Bleeding Cool News reported that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will be the featured game for the Major II tournament.

Players who gained early access to the Modern Warfare 4 campaign ahead of its full launch have given it positive responses, according to PCGamesN and Nintendo Life. PCGamesN reported that initial Steam user reviews for the single-player campaign were 90 percent positive across its first 2,000 ratings. Destructoid noted that the game will include multiplayer modes, an extraction DMZ mode, and limited carry-forward content. [2][3][5]

As FTMQ Gaming reported earlier, unionized quality assurance staff at Activision voted to authorize a strike shortly before the release of Modern Warfare 4. Modern Warfare 4 serves as the conclusion to the story arc of the rebooted Modern Warfare sub-series. [10][11]
