    Well it was not so bad, definitely a good one for a long time, if you do not think about the logic of mass murdering Russian soldiers then the gameplay is very nice, enjoyed it, but please make the story more balanced and do not accuse Russians of what was done by the US. 8/10

    Makes Russians so angry that you'd assume they're being invaded in a 6 month long "special military operation."

    This review is single-player only. I really liked the story here. Of course it is a little repetitive if you played the previous installments of the franchise. But the graphics, the vibe and story-telling is still very engaging.

    Just to say it right off the bat, I haven't had such a great time with a Call of Duty game since BO1. The singleplayer story was good, slightly confusing and shall we say a little bit of propaganda? But overall I thought it was good. The characters you play felt like soldiers, not overpowered, if not slightly. But hey, you are the main guy right?

The characters you play felt like soldiers, not overpowered, if not slightly. But hey, you are the main guy right?
    The Co-op aspect was rather hard with some missions, perticuly the Paladin mission, but doable with a coordinated group of friends.

    Now the meat of the bones is of course the multiplayer for me, as with many other people. I am currently addicted to the multiplayer. The weapons are generally fun to use, each and everyone of them, though some more overpowered than others (M4A1). It's a bummer that most players choose to use this gun, makes the game seem a little uninteresting to me, I never see a new combination of guns, attachments and perks. But there is no rule against it, but it personally bothers me a little. You'll see a lot of people using that same gun every other match. Especially on normal, I much prefer HC modes.
    I love the vast ocean of attachments, camo's and charms on the variarities of guns. It's really fun to tinker and figure out what works best to every situation. It feels fun and rewarding to make progressions on all these different guns.
    This is the first Call of Duty that has had a large game mode like Ground War. And I gotta say, not really a fan, yet. Might be since I don't know the maps yet, which I feel you have to in order to do a decent job in this game mode. Sometimes it can feel like wherever you spawn, you die. Spawn and die, over and over until you get a lucky break and get your bearings. Otherwise it's a fun gamemode with tons of oppertunities to conquer.

    Overall I thought this game was and still is very fun to play. It's addictive with a great progression system. The guns feel great to use, and once you master the new mounting system you'll have alot more angles to engage your target. I like this machanic and I hope it stays in future installments. No lootboxes (yet) and I hope the game stays that was, otherwise I might take my score down 2 or 3 points.

    This of course is just my opinion, and I see people are very love it or hate it. Myself am on the positive side. I would recommend this game to any shooter fans and COD fans looking for a fresh take on the COD franchise.    … Expand

    Assume we ignore the political bias, as we can see people angry about giving this game 0 or 10 out of 10.
    Pretend the original game is 10 out of 10.
    Poor optimization for old components like GTX 10 and 9 series card -1 (More than 2 of my friends met the problems of sudden dropping frame, not responding blah blah blah, even with 1080). Instant changing of playstyle environment -1

    One of the best game in the series. Well known characters, likeable story and by far the best stealth missions COD has ever seen. Loved every moment of the campaign.
    On top of that they changed nearly everything related to movement, gun control etc. This is what players wanted and turned out really really well.

    Graphics: This game is deserving of the title of 2019's most beautiful title. With near photo-realistic characters and lighting as well as using Infinity Ward's next-gen engine, it's a 10/10 in this aspect.

    Sound: The audio fidelity in this game is like no other. Fully customizable audio quality, music perfect for each level and perfect sound design for all weapons, they did an amazing job.

    Campaign: The black sheep of the user reviews, but I chose to believe this comes from people who didn't actually pay attention to the game, it surely is controversial, but saying that the whole point of the game is "Russia bad" is absolute nonsense, hell, the game itself says that in the ending, but I won't spoil. Containing stealth invasion missions at the beggining, turning to open field combat and ending on the highest possible note, it's the highest selling point of this game.

    Multiplayer: The charm I thought was lost long ago in Black Ops II finally returns. Full boots on the ground combat, fully customizable weapons and all classic gamemodes returned. Of course, it's not perfect, the noob-tube became the RPGs and C4's, but I guess it's part of the old MW2 charm.

    Warzone: When another Battle-Royale mode was announced, I thought of how big of a letdown Blackout was, but boy-oh-boy was this good. Custom class integration, the gulag fights, an amazing open map that joins all multiplayer maps, what's not to love?

    Co-op: It's a nice addition, but a far cry from what the MW3 spec-ops was, this is a mere imprint of the shadow of it's former self, probably the low point of the game and what I spent less time playing.

    Overall, if you crave that old nostalgia from the original MW franchise or the old Black Ops days, this game is an absolute must-play.    … Expand

    Overall I'm enjoying the game so far, especially since I got it on sale.

    Campaign is a weakpoint as I feel most FPS games are, but the Multiplayer is where it really shines. I've never been a huge, or life-long, fan of Call of Duty - and I've much preferred Battlefield up until it went to World War I and II settings - but this one has sparked an interest in the series again. I hope this is a sign of things to come.    … Expand

The review bombing is silly in regards to it portraying Russians bad. If you fools would play through the campaign you'd know that barkov and his men are Roque and the Russian gov disavowed them, teaming up with the America /English team to take him down. The Russian aren't the bad guys, there are just a few Russians who happen to have gone Roque. No one was thinking anything political until someone said ' wow these guys are Russians as antagonists in the American game, how stereotypical'. And put the controller down. Not finishing the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After many years of incompetent yearly releases, it seems they finally got it right. Here are my favorite 5 improvements:

    1- Best campaign in many years, probably since MW2. More about it below.
    2- Cross-play! Now I can finally use my controller on PC without getting rektd (I grew up playing this game with a controller, Master Race).
    3- The monetizing system does away with the loot boxes, and map packs to split the player base mid-year.
    4- Ground War mode, the best thing from Battlefield (after destructible environments) with a Call of Duty feel.
    5- Spec Ops brings back the hardcore co-op play, missing since MW2 and MW3. A nice breather from the tired zombies.

    Now, you have probably read Glavset trolls on this site, taking a break from campaigning for Trump, to review-bomb this game. Yes, the campaign packs a punch. Potential spoiler: Since it's a reboot, the possibility of many old characters from the series to return is real.

    The reward system is very grindy, but again, fair. It makes it very tempting to pay up, until I'm reminded I'm investing all this money in a game that will be unceremoniously replaced next year (the yearly games is the one thing they still need to work on).

    If you're like me, a former player of Call of Duty in their glory days of Modern Warfare 1, 2 and 3, who stopped playing years ago, you may want to give this game a chance.    … Expand

Going back to the campers it felt like every new weapon or attachment, even every map that got introduced to the game post launch promoted extreme camping and slow gameplay.

    It’s hard to tell why there was so much ado about single-player campaign: controversial topics aside, it’s completely mediocre. On the other hand, the multiplayer mode is one of the best in latest instalments of Call of Duty series. [Issue#241, p.49]

    It’s undeniably well-made albeit controversial part of the series. One that tries to break the mold and open itself to another kind of player. It’s worth of praise, even if just for that. I recommend it especially to Battlefield players – you may be pleasantly surprised. [13/2019, p.50]
