Modern Warfare Review

As someone who primarily covers Call of Duty each year, it's that time for the final one-year recap & thoughts on Infinity Ward's 2019 CoD Modern Warfare. This won't be a super concise review as you can tell; it's a big collection of opinions on the good and the bad of the game. No doubt many of these points are things I've discussed throughout the year and will be repeating here to summarize and conclude my experience with the game. I think MW took several great steps forward for the franchise, and Warzone was quite the hit, but ultimately the multiplayer gameplay and progression was difficult for me to enjoy.

(I said this in other videos but forgot it here: I know the old coop modes like MW2/MW3 didn't have crazy replayability after beating them, it's not like I needed a full challenge system or camos to enjoy the mode in this game, that was just one suggestion. Like I said later, even being able to go for good times on all the trials would've been enough to meet my expectations.)
