Modern Warfare 4's Campaign Has Fans Calling It a Top-Five COD

The latest Modern Warfare campaign is earning strong praise from players who describe its missions as intense, cinematic, and difficult to put down. But the franchise's best-campaign debate is notoriously competitive, with longtime fans measuring every new entry against classics from different eras. Can MW4 genuinely crack the top five, and should campaign rankings be judged separately from multiplayer and the rest of the package?

Comment

Top five is a big claim when the series has classics like the original Modern Warfare trilogy and Black Ops.

Definitely a tough list to crack, but every generation has its favorites. A new entry can earn its place if the missions stick with people.

A great campaign needs more than explosive set pieces. The characters and consequences have to matter too.

The campaign sounds great, but I buy COD mostly for multiplayer. That part still has to deliver.
