    Was really fun for a while, that is until the skid cheat downloaders caught up to the game.
    The last time I tried to seriously play the game I tried both the team and solo version and out of 150 players a big percentage of them were cheats.
    Players were spamming "person radar" when they just landed. There is no way they could have had them because it right when the game started (not    Was really fun for a while, that is until the skid cheat downloaders caught up to the game.

    It's free to play but what is the point if the game has no anti-cheat?
    Plus the game crashes so much it's annoying. There is no point player this game if/until they add a anti-cheat to the game.    … Expand

    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.

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

    I'm sorry to burst everyone's bubble but Warzone doesn't hit it for me anymore. They've adjusted the health and revamped UI which is all positives. But I can't bring myself to play it often as much on PC due to it taking up +90GBs on my 512GB SSD. Come on, optimize the game more! And actually make it stable and fun. Vanguard's integration genuinely sucks.

    16GB RAM is not enough for this product - crashes.
    Barely possible to start playing due to matches vs strong experienced players.
    Very long match search.

    This game is a joke.

    Cons:
    Sound is terrible
    Graphic washed out
    major fps drop going from 144fps to 75fps at random time
    weapons suck ass
    Planes
    Saturation too high
    Contrast too high
    I do not enjoy at all

    Pros:

    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.

    Servers are abysmal. There's nearly no balance to the RNG guns for when you first drop. Mostly I hate this game because it relies so much of instant gratification. 22 kills and dead to a dude in a corner. Its just trash. Dont bother having great internet, it'll work against you.

    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.

Its gameplay is boring and generic as it follows all the basic battle royale tropes but with the CoD layout just to try and make it feel different. It absolutely fails this and makes it feel only the same as Black Ops with a bigger map. The graphics are another thing in this game that is embarrassing as well. Even with my RTX 2060 at HD and medium settings, this game looks like a mobile game despite being made by a AAA company. I could also mention all the lazy microtransactions that Activision try to force down your throat. (these are only cosmetic, however) its poor skill curve, plus hackers (which CoD has done some work on) and you have a failed game. It's a shame that games like this have come out in the last few years as they are only lazy cash grabs and trend-chasing. I think the best thing for Activision to do to recover from this is to never make a CoD game again and/or fix the ones they already have made.… Expand

    So before I adress the gameplay- I want to mention that the piss poor optimization is part of the reason for such a low score. No game should take up SEVERAL HUNDRED GIGABYTES worth of data installed on your hard drive in order to be played. Compress something. The audio, the textures. Something. There's no excuse for 1 game mode to be so goddamn bloated with data.

There's no excuse for 1 game mode to be so goddamn bloated with data.

    The game looks and runs like a turd on mid-tier build. I don't have the latest hardware- but goddamn even cyberpunk 2077 at launch ran better on my rig than this POS *EVER* has.

    I also shouldn't have to wait 10-30 minutes for MOTHER****iNG SHADERS TO INSTALL EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. THERE. IS. A. USELESS. UPDATE. ADDING. MORE. GUN. SKINS. TO. YOUR. SH**TY. E-SHOP.

    Install them before the game launches- instead of making me wait at the menu while the game gets its head out of its own *ss.

    But regarding the gameplay-- this game is a PRIME example of how power creep can ruin a game that used to be somewhat balanced and fun. They took a good game- (COD:MW Remade) and turned it into a battle royale. And then, they took a terrible -to- mediocre AT BEST game (COD: Cold War) and integrated it into their PERFECTLY OKAY game. Now what you have is a terribly balanced game, that plays nothing like it did at launch-- with a terrible breaking-bad-in-mexico-type-visual-filter over it (that you can't f**king disable) so you don't forget that the Verdansk is set in the ir terribly executed cold war storyline.

    We're not even going to talk about the rampant cheating and non-action that Activision has taken against hackers and cheaters in this game. Battle passes are selling- all is right in the world.    … 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.
