PC Gamer – 8/10
“I can smell the piles of Activision money burned to make Modern Warfare look, sound, and animate this good. And it was worth it, because arcadey shooting has never felt more forceful.
“The campaign shines when it focuses on individual conflicts. There’s still plenty of military jargon spoken over satellite images before missions, but it’s generally preceded by cutscenes with characters interacting like people. The greater geopolitical chess match is relegated to background noise in what is, essentially, a revenge thriller.” – Morgan Park [Full review]
GamesRadar+ – 4/5
“It’s less Shock and Awe, and more contemplative overall; more precise and more consistent in its creative vision, direction, and execution than its spiritual predecessor. Modern Warfare doesn’t feel like a collection of missions stitched together, but a desperate race against time.
“It’s a fun and frenetic shooter that delivers in all of the ways that you’d hope and expect it too.” – Josh West [Full review]
