Key information
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 concludes the reboot series, focusing on Price’s revenge for Soap’s death and a conflict on the Korean Peninsula. The campaign features diverse mission designs, ranging from intense nightclub pursuits to open-world survival scenarios.
The campaign introduces varied mechanics, including close-quarters combat with blocking and executions, and open-area exploration where players scavenge for resources and solve puzzles. The DMZ mode emphasizes a 'search, fight, and extract' loop, requiring players to manage gear, hire operators, and upgrade bases using collected loot.
The reviewer praises the mission variety and the tension in Price’s storyline. However, they note that the narrative conclusion feels rushed, particularly regarding the antagonist played by Mads Mikkelsen, whose character development is limited despite a strong performance.
The game launches on October 23 across all platforms. While the DMZ mode currently leans toward PvE, the reviewer anticipates that player familiarity with maps may shift this dynamic, adding further risk and complexity to the extraction experience.
