    This game has been an absoloute mess since launch. Full of bugs and problems which have taken away the enjoyment for me,

    First of all Campaign has been a **** show for me with cut scene frame drops which make it unwatchable so I don't know what the **** is going on! I leave it and they finally bring a patch out a month later when my hype is gone but I still play to find it's an SJW's
    This game has been an absoloute mess since launch. Full of bugs and problems which have taken away the enjoyment for me,

    First of all Campaign has been a **** show for me with cut scene frame drops which make it unwatchable so I don't know what the **** is going on! I leave it and they finally bring a patch out a month later when my hype is gone but I still play to find it's an SJW's wet dream. You've got anti Russian propaganda, three women army commanders when pretty much none exist so it ain't believable to me, trying to fit in all racial backgrounds when it just does't need to be there, the story line is poor. What I will say though is that the level design is great and comes as a real surprise to a COD game and this is one of it's best points, your not fighting an entire army every mission now and they're really well thought out and you have unexpected moments which make you feel your in the game and I prop IW for this.

    The multiplayer.. whoever designed these maps should be fired and never work for a studio again my left toe could come up with something better. Your getting shot from 725 different angles (pun intended) and it's designed to be the most campiest mess there is, I feel IW is at fault as well though because in interviews they're basically saying they want it noob friendly and I quote 'safe spaces' for new palyers... ****ing really? get a grip for **** sake how soft is that, if you're starting a new game of course you ain't going to be great but it's all about the experience to making yourself better and then that gives the player satisfaction. So doing that a better player now suffers. There's good things like weapon detail and customisation plus weapon challenges (when they work and not buggy) which is nice, I prefer to play ground war even though it's a complete rip off of battlefield conquest even the tanks etc are ripped off when they just don't work in a COD game, you have it as a kill streak so why add base tanks to spawn its because they had to copy everything to attract battlefield fans (battlefield isn't doing well at the moment) just like black ops 4 did last year copying the BR's to get their fans

    I would wait before buying until sales or not at all not until we see what they do with their content, at least they don't have loot boxes (yet) and they have free maps to release which earns them points although considering it's the same people who made the base one's so I'm hoping for some MW2/3 remastered maps down the line.

Visuals are fantastic, and sound design is one of the best in the business. The story however lacks any real depth, it brings nothing interesting to the table. Villains are as cardboard cutout and boring as most of the messages the game is trying to smash you upside the head with. America good. Russia bad. War sometimes bad. Using highway of death as reference but plastering the Russians as the perpetrators, that's fairly low even for the CoD standards. I mean props to the developers for recreating the real world events, but they missed the mark by not showing at least some shades of grey to all the factions. That said it is nice that the protagonists native to the middle east are shown in a more complex light. And are certainly the strongest part of the story for it.
    Moving on, to the Spec Ops modes.
    The survival modes are completely unplayable by one person, and bullet sponging enemies put first Division to shame. They become a boring unenjoyable mess almost immediately.

    Now for the multiplayer. Main reason for myself to buy it. As a Veteran of the series. Starting with World at War, through MW2, Black Ops, MW3, up to Black Ops 2 up to abysmal Advanced Warfare where my experience with the Multiplayer and call of duty in general ended due to its horrific design, story and general presentation. Not to mention from that point on wards broken multiplayer. I was excited to see what the remake has to offer in the online aspect. With it's back to the routes message and generally more grounded and realistic aesthetic. And the game does a lot right. Customisation of the weapons is excellent. Gunplay and visuals are top notch, and the developers have tried to mix the formula a little by introducing modes usually associated with other games. After spending many hours I have managed to completely give up on the whole game, I enjoyed it about as much as broken arcade claw machine. To pinpoint the major issues multiplayer has one must first look at the basic mechanics where game immediately falls flat on its face. Spawns are awfully thought through if at all, and that further emphasise the abysmal map design. It is complete chaos, there is no structure or strategy in any way. Formless mindless contest of who has the best net code and can drop shot the quickest. Every game mode and game type feels like free for all as there is no killzones or choke points or power positions. Enemies and friendlies are running around like headless chickens trying to hopefully flank the enemy before someone kills them from the side or rear. It is nerve racking, frustrating beyond ridiculousness and dumbs down the experience completely eliminating as much skill, planning, positioning and teamplay as possible. Furthermore, Jesus alone knows how the matchmaker works. My very first game at level 1 I was put in the game against entire team composed of players with level 100 or above. This trend remains and every single game I have ever played. I have been put in games with players with triple and quadruple gametime and level to mine. Resulting in the worst display of seal clubbing, spawn trapping and camping that has ever existed in any videogame. I have not learned anything about the maps, weapons, positioning or tactics in any meaningful way. To only later realise that there is none. Aside from seemingly endless supply of campers and Colonel Level 100 worthy no life having players, there is nothing.
    To try to mitigate the clear disparity between the skills and arsenal of enemies and myself I have jumped in to Ground War, to discover that it is basically a Battlefield copy not a bad thing in itself. Playing objectives or supporting the team might give some satisfaction if you are still new and trying to grasp the maps, controls and unlock some weapons and attachments. Unfortunately is not a particularly a particularly good copy of Battlefield. Vehicles are idiotic and handle about as well and realistic as a tetris cube. There is no team play or any form of incentive to play objectively and cooperatively. No medics, no repair of vehicles, Rocket launchers are completely pointless, Javelin doesn't destroy a helicopter for example, and cherry on top of this lousy excrement infested cake, is omnipresent Camping. Because of completely awful map design, lack of any form of team based gameplay even in objective based massive game modes, camping is the only viable strategy.
    To conclude.
    Do not get fooled with amazing graphic and brilliant gunplay, this is one of the most infuriating, poorly thought through, frustrating, dumb downed experiences CoD series has to offer. It is the best of all the "new" Call of Duty titles (Advanced Warfare and above) but that is like saying it is the least intrusive and unpleasant venereal disease. Do yourself a favour, buy it on sale, or don't buy it at all. It is alright at very best.

In this one - no matter what kind of weapon or aim you have, if the enemy sees you first, you are dead in 1 frame.
    Gunfight is cool mode, but the TTK still takes away any enjoyment of using the guns - gunfights are over within a few shots.
    Oh, and kill streaks too, a plague introduced by MW2, just as OP as ever.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t like propaganda, but this one not even close to the real world. In the modern world, the image is formed through the media. Books, serials, games, movies, news. For those who are in the tank, even the news can no longer make real ones. In the United States, there was news the other day - Russian aviation destroyed a hospital in Syria. Azaza. What a bad news. And they do not mention that this is a terrorist hospital, underground and secret. They also do not mention that they built it out of French concrete (hello, France, because business is business). In 5 years no one will remember where and why. It's just that in the news, Russia is bombed by a hospital. When approaching a casual passerby in the U.S., one can ask a question: "What do you think about Russia," he will say something about terrorists, but from where he no longer remembers. For the stupidest country before the war, the United States is the most bloodthirsty before the war, selling weapons to everybody, coups d'état here and there (to sell even more weapons, even better when neighbors are busy with war than with development), and has a very different image. So. Expand

    If it weren't for marketing, COD would sell terrible. The biggest disappointment is that the server processing lag still exists. This was the one issue they REALLY needed to fix, and they couldn't manage to do it. Because of this, character placement is not real time, bullet damage is variable and the server determines the outcome of everything,

Because of this, character placement is not real time, bullet damage is variable and the server determines the outcome of everything, not your skill.

    Currently shotguns are being used as sniper rifles as they are 1 shot kills, HUGE hit box requiring little to no aim and fast. Snipers are catering those who love to lay in the corner and easily 1 shot people. Maps are pretty bad in terms of color and design favoring camping. Anything other than a shotgun or sniper rifle feels like your firing paint balls with hit markers.

    The UI leaves A LOT to be desired with no uniformity or common sense layout. Many console and PC versions are crashing left and right. Both InfinityWard and Activision are not talking about fixing anything as i their minds, they feel that if they don't talk, nothing is wrong.

    To unlock weapons, it is still the same old grinding levels rather than being able to earn in game currency and unlock what you use most. Furthermore, weapon attachments are even more frustrating as you need to grind MANY weapon levels to get the one attachment you may want.

    Kill streaks now go through house roofs, so being inside during aerial streaks wont save you. There is NO minimap, nope no functional map at all in multiplayer. This will always leave you turned around, especially on larger levels which have no place in COD, especially with the low player count.

    Many settings have no effect and require a random reboot to start working which includes social, voice, and anything that tracks progress of anything. Many missions and statistics are broken and straight up don't work.

    What is InfinityWard doing? They already released on DLC and are currently marketing you to give them your personal info for a 30 min xp token that has yet to show up for ANYONE.

    In the end, this is the same old trash with a new shiny cover. Year in and year out, the will continue to make hype videos followed by stealing kids money.

    Call of duty was always a cinematic staged shooting gallery, but here it became just a shooting gallery, because an adequate and spectacular production was removed. Not a single epic memorable scene, not a single memorable location, half of the game in the dark, in underdevelopment. No large-scale military operations - just the most miserable monotonous shooting gallery in narrow corridors. The constant repetition of the same game-play situations. It’s not even worth talking about AI - it has never been and never has. What about the graphics?
    This is still the same outdated cardboard engine that wanders with constant patches and improvements already from the first part, and to which marketers always give new names and expose as a new engine..

    The game looks disgusting. Everything was as cardboard, and left. The lighting is terrible. The cutscene is a pre-render. This shame takes 120 gigs. Sound people do not feel the rhythm, so they could not emphasize the moments with music. In many places where music begs to the beat of action - silence.

    I personally haven't played the single player so I'm only going to be reviewing the multiplayer. As you can tell from my rating, the multiplayer is not the best.

I know this game was trying to be something a bit different but all it feels like is a bad rip off of battlefield. This game clearly has inspirations from battlefield but battlefield 4 which came out 6 years ago is more playable than this COD's multiplayer. Going back to some of the other problems with the game, I'll start with the spawns. Now COD spawns have never been very good, I personally believe it has to do with the small maps of previous games, but that shouldn't be the case with this game because the maps are much larger than previous games. Their smallest map is on the larger side of previous games yet you can still have enemies spawn right next to you or just spawn camp you for the majority of the game. Then there is the weapon unbalance, while the majority of weapons are decent there is one or two weapons in the game that are just better than everything else. The main problem is the M4A1 which is the most busted weapon in the game by far, I would like to see anyone try and find a lobby where at least one person isn't using that gun. It is blatantly over powered and it was in the beta as well but the developers clearly didn't even bother to look over any feedback from the beta so the weapon still remains over powered that the time of writing this. There are also a few weapons that are beyond under powered in this game, which is the first two handguns and snipers. While snipers can do fine in ground war, they are obnoxious to use for the most part in quick play, the worst part about them is time it takes to scope in which is ridiculously long for a COD. And handguns in the game are really weak, I know that they are pistols and they should do less damage but they feel weak even for a handgun. Last thing I want to discuss is the games pacing which is also awful, the game is trying to both be a boots on the ground game and battlefield at the same time. Which results in maps that are two large in quick play and slower movements since normally when you play battlefield their are vehicles to get to different spots. Also going off of that I know there are vehicles in ground war but they feel awful to drive in the one map they have for that mode. I believe the biggest problem of this game is that it is trying to be way to many things. The different modes they have just feel like cheap ripoffs of other games. Take cyber attack for instance, it literally in just trying to be a worse version of R6. I believe all of these different things that the game is trying to be has caused the overall game's pacing to feel bad. It's pretty standard for the user reviews on new COD to be low cause it's pretty standard to dislike COD now since the majority of their games are disappointments in one way or another. I personally never would have ever thought of writing of a review for a COD since I actually had a lot of fun with the last game and I feel like with the exception of the micro transactions which were awful it truly felt like a call of duty game. But this game just feels like a cheap battlefield, something like battlefield hard-line. I really wanted this game to be good since I do enjoy fast paced first person shooters but this game just doesn't feel good in any way, just go play R6 if you want a good strategy based shooter and play Battlefield if you want a better version of this game. Although this whole review has been rather negative I will say their is a few features that are pretty entertaining such as the mic filter the put on the game that makes it sound like MW2 and that you can hear people when you kill them but overall this multiplayer is flawed in more ways than one and I would personally not recommend buying this game. Please don't buy this game.
    TLDR: Multiplayer has major balancing and pacing issues and just feels like a cheap ripoff of battlefield instead of attempting to capture the feel of old CODs. Just buy Battlefield 4, literally just a better version of this game.

The multiplayer is the usual for the series past CoD:MW3 - weapon balance is a joke and the "community" even more so. The "story" is a trainwreck, however. Foolish as it is to care about the story in CoD game, it's part of the game. It's continuation of effortlessly making worse and worse story after CoD:MW3 (or arguably, CoD:BO). Russians are the villains (again) with no sensible explanation (again). Sure, other games had them as villains too within and without the series (CoD4 and Singularity, respectively), but there was an explanation of who exactly these particular Russians are (ultranationalists and remnants of brutal regime, respectively). This time it's based on real events, with few... twists, lets call them that. It has similar beats of it from the original Modern Warfare (CoD4), but is a lot more like propaganda this time. Chem attack by Russians, really? Not to mention that it's extremely cheap trick - it's the obvious - but it even isn't the first time within the series. Even with other nation, fictional or otherwise, instead of Russia it'd be too much, unless it's a particularly extreme nation such as certain forbidden one. Instead of all that propaganda-like story, they should just make that "Murica, f**k yeah!" song play for the entirety of campaign and overuse special effects like lens flare and explosions - it'd be at least amusing instead of making others question your moral standarts.

    In other words: don't bother buying - it's not worth it.

    And thank you for digging your own grave of criticism, IW and Activision. You truly are the kings of that.

In the first weeks I even tried to defend it, saying that they will listen and get rid of the camping, but nope.
    I can go on and on about how they created a safe space for the noobs and ignored their old fans. AT SOME POINT WE WERE ALL NOOBS AND GOT KILLED LIKE CHICKENS IN THIS FRANCHISE BUT AT LEAST WE HAD FUN AND LEARNED TO PLAY THE GAME.

    This should have been named Modern Campfare or Camping simulator.

    Spawns : Trash ( revenge spawns are awful maps are so small they almost always spawn directly behind you. )

    Game Modes (uninteresting and unplayable/not fun/camp-fests)

    It's slightly better than previous cods even though its just another remake. The game does not reward objective game-play. So if you play prepare to camp or spend all your time flushing full teams out of corners.. People are too scared to move. This makes every multiplayer game a meat grinder where you are trading your death for one or two kills trying to get a full team out of a room while your teammates camp across the map doing nothing.

I´ve played it about 27h to really be able to rate it well. I really hoped that this COD was finally a banger again.A boots on the ground modern scenery.
    But we all know how it ended up! The release day was the worst in COD history, it wouldn´t even connect and after waiting 2h in the loading screen my release day was over i couldnt take it anymore.
    While continuing playing the first weeks there were a lot of things that annoyed me for example: the insanly loud steps that made it so easy for noobs to spot you and made rushing impossible, the extremely op weapons (M4 , 725 etc. ), the amount of campers, nobody was moving at all ( TDM basically never hit the 75 mark ), the insane camperspots the bad player abused to get kills. Another big problem were the maps. They were extremely boring , bad designed & had not enough variety compared to other COD´s. I still continued playing since finally the big update came & everybody hoped for big changes.And another time activision failed us by not giving us what we deeply want. They nerfed the M4 and the 725 but misbalanced other weapon , they didn´t nerfed the volume of the step as much as needed & they gave us another not needed battle pass with new weapons which started to be op as fk. So it was the basic Activision move, which they do every year. A few other negative parts of the game are
    - the headshot bonus dmg: that almost oneshot u with every weapon doesnt matter if its a mp or a secondary
    -the lean on mechanism: is the worst funtions of all time. it basically allows camper to increase their efficiency to another level. No recoil at all.
    -The OP overkill perk: compared to other COD´s this perk gives you what you ever wanted 2 full equiped guns at one time. its so unbalanced and so stupid. why would you ever allow that?
    -The creation of the rpg dudes: Ive never ever seen a COD with that amount of noobtuber. if they hit you and didnt kill you they immediately switched to the rpg ( they got a perk for quiker switching and reload time for the rpg ) and finished you. Its the worst behavior supported frome the game.
    -The spawns: we already been to rough spawn systems in cod ( B04 , Ghost etc. ) but this cod makes it even worse they eliminated spawn pushing and created a never ending circle of we push A they spawn C. We push C they spawn A. But its not the only bad example: they spawn next to you , behind you or in the same place at the same time as you do . Better example is the map shipment , its the biggest **** show ive ever seen !
    -The attachments: Every weapon has a lot of attachments to modify your weapon. Atleast it seems like, there is. They addded basically 80% of trash to the attachments. 20 different sights, useless stocks & specials just to fake variety.
    - Make the noobs happy: one of the biggest problems with this game is the fact that they made the game for noobs to enjoy it. Thats the reason camping is so strong. They added the aim speed factor to the game so you improve the aim speed to play aggresive while your weapon gets less precisise. the camper add more precise to their weapons because they dont need that fast aim speed for camping = outplayed.
    After 27h of playing the game im just disappointed & sad that my hope were once again crushed.

    Now before I go to my review, I wanna say that this is all about the Multiplayer aspect of the game. The campaign is what I enjoyed the most in this game but unfortunately, I'm giving it a 2/10 for good reasons.

    Now I spent a lot of time playing this game, and while I did enjoy some of it, most of it was just infuriating to say the least. Let's start with the obvious: 1. The campers.
    Now before I go to my review, I wanna say that this is all about the Multiplayer aspect of the game. The campaign is what I enjoyed the most in this game but unfortunately, I'm giving it a 2/10 for good reasons.

    Now I spent a lot of time playing this game, and while I did enjoy some of it, most of it was just infuriating to say the least. Let's start with the obvious:

    1. The campers.

    This is undoubtedly unavoidable as you will always find that one person head-glitching through a window or a small bump just to kill you without even moving an inch. It makes it worse thanks to the Shrek-like footsteps that you can hear from a mile away. But just imagine spending $60 to play a game sitting in a corner, to sit in a corner. 200GB, to sit in a corner. Just stop.

    2. The Cheaters

    Yes, cheating is very common on PC, unfortunately. But since Cross-play is a thing in this game, it's unfair for those on consoles as well. You get aim-bots, wall-hackers and lots more (Thank God there's no God Mode) and unfortunately, the Anti-Cheat does jack **** most of the time. The developers even get innocent players banned... how cool is that?

    3. The Low Tick-Rate Servers

    This is what almost takes the cake on the negative review here. The tick-rate is approx. about 22hz and that is painfully low. You peek out to shoot a guy but guess what, not even 3 bullets but on the first shot with an M13, you die. On the kill cam, he shoots 3 bullets. A billion dollar company can't afford 60hz because Activision.

    4. The overuse of Overpowered weapons (i'm talking about you, 725....)

    Yup, this says it all. M4A1, 725 Shotgun, MP5, every try-hard would use these babies and unfortunately, they're too strong. Luckily, there's always a way to avoid or fight back against them but still, OP is OP. Mixing these with Camping is a ticket straight to a special place in hell.

    5: Aim-assist is too strong

    I've tested this myself to find out that Aim-assist is almost like aim-bot in some cases. It's just too strong. M&K requires skill to control your gun. Controller, gun goes brrrr. This is why Cross-Play is hated.

    And finally, the cake - SBMM

    Yup, Skill-Based Matchmaking in this game is too tight and forced on the CASUAL SERVERS. Meaning that if you're getting too good getting nukes all over the place, you'll suddenly get obliterated by 6 Doom Slayers. (Speaking of which, play Doom Eternal. It's better.) I remember when SBMM wasn't forced on Casual, but Ranked. I never play ranked, cause I'm a casual player. But SBMM be like "Oh, got 30 kills in your first game? Let me put you against Hell itself."

    Casual should not have SBMM. Period. Keep it on Ranked, where it should be.

    And that is it, I can't help but uninstall this 200GB garbage to install a smaller game that's still 60x better than this. I'm going back to DOOM Eternal.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was actually exited about a new COD game for the first time since World At War. Unfortunately, after watching multiple playthroughs and honest reviews I will not be buying this game. This game is straight up anti-Russian propaganda, there is no other way to interpret it really. In English version all of Barkov's man are referred to specifically as "Russian" and not Barkov's man. The game represents those Russians on par with SS (Schutzstaffel) and the atrocities committed by those Russian soldiers as vile as those committed by Nazi soldiers. Such presentation is especially disturbing considering the events of WWII. Some significant events of the game also attempt to rewrite history and shift the blame on the Russian Army where it was not involved in the slightest. This clearly crossed the line from Russia bad kinda of silly story to propaganda. I would not be surprised if this game was actually financed by US Army and US government. No, it is not "just a game" like many like to say. COD has possibly the largest outreach among younger people, therefore it is the most effective way to demonize Russian people in the minds of young Americans and prepare them to kill Russians without remorse.

There is no grey morality in the story like it was promised, it is clear cut good vs evil. Expand

    unfortunately, i have a couple major pet peeves that irritate the heck out of me: 1. unable to skip cinematic scenes. we might have already seen it on a playthrough; we might get the basic gist; in my case specifically, sometimes i do have long work days and it doesn't leave me with much time in the evening, and it's irritating as i stare at the clock as a scene unfolds and i get it already, i just want to play.. 2. it's almost 2020 and i feel like they made a movie with short segments for you to play out.. instead of letting us dictate anything.. i don't need my choices to matter like the Witcher 3, i'll look forward to Cyberpunk for that, but just less linear level design would be nice. seriously, it's a movie with some gameplay.. just when you get comfortable and enjoy a certain weapon, the segment ends, and there goes that.. it's like a movie with lots of short demos; no, i don't want to play/control some little girl, who's dad can't pick her up in battle, and instead i'll slowly follow him through the level.. that's simply not fun (for me).

    it was either the original Modern Warfare, or perhaps, the first Black Ops that i think i really enjoyed last. i wish they transitioned and copied some of the blueprint that Battlefield had, more open/destructive environment etc.

    downloaded 120 gb's for this and 12 hours later i'm uninstalling. disappointed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Had it not been for "grey morality" and "realism" marketing gimmicks, if IW said they make a classic COD plot full of cheesy BS set in a B-movie reality... That didn't happen and now many are spitting from what they got versus the promise.
    It's a COD 4 prequel with a classic crazy BS campaign: there's Kastovia (Donetsk Republic), Urzikstan (generalized Mideastern state retconned to be unnamed country of COD 4), Georgia, Russia and they’re all connected. A baddie Russian general Barkov that has lead a 20 year long Russian occupation of Urzikstan makes his own chemical weapon gas (!) in Georgia (!) and smuggles it to Kastovia, then to Urzikstan to use on civvies. CIA/MARSOC operators raid a Kastovian facility to confirm it but gas gets stolen presumably by baddie Urzikstan terror org Al-Qatala (COD way of spelling Al-Qaeda) but actually turns out to be a baddie splinter group of Urzikstan Liberation Force goodie rebels. Let’s fast forward to Urzikstan where a CIA operative wearing a plate carrier vest disguises himself with a black headscarf (!), openly walks around baddie Russian soldiers who search for rebels (!) and gets away with it (!).
    Enough with synopsis, you get how moronic the plot is from realism POV – same as old CODs, hence B-movie reality, not really your Zero Dark Thirty. It has always been this way to drop the jaw of generic Billy from Oregon and present a clear political message: wars are gritty but necessary and cool, there are baddies and goodies (sometimes goodies are not so goody but then baddies are even worse), NATO troops are generally world’s top goodies and they are almighty because they can pull off almost public black ops like a cakewalk in say Russia (MW shows firefight in Saint Petersburg’s major street because that’s how CIA/SAS operate), BTW you should enlist ASAP if you can.
    There are indeed some hints of "grey morality": that baddie splinter group of ULF goodies that stole the gas to use against its enemies – the baddie Russians/Al-Qatala. Or when NATO operatives do some minor morally questionable things like torturing an enemy for intel, pointing guns at his family to untie his tongue & etc. This kind of "grey morality" isn’t anything new to the series, I remember intel torture back in MW2 as well as other examples. Who is mostly exempt from "grey morality" are the Russians: they exploit, torture, burn, gas, hang and murder Urzikstani civvies for 20 years and we get aplenty exposition to witness it. "Mostly" because there are a few minor characters that are Russian but are goodies, the remaining vast majority are your literal SS Nazis. Plus it's implied several times that the baddie general Barkov is an acting member of the Russian military, though they "disown" him after his death, it’s clear they never did anything to stop him and this "disowning" business (to proclaim him a rogue general?) is obviously a PR damage control move from Moscow. Newsflash: Moscow is a baddie baddie, as most members of the "Nazi" Russian military.
    You don’t even get a trope about some soldiers not sharing the sketchy ideology of their command and showing signs of humanity – like "Nazi" pilot Franz Stigler who spared a wounded B-17 and escorted it to safety, or Cpt. Silas Soule and Lt. Joseph Cramer from First Colorado Cavalry who told their units to hold fire when ordered to shoot Indians during Indian Wars. That would have been *REAL* grey morality, as well as showing that NATO goodies do occasionally commit major cruel atrocities or use a falsely engineered casus belli to start a war. It’s kind of twisted to pretend that things like Haditha massacre or Abu-Ghraib torture didn’t happen by the hands of US in a country invaded after 9/11 without UNSC bill based on a fake chemical weapons sample tube "obtained there". Chemical weapons that were never found, but that ill-founded invasion with all its atrocities helped to spawn ISIS and consolidate many Muslims against everything "western". That generic Billy from Oregon may not know/remember/care for these facts, but I and many others genuinely upset by MW’s deceitful artistic representation of reality do – and the fact that IW markets it as something opposite contributes to the offense.
    If you have played MW, you know my attribution of "goodie" and "baddie" to MW factions is spot on – but in case with *REAL* grey morality that can’t happen per definition. The Expanse is a perfect example of proper grey morality: try to distinguish goodie and baddie factions there. Or Spec Ops: The Line which handles the premise of moral ambiguity like a boss: a feat that means even more if you compare its budget to MW's.
    And fake gun names, seriously? Bobby Kotick didn't spare few $K to license proper names as in the original trilogy? You get a lot of strong womyn though: CIA chief, army general, rebel leader. I’m surprised Cpt. Price isn’t Cpt. Rebecca Price wearing an LGBT patch because she/they/xe is openly lesbian.

Tiene SBMM [Skill Based Machmaking] es decir que te empareja por habilidad y es algo que destroza por completo la experiencia de juego para todos aquellos que quieren mejorar y aprender en cada partida. De toda la vida los buenos cods buscaban partidas por conexión y no por esta herramienta creada por Activisión para proteger supuestamente a los jugadores novatos.

    Los mapas son todos una basura, esquinas, puertas y mil ventanas para favorecer al jugador campero y acojonado que no quiere moverse y le da miedo que baje su KD, los únicos mapas que he conseguido disfrutar son **** Shoot House y Rust.

    No recomiendo para nada el multijugador de este juego si lo que quieres es progresar y sentir que mejoras porque por culpa de su SBMM se te empezará a hacer frustrante jugar buenas partidas, te empezará a emparejar con gente de tu habilidad similar, con la diferencia de que no tomaran objetivos o parecerá que estás jugando la final de la liga de Cod y lo sumas a la cantidad de tramposos que usan hacks últimamente para que luego Activision perdone a 20.000 tramposos y streamers.

    Es el último juego que os compro mientras sigáis con el SBMM, os merecéis un 0 por engañar y dar de lado a la comunidad que tanto os ha apoyado en los buenos y en los malos momentos, sin más que añadir huid de este juego si queréis jugar tranquilos y sin frustraciones

У нас в стране не кто не будет смотреть на рейтинг игры и 90 процентов игроков будут дети и подростки с не окрепшим сознанием, в которое сюжет этой игры въестся очень глубоко. Лично я когда играл в сюжетную компанию испытывал чувства схожие с тем, как тебя оскорбляют и ты не можешь ничего с этим сделать, а в некоторых моментах чувство что ты смотришь видео с мест боевых действий без цензуры и крупным планом и этот момент в принципе не плох, но тогда нужно ставить рейтинг игре как водке в нашей стране 22+ и строго следить за реализацией. Пару слов о мультиплеере: Он все такой же бешеный как и раньше , но из за стрельбы, которая очень хорошо ощущается и звуков , мне вполне понравился. Expand
