Multiplayer introduces a revised gunplay system with extensive weapon customization, a Realism mode that removes the HUD, a Ground War mode supporting over 100 players, and a 2v2 Gunfight mode. Post-launch, the game received the free-to-play battle royale mode Warzone. The traditional season pass was replaced with free content updates delivered through seasonal battle passes.
About the story
A CIA officer loses a shipment of chemical weapons during a covert operation in Eastern Europe when unknown hostiles intercept his convoy. The following day, suicide bombers affiliated with the terrorist organization Al-Qatala attack London. British SAS Captain John Price, CIA operative Alex, and Urzikstan Liberation Force leader Farah Karim join forces to track down the stolen chemicals and confront both the terrorists and a Russian general whose occupation has destabilized the fictional Republic of Urzikstan for decades. As alliances shift and the true origin of the chemical theft is revealed, the team finds itself fighting on multiple fronts. Farah struggles against both foreign occupation and extremism in her homeland, while Alex must decide how far he will go outside official channels. Price works to assemble a coalition capable of stopping the weapons before they can be deployed against civilians.

Critic Reviews
TechQuila
By Rahul MajumdarCall of Duty: Modern Warfare marks a celebratory return to form for Infinity Ward and Activision, as it successfully pumps new blood into this classic franchise. While the single-player campaign could have been longer for my money's worth, I'm content with the overly stylized storytelling, over-the-top, yet realistic visuals and most of all - fun gameplay.
Vamers
By Edward SwardtCall of Duty: Modern Warfare is enjoyable, but it is not a must play title. Despite gorgeous visuals, it suffers narratively and features ageing gameplay that simply pales in comparison to the enhancements the series has culminated with in Black Ops 4.

By Anthony MannOverall Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a good title that is marred by the expectations that the Modern Warfare name brings with it.

By Amerigo CirelliAfter a long epic in front of the screen that cost me the whole weekend, I can only notice one thing: the real COD is back. I haven't played a franchise title for years with a single player campaign so immersive and exciting that I think it's a good starting point for what could be a new trilogy. The multiplayer is no shortage Modern Warfare is promoted with honors. Congratulations Infinity Ward! Let a new era of prosperity begin for the series!
