The first-person shooter genre has long been the staple of online gaming. 

Just when you think that you’ve seen enough and you nearly get attached to a particular FPS title, the world releases another revitalizing FPS game that resets your entire shooter game experience. 

Among many titles that were released this year, one that tops the chart is none other but Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remake and the fans just simply loved it. In recent events, Activision disclosed that the franchise observed modern warfare as one of the most played multiplayer console game ever.

In fact, the latest call of duty multiplayer title has summed up a total of $1 billion from around the world in sales by the end of November on consoles. 

The First Look at the New Modern Warfare

The game’s opening movie sequence is no less than binge-worthy movies like Sicario. It all starts with a terrorist attack and takes you on a breathtaking journey of a thrilling and mind captivating storyline. 

Most of the game-story revolves around recovering chemical weapons from a fictional country called the Urzikistan. But, early in the game, you do get the chance to play some brutal mission in London. 

The outfits of the players have changed. However, the shooting style still remains the same. The overall tone of the game is dark and most of the story elements are extracted from real scenarios. 

One great thing about the new Modern Warfare multiplayer is the crossplay. It is for the first time the franchise fully supports the crossplay element allowing players to interconnect through consoles and PC at the same time. Fans playing games through PS4, Xbox One and PC can now play altogether. 

Infinity ward has explained clearly how the crossplay feature will work on the new Modern Warfare. It does support keyboard, mouse, and controllers on all platforms; however, people will be able to choose controller-only lobbies or mouse & keyboard-only lobbies irrespective of playing on a console or on PC.
