    Disaster, this game is unplayable on PC, freezes, crashes, graphics bugs, lag...
    And the gameplay is awful too, very frustrating.

    The funny thing is that Activision pretends you to buy the full game after all this terrible experience, are you kidding me?

    Random crashes. Alot of lagging, terrible performance with FPS droping even to ZERO. Bad game design where you can just buyout your wiped squad for laughtable ammount of ingame money and throw them dream loadout. Terrible bounty system that let you hunt down marked enemy or just loot free boxes and get rewarded on top of that. And one big thing CoD+FREE=TONS OF HACKERS.

That sh*t sucks so much that you can't tell if the enemy is shooting two meters from you or a f*cking thousand. Sounds are sometimes so f*cked that you are able to fly a helicopter to a guy stading on a roof and f*cking yeet him with it because he can't bloody hear you.. and footsteps, oh boy. Sh*thole game, I sincerely advise you to not play this mess if you don't want to get brain damage. P.S. You can't disable crossplay so be prepared for peasants with aim assist to snap laser you.… Expand

    Faux-competative title. Warzone has the worst higreg in any modern game and aim assist is basically an aimbot for console players

    Game is awful. When you're not getting killed by Timmy's camping on rooftops and inside buildings, you're getting squad whiped by XingPinPao and his merry band of Chinese cheater goons. You can mow someone down with a rifle from 300 meters apparently and sniping is just an easy mode campfest. Stun grenades last until you're in the retirement home.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was first amazed by the game until i enabled the crossplay. i have over thousands of hours playing games like Battlefield(all of them), Counter-strike 1.6/Source/GO, PUBG(i bought the game on the first day it came out as Alpha), APEX, COD, MOH and many many more i've got over 50% of my free time weekly playing video games, having over 300 games on steam/origin/epic games/uplay/battle.net/PS4/xbox.
    This game got potential to be probably the best of this kind, its still an Beta version, they got a lot to solve/fix: Hackers, Sound, jumping bugs, lag, disconnection problems, the social menu doesnt work properly, the reporting system its a joke, as you gotta scroll down a list of hundreads of players to find the name of that **** that was hacking( Crossplay always off now), i had like dozens of times bugs picking up gas masks, armor, guns...sometimes i cant use armor plates , worst is picking up a weapon and i cant see the gun, the cross or even the arms/hands and i can shoot without any visual over what im holding there. i know its a Beta im happy the game is free because i wouldnt buy another COD in my life yes its true, but if they want me to spend some € on season pass they gotta fix stuff. what about trying to get alone on BR Trios or Quads and only 1 out of 5 times getting squad members??? Fun??? Right??? or just starting with some guys they die and they just leave game and leave you alone even when you had money to get them back!? Some punishment system would be awesome just like Riot does 20min delay on getting the next match...i've over 30 wins on over 300 BR, i still find the BR a good thing to have fun with friends...i just met like dozens of players from all over my country and we play now mostly everyday and chat, the game needs a better social plattform! Report System!!! ANTI-CHEAT!!! PUNISHMENT SYSTEM FOR LOSERS THAT QUIT AND LEAVE OTHERS SOLO!!! BETTER AUTO-MATCHING PLAYERS!!! 1-5 GAMES YOU GET A FULL SQUAD WHILE YOU TRY BR TRIO/QUADS!!! I SMELL ANOTHER PUBG...it was FUN it had potential , but now its a cheap Chinese game.

    This game is currently unplayable due to cheaters. I don't want to dramatize, but according to my estimates, 30-40% of my deaths are suspicious and another 20% are one hundred percent cheaters. I will not say anything about endless technical problems ... It is POSSIBLE to play with them normally, but with such a number of cheats it is easier to go to play tanks.

    100gig+ and it's completely unplayable. So stuttery and laggy that you can't do anything. Turning every setting to low and changing gfx cards settings didn't change anything. The last time it stuttered, it froze so hard that it kicked me off the server.

    The fact that the game crashes whenever my FPS goes above 60 is just annoying. No thanks make it paid but fix its bugs and crashes. The textures don't load also. Another insult to injury for this game is that people use vehicles to run other players over. No thanks, I will pass on this one.

    -No footstep audios, always inconsistent.
    -Unrealistic physics.

    Its biggest pro is crossplay allowing you to play with friends from different systems. Other than that its a standard battle royale with the addition of missions as not to make it that boring.

    Simply the worst game of all time, nothing about this is good at all, Complete Hack Fest and on top of that the servers are 12HZ its a full blown embarrassment. I have a 3090, I9 9900K Build (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/V68qfP) and this game still struggles at 60FPS on medium settings its a joke. I want the money back that i spent while my PC was on using electricity to download this game.

    -contract/Recon/Bounty objectives are a nice touch -store -gulag (the idea, not the execution of it) -most of the map design -graphics -most animations Cons: -unbalanced weapons -too easy to get money and buy a loadout(even after nerf) -(there should be a money cap to like 10k or something) -vehicles are too strong -circles are terrible.

    -vehicles are too strong
    -circles are terrible. Sometimes the begging circle is 75% in water or in a restricted area
    -SOUND DESIGN IS NOT EXISTENT, FROM GUNFIRE TO FOOTSTEPS/VEHICLE SOUND. You hear shots from over 100m away better than the ones close to you (OR COMING AT YOU)
    -suppression when you get shot is terrible in any COD game and this one is not an exception
    -aim assist for console players is borderline aimbot, just remove crossplay or don't help them that much
    -netcode is the worst in any BR game ever made. 12Hz servers are a joke.
    -server issues and lag spikes all over the place
    -bullets seem to stick to people you are shooting at
    -lack of information for everything
    -game menu is unintuitive and needlessly complicated
    -pinging is done poorly and lazily
    -starting plane intro when entering a match has to go
    -rocket launchers need a nerf
    -gas mask animation should be removed
    -graphic glitches and rendering issues
    -some game settings break your game and destroy your FPS, even though they shouldn't

    I want to like this game because there is something special hidden under the layer of **** and piss that we got.

    The game is damn good, however, it seems you're punished for being a good player and not using auto aim, since people that use it have guaranteed headshot. There are a lot of bugs and the auto aim ruins the game. It should have separate servers for real players and for people that don't know how to aim. I'm really disappointed, this could be a great game.

    Has potential as a Call of Duty game, but in that regard fails to deliver essential features and infrastructure and doesn't seem to be improving with time. The primary flaw, in my opinion, is performance; absolutely hogs RAM on PC, and the frame rate is not consistent, fluctuating from 50-90 FPS regardless of GPU or CPU load. Good PC or bad, this problem will show itself.

    The second and certainly not the lesser issue is the lack of functional anti-cheat. Players with aim-bot or permanent super-UAV(the kind you'd see in pre-game warm-up that ignores Ghost perk) are countless and even if they get banned, it's a free to play game and they can simply make a new account to continue.

    There are "stealth" balance changes that do not appear in patch notes which are highly annoying and don't make much sense. The battlepass system is tacky, and based on what I've seen and experienced just recently, where the gameplay is just getting worse and worse with the influx of cheaters, there is absolutely no reason you or anyone should spend money on this game.

    Try it maybe, but otherwise only stick to the free version and wait until a real anti-cheat system is implemented. Deplorable game as-is that showed promise and hasn't delivered into its "Season 3".    … Expand

Most of the walls, rocks you can climb but there are rocks/walls smaller that you can't climb. Sometimes you can pick and see behind a corner and sometimes it positions you in such a way you can't see anything. I can go on about broken things that you will constantly deal with and constantly die because of them. Someone's shooting you want to open a door just to find out that a particular door is just a texture.

    Car physics is soo broken that when I drive around I can get 15 kills because cars can climb hills, without slowing down. They got on reverse at the same speed as forward. BF has far better vehicles than this game. And the are 1 hit kill.

    The game also has a lot of RNG based damage. The spread of some guns makes them random killing machines. One kill cam showed a guy destroyed my entire shield by shooting me once in a foot.

    Sound design kills the game. The footstep sounds of your allies is heard from mile away but sometimes you cant hear enemies running behind you. Even if you hear the sound the directions is not clear because the audio is bad. You can't hearly hear if he is close or far, left or right.

    I like the customization in this game and the graphics look good. But everything else makes this game very childish to play.    … Expand

    Call of Duty: Warzone is a shockingly addictive free-to-play shooter. It is highly polished and entirely self-contained, so you don't need to purchase a mainline Call of Duty game to frag your friends in thrilling battle royale action.

    Warzone is one of the best Battle Royale out there, with great visuals and fantastic and original ideas… and also some hacking issues. The foundation is incredibly solid, and now it’s only up to Activision keeps updating it and making it cheater-free.
