The pillar of the game is a story campaign in which we perform a variety of tasks, both secret missions, where silent operation is required, as well as extensive military operations. While playing, we make use of a modern arsenal of firearms and various gadgets useful on the battlefield.

Game modes

In addition to the story campaign, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare offers a multiplayer mode. It allows for online duels with other players, as well as cooperation in specially prepared operations. Interestingly, the experience gained during the game is common for all modes. It is worth noting that the title s cross-platform gameplay between PCs and consoles.

Technical aspects

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is powered by a new engine, which was created by a Polish branch of Infinity Ward. It guarantees high-quality visuals, which are accompanied by audio layer ing the Dolby ATMOS technology. Moreover, in order to make their work as realistic as possible (also with regard to violence), the authors have established cooperation with Navy SEALs soldiers who, among other things, took part in motion capture sessions.

So Does Battlefield 2042 Only Pretend It's Not About Climate Change?

Battlefield 2042 uses the climate catastrophe and the subsequent refugee crisis as the backdrop for its fictitious conflict – and yet tries to pretend it doesn't. For AAA games, weirdly understood notion of being apolitical has become sanctity.

VG247: 3.5 / 5 by Jeremy Peel

Another Call of Duty that doesn’t really change anyone’s mind about Call of Duty. Whatever’s there that I thought might actually be making a leap was seemingly just good marketing. In that sense, I suppose, it’s been pretty successful. [OpenCritic note: Jeremy Peel and Sherif Saad separately reviewed the campaign (4/5) and multiplayer (3/5). The scores have been averaged.]

VideoGamer: 7 / 10 by Colm Ahern

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's campaign is more throwaway blockbuster than challenging look at conflict, but its mission variety makes for an enjoyable few hours. And even with the disappointing Spec Ops, a wealth of entertaining multiplayer modes makes this a worthwhile addition to any Call of Duty fan's collection.
