Unsurprisingly, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been a huge success for Activision and Infinity Ward. The shooter launched at the end of October 2019 and has already stomped out most of the competition in terms of sales. It topped the UK sales charts and has now reached the number 1 spot on the EMEAA charts (Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Africa) for the week ending October 27, 2019. This considers both digital and physical sales for all countries in those regions.
Its success comes in spite of the heated controversies surrounding the game?s depiction of realistic warfare. One such controversy involves Modern Warfare?s apparent attempt to ?rewrite history? during its Highway of Death mission. This shares its name with a real-life location where hundreds of civilians died at the hands of U.S. forces. In the Modern Warfare mission, the Russian military is said to be responsible for bombing the highway and claiming the lives of those attempting to escape. Whichever side of the fence you?re on, there?s no denying that Modern Warfare will likely be one of the best-selling games of the year despite its controversial presentation of war, or perhaps because of it.
