I’ve spent a week since launch putting together our CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE review. I’ve played the game on public servers, ranking up alongside the common gamer with the latest patch installed. Now, after having completed the campaign, grinding through a big chunk of multiplayer, and experiencing what’s currently available in co-op, I’m finally ready to share and justify my thoughts. …
-
Overhauled visual and sound design.
-
Guns feel incredible.
-
Campaign production value and pacing.
-
2v2 Gunfight is fantastic.
-
Cross-progression and optional cross-play.
-
Free maps and additional DLC.
-
Easy to have fun for 100+ hours.
-
Post-launch cosmetic microtransactions are coming.
-
No battle royale or real equivalent.
-
Shocking campaign loses edge.
-
Co-op is unpolished and not what is expected from "Spec Ops."
-
Multiplayer encourages camping playstyle, while punishing aggression.
-
Demands refinement with patches or the potential sequel.
