When it's good, it's great. When it's bad it's frustrating. Everything in between is, well, Call of Duty.
Tom's Guide: 3.5 / 5 by Robert Carnevale
Though it probably won't win new fans, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a polished dose of more of the same high-octane FPS action that series loyalists have come to expect.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Description
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is an FPS released by Activision Blizzard, representing a best-selling series developed since 2003. The title is a reboot of the Modern Warfare sub-series, the first part of which debuted in 2007. While the versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were developed by Infinity Ward, the PC edition was prepared by Beenox.
Plot
The main plot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare takes place in 2019. However, some missions are retrospective and take place several years earlier. The players take on the role of three main characters - a CIA operator, a British policeman and a femal guerilla leader - who make a desperate attempt to find a stolen cargo of chemical weapons. During the missions we visit various corners of the world - from metropolises like London and St. Petersburg to the Middle East in the fictitional state of Urzykistan.
Mechanics
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the action is shown from FPP. 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 supports 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 supporting 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.
