Call of Duty: Modern Warfare — Franchise's latest 'comeback' attempt offers mixed messages in the gritty but lacklustre world
FirstpostCall of Duty: Modern Warfare is a strange animal. This sort of story-telling feels like something more at home in Call of Duty’s primary rival, Electronic Arts’ Battlefield series, particularly Battlefield 3. Unfortunately, like Battlefield 3, the campaign’s lack of impressive set pieces or interesting, inventive missions means that now that I’ve completed the game, I have no intention of ever going back, which is a first when it comes to me and the Modern Warfare series. One of the key messages of the new Modern Warfare game revolves around the idea that ‘the good guys’ may have to do questionable or downright evil things in order to serve the greater good. Call of Duty’s campaigns have been many things but until now I don’t think I could ever call one boring, and knowing that I can’t say that anymore hurts more than I would have anticipated.
