    You cant leave spawn without having 5 different angles watching you
    Less than half the guns are useless the LMG has no place in this game SMG=Some AR and most LMG
    AND now the audio is terrible Someone could fully sprint at you and you wont hear it
    Someone could shoot your teammate beside you and you wont even notice it
    the coop specops never played it since it wasn't it included with pc version
    Warzone was unnecessary the company is clearly trying to milk our money from us they could've focused on making one game instead of two since they are incompetent
    I got a tons of cons but Im done for now I uninstalled it wish i could get my money back gave it a chance during release when i couldn't play for the first few months due to their incompetent coding which caused crashing but i was patient and hoped they fixed but ultimately I was disappointed LAST COD I EVER BUYING    … Expand

    This game has a pretty good campaign when it works which I would give an 8/10 had I been able to play it properly from start to finish. The issue, however, in this game is the terrible cutscenes in between missions that don't play properly. They stutter and buffer from start to finish and I had to quit the campaign and watch it in the menu just to see what the context was each mission. IThis game has a pretty good campaign when it works which I would give an 8/10 had I been able to play it properly from start to finish. The issue, however, in this game is the terrible cutscenes in between missions that don't play properly. They stutter and buffer from start to finish and I had to quit the campaign and watch it in the menu just to see what the context was each mission. I had to wait days to even start playing it because the game would keep crashing all the time in the same spots. Price is still pretty cool.

    The multiplayer however is very bad compared to the classic games that this game is trying to appeal to. The new maps specific for this game are for the most part seem fine but the main thing that trashes everything is this the horrendous respawns. You can literally be killed and spawn in front of the same enemy that kills you sometimes. This creates a big issue with the way a vast majority of people play the game and that's camping. So the way people used to play the previous games was using the keyboard and pressing the forward key (w) but in this game, you get punished for doing that because of horrific spawns. You get spawned far too close to enemies most of the time depending on the map and it really makes you want to stay still cause they will simply walk around the corner and you can kill them. The servers as well are really laggy and you'll end up rubberbanding so often.
    If these developers ever decide to fix the spawn locations where you spawn away from the enemies regardless of where your team is then I'll consider this a decent game that I'd recommend to people. Otherwise this doesn't capture the magic of why I loved the modern warfare series at all.

    The maps also need more flanking routes in order to eliminate the problem of campers. The maps need to encourage people to get up and move otherwise they should just make more maps like shipment and rust which are just cluster ***** but fun and equal for everyone. Basically, story is ok, multiplayer is not ok at the moment.    … Expand

    I stayed in the game for more than 400 hours and I was tired of playing on some cards, plus some I didn’t like some, why didn’t I have the right to choose? Why should I skip a card 5/6 times until I find something suitable for me? maybe it's better to play games where there is a choice of a damn card?

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.    … Expand

    TL;DR: This game is so poorly optimized that when the EU introduces more consumer rights regarding software by the end of 2021, I'm certain this will actually be illegal to sell. Activision will have either fixed these problems by then (as if) or stopped selling it.    … Expand

Кампания за повествование откровенно говоря заслуживает 0, максимум 1-2 бала. Игровая же механика в мультиплеере и в кампании как по мне заслуживает 9-10 балов, тк очень хороша. Если говорить о кампании, в ней нас встречает сомнительная пропаганда против вооруженных сил РФ к тому же плохо состряпанная. Хотите показать плохую сторону ВС РФ? Пожалуйста, только возьмите действительно стоящие эпизоды: такие как антитеррористическая операция "на Дубровке", бомбардировку Грозного, использование систем залпового огня Град против деревень в Чечне, аннексия Крыма, участие в конфликте на Донбассе это хотя бы эпизоды которые имели место быть. Ну ок, война то в игре выдуманная,но где же "серая мораль" войны? Почему в кампании не показаны негативные стороны как действует американское правительство? Например, бездействие спецслужб при подрыве какого нибудь всемирного торгового центра, с последующей эскалацией конфликта на Ближнем Востоке и использование этого теракта для оправдания военного вторжения в другое государство? Или операции направленные на контроль нефтяных месторождений? Если вы действительно хотели показать "серую мораль" войны, достаточно было просто взять эпизоды из настоящих военных конфликтов и интегрировать их в выдуманный конфликт, показывая негативные стороны каждого участника конфликта.
    Теперь переходим к положительной стороне игры, это именно техническое исполнение:отличный звук, отличная стрельба и баланс оружия, интересные игровые режимы, особенно после добавления Warzone, могу даже добавить что кампания вполне увлекательная получилась.

This game just feels like it was put together by entry level developers and rushed out the door for a quick pay day which coming from Activision it's not surprising. The Warzone is F2P which is nice so you can check out this dumpster fire for yourself but there are much better options out there that are also F2P. Apex Legends has this game beat by a mile, heck even the children's game Fortnite is better than this. The only thing this game has going for it is the revive system. You can either fight in the Gulag, you win your back, you lose you wait for your teammates to gather the cash to buy you back in. That is the only reason I give this a 1 instead of a 0.… Expand

    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]
