    UPDATE: SCREW THIS STUPID S****Y GAME I CAN'T PLAY ANYMORE AFTER SEASON 2. I STUCKS ON CONNECTING I TAKES LIKE 30 MINUTES TO FIND A MATCH DOESN'T WORTH BUYING I REDUCE MY SCORE FROM 7 -> 0

    a downgrade from MW 2019 however the game is still very addictive and fun but far from perfect the campaign is great and it has a good and exciting story. if only it was longer 6 hours is not enough

    a downgrade from MW 2019 however the game is still very addictive and fun but far from perfect
    the campaign is great and it has a good and exciting story. if only it was longer 6 hours is not enough i expected 10 to 12 hours. the 3 co-op missions are lackluster except maybe the 2nd one
    it seems like they toned down the realism in MP for some reason. my favorite modes, gunfight and gungame are missing, since you have to play with different guns to unlock parts for other guns(which is stupid and annoying) those two modes that you play with random guns could be helpful. I have a lot of connectivity issues on steam including update failed errors and not joining games. Update: the connectivity issues are mostly fixed after the recent update
    the optimization of the game is convincing for now but there are occasional frame drops. the file size of the game is far far better than the 150GB+ MW 2019. I hope they let you delete campaign after finishing and don't force you to download warzone to keep the file size low and i hate battle royale.
    the graphics of the game in single player mode is fascinating but not perfect. the lighting is a disaster comparing to MW 2019. MW 2019 had a natural and realistic lighting but MW II has a green/brown tint and high contrast making it a little cartoonish. even with high texture settings, some textures are terribly low res.
    the maps are meh non of them really stand out nor has it's own identity except maybe the hydroelectric map. that's because they focused too much on warzone and all mp maps are different parts of warzone 2 maps which is a terrible idea. remaking old maps could alleviate the lack of good maps.
    with more updates and making the running animations more smooth, and option for changing lighting and contrast, more optimization and fixing connectivity issues there is a good potential for this game. there is a great first person shooter experience in this game that is buried under many issues but it could turn to a great game with more updates just like MW 2019 did
    Update: the sbmm has made the game frustrating for me I'm a casual player but if i do a little good i have to face pro af players in next few matches. the better idea was to keep sbmm for ranked mode and make quick play/casual mode random just like other games do or at least show your skill level

    I have only played the campaign. Looks amazing but it's not fun to play. Worst call of duty ever.
    I was lost half the time, the new mechanics are not fun at all and they come without much instructions (apart from the crafting system). Difficulty is also unexplainable, there were multiple parts when I struggled even in Recruit mode, and I used to play some of the previous CoD's in

    It's also very buggy, had multiple crashes. Cannot recommend, especially not at full price, spend your money elsewhere.

    I never played any CoD game before and this was my first one. I knew it's FPS (so I didn't expect Sniper Elite or Ghost Recon) but I was really surprised how silly the game is. Do you recall Virtua Cop ? Car chase moments really remind me of that. In the lighthouse mission there are guards arriving in a car, regardless of where you hide they always walk in your direction - pacman style.I never played any CoD game before and this was my first one.

Honestly even almost 10 years old Wolfenstein New Order as an decent FPS is way more fun than this one. It's a nice tech demo of what today's gfx cards can do, but where is the game?

    Edit: Originaly Il gave 3/10. During the silly car chase mission I changed my mind to 0/10. Will see when I finish this absolutelly silly level.

And even so, in order to understand all that Santa-Barbara that is happening on the screen, you first need to drink something strong.
    A blatant attempt to copy the game-play of the original game, but at the same time they fail, because what was relevant and interesting once in the distant past, now needs to be improved ... and even so there were ridiculously stupid moments, like a completely safe zone when you need to hide in the grass.
    Enemies? Just as stupid as they were, although they now know how to bypass you from the flank. Difficulty level? The simplest formula - don't think about diversity, just make the bodies "thicker".
    In the end, it's just a piece of high-quality graphics and sound, and low-quality of everything that makes the game even a little bit interesting.

    So sick of these big companies pumping out games that don't even work. Constantly constantly constantly crashing. More bugs than the rainforest, and purchased skins are able to be updated and we can't refund if we don't like the udpate.. Just so sad to see the franchise like this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is really disappointing.Bad map designs ,bad movements, punishing the rushers, bad Campaign and more.

    Normally I play campaign multiple times Mw2019 I played 4 times ,but mw2 story was so boring that I played once.

    Infinity ward does everything to destory this game, they removing everything that community liked. 


    My K/D with mw2 is dropped really bad,and I'm not a bad player ,playing sinds  2005 call of duty 2.


    Im now stopped playing this because its gives to much anger and stress. 


    If I realy bored than I play mw 2019. Its still fun to play.

    The first good COD game after BO4 (even though almost opposite of BO4 gameplay wise). I would like to bomb it with 0 for extreme SBMM, crashes and missing player stats but after about 100h played I still have fun (when I am not screwed by SBMM too much) so it would not be fair. If SBMM was nerfed by half, crashes fixed and stuff like player stats brought back it would be 9/10 for me.The first good COD game after BO4 (even though almost opposite of BO4 gameplay wise).

    EDIT: Changed my mind after few months. Content delivery is extremly slow and SBMM is unbearable. With this strict matchmaking in quick play it could be 10/10 masterpiece, best game ever created and it still would be unplayable trash sucking all sanity from you - so here you go Activision, take that 0.

    Don't buy this if you plan on playing on PC. Constantly crashing for me and my friends for months since launch. Activision and Infinity Ward have seemingly given up and ran with everyone's money. We crash multiple times daily no matter what "fix" we try.

    A step back from MW2019 in most ways. Do not buy if you were looking for an improved version of MW2019. I hoped this game would improve Infected with the updates, but it is still a shell of what MW2019 infected was.

    Massive disappointment and a complete downgrade from previous titles, especially Treyarch's Cold War and the first Modern Warfare reboot, both which had spectacular and refreshing campaigns with new mechanics.MWII gunplay is slow and clunky, hitmarkers have been removed, weapon animations are recycled and repetitive. Riot shields are no longer cracked upon being shot with rounds. TheMassive disappointment and a complete downgrade from previous titles, especially Treyarch's Cold War and the first Modern Warfare reboot, both which had spectacular and refreshing campaigns with new mechanics.MWII gunplay is slow and clunky, hitmarkers have been removed, weapon animations are recycled and repetitive. Riot shields are no longer cracked upon being shot with rounds. The campaign is uninspired, boring and generic. Too many cinematic sequences and gameplay is too linear. There were no plot twists and any missions that stood out. Graves and Hassan were one dimensional villains. AI is ridiculously overpowered and will insta-kill you from any corner on Hardened or Veteran and armored enemies become repetitive . Soundtrack is forgettable. Too many plot holes that insult the intelligence of its userbases. For instance in one mission you're waiting in an elevator with a member of the Mexican cartel and one of the dialogue options allows you to knock him unconscious, but upon doing that his body completely disappears once the elevators reaches the lower floor and stops. The game never explains why Hassan is working with Al Qatala

    The UI in particular is cancer. Navigating through the menu requires unnecessary button presses and prompts and gives off the impression that you're playing a mobile game, not a $70 AAA title.

    On another note, this game should have never been titled MWII seeing how much it has pissed on the legacy of its previous games and is commonly confused with the far superior Modern Warfare 2.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II offers excellent, perfectly toned-down multiplayer that – unlike the previous games in the series – requires good but not superhuman reflexes. Guns feel better than ever and the extremely dynamic, huge Ground War is a great mode for a Battlefield fan. Modern Warfare II is simply the best online shooter available. What’s more, the single player campaign is outstanding too. Missions in its second half might disappoint those who expect to have their finger on the trigger all the time, but amazing graphics and some really cool assignments make bearing with those gameplay experiments worth it.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022) is a fine sequel that checks all of the boxes when it comes to a serviceable CoD campaign, good co-op options, and a super shiny competitive multiplayer that plays well enough for most. However, Infinity Ward has played it safe with this CoD installment, leaning into the strengths of Modern Warfare (2019) while making minor improvements, but ultimately failing to push the envelope in any meaningful way.
