I can smell the piles of Activision money burned to make Modern Warfare look, sound, and animate this good. Its busy soundscapes are facsimiles of real battlefields with drama cranked up to 11. The violent hum of a helicopter’s minigun drowns out my own weapons, proudly declaring that it's top dog. The classic hit marker 'thwoops' are now blunt strikes that form a supersonic flurry of blows, closing on the intoxicating coin flip 'ding' that promises I’ve won the firefight. Near-miss bullets slice through oxygen with the deafening echoes of a military sim. Bullet impacts are loud, disorienting thuds-it feels like my chest is caved in. Taking a hit doesn’t just flinch your camera and spray blood jelly on-screen. Modern Warfare’s marquee modes still encourage the unintelligible carnage that cemented Call of Duty’s empire.įacing the lethal end of Modern Warfare’s weapons is often petrifying. Reload animations bask in the moment with motion-captured flare that celebrates a kill and snaps back into place for the next fight. Weapons explode with concussive energy and rattle with recoil until the magazine is spent. It’s easy to forget about these complaints in the heat of a match, because Modern Warfare’s action is exceptional.
