Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4‘s campaign has reached 94% positive on Steam, up from 93% on October 19. Steam categorizes the rating as Very Positive, and the SteamDB review listing tracks the score as Campaign Early Access continues.
Campaign Early Access began October 16 for eligible digital preorders, opening the 16-mission story a week before the full game’s scheduled October 23 launch. The campaign spans several locations around the world, alternating between Captain Price’s covert operations and new protagonist Private Park’s frontline story in a fictional Korean conflict. Its missions mix stealth with direct combat.
The rating has climbed through several snapshots. At 81.15% across an earlier 900 reviews, Modern Warfare 4 already stood above Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War at 77.95% and 2019’s Modern Warfare at 77.86%, but below Call of Duty: Black Ops III at 84.36%. By October 18, a reading of 90% across nearly 2,000 reviews had cleared all three comparisons. The score then reached 93% on October 19 and now sits at 94%.
The current rating also exceeds the initial Steam review percentages for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Reviews have praised the campaign’s set pieces, pacing, and cast performances. Production director Graham Hagmair thanked casting directors Emily Schweber and Karan Sadow, while Price actor Barry Sloane, Valeria actor Maria Elisa Carmago, and Ghost actor Samuel Roukin acknowledged players’ praise. Sloane and Roukin also asked fans to keep spoilers out of discussions in their responses.
DMZ Early Access is scheduled for October 20, with Multiplayer following at the full game’s October 23 launch. The 94% reading reflects the campaign, not a rating for the complete game.
