Over the past few years, the Call of Duty series has gradually faded from the spotlight. Fans have complained about repetitive gameplay and lack of innovation, while the single-player campaign has also been deeply disappointing, leading to many negative reviews.
During Early Access, the overall positive review rate on Steam was 84%
However, this year's release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 has been hailed by fans and media as the best single-player campaign the series has seen in years. It marks the return of linear gameplay and features two engaging, interwoven storylines.
Most media outlets believe that the campaign mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 has returned to the series' peak. Additionally, the game's Early Access version on Steam had a strong start, receiving numerous positive reviews. Its darker and more content-rich storyline has been highly praised.
The new campaign differs significantly from previous ones. First, although its length remains only 8-9 hours, it is longer than other recent campaigns, which helps enrich the narrative.
The new campaign is built entirely from the ground up, featuring brand-new custom scenarios such as snow-covered North Korea. Furthermore, thanks to dynamic character switching, the plot progression feels more natural and fluid, without feeling forced.
Additionally, the character development is excellent, culminating in a satisfying conclusion. This may be the final appearance of the rebooted Modern Warfare sub-series within the Call of Duty franchise, and if so, it certainly makes for a perfect farewell.
