Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Campaign Called Best in Series, Earns 92% Positive Reviews

Journalists and players praise the story, the variety of missions and the story’s finale. Some call the campaign the best in the series, though others criticize its linearity.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 has received enthusiastic early reviews. Players and journalists praise its story, its spectacular missions and the conclusion of its narrative. Some call the campaign the best in the history of the series.

Reviewers particularly note the variety of assignments. Players can expect large-scale battles, tactical operations behind enemy lines and a mission with elements reminiscent of DMZ mode. The relationships between characters, the acting and the farewell to familiar heroes also drew positive feedback.

The game is not without flaws, though. Some reviewers criticize the linear mission design and the limits on player freedom. The campaign consists of 16 missions and takes roughly 6 to 8 hours to complete.

Steam reviews also point to a strong reception. Of the 3,600 user reviews, 92% are positive, and the game’s overall rating is listed as “Very Positive.”

It appears Infinity Ward has managed to renew interest in the story side of Call of Duty. If Modern Warfare 4 does conclude the series’ current storyline, it may end on a high note.
