Was able to play the campaign early with a pre-order so that's what my review will focus on.

This was a very solid campaign overall; the cutscene and voice direction continue to get better, the set pieces are bigger and more elaborate, and the moment-to-moment gameplay feels tight and entertaining. I appreciated the mission variety similar to MW 2019, although the absence of one character in particular as a major player (no spoilers) was noticeable.

Something that really held this game back for me was the multiple instances of forced stealth/being completely powerless against opponents that can fuck you up. I can appreciate that once in a while, but it happens far too often in a game that should have more explosions and bullets flying. A minor gripe, but it definitely made me enjoy the campaign a little less compared to previous entries.

I'm impressed with the way this Modern Warfare reboot has been handled so far. There are some fun call-backs throughout the campaign for fans of the original trilogy, and I'm excited to see how they build on this and MW 2019.
