    Great game, best COD since MW3! No idea why the rating is so low from users. Campaign is very good, could be a little longer. Multiplayer is fun, wish the maps were a little better, and there was more maps. All in all this game is very good, 9/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve only managed to get about 4 missions into the campaign so this review is based on what I’ve played so far. This game is not your typical call of duty game. Both in gameplay and in story. This game probably has the most controversial story ever. And it shows when you see the opening cutscene when the suicide bomber comes out of the van. Then comes a story about trying to get white phosphorus out of the hands of terrorists. From what I’ve played so far the game plays smoothly, though I couldn’t play multiplayer. The only problems I noticed was that I couldn’t start the campaign when I first loaded the game because it said I needed campaign pack 2 despite having it installed. My Xbox also crashed the first time playing campaign. Then, a few times while playing I got signed out of my Xbox halfway through missions.… Expand

    I’m having a great time with this especially having come off Ghost Recon Breakpoint. The slower more tactical style suits me compared to other COD titles. Runs well and no serious bugs so far. Can’t believe I’m saying this but good work Activision.

    Best CoD in years! People giving it low scores are just haters and have nothing better to do than spam metacritic with bad scores. Fun gunplay, audio is superb, time to kill is spot on and graphics are amazing. Campaign is dark and gritty like it should be, multiplayer is the best in years and Spec ops is fun and more added value for you dollar. I highly recommend the game.

    Very good campaign and very well put together story wise. Love the multiplayer just hope they add more guns in the future. Ignore all these junk reviews. It’s been stated that this game is set in a fictional universe. They can pull names and places from real life and use them to make a story. Does not have to match up with our history. All in all a very well done game. Big step up from BO4

    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.

    I am playing Call of Duty since the release of Black Ops but I was jumping on to Battlefield 1 after CoD was getting repetitive.
    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

    * 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.

    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]
