I don't usually play multiplayer games, and while I think Warzone is cool, Call of Duty is not the series that will buck that trend. That is to say, I'm reviewing this purely as a single player campaign.

Modern Warfare is a fun shooter that smartly reimagines the original MW games as a B-tier military and espionage thriller that fits right in with the likes of Jack Ryan on Amazon, or any of the many forgetful movies Netflix has dropped over the last couple years. Nonsensical at times, the story suffers on the replay. Nevertheless, it weaves a competent plot that keeps the player engaged as it winds through set pieces pulled straight from the [most sensational] headlines.

It's solid, and probably worth the play through, especially if you need a palate cleanser between denser narrative games.
