratulations, and so long.

    TL;DR
    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

    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 of sight, tons of doors, windows, and head-glitching spots... 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.

    I'm so tired of this game. The servers are just unplayable for anyone outside the city. They have minimal and over crowed servers. For example to many east servers and pretty much NO west servers. The servers themselves are just TERRIBLE

    Design of this game sucks, garbage campaign scenario. To much propaganda and racism towards whites.

    Piece of sh*t game and developers. I could've made this game better.

    AAA game, AAA price with non-stop memory and dev errors! Even on the next-gen consoles.

    Get your sh*t together Activision.

    First and last COD game I buy - daylight robbery.

    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.

    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]
