    Biggest waste of money in history. This is a pathetic excuse for a COD and the developers should be ashamed of themselves.

    This game is really bad. It is so unbalanced... Awful campaign and story.
    Not worth to buy

What a mistake. Gameplay is awful. Something tells me that infinity ward didn’t play a big part in this game, because it plays a lot like a black ops title. The kill time is unworkable. If they shoot first odds are you’ll die, making ranking guns a difficult process. Coming from someone who prides themselves on their KDR, certain guns are close to impossible to go positive with in the early stages. Maps are literal garbage. There is no flow to the maps, either you camp or rush, there is no in between. I’ll be headed back to the 2019 MW. If you want to buy this game, purchase the disk at least you’ll have a chance to make a little money back once you decide to sell it. Btw they have 23 pride flags and not a single American Flag for a calling card. That’s all you need to know about this game.… Expand

    There are really lots of bugs and errors. This game must in alpha testing. It's hard to talk about gameplay when your game periodically crashes and you face other difficulties due to bugs. Although it is safe to say that the company is garbage.

    Some people have experienced significant technical issues running the game, I have not had such experiences with the exception of the odd frame stutter or choppy cutscene.

The campaign was overall pretty fun but definitely not as good as Modern Warfare 2019, there was one mission in particular that felt super gimmicky but otherwise was an enjoyable experience. The core multiplayer gameplay is exactly what you’d expect from a standard CoD title, but with faster TTK and slightly clunkier feeling weapons. It seems like they have more recoil than previous titles, and all have pretty noticeable idle sway even after loading up on attachments. The gunsmithing system is a let down for me, too many attachments have too significant negative attributes to be worth using without significant upsides, will hopefully be adjusted moving forward. SBMM in casual queues is frustrating to say the least, if you are an exclusively casual player or someone that falls within the average playerbase you should be fine, but hardcore gamers like myself with thousands upon thousands of hours in tactical shooters will find it painfully frustrating to deal with the current state of matchmaking. The overall UI in the menus for the game is terrible, I loved the interfaces for Modern Warfare 2019 and yet they somehow managed to screw this up big time. It’s just a pretty average title that meets expectations in most regards but doesn’t really bring anything new to the table. If you enjoyed past titles you will probably enjoy this one, but it feels like a step back from the last game in the series.… Expand

    You can't have a decent game - you will either play with puppets or with high-effort players. I though Skill based matching was meant to balance thegame, not ruining it for literally everyone.

    I am done playing a game that crashes every time you use a bonus token (note, these are sold on the store so this has monetary value), that trashes my stats as soon as I manage to bring them up, that actively steals my money and time being thrown in inexplicable lobbies of 3 vs 6 and where I am constantly surrounded by idiots.

    COD is officially at its end ladies and gentleman.
    This is how you kill a franchise and piss everyone off.

    Don't buy this game.
    Don't buy ANY of their game.

    Activision is a joke
    Their games are TRIPLE C standards nowadays
    support is a joke
    bug patching is inexistent
    any update breaks the game
    top tier machines crashing down
    servers not running
    matching not working

    The Anticheat that they bragged about doesn't work and this game is full of cheaters.
    How is this kind of stuff acceptable to anyone within the gaming community?
    On top of all that the Anti-Cheat the touted with the release doesn't seem to me doing anything.
    Which is just comical to me. Its what left a Black Eye on Warzone and Vanguard. And its still ever prevalent in this game. Maybe one day we'll get a game that has quality anticheat systems that will allow players to enjoy the game without being concerned about not being able to play without being clapped by cheaters.

    *Season 1 has Released*
    Game still has significant crashing issues. Every match i have run with my Insured weapon has caused the game to crash. This then puts the Insured weapon on a outrageously long cooldown.
    I can't even enjoy the game with the gun I want because it bugs out and crashes. This is just Sub-par for what could be considered a Triple A title. Its far from Triple A quality. Bottom of the barrel Garbage.    … Expand

    Actually one of the worst cods i have ever played. Disgusting TTK while almost all animations take 2-3 seconds, so how tf do you react to being shot if you die in about 0.2-0.5 seconds? Horrible design. Also Footstep audio is horribly broken. If you enjoy camping and holding 1 angle until you die, this game is for you! Wish I got a refund, they don't deserve my money, horrible game.

    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.
