"CoD: MW4" Campaign Hailed as "The Best in Recent Years"! Steam Reviews Rate It "Very Positive," Marking the Highest Approval Rating Since the Original "BO" in 2010—Also Receiving High Praise from International Media

Early access to the campaign for pre-order customers of *Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4* began on October 17 and has received high ratings on Steam.

The campaign has also been well-received by international media.

"CoD: MW4," scheduled for release on October 23, offers early access to the campaign starting October 17 as a pre-order bonus. As of this writing, it has garnered approximately 3,000 user reviews on Steam, with a 91% "Very Positive" rating.

Users have commented: “I don’t want to overpraise it, but this campaign was good. I can definitely say it’s the best in the last few years,” and “I’m a ‘CoD’ fan, but I had no intention of buying another one after the ‘MW2’ reboot.I bought *CoD: MW4* thinking it was my last chance, but the campaign team seriously deserves a raise. It’s a cinematic masterpiece that ranks in my top three ‘best *CoD* campaigns of all time.’”

While various review sites and major media outlets have noted that these are strictly evaluations based on early access to the campaign, GameSpot gave it a 7/10, Insider Gaming a 9/10, and GamesBeat a 4.5/5—all of which are relatively high scores.

While these are strictly based on early access to the campaign, a check on the unofficial database site SteamDB shows that this title has a favorability rating second only to the original *Black Ops*, released in 2010.

Ranked above it are classics such as the 2007 release *CoD 4: Modern Warfare*, *Call of Duty 2*, and the 2009 release *Modern Warfare 2*, demonstrating that the latest installment has achieved a favorability rating not seen in over a decade.


*Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4* is scheduled for release on October 23 for PC (Steam, Battle.net, Microsoft Store), PS5, XBOX Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Those who pre-order or pre-purchase the Standard Digital Edition or Collector’s Edition will be able to play the campaign early starting October 17.

Game*Spark has also published reports on the beta test and a group interview, so be sure to check those out as well.
