More about Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare®

Steam's global achievement data puts 41 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 18. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 10 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 35 percent of the 4,529 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (boost, cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.

6.2 hours to finish it, 15 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.5 times the campaign.

Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® - Achievement Hunter Review 🕒 Time played: 22 hours 🏆 Completion: 100% + all Steam achievements As an achievement hunter, I already have quite a lot of experience with games like this, so honestly, I expected Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® to be much harder to 100% than it actually was.
