Modern Warfare Review

As someone who primarily covers Call of Duty each year, it's that time for the final one-year recap & thoughts on Infinity Ward's 2019 CoD Modern Warfare. This won't be a super concise review as you can tell; it's a big collection of opinions on the good and the bad of the game. No doubt many of these points are things I've discussed throughout the year and will be repeating here to summarize and conclude my experience with the game. I think MW took several great steps forward for the franchise, and Warzone was quite the hit, but ultimately the multiplayer gameplay and progression was difficult for me to enjoy.

Like I said later, even being able to go for good times on all the trials would've been enough to meet my expectations.) 16:49 - Trials 17:35 - Spec ops summary 19:07 - Multiplayer gameplay 19:18 - Horrible spawns 22:46 - Map design 24:33 - Common complaints (minimap, killstreaks, ghost & dead silence, mounting & doors, lobbies disbanding, map voting, xp tokens) 27:18 - Rapidly adjusting SBMM 29:58 - Updates & communication, patch note stealth changes 30:37 - Shoot the Ship & Shipment 24/7 fomo 33:43 - Multiplayer progression 34:02 - Seasonal ribbon challenges 35:49 - 155 cap, pointless xp, prestige 38:40 - Summary of xp / challenges 39:10 - Damascus camo 40:30 - Challenge missions 40:45 - Daily & weekly challenges 41:55 - Challenge organization 42:17 - Weapon mastery card &, emblems, obsidian 45:16 - "Mastery challenge" cards 45:55 - Xp / challenge tracking 46:47 - Progression / grind summary 47:26 - Negatives wrap-up --End-- 47:48 - My account progression recap: challenges, stats, etc. 53:40 - Accolades feature 55:09 - Closing thoughts 58:36 - Conclusion -------------------------------------------------------------- S0ur Twitter: https://twitter.com/S0urPatchAdults S0ur Discord Server: https://discord.gg/URWFF58 Website: https://s0ur.tv/
