    Too much propaganda:( The developers show the Russians as cruel and soulless Nazis. I am not Russian, but even it was painful for me to watch how the developers scoffed at Russia and the Russian army.

    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

    On every release the single player mode gets more disgusting. Who are the writers? They just took US war crimes as an inspiration and switch their role. What's the need of what? They should learn from Battlefield.

    Почитал комментарии... И смотрите что заметил:

    - Западные игроки пишут, что игра понравилась и русские зря злятся, типа это фикция и они это типа понимают. На них не действует пропаганда короче, молодцы

    - Украина хором пишет, что наконец-то этих москалей показали такими, какие они есть, ТОЛЬКО на них работает пропаганда ;)
    но от них я ничего другого и не ждал, они там наверное оргазмируют на телевизоры от любой фразы про злую Россию

    - Русские отреагировали самым естественным образом, почти всем не понравилась идея Activision сделать из Российской армии войска ЭсЭс, Но некоторые "русские" откровенно признаются в ненависти к своей стране. Наверное промытые мутанты какие-нибудь, но точно не русские

    Я вспомнил свои эмоции, когда я играл в Ghost Recon Wildlands. Я там стрелял в боливийцев и вообще ни разу не воспринимал их как настоящую армию, понимал, что это игра и фикция. Там кстати эту игру забанили.

    P.S. Dear friends, Russian army doesn't kill kids and civilians.
    Russian criminals do, yes. We are putting them down as soon as they raise their heads out of their animal caves.
    Entire Russian Army? - never, and this is dumb idea to spread this BS all over the world.    … Expand

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.    … 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.

    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]
