Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a true return to form for the franchise after some not-as-good entries in the last years, thanks to a compelling campaign and to a boots on the ground multiplayer.

Although not quite the return to greatness that many fans were hoping for, this reboot of the Modern Warfare series manages to hold its own against the glut of online shooters currently available and offers enough tweaks and revisions to the core gameplay to justify dipping into yet another annual instalment.

Kudos to Infinity Ward for going all out with Modern Warfare. It truly feels like they're back in the driver's seat, making me forget all about Ghosts with an entry grounded in reality and jam-packed with content.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is one of the three best Call of Duty titles to be released within the last eight years. This game is a beautifully crafted tactical collaboration that makes players want to come back for more.

Modern Warfare is an advancement for the series in every way possible, great graphics, intense narrative, and a variety of co-op modes makes it one of the best instalments to date.

As a whole, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare hits all the right marks. The campaign is well done, with some very memorable moments and a decent overall story that'll overshadow some of the weaker enemies and vanilla ending. The multiplayer is as reliable as before, and the new modes provide some fresh fun, while true cross-play automatically makes it the best entry in the series due to the expanded player base. Wrapped in a presentation that provides a good preview of what a next-generation entry could look like, Modern Warfare is a very good entry for series fans who are willing to overlook the currently undercooked Spec Ops mode.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is another fantastic shooter from Infinity Ward, but it's still just a Call of Duty game. If you're a fan of the heights of the franchise, you're sure to have a great time. However, for those hoping for a more daring and innovative leap, there's not much new to see here.

Call of Duty Strikes again. Return to modern era is good choice. Multiplayer is fun, but singleplayer campaign too short.

Infinity Ward made the game that the fans of the series are waiting for. The map design is amazing, and the visuals and the sound effects improved dramatically, all of this made an immersive experience

There is nothing that stands out more in Call of Duty 2019 than its campaign. The excellent use of some characters, the changes based on realism and the accurate pace guarantee one of the best stories in a shooter. Modern Warfare can deliver fun in a complete package, but still has small details in the cooperative mode and has several adjustments to make in the competitive mode, even with some news and changes.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has real potential, but a lackluster campaign and frustrating design decisions make for an experience we've seen done better before.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is not a game to play in this year and send it to the trash when the next one comes. It can satisfy you for a decade with a complete package in multiplayer and more importantly the crossplay option. The storyline is one of the best in the series with an amazing antagonist that makes you very mad! Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and play it immediately!

The campaign is nearly perfect, while the multiplayer and co-op sections are good yet hampered by annoying issues. 2019’s Modern Warfare reboot has a lot going for it. But it also has a few problematic elements that keep it from attaining the highest of honors.

Modern Warfare nicely modifies classic Call of Duty experience, but tells questionable story. To say the least.

Call of Duty is back to its former glory with this Modern Warfare reboot, and is easily the best military shooter out there. The single-player campaign is pure gold, although short as always, and the multi-player that the franchise is know for is back to give you an almost complete package. Future looks very bright for the series.

At one point, it forced me to look through the eyes of a little girl caught in the rubble after a Russian bombing in a town somewhere in the Middle East. Her dead mother right next to her and the screams of people topside is not something that I'll soon forget. Modern Warfare might be a game, but it's worth playing so that you can get out of your comfort zone, even for just a little while.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare refreshes the formula by rooting itself more firmly in realism and adopting a grittier approach to both combat and to its Campaign's story.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare combination of modes is an easy recommendation for long time enthusiasts. However, the campaign feels really short and not up to expectation, and multiplayers modes feel hasty put together and throw around without real consideration of what works and what not.

Crammed with different modes and maps, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare offers extensive multiplayer possibilities. The online action is slower, with emphasis on sound cues and open maps, and the campaign is better than average thanks to mission variety and choreographed house incursions. Despite the PC technical issues, it is a noteworthy reboot.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is another solid entry in the yearly franchise that really freshens up things. The campaign is excellent with Spec-ops being a viable alternative to the Zombies mode from the previous game. The multiplayer however is frustrating to play for series veterans like me who buy the game each year for the multiplayer.
