Modern Warfare 4 feels like Call of Duty at its absolute finest. An intense campaign that is engaging and well-paced, multiplayer that feels like the best in the series and the fantastic DMZ extraction mode.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 delivers a triumphant return for the franchise. Arriving after the frustrating lows of lazy recent entries and misplaced identity shifts, Infinity Ward has restored genuine purpose to the series. Pairing the finest single-player story in over a decade with an expanded DMZ extraction sandbox and razor-sharp gunplay, it stands as the authentic follow-up to 2019. This is the complete package fans have been waiting for.

Modern Warfare 4 isn't perfect, but it's still a fairly cohesive Call of Duty package. Multiplayer is just more multiplayer, which did let me down, but it's bolstered by a thoroughly entertaining campaign and a surprisingly deep extraction offering with DMZ. While it may be another round in the Call of Duty cycle and history may repeat itself, for now, we're so back.

Infinity Ward brings Call of Duty back on track with a spectacular campaign, refined multiplayer, and a deeper, more rewarding DMZ experience. Despite some narrative shortcomings, uneven AI, and occasional repetition, Modern Warfare IV delivers one of the most enjoyable and complete entries in the series in recent years.

Modern Warfare 4 had a tough time on its hands bringing the story into line, but it does an amazing job of just that in a relatively limited runtime.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is a great entry in the popular franchise. With potentially the best campaign the series has had to date and stellar performances from everyone involved, there’s very little that could have meaningfully improved it.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is an excellent action game, but above all, one of the best entries in the franchise, plain and simple. Its campaign is intense, engaging, and well-paced, even if you could argue that it plays things a little too safe, especially given the themes it tackles and what we've seen in previous installments. The multiplayer might just be one of the best in the series.At this point, we can only hope things stay this way until next year's installment.

If it wasn't already clear, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is one of the best installments in the series. With an explosive campaign, fun multiplayer, and a DMZ mode that could be incredibly rewarding with post-launch support, this year's package is among the richest ever and is unlikely to disappoint those looking for a return to glory for Activision's flagship franchise.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 boasts the series most well-rounded experience. Excellent outings for campaign, multiplayer, and the outstanding DMZ mode come together to make for a strong Modern Warfare entry, and possibly the best of the reboot series. Infinity Ward has found their magic again – this is how you evolve a long-running franchise.

This time, after a few weak releases, we’ve once again been treated to a pretty good game that’s great fun in both the single-player campaign and multiplayer, and finally offers a pleasant surprise with the DMZ mode. For a Call of Duty game, it’s turned out to be a great “3-in-1” combo, but let’s remember that when we say “for a CoD”, we mean it in the same way as a quick meal at a fast food joint, rather than a game that can compete for GOTY. People either like it or they don’t, and in small doses, there’s no harm in it!

MW4 ain’t perfect but it gets the fundamentals so right that IW’s conservatism starts looking less like a lack of ambition and more like a much-needed intervention.
