The Call of Duty series has been one of the most popular and lucrative franchises since its inception in 2003 and the series doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon. Actually, the recently reimaginedModern Warfare IIImight have something to say about that.
In 2019, the iconic Modern Warfare series was reimagined withCall of Duty: Modern Warfare, which spawned two more reimagined sequels in 2022 and 2023, respectively. The OG Modern Warfare series is widely considered to be the best that this franchise has to offer, so it was imperative that the 2019 release was bang on the money.

Of course, how good one might determine a game to be is subjective to the individual. However, with scores in the 80s onMetacritic, it’s fair to say thatCall of Duty: Modern Warfare(2019) was at least mostly well-received. That being said, it still falls short of its 2007 inspiration,Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfarewhich scored as high as 94 earning the ‘Must-Play’ accolade on Metacritic.
Regardless of what the future holds for the most recent entry in theCall of Dutyseries, fans have been looking back fondly on 2019’sModern Warfarecampaign. “I forgot how goodMW2019’s campaign is,” said Redditor Crusty_MilkJuicekicking off the discussionon the thread.
“With all the discussion aroundMWIII’sapparent lacklustre and disappointing campaign, I decided to reinstallMW2019 again to replay it, and its campaign is quite possibly one of the most hard-hitting and engaging ones I ever played,” they continued. “I had pretty much forgotten how involved and immersive it is, and its subject matter was brilliant.”
“Going from the 2007 narrative of a clear “good guy, bad guy” viewpoint,MW2019 blurs the lines and does a great job of showing how the theatre of war has changed significantly since those times. The characters were amazingly reimagined as well. I love the dynamic between Price, Kyle (Gaz), Alex and Farah and the game actually makes you give a sh** about them.”

“MW2019 is indeed a good single-player campaign for CoD. Although I prefer theMWIIgunplay and sound effect improvements, the story also unfolds quite well,” replied adkogz7. “I just finished it yesterday for the first time afterMWII/MWIIIand I was blown away. It’s such a great story and the characters are kick ass, especially Farah,” replied Bitter-World150200.
