    Amazing campaign! Fun to play, and provides an enticing story that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time! Infinity Ward have outdone themselves and my own expectations.

Infinity Ward have outdone themselves and my own expectations. This game brings new life to the franchise. Multiplayer seems to have been built from the ground up with great experiences and the addition of crossplay. For anyone that is mad about its portrayal of Russians, stop complaining. Call of duty has always shown the Russians as the enemy, so why must this change now? It's a game made by an American company so it is not going to release a game where America is bad, which makes complete sense! If you want a game where America is the 'aggressor ' go have a Russian company make it instead!!!!! Don't review bomb a great game because you can't deal with it 'insulting ' you. Expand

    A great game with the worst designed maps in Call of Duty history.

    The maps are designed for two things.
    1: Spawn trap.
    2: Camp.

    Thhis game is desperately trying to be Battlefield and fails doing so.

    Honestly,the game is solid it needs some changes(like the issue with camping,maps,and callouts)the campaign alone is worth 60$,this game just nees to be played slower than other past CoD's

    I like this game. The maps are hard to memorize because there are so many angles and spots to camp. After all, they said It was a more "Realistic" game. I understand that real-world war crimes are not okay to put into a game.

The multiplayer is fun with friends. Otherwise not really enjoyable and not much action going on if you're not playing TDM or DOM with 20 players. I think this is a different and unique call of duty. and I rate this game a 9 out of 10. Expand

    One of the best Call of Duty of all time: Insane graphics, dynamic movement, ballistics, etc. It's a masterpiece.

    Infinity Ward did really well with this one, the combat system is really well-made, a new engine that changed everything. Despite some flaws like Survival exclusive to PS4. The introductions of the new game modes, bring variety to the Multiplayer. The gun customization

Im scrolling through these reviews and see little kids complaining about the dynamic maps because they are used to the 3 lane bullshįt. I also see a lot Russians complaining about the way the game portrays them and i will say. The Russians are evil in the game but only the ones being terrorists. In every aspect this game is amazing Expand

Игра, к сожалению не стоит своих денег, максимум 40 долларов, так же нет смысла особо потеть в мультиплеере - все равно через год будет другая игра. Так же заметил то что со времен MW2 мало что изменилось в мультиплеере и это по большой части очень хорошо. Expand

    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 is a pretty good game. Campaign is fun which I can't say about Call od duty games released in the past 5 or so years.

    I don't care for multiplayer, so I'm not rating that part. Other shooters released recently disappointed me (Wolfenstein Youngblood, Control, Gears 5, Rage 2, Far Cry New Dawn) so I'm glad Modern Warfare came out - it's far from the best action games I've played but

    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!

    Just another check cashing space filler. The “campaign” is short, forgettable and formulaic. The multiplayer is the same as ever if you liked it 5 years ago you will like it now but 60 bucks for more of the same sucks. Should have gone with my gut and passed on this.

    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.

    Really great campaign. That being said the multiplayer really rewards camping so that takes a lot of the fun out of it.

    A very high attention to detail that I have never seen in previous Call of Duty installments. The campaign is a breath of fresh air from all the futuristic storylines, and multiplayer stays fun and competitive with cross play!

    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]
