But the realism of the game is captivating. I was worried that it would preach the horrors of terrorism, akin to the infamous “No Russian”, without any real purpose. The pre-release material cited disturbing events that players would see, and to be fair, the game lived up to this, without being too distasteful. Thankfully Modern Warfare more than made amends with a top-tier campaign, the return of some familiar faces, and a harsh visualization of the grim world that surrounds us. After getting the train back onto the track with WW2, it barely reached the next station, before it immediately derailed hard with Black Ops 4. Anyway, the reboot of Modern Warfare was the right move. Now is the time to break that chain and NOT go down the future route. We went from World War, to Modern, to futuristic, to World War, to Modern again.
If you wrote down the time period of COD games onto a chart, there would be no disparities, it would be one, flowing wavelength. Although, the spectacle of the legendary Eiffel Tower crumbling more than the Croatian defense in the 2018 World Cup Final was special. That is a recognized medical condition in which the patient becomes numb to the Hollywood theatrics and larger-than-life nature of COD games. Whilst there is absolutely nothing wrong with this entry in the ever-popular Modern Warfare aspect of COD, this was the moment when I started to feel “ COD fatigue”. 8 for one of the Modern Warfare games?! ‘Fraid so. I enjoyed fighting alongside David Hasselhoff whilst riding rollercoasters. Furthermore, the original zombie level was quite fun too. This was emotional and I was genuinely impacted by the narrative and its representation of sacrifice and kinship. I was more than happy to forego the game’s best attempts to make everyone play like Boba Fett. His partnership with Ethan, the war with Kit Harrington’s, Admiral Kotch etc.
The story of Reyes resonated with me so much more than other campaigns. A BIG however, the campaign is arguably the most underrated in COD history.
