What are the reactions to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 campaign?
The campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 shifts the action to South Korea. Price battles Makarov, while a new threat known as “The Archer” reaches its peak—just as war erupts between North and South Korea. It’s a gripping political and military thriller with some open levels that hint at the upcoming DMZ mode. While the campaign of Black Ops 7 was among the most criticized aspects of Call of Duty last year, the opposite is true for Modern Warfare 4.
A quick glance at the top posts in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 subreddit reveals just how enthusiastic players are about the campaign. User Havkas called it the “best campaign since the original trilogy” and explained that it plays “like a perfect blend of the modern installments and the original trilogy.” This sentiment is echoed throughout the subreddit, as fans see the campaign as a return to form for the Modern Warfare series after some rather weak campaigns in recent years. In one comment, user Resting-Tiger even goes so far as to say the game has “storytelling on par with the original MW2” and compares it favorably to one of the best Call of Duty campaigns of all time.
The reviews for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 campaign are also positive. IGN praised it in its review, stating that “consistently strong missions skillfully showcase the large number of characters,” reflecting the opinion of many players who have already played the game. While the release of a new Call of Duty always generates excitement, it’s already clear that Modern Warfare 4, at a time when the series has been experiencing a slight dip in performance, has the potential to win over many players.
The official release date for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is October 23rd, but this only applies to the physical version and the traditional multiplayer modes. Those who pre-order the game digitally can play the campaign now and will gain access to the DMZ extraction mode on October 20th.
