Barry Sloane, the actor portraying Captain Price in the Call of Duty franchise, has shared a message of gratitude with fans amidst a wave of positive reception for the campaign in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Early reactions to the story mode have circulated widely on social media since players gained early access, with many describing the campaign as one of the series' most "brutal" and "intense." Some fans have even drawn comparisons to the acclaimed narratives of the original Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops.
The campaign has also garnered critical praise, with IGN awarding it an 8/10. The review highlighted that Modern Warfare 4's story "made me feel something for the series again" and provided a strong conclusion to the reboot saga. Steam reviews echo this sentiment, with a "Very Positive" rating and comments such as "The MW4 campaign was a 10/10 for me, they made a good story and ended it. Damn near almost cried at the end LOL."
Sloane took to social media to acknowledge the "kind words" he has received for his performance as the Task Force 141 leader. "Thank you for all the kind words. I see them. I read them. And I am grateful," he stated.
As Infinity Ward aimed to provide a definitive conclusion to the Modern Warfare storyline with this installment, the developers reportedly took significant narrative risks. With campaign spoilers already appearing online, Sloane also used his message to appeal to fans for discretion. "Remember," he continued, "let's allow people to enjoy the game in their own time. No spoilers. Bravo 6 – Dark."
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's campaign is currently available for early access players. The DMZ mode is scheduled for release on Tuesday, October 20, with the full launch following on Friday, October 23, for PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
