I might have been wrong about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4
The author’s initial reluctance about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 appears to be wavering after actually playing the latest installment. The Windows Central reviewer had expressed considerable disappointment with the Modern Warfare reboot series, beginning with the 2019 Modern Warfare title, which they found significantly less engaging than previous Call of Duty titles. Despite attempting to play the 2019 version, the author lost interest quickly and barely touched the two Modern Warfare sequels that followed, favoring the Black Ops series instead.
The Black Ops subseries, while not without flaws, consistently held the author’s attention more effectively than Modern Warfare releases. However, after finally playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, the reviewer’s negative preconceptions appear to be shifting. The article’s title—“I might have been wrong about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4”—indicates the game may have exceeded the author’s modest expectations and challenged their assumptions about the franchise direction.
The excerpt cuts off before revealing specific details about what aspects of Modern Warfare 4 impressed the reviewer or changed their perspective on the subseries. Nonetheless, this early evidence suggests the game may be resonating with players who, like this author, had grown weary of recent Modern Warfare entries.
