Players on Steam so far seem delighted with Modern Warfare 4’s campaign, making it one of the most well-received Call of Dutys in recent history
Modern Warfare 4 has exceeded expectations following its release on Steam, despite significant pre-launch community concerns and disappointing beta metrics. The campaign, which launched in early access on Friday, has garnered a “Very Positive” rating of 92 percent based on over 3,100 user reviews—making it one of the most well-received Call of Duty titles in recent memory.
The positive reception marks a striking turnaround for the franchise entry. Prior to launch, Modern Warfare 4 faced considerable community backlash and speculation about its prospects on PC, fueled by disappointingly lower player numbers during the beta phase. However, players who have experienced the campaign, which runs just over six hours in length, appear genuinely satisfied with the final product.
The steady improvement in review ratings as more players complete the campaign suggests sustained quality throughout the experience. The “Very Positive” rating on Steam represents a significant achievement for Call of Duty, particularly given the franchise’s recent struggles with player sentiment regarding game design and monetization decisions in other recent releases.
For Infinity Ward, this marks what appears to be a successful conclusion to the Modern Warfare sub-series, at least in terms of critical player reception during the early access period.
