Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (CODMWPS4) has arrived, and it’s a game that demands your attention. This review dives deep into the experience, analyzing the single-player campaign, multiplayer modes, and overall polish of this reimagining of the iconic series. I’ve logged countless hours with CODMWPS4, and I’m ready to share my honest impressions.

Modern Warfare on PS4 offers a compelling mix of classic Call of Duty gameplay with modern enhancements. The single-player campaign is a gripping narrative, filled with intense set pieces and morally gray decisions. The multiplayer is incredibly diverse, featuring a variety of maps, game modes, and weapons to keep players engaged for hours. The inclusion of the SP-R 208 Marksman rifle and the AS-VAL Assault Rifle in Season Six’s Battle Pass adds an exciting layer to the already rich gameplay experience. The new maps introduced in Season Six – Mialstor Tank Factory, Broadcast, Verdansk Riverside, and Station – offer a welcome change of pace, providing diverse tactical options.

Season Six’s integration of Farah and Nikolai, two Operators seasoned by war, brings a welcome depth to the already impressive roster of playable characters. Their presence and the updated gameplay modes significantly improve the overall experience.

One of the most notable features is the integration of the Metro system in Verdansk, allowing for quick traversal across the map, a significant upgrade that keeps the action flowing and reduces downtime. This feature, combined with the new Blueprints for various weapons and fresh Operator Skins, keeps the game feeling fresh and engaging even after extended play.

Graphically, Modern Warfare on PS4 is impressive. The environments are detailed, the character models are realistic, and the lighting effects create a truly immersive atmosphere. Performance was largely smooth during my playthrough, with only occasional frame rate dips in particularly intense moments of multiplayer matches. Load times were also surprisingly quick, which is a definite plus.

The audio design is equally impressive. Gunfire sounds powerful and realistic, the soundtrack is fittingly intense, and the sound design contributes effectively to the overall immersive experience. The voice acting is superb, adding further weight to the already compelling storyline. Even the sound effects of traversing the Metro system feel well-integrated and enhance the speed and excitement of movement.

Pros:

• Gripping single-player campaign
• Diverse and engaging multiplayer modes
• Excellent graphics and sound design
• Fast load times
• Regular content updates with new maps, weapons, and operators (as seen in Season Six)
• Innovative features like the Metro system in Verdansk

Cons:

• Occasional frame rate dips in intense multiplayer moments
• Some might find the violence overly graphic
• Requires significant storage space

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (CODMWPS4) is a stellar entry in the long-running franchise. While it has some minor flaws, the positives significantly outweigh the negatives. The intense single-player campaign, the incredibly engaging multiplayer, and the constant stream of updates make this a title that will keep you entertained for months to come. If you’re a fan of first-person shooters, or simply looking for a well-crafted and highly-polished gaming experience, then CODMWPS4 is an absolute must-have for your PS4.

My Recommendation: A definite buy. This is one of the best Call of Duty games in recent memory.
