Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Campaign early access is already doing what the last few Call of Duty campaigns couldn’t: making people actually want to finish it.
Steam is sitting at ~92% Very Positive off thousands of reviews.
Players are calling it the best Modern Warfare campaign since the 2019 reboot — some are ranking it higher than that.
IGN gave the campaign an 8/10 which only because they didn’t get paid more to rate the game higher.
TMI gave the campaign an honest 9/10 because we actually played the game and didn’t get paid to post our results.
The tone across both critics and the community is that this one finally feels like a proper conclusion instead of another season-pass setup.
Story is built around a North Korean invasion of the South.
You run with young South Korean marines and embedded Americans while the familiar operators (Price, Farah, Valeria, and the rest) move in the background.
Runtime is roughly 6–7 hours. Stronger set pieces, tighter pacing, and it actually tries to close the current saga.
DMZ early access opens October 20.
Full game (campaign + multiplayer + DMZ) lands October 23.
2027 Call of Duty is confirmed as a brand-new sub-series — not Black Ops, not Modern Warfare.
Activision finally admitted the community rejected back-to-back entries in the same sub-franchise.
This is the one people are actually talking about before it fully drops.
