Review: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (Switch 2) – Best-In-Class Bombast That Doesn’t Shortchange Nintendo Gamers
The reviewer finds *Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4* a polished, fast-moving action game that runs impressively on Switch 2. Its refined movement and gunplay stand out, making the return of the series to a Nintendo platform after years away feel particularly welcome.
The campaign lasts around six to eight hours across 16 missions, following Captain Price’s cartel pursuit and a crisis involving North and South Korea. The review praises its performances and blockbuster set pieces, while noting that its moral questions remain shallow and the story rarely pauses; a snowbound mission with objectives tackled in any order offers a change of pace.
In short
- Refined movement and gunplay run well on Switch 2.
- The 16-mission campaign is a six-to-eight-hour action ride.
- A slower snowbound mission briefly breaks up the pace.
Explained simply
Call of Duty is a long-running series of military action games, usually built around a story campaign and fast-paced shooting. Modern Warfare is one of its sub-series, featuring Captain Price, a British soldier who has appeared in several earlier games.
This instalment follows Price as he pursues a cartel and becomes involved in a crisis concerning North and South Korea. Those countries have been divided since the Korean War, and tensions between them remain a recurring subject in international affairs.
The game’s release on Switch 2 brings the series back to a Nintendo console after several years away. That makes how well this large, action-focused game works on the platform relevant to Nintendo players as well as to existing Call of Duty fans.
