Players on Steam so far seem delighted with Modern Warfare 4's campaign, making it one of the most well-received Call of Dutys in recent history
It may be hard to believe, given all the Call of Duty: Modern 4 pre-launch community drama and the beta's lower-than-expected numbers on PC , but the final game may have turned things around - so far, at least.
It may be hard to believe, given all the Call of Duty: Modern 4 pre-launch community drama and the beta's lower-than-expected numbers on PC , but the final game may have turned things around - so far, at least.
The short version
- On Steam, Infinity Ward 's final chapter in the Modern Warfare sub-series currently has a Very Positive (92 percent) rating based on over 3,100 user reviews .
- Modern Warfare 4's campaign early access went live Friday, and the review rating has been improving steadily as players have experienced more of the campaign's missions.
- Many have likely finished it by now; the campaign is a little over six-hours in length, after all.
What happened
Gaining access to the campaign on Friday required pre-ordering any of the game's editions digitally. Modern Warfare 4's official release isn't until 23rd October, which makes it hard to determine the current number of players, because SteamDB , our source for this data, can't reveal numbers without its tracking bot having a copy of the game.
Why it matters
Setting aside player numbers, the sentiment around Modern Warfare 4 is considerably more positive at the outset compared to last year's Black Ops 7, currently sitting at Mostly Negative (37 percent) .
