Call of Duty Changes Scope – Modern Warfare Multiplayer Hands-on
game preview01 August 2019
The multiplayer in Modern Warfare is still fast and feels very familiar. The new engine didn't suddenly turn it into a slow, tactical shooter, but the rejuvenated COD seems to be taking steps in the right direction, as it grows in size and scope.

Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment," Kafka's "Trial," Nintendo's "Luigi's Mansion 3." Few works allow equally compelling insight into the tormented mind of an imaginary figure, exposing the nightmares hidden within.
