Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Do you like warfare? Do you like it when it’s modern? If so, do I have the game for you. Answer the call of duty and get ready to join in the fun with this reboot of the much beloved sub-series as we take another dive into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Follow series mainstay Captain John Price into the breach once more, dear friends.

The Gameplay

This is a pretty straightforward shoot ‘em up title. That being said, it is an exceptionally good one. With a large selection of weapons available in the campaign alone, there is a lot to see and do with many unique environments. Within this space, the game flourishes as a brilliant example of game design. The controls are tight and responsive, making it a true delight to play.

The gameplay is similar to that of games like Battlefield 4 or ARMA III but exchanges the vertical scope for much greater attention to detail.

The Campaign

The story is, seemingly, pretty different from its original which I have to say is a bonus; there is no reason to be playing the same game again. The story follows a few characters as they work to keep the western world safe from terrorists and freedom fighters. There are tense moments in this that are portrayed excellently by the characters. Without spoiling too much, there are a lot of likeable characters in this genuine and intriguing story that will keep you glued to the screen from start to finish. There are a couple of specific “Night time” missions and they are absolutely fantastic. I truly enjoyed them.

The Look

This game is stunning, I cannot stress this enough. All the characters, cutscenes, the environments and the weapons all look incredible. This game has an unmissable polish present in every scene, providing moments where I forgot I was playing a game and thought it was still a high res cutscene.

The voice acting to accompany the excellently animated character models was nothing short of fantastic. There are picturesque, near movie-like moments throughout.

The Multiplayer

The multiplayer in this game has been absolutely knocked out of the park. The huge battlegrounds make for an excellent place to partake in the Battle Royal style game, like Fortnite and Player Unknown Battlegrounds, that we have come to love.

The attention to detail and the size of the maps provides a truly fantastic depth to its gameplay. In this mode, the verticality seen in games like Battlefield 4 comes into full view and you are really allowed to experiment with how you want to achieve your mission, regardless of the game mode.

Pros:

• Awesome Story
• Fantastic Visuals
• Great Gameplay
• Excellent Multiplayer

Cons:

• Story was a little short
