Those were some heavy-hitting stuff that would numb anyone invested in the franchise from any form of emotional reaction onwards. Everyone felt that tug in their heartstrings when they saw General Shepherd unload his Magnum onto the player and Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley in Modern Warfare 2 or John “Soap” MacTavish succumbing to his injuries in the third instalment of the original series. While we are littered with countless first-person shooter games in the market, very few have managed to invoke such emotional attachment to its characters like Call of Duty’s Modern Warfare series do. How does this year’s Modern Warfare size up to it? Pretty darn close. I’ve always been a proponent for good lore and in my opinion, one of the best FPS campaigns in the past years have always been Respawn’s Titanfall 2. The guys at Infinity Ward heard your prayers and have delivered one of the most enjoyable Call of Duty games to date with a campaign mode that’ll put some Hollywood military blockbusters to shame. 2019’s retelling of Modern Warfare delivers on all fronts. So to those who were worried whether this 2019 reboot of sorts would live up to the legacy which many gamers regard as the gold standard when it comes to military shooters, I say this: You can calm your tits. Genre: HOOORAH! RATTATATATATAT!!!! RELOADING! BOOMMM! BRRRRRRTTTTT! “RPG!!!”ÂĬompared to other present-day military shooter franchises, Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare series has always excelled in delivering an evocative story, solid gameplay mechanics, and immersive multiplayer in one tight package.
