The verdict
A cinematic, brutal campaign many call the best Modern Warfare story since 2019, but it's cutscene-heavy and short, with launcher and RT/DLSS issues. Skip if you want long gameplay.
Great for
Modern Warfare fans who want a gritty, cinematic story campaign
Main risk
Short, cutscene-heavy campaign with launcher and access problems; no multiplayer yet
