## Key points

- The review calls its multiplayer the series’ best in seven years.
- New movement makes traversal more fluid.
- Spawn problems and Inflation draw criticism.

## Summary

A review says *Modern Warfare 4* has the strongest *Call of Duty* multiplayer in seven years, with fluid movement and satisfying gunplay marking a return to form. Its new modes bring variety, though problems with spawning and one cash-based mode temper the praise.

Movement additions include pipe climbing, back-sliding and directional jumps, while smoother mantling lets players fire one-handed. The new Collateral mode adds an economy and equipment buying to round-based bomb play; Inflation rewards kills with bounties but requires players to collect dropped cash, which the reviewer criticises. Frontline makes players respawn at their base, but the article says the game’s regular spawn system remains among the series’ worst recent examples.
