Many Call of Duty campaigns have struggled to hold my attention for very long, so much so that I had to do previous games in short sessions. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s campaign delivered a memorable, superbly polished experience, which I finished in around eight hours, in one go. Throughout the campaign, I felt like I was living through a cinematic...

Overview
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is a first-person shooter and the follow-up to Modern Warfare III (2023), continuing the rebooted Modern Warfare storyline. The campaign is set during a North Korean invasion of South Korea and features dual perspectives: a young South Korean soldier named Private Park facing his first combat deployment, and Captain Price operating outside official channels on a personal mission. The game also includes multiplayer with 6v6 core maps, large-scale vehicle combat maps, and a dynamic map system called Kill Block that reshapes layouts between rounds. A DMZ extraction mode is also featured. The game is released exclusively on current-generation platforms and PC.
