Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) is a reboot of the original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007) by Infinity Ward, bringing back Captain Price, Ghost, Gaz and Soap in a new story with modern staging. It is not a sequel and not Modern Warfare Remastered (2016): it is a separate game with its own multiplayer and campaign. The community still calls it "the last solid Call of Duty", the peak of the series before the era of live services.

Multiplayer offers modes for every taste: classic Team Deathmatch, Domination, Search & Destroy, Hardcore with a minimal HUD, and also Gunfight 2v2, fast matches on small maps with random loadouts, which MW 2019 introduced to the series. Ground War holds 100+ players with vehicles: tanks, APCs and aircraft. The maps include remakes of CoD4 legends: Crash, Vacant, and the iconic Shipment.

Co-op is Special Ops: multi-stage missions for four players on open maps of Urzikstan, with tasks from clearing areas to holding a position. There are also classic short scenarios and a Survival mode (wave defense). This is a full co-op line, not a bonus to multiplayer.

Single-player campaign: a CIA operative and the British SAS work with the rebels of fictional Urzikstan against a Russian private military company and the Al-Qatala group, hunting for stolen chlorine. The staging and the IW Engine 8 received high ratings. The mission "Highway of Death" (an adaptation of the real 1991 event, the Highway of Death) caused controversy in the Russian-speaking community, which is worth knowing in advance.

An honest note on multiplayer: online in Steam is around 2,300 on ordinary days, with peaks up to 3,600. During the March 2026 sale the game broke its own record with 61,667 concurrent players, overtaking even the free CoD HQ. Popular modes (TDM, Domination, Shipment, Gunfight) find lobbies in prime time. Rare modes and unpopular maps may take longer to match. Matchmaking is aggressively skill-based (SBMM), which may feel tense for casual play.

Localization: full official Russian voice-over and interface from Activision. Voices: Ilya Isaev as Price, Artur Ivanov as Ghost, Philipp Lebedev as Gaz, Radik Mukhametzyanov as Soap (John MacTavish).

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) is a reboot of the original CoD4 from Infinity Ward with full official Russian voice-over: a single-player campaign with Captain Price and Ghost, multiplayer from 2v2 Gunfight to 100+ player Ground War, and co-op Spec Ops. Not to be confused with MW II (2022) and MW III (2023). Without Warzone: it is a separate standalone game, and Warzone was released as a separate free product. Activation through an Activision account.
