Overall, Modern Warfare 4 is a great game. The sound quality and graphics are a step up from its predecessor. It goes to show that moving on from a previous console generation can make all the difference. It boasts a thrilling campaign that is a far cry in all of the best ways from its predecessors. It also makes for a great sendoff. Additionally, its multiplayer goes hand-in-hand with the fun, making playing against other players the most addictive in a while.

The game is set against the backdrop of a fictional Second Korean War. The storytelling was captivating, delivering an unfiltered showcase of what a blockbuster AAA title should be. While the campaign itself is robust and polished, the familiarity of experiencing Koreans own era and living environment injected an even deeper sense of immersion and engagement. In particular, it is packed with elements that will resonate strongly with Korean players, especially men who have served their mandatory military duty.

With a comprehensive selection of core multiplayer modes, a convincing take on extraction shooters, and the strongest – albeit rushed at times – campaign of this rebooted sub-series, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is a slam dunk from Infinity Ward and the support studios that proves the franchise is at its best when developers are given extra time to cook.

Modern Warfare 4 is the Call of Duty the series needed after a few weaker years. The campaign finally features missions that really stick with you again. The nightclub and the chase for Makarov, in particular, show just how good Infinity Ward still is at tightly directed action. The multiplayer is back to the pace of MW2019 and many times better than the previous game, Black Ops 7. Of course, not every aspect of Modern Warfare 4 is perfect, and as far as I'm concerned, the open-world mission could have been scrapped without any problems. But as a total package, this is the strongest Call of Duty in years and a convincing final installment for Task Force 141.

Modern Warfare 4 is one of the series' better recent campaigns, supported by satisfying gunplay and a variety of missions. It is content-rich and polished, but repetitive objectives and grinding hold it back.

All things come to an end, and Modern Warfare 4 brings a strong conclusion to one of gaming’s longest-running annual franchises. This is one of the series’ tightest and most enthralling campaigns since the 2019 reboot and delivers a high-octane ride, with a noticeable DMZ training mission in the middle that might irk some players. All in all, Modern Warfare 4 brings a strong ending in a new and refreshing setting that will undoubtedly resonate strongly with players.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is a good package when taken as a whole. If you have been waiting for a return to form for CoD campaigns, I believe the single-player here is definitely the best of the rebooted Modern Warfare games. Multiplayer is about as standard as it gets, which may be good for the regular players, but it hasn’t been impressive or surprising for a very long time. In total, Modern Warfare 4 is pretty on par with, or slightly above, Call of Duty releases in the last decade, which isn't a bad thing. It's just not necessarily something worthy of great discussion.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 does what a Call of Duty game should do: it reminds everyone why we keep coming back year after year—despite the frustrations, the cheaters, and the questionable matchmaking.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 had a lot to fix after the last COD release one year ago. Infinity Ward had to deliver and did so in a back-to-basics way. The game is stunning, action-packed, yet grounded in what Modern Warfare stands for. Its story is personal, and the gameplay is tight and refreshing, with lots of believable places that breathe life and will keep you on the edge of your seat. There’s tons of replay value, with some amazing levels that can extend the campaign by a few extra hours. If that’s not enough, DMZ feels like a free, separate game that is likely to see many updates in the future if you’re into fleshed-out extraction shooters. And then there’s the stellar multiplayer that delivers with Kill Block, a mode that could become its own esports platform, where skill stands above the usual “pay-to-win” loadouts from some other modes. While some later levels, especially the snow levels, lack the visual fidelity of the earlier Paris missions, Infinity Ward shows that it can make a beautiful game that is still action-packed and delivers grounded and solid gameplay. If only they could fix that pesky download mess and optimize the install size on consoles to something more reasonable. But once you’re in, NO MORE RULES!

A brilliant campaign and a surprising DMZ mode rescue a package weighed down by a traditional multiplayer rendered frustrating by SBMM, yet built upon solid mechanics. Without a doubt, the best Call of Duty in recent years.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 marks a convincing comeback for Infinity Ward, thanks above all to a spectacular campaign and a solid multiplayer mode, enhanced by the excellent Kill Block. DMZ is an interesting addition, but it’s still too similar to Warzone to fully realize its potential. While it doesn’t revolutionize the formula, MW4 is a well-rounded, entertaining installment that restores confidence in the series’ future.

The Modern Warfare 4 campaign is what Modern Warfare III should have been three years ago. It has all the ear-ringing spectacle you want from a blockbuster shooter, and it isn’t afraid to show what that spectacle costs the people pulling the triggers.
