   Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Campaign Early Access Launches

   Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 campaign early access is live for players who pre-ordered the digital version, ahead of the full standalone launch on October 23. Early reviews describe the single-player experience as a return to form for the franchise, contrasting favorably with last year's Black Ops 7 launch. The campaign spans 16 missions over roughly six hours. Outlets are holding off on final scores until they can test multiplayer and DMZ modes. The campaign download size is 137GB on Xbox consoles.

   Why it matters

   The early rollout offers fans an advance look at the latest entry in the rebooted Modern Warfare subseries, which now spans seven separate games. This year's reception stands in stark relief to the mixed response generated by last year's surreal co-op campaign in Black Ops 7. Reviewers note that the new title delivers traditional franchise mechanics while following characters like Captain Price during a Korean conflict.
