Completed the campaign for the first time since 2010. If you want to replay the campaign or play it for the first time, this is a good option. It's hands down the best COD game of all time.

Good Old COD Rating: 9/10 I found it way easier than MW remaster after finishing both on Veteran difficulty. But I had ton of fun in campaign. I highly recommend to follow the Modern Warfare release order to understand characters and some story references. Good game. MP isn't dead either. Just bring the damn remastered version here, activision mofks

Great game. Shame it's full of RCE exploits, which Activision doesn't care to fix. DO NOT BUY
