It's still challenging, but in a very different way. It's also a huge change of pace to the more frenetic, futuristic Call of Duty campaigns of recent years. Without giving away details, because if you haven't played it, it's excellent, the story is engaging and well written.Īnd it's every bit as much in 2016 as it was in 2007.

One minute you're on a ship, then you're in a town in the desert, then on a covert ops mission in Pripyat. The story is based around conflict in Russia and the Middle East, taking in a variety of different settings for its missions. With you throughout is Price's right-hand man, Gaz, though you never play as him. You play the majority of the campaign as Soap, a crack SAS soldier, with his commanding officer Captain Price and Sgt Paul Jackson of the U.S. Better yet, it's still just as enjoyable to play through now as it was all those years ago.

While modern Call of Duty is perhaps more about the multiplayer longevity than epic campaigns, Modern Warfare had one of the finest single-player games of its kind.
