The latest entry in the long-running blockbuster series is here, with developer
Infinity Ward going back to the Modern Warfare setting of
Call of Duty 4; with the release of
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It's a gritty re-imagining that looks to push the series forward.
Out today on PC and console, franchise veteran Luke Lawrie spent considerable time with the game to bring you this in-depth review.
There’s always been an over-the-top ‘style’ to Call of Duty’s campaign -- almost as if the developers were asking the question: “what would Michael Bay do?”, then going ahead trying to top that. For Modern Warfare though, it feels a bit more grounded in reality, seemingly having drawn inspiration from films like Sicario, The Hurt Locker, American Sniper, and Zero Dark Thirty.
"Like previous entries you’ll play a selection of different characters as the narrative unfolds..."
The story takes place in present day where a terrorist organisation has stolen a cache of chemical weapons. They unleash a deadly attack in London and this sets off a series of missions where you’ll attempt to find out who is behind the violent strike and bring those perpetrators to justice. Like previous entries you’ll play a selection of different characters as the narrative unfolds, and along the way, be guided by the familiar Captain John Price -- a fan favourite from the Call of Duty franchise.
