Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 doesn't just offer the best extraction shooter with DMZ, but also the best first-person shooter this console generation.
Modern Warfare 4 is a can’t-miss entry in the franchise, and a near total package. This is why you play Call of Duty.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Review - A Solid Tactical Regroup
Modern Warfare 4 is one of the best Call of Duty releases in years. A brilliant campaign, exceptional gunplay and a welcome evolution of the third-mode formula with DMZ make this an easy recommendation. Where it shows tiredness in the annual formula, it picks it back up again with solid foundations on what makes these shooters appeal to the masses.
Read our Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 review to see why Infinity Ward’s epic campaign, DMZ, and multiplayer deliver an epic return to form for the series.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is clearly a step forward compared to last year's installment. The implementation of a campaign with a more human—and less experimental—narrative focus on the Korean front, coupled with the open-structure mission design and meticulously crafted weapons simulation, gives the title its own identity within a franchise that seemed to have stagnated.

Modern Warfare 4 manages to feel fresh, but safe. Standalone, but familiar. The modern era of Call of Duty is a bit weird, but MW4 is a great multiplayer shooter for the few weeks you’ll play it.
Modern Warfare 4 is fun, but there’s a surprising weak link in the trifecta of Campaign, Multiplayer, and DMZ.
