Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision. Serving as the sixteenth overall installment in the Call of Duty series, as well as a reboot of the Modern Warfare sub-series, it was released on October 25, 2019, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
The game takes place in a realistic and modern setting. For the first time in the franchise's history, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare supports cross-platform multiplayer. Activision has also confirmed that the franchise's traditional season pass had been scrapped and loot boxes removed, enabling the company to distribute free post-launch content to all players.[The game received a mixed pre-release reception for its mature subject matter, but nonetheless was released to positive reviews.

Basically, I am the one of that "old guys" you mentioned, who is playing COD series for a long time. And I am from Russia, moreover - I was born in the USSR. I started playing from the very first game in 2003 and only missed the ones that came out for consoles, Black Ops 4 and WW2. I've always loved this moral unity with players from all over the world in defeating the Nazis or a fictional enemy from the future. I wasn't upset that I fought against the Russians in Modern Warfare - according to the scenario in Russia there was a civil war and the government was nuts. I perfectly understand that for good scenario about the war you need a strong enemy. It would be strange to play an American game in which the US is attacked, for example, by New Zealand (with all due respect to this country!). Good, strong and familiar enemies will always be Russia, China or some terrorists. I have nothing against it, I would even play an "evil Russian" in sucj a game for laughs. And I would have voiced him many times better than the unfortunate actors who are hired over and over again for this series of games. You have no idea how stupid they sound to the Russian ear. I perfectly understand that to me many will answer something like "Russia committed many war crimes in Syria, the President of Russia is bad, blah blah blah". I've heard it many many times. But what pissed me off in this game is that Russia, it is unclear why, attributed to known war crimes of other countries, such as the famous Highway of Death (committed by the Americans), hanging civilians on cranes (committed by the Arabs), the use of chemical weapons (committed by the Germans, Italians, Japanese, Americans and Arabs). I'm surprised that the game did not include scenes in which Russian soldiers cut off the heads of civilians on camera (you all saw it done by the ISIS). I wouldn't have any objections if the scenario was about Russia invading the US and we were all having fun with the good old skirmishes between the Russian airborne troops and some rednecks in the southern states. I very strongly doubt that there is a second bottom in this game and writers, thus, criticize their own country for accomplishment of these crimes. I can hardly imagine that any country would released a game about the second world war, in which the Americans or the British staged a coup in Austria in the 40s, would shoot the Jews, and the blame would be on the Danes or Finns. But, I understand that the script requires it. What does the average viewer know about the conflict in the East? That there are terrorists, there are national minorities fighting for independence, war crimes are committed, and Russian troops still wear absolutely not suitable to the climate uniforms from the 90s. Want to make a blockbuster for such a viewer? Mix these superficial stereotypes all together and you get COD MW 2019. And we, the Russians, again to blame. And General Barkov wears the epaulettes of a Colonel. I'll go play multiplayer COD MW2 to calm down. No hard feelings to any of the nations, I love all of you. I just hate the fact that politicians and propaganda have infiltrated our sweet escapist world of computer games.

Well, as russian myself there's actually a shitstorm about this game in Russia. First of all, Sony simply banned this game in Russia a few months before release. It wasn't government, it was Sony itself. They said that game has a lot of questionable content and they want to stay away from it if goverment notices it. Everybody laughed at Sony then and hated them for basically self-censorship. But... Game came out and actually a lot of people now hate it and say that Sony was absolutely right. Localisation tried to soften things up (for example there's no word 'russians' in russian localisation, they translated it as 'Barkov's people'), but it didn't help at all. This isn't funny клюква we had from, for example, Black Ops 1, it's pure propaganda about Syria. It's a shame because I wanted to buy this game exactly for 'gray morale', but it seems like game simply doesn't have it. Russians are pure evil in MW2019. Not 'terrorists' like in CoD4, but simply russian army. Shame. EDIT: Looking at comments now I thinks it's pretty interesting how many russian viewers you have! Keep up the good work man!

[@agentlinrov1474]

Not all of the Russian Army are bad guys. It's those that serve under General Barkov that are. I mean, Kamarov is an ally to the CIA after Barkov is eliminated and Nikolai (a Russian) hates Barkov for giving the Russian people a bad name. In all fairness, I did kind of see it as normal, but not to the extent that it is. Many of the Russians are doing their job and since Gen. Barkov is in command at that time, he wouldn't discipline them from doing war crimes because he wants to. Hell, in Multiplayer, I like the Russian Spetsnaz Operators because they look cool and the ones who don't really support Barkov's methods and only support the Russian people. Rodion is my favorite and I want to get him for Multiplayer.

Nobody is going to make a fuss about a game where you kill nazis, because everyone knows that nazis suck. With modern setting and countries it is not as easy. And this whole story was a bad move on a part of Infinity ward, because now this game weaponised russian media, who use this game as an example of US propaganda.

This game doesn’t have that. Instead you have a bunch of forgettable missions with forgettable side characters that while I can tell they at least tried to do something, they ended up forgetting what made the old ones good, and so we’re stuck with this.

1:05, The "Infinity Ward Team" that you think about, the one that developed CoD1, CoD2, CoD4, and Modern Warfare 2 actually left for the most part after MW2 and founded a new Team called "Respawn Entertainment", know for their two Titanfall Games (Titanfall2 had one of the best levels in FPS history and the story was pretty neat too) and Apex Legends. Their next game will be "Star Wars: Fallen Order". The Team that developed MW2019 is, for the most part, a new one. MW3 which people think is made by these guys was made by Infinity Ward (Singleplayer), Sledgehammer Games (Multiplayer) (Also developed CoD:AW and CoD:WW2 later), and Raven Software (developed all DLC content). So the only two games that this studio ever developed by themselves (for the most part) are CoD: Ghosts and CoD: Infinite Warfare, arguably some of the worst CoDs ever. IW is pretty good in updating the Graphics-Engine and bring new mechanics (Ghosts introduced sliding, fast vaulting and a more fluent gameplay. But these guys are not great in Multiplayer Design and especially not Map-Design.

@@giorgialadashvili4771 Offcourse it happened before to some degree in every major conflict, all other the world, with every involved nation possible, you simp. It's the over the top cartoonish moustache twirling makes it gold. Also, chechnya. Better look up what chechens and their supporting "civs" did with prisoners and other opposing folk.

Eugene Dalinger As a Chechen myself it's true, war crimes were everywhere, especially executions of POWs

The campaign really did bring emotion from me like Picidelly and Clean House, something about Picidelly just made me feel powerless to try and save the civilians, civilians are always in the campaign and die, and it was only after Picidelly I felt that way because it becomes the norm after that. Clean house was weird to me cause the animations they put in the characters if you shoot them a certain way, they actually still move around and try to reach for there weapons again if that first shit isn’t a kill shot. But the second house raid again that feeling was gone cause they just pushed the shock value too hard

I've been binge watching all your reviews on the games I know and love, mostly classics like Half Life, or other late 1990s and early 2000s FPS. It's been really fun and interesting. But you really made me laugh with your Sean Connery impression. 😂

to quote jim sterling himself, "It's a very well made game that I kinda despise".

[@civilwarfare101]

CoD really needs some kind of break at this point.
