Impressions: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Campaign – Switch 2 Does Its Best With One Hell Of A ‘Popcorn Game’

Activision has brought Call of Duty back to Nintendo consoles with Modern Warfare 4 on Switch 2, nearly 13 years after the series’ last appearance on Wii U. A completed playthrough of the campaign suggests the game is a substantial release rather than a compromised port, with a globe-spanning story and production values that make it an engaging action thriller.

The campaign has 16 missions and took around eight hours to complete, including time spent exploring and dealing with technical interruptions. Newcomers can follow the plot without playing earlier entries, thanks to a short recap and straightforward setup. The article praises the characters, performances and varied action, while warning that some scenes contain graphic beatings and dismemberment; multiplayer and DMZ impressions are still to come.
