Critic Reviews for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4
With high production values and an understanding of what made - and makes - Call of Duty great, Modern Warfare 4 is a much-anticipated, and much-needed, return to form.
Multiplayer may not quite hit the mark, but a great campaign ensures Modern Warfare 4's place as one of Call of Duty’s better recent entries.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s DMZ mode is delightfully high-tension without getting too sweaty, and a strong addition to the growing list of worthwhile extraction shooters.
Modern Warfare 4 is the bar that this series should regularly aspire to, and a reminder that Call of Duty benefits when it actually tries to change.
Modern Warfare 4 wraps up the series with several shocking moments and ends on a high note.
Whether you should invest in the first CoD on a Nintendo platform for over a decade comes down to the old Switch port chestnuts: Do you own another platform, and how much do you value portability? Call of Duty veterans who have followed closely its highs and lows over the last decade could probably knock a point off the score below; you likely won't be as wowed by MW4's sheer spectacle, but you should definitely play it somewhere.For anyone with a Switch 2 who's been waiting a long time to answer the Call, though, this is an excellent demonstration of why this crusty series still matters to so many. It's a bold, bombastic shooter, and it's now running very well on Nintendo hardware, day-and-date with other platforms. Oorah, indeed.
It's not the flawless return to form I'd hoped for, and its multiplayer still has a few screws loose, but between a campaign that gives Price a worthwhile send-off and a DMZ mode that's dangerously good at making me stay for that "one more run" mentality, Infinity Ward has reminded me why this franchise was such a big part of my gaming years in the first place.
And being able to play at 60 fps in multiplayer, with cross-play and players on other consoles, proves that, in all other aspects, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 delivers. It has exceeded my expectations.
