Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is one of the seminal first person shooters of all time. Blessed with a master-class campaign renown for its frenetic energy, realistic military combat, as well as its wide-variety of spec-ops infiltration, Modern Warfare has a mature, surprising story, with numerous plot twists. The remaster is an excellent revival of this title, revitalizing a game that new generations can now enjoy. The game holds up extraordinarily well and the remaster allows it to complete effectively with modern shooters. Additionally, the multiplayer was insanely popular for its time.

Unfortunately, despite having great graphics, some flaws exist in this remastered version. The game crashed for me early on, and I realized that I had to cap the game at 60Hz. This is a shame because the game is spectacularly optimized, with it running flawlessly at 4K, Ultra @ 120 fps. Once I capped the game at 60Hz, all crashing stopped. The game also has annoying stuttering during cut scenes. Game AI is still atrociously dumb at times and enemies can be wantonly unfair as you get swarmed by hundreds of bullets/rockets at a time. Multiplayer is, of course to be expected, a ghost town.

Still, none of these issues detract substantially from what Modern Warfare Remastered set out to accomplish, which is to enshrine a masterpiece first person shooter in a vehicle that newer generations can enjoy with performance/graphics upgrades.

Highest possible recommendation.

9.5/10.
