“Honestly forgot I owned this one. Played a mission today and it brought back some memories of playing the original COD 4. Good remaster, though controls for sure feel a bit clunky and outdated but the campaign is still…”
“Multiplayer is dead, there's lootboxes, game does not run well on higher graphic settings on a computer made in 2024. buy only if on sale. Campaign is everything I wanted in the original Cod 4 campaign.”
“I personally buy and play COD games not for the one-and-done campaigns or the sweaty/grindy multiplayers, but for the ability to jump into private matches against bots. Each COD handles this a bit differently, so the…”

“Decent graphical remaster; it runs on a modified version of the IW 5.0 engine, the same engine as Advanced Warfare. Audio (explosions/weapons/impacts) suffers due to it carrying over many of the terrible sound effects…”
“[h1]A remaster done well, honoring the legacy of one of the greatest shooters from the Call of Duty series[/h1] I'm really impressed with this game, the briefings before missions, the interface, the overall graphics and…”

“I forgot how hard the old school COD's were on Veteran. The new COD's are not as hard as the original MW series and BO 1&2. I cant understand how people had trouble running this game, this game ran great with not one…”
“Disable shader preloading and the two caches in video/graphical settings. Trust Me. Fun challenging campaign missions with a some awesome story moments. Good but slightly dated multiplayer.”
“a lot of fun. good story. not as good as mw2 but still pretty good.”

“Second time playing through the remaster and platting/100% it. Originally did it on PS4 when it came out. Who knows how many times I played All Ghillied Up in high school. So much about this game is iconic and…”

“A lot of people are saying its not worth it, wrong, i could not stop playing it from when i downloaded it 100% worth it. :)”
“This "remaster" is almost ten years old now. Had I played this game ten years ago when it released, I'd have the same feelings I do now. Is this game really needed? Yes, the game looks better than its '07 counterpart.…”

“♥♥♥♥ you activision, bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idiots. Out of memory error, low on hard disk space my ass. how is this game still in the store if people cant even launch it and no official solution from activision themselves…”
“Completely broken and unplayable. Tried all fixes and even upon getting the game to launch properly, it was full of missing textures and I couldn't even start a new campaign.”
“A game that was known to be very broken when it originally launched, I barely got it to run and managed to finish it... Now it no longer even opens on my current hardware. Since I can't get a refund anymore I might as…”

“Speaking purely about the story - I couldn't care less about the multiplayer. Is the plot cliché? Maybe. But it’s my absolute favorite. It’s a simple story with very good characters and a wonderful atmosphere. The mission in Pripyat is just legendary. You don’t just play this…”

— a player, Steam review · 23 hrs played“Picked it up because it was on sale. In order to even LAUNCH the game, you must boot your PC into safe mode, then launch MW, change the video settings to windowed, boot back into normal Windows, and THEN and only then can you launch the game. Then, you can change it back to full…”
