Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, play it before they ban it - Review | Sausage Roll

The open beta got people excited for what they now are anticipating to be the best Call of Duty game to date. Does Modern Warfare live up to the hype?

[BlackDoomAx]

Banned? Wtf you're talking about?

[Kinglink]

Clickbait at it's finest.

[sinjonezp]

no click bait. Just saying the story is..quote the article "Clean House is where the controversy first started. Killing female civilians, in self defence I might add. It’s harsh but it is done tastefully." (I think the author spelled defense incorrectly) but mmmmm...tastefully??..Well.... we live in an age now where everyone gets mad and upset at every single little thing, they will likely try and have it banned. The dawn of the modern internet has created monsters.

[tombfan]

Just here to say ... Sinjonezp's comment is gold. I find it also true that we have become whiney bitc** <3

[xTonyMontana]

Defense is the American version of Defence. Both are acceptable.

[sinjonezp]

Also guys, why dislike the comment? Is it not true that we are in a state where every little thing is criticized? Even a minority group can be just as vocal as a large group. The internet gives EVERYONE the ability to have an opinion? And with that opinion comes no recourse unless you are a noteworthy individual. I love the fact that "we" have the voice and the social aspect of the internet has provided us with a great platform. However, everything is under a quantum scope. Look at the NBA. One man said one thing and an entire country is against the NBA because of it. Its such a slippery slope and with gaming, it is viewed significantly different. We watch movies and TV shows all the time with graphic violence non stop. Was watching the new Watchmen show on HBO and cop gets shot up by an automatic weapon, a man is hung from a tree. But let there be any kind of content in gaming, its an uproar. Those individuals who seem to think graphic violence in video games is "too much" are simply stuck in a mindset SET by the fear for children in the early 90's. A game like COD is clearly for a mature audience and upon starting the game. The game reminds you as soon as you click on start that this contains graphic violence do you wish to continue? "Return to home screen or continue" Its on the box, its in the game, but that demographic will still cry and say our kids are this and that. We could go on and on about this topic but the bottom line is ever since certain communities have been speaking out continuously and the Rabat trolls, haters, conservatives, liberal fanatics, etc etc will continue to hijack the narrative and create fear leading to games like this possibly getting Banned. I myself have been enjoying the first few missions, i like the fact that you can die within two shots; requiring the player to utilize the lean technique and the story is good so far. As much as i enjoy this game, as well as other gamers.....it will be just as much if not more hating this type of content. I've been gaming since the late 80s with Contra and Tecmo Bowl..So this is just words from a real game head.

Spread love not fear

[Kumakai]

It’s not click bait, they are just saying that the campaign is pretty controversial like the “no Russian” mission in mw2. Its also super realistic so they are just making the point that it’s pretty heavy and divisive.

[kparks]

A 4.9/5 I'm a huge duty fan but you gotta be shittin me no Fn way lol

[Christopher]

sinjonezp: "Spread love not fear."

Also sinjonezp: "The dawn of the modern internet has created monsters."

[sprinterboy]

Obviously with a name like sausage roll.

[yoshatabi]

Imagine getting your feelings hurt because of that scene. Lmao. People are too damn sensitive nowadays

[Android]

Sadly how the world is going he could have a point.

Sinjonezp

I think it's more than the internet that's created monsters. Check out Jordan Peterson on post modernism and on Neo marxism. Universities and our education systems are to blame for this mass hysteria of being offended by even the air we breathe.

[FiLTHY ESKiMO]

There are send in there that are going to oiss a lot of people of.

[goldwyncq]

Well it was written in Australia...

[Kumakai]

I don’t think it will get banned but I think they are referring to how controversial and realistic the campaign is.

[DragoonUS]

No!

[CDbiggen]

It's a shame that what is probably a good game is owned by Activision.

Also, don't waste your time reading the article - it's just a rushed playthrough of the campaign. You can't consider it a review.

[ufo8mycat]

"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) is possibly the greatest first-person shooter game currently available. It currently is the best game released so far this year which makes it a strong contender for Game of The Year."

Loses all credibility right there.
Not saying its a bad game, but when you use "greatest FPS available" "currently best game released this year", sorry you lose credibility.

[OldGuyStillGaming]

I played it for about 5 hours of the campaign and it really is amazing.
The best COD in many years, quite possibly the best one yet.
The multiplayer was also fun but I only tried out a few maps.

[kparks]

Yeah but a 4.9/5 lol get outta here!

[OnlyThoseOnTheFence]

Good or not the game still suffers from a whole lot of "more of the same". I liked Infinite Warfare better. Great universe, great characters, creative weapons, and no bro-beards or handlebar mustaches. This is just another Generic Shooter 2019

[Kavorklestein]

First COD I bought since Advanced Warfare. I skipped Ghosts, the story seemed stupid on that game when my friend was playing it.

This game, however...
Let me just say sure, perhaps you've played shooters before, but this game raised the bar of Military/Tactical presentation and blew the door off the hinges. I have not been more excited to pay full price for A COD game Since the Days of MW2, WAW, BLOPS 2 and MW3. This is the big one, and as far as I'm concerned it deserves all the hype it has gained, AND THEN SOME.

The sound design and actual tech going behind the scenes must have been a btich to develop.
Infinity Ward has Raised the bar and is now the Yardstick I will probably put all other shooters up against. To think they did this all, and somehow managed to keep it running sooooooooo smoothly.

Seriously... Wow.
To all the people who don't think it has GOTY chops, or that it's not supposed to be mentioned in those conversations, It IS that damn good.

[Benficaman]

Why? Just because its call of duty?

[Dom_Estos]

It's like this with everything now. People going well over the top about something just because it has a bit of violence or controversy in it, harkening back to "the good old days". Just look at the latest Joker film as a perfect example. Mediocre shite that's being blown up to be the second coming.

[iplay1up2]

I just bought it. It was on a display at target and nearly empty. I just happened to see it and had to buy it. The new game engine they built from the ground up for this is amazing. My question is, how do you know this isn't one of the best FPS ever made? They don't say it is, they say POSSIBLY BE.

Gears 5 had a fantastic campaign, and the graphics were over the top! This looks like it will be even better than that. My X1X is getting a ton of use. This Call of Duty is the first one in years I have been excited to play, and have purchased in 5 years! The install is taking forever. 133.67 Gigs!

[Kavorklestein]

So like I see what you are saying.
I for one, think the setting, action, Story overalll, gunplay bis

[mark3214uk]

anyone on the fence about getting it, the campaign is really good, im a 3rd through it so far and enjoying it

[Wasabi]

@Mark

It's downloading right now, I'm actually pretty excited. It looks fantastic from what I've seen so far.

It's been an age since I bought a COD game, but the return of the campaign and the real world setting sealed the deal for me.

[3-4-5]

* It's Australia.......they would Ban Barney the dinosaur. Awesome Country...Awesome people....Archaic rules about video games that make their leaders look like they are from the 1940's.....It's embarrassing really....But that is the reason for the title.

[InUrFoxHole]

Anybody else's xbox one x keep shutting down playing this?

[Sidewinder-]

Buy-Bait lol

[Sophisticated_Chap]

I've seen reviews that say MW doesn't live up to BO4, which I find hillarious. BO4 had no campaign, and their biggest game mode, Blackout, is a ripoff of PUBG. I think I might get MW, since it looks like they've checked all the boxes that I've wanted for a while, and they've executed very well with the development of this game.

[william_cade]

Great publicity. I'll play the forbidden fruit.

[Flare149]

I've only played the first few missions myself, but so far the campaign really has been something else. Without more playtime I don't know that I'd say 4.9/5, but so far they've done a really good job of capturing the grey and gritty parts of modern conflict. Honestly, it's like they're acknowledging that CoD4 was just conventional, WWII era CoD but with modern guns, but this is actual modern conflict where a lot of the fighting happens in the darkness and in the streets where it's difficult to discern friend from foe. It makes a lot of the early levels pretty tense, as you're looking around wondering if there's someone hiding in the darkness behind a shelf, or if the guy in the hoodie is just a civilian or someone armed.

[Ninjamonkey82]

Just completed the campaign on Veteran, cba with the no hud veteran option yet. Imo best Cod single player ever story gameplay the entire mix, Started 9:30am just finished going on 20 to 10pm, long campaign for a cod game that. My heads ringing lol, Game is edge off the seat stuff. I have steered clear of cod campaign seen Cod waw. This game will be up for deserved awards this year won't be because the hype train pulled it, for me one off the shooters off this gen.

[Gwiz]

I agree,this campaign is pretty solid and has great moments in it.

[Richhard1]

The website is a hot potato of advertising.

[Bourne414]

A whole day to download. My favorite line.

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

I will rent it tomorrow and see what's the fuss about.
