Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a 2019 [color=#0b0080]first-person shooter[/color] [color=#0b0080]video game[/color] developed by [color=#0b0080]Infinity Ward[/color] and published by [color=#0b0080]Activision[/color]. Serving as the sixteenth overall installment in the [color=#0b0080]Call of Duty[/color] series, as well as a [color=#0b0080]reboot[/color] of the Modern Warfare sub-series,[color=#0b0080][2][/color][color=#0b0080][3][/color][color=#0b0080][4][/color] it was released on October 25, 2019, for [color=#0b0080]Microsoft Windows[/color], [color=#0b0080]PlayStation 4[/color], and [color=#0b0080]Xbox One[/color].

The game takes place in a realistic and modern setting. The campaign follows a [color=#0b0080]CIA[/color] officer and British [color=#0b0080]SAS[/color] forces as they team up with rebels from the fictional country of Urzikstan, combating together against Russian forces who have invaded the country. The game's Special Ops mode features cooperative play missions that follow up the campaign's story. The multiplayer mode supports [color=#0b0080]cross-platform multiplayer[/color] and cross-platform progression for the first time in the series. It has been reworked for gameplay to be more tactical and introduces new features, such as a Realism mode that removes the [color=#0b0080]HUD[/color] as well as a form of the Ground War mode that now supports 64 players.

Infinity Ward began working on the game soon after the release of their 2016 title [color=#0b0080]Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare[/color]. They introduced an entirely new engine for the game, which allows for new performance enhancements such as more detailed environments and [color=#0b0080]ray-tracing[/color] capabilities. For the campaign, they took influence from real-life conflicts, such as the [color=#0b0080]Syrian Civil War[/color] and terrorist incidents that have [color=#0b0080]occurred in London[/color]. For the multiplayer, they scrapped the franchise's traditional [color=#0b0080]season pass[/color] and removed loot boxes, enabling them to distribute free post-launch content to the playerbase in the form of "Seasons".[color=#0b0080][5][/color]

Modern Warfare received praise for its gameplay, campaign, multiplayer, and graphics; criticism focused on the handling of the campaign's subject matter, including the depiction of the Russian military, as well as balancing issues in the multiplayer.
