    Good:
    -150 players
    -Can return from death (Gulag and buying a revive for your teammate)
    -Free to play

    Bad:
    -Graphics glitches
    -Server lagging
    -Poor performance
    -Confusing system for unlocking weapons and "skills" (these in particular are so many with many different names, that I'm still lost in it and still don't know how it works even after spending some time reading it).

    ~6 hours in the game... and i can't play more.

    This game is just mehhh. Slow motion gameplay (especially after apex). Can't jump, can't climbing on walls (hello console players i know you like this). Ttk is worst thing ever. With this animations ttk should be much more. Many features stolen from other games (what is ok) but point of them is missing. Leveling system is kinda ok but i    ~6 hours in the game... and i can't play more.

    While This is undeniably fun, it has some glaring issues that need to be fixed. Movement and gunplay are really well done. With the exception of the Grave oversight of crouch/prone spamming. Love the sliding plays, vaulting is done well, but it is a real buzzkill when you are fighting someone and they are just manipulating a hitbox by spamming buttons.

Love the sliding plays, vaulting is done well, but it is a real buzzkill when you are fighting someone and they are just manipulating a hitbox by spamming buttons.
    The other issue I have is it is kind of pay 2 win. Greed is expected with Activision so it isn't extremely shocking, however it is kind of annoying that if you don't buy the pass you cant unlock a lot of stuff others can.
    1 game breaking thing in my opinion is the idea of these bounties. Marking where people are on the map is super frustrating to deal with. you have a team coming after you with no idea where they are coming from, and they get your location updated constantly to hunt you. Cool concept, broken idea. Maybe if it like placed a mini circle of where they were right when it started it would be a good idea. and give some counter play.

    My final issue is that joining "solo battle royale" isn't solo, its solo squads. I found that out the hard way.

    The pro's however are strong.
    I have no idea what these people are talking about with it being unplayable. I'm on a rather old rig that needs updating, 480x GPU with an AMD 8350, and I run it very smoothly.

    Also not understanding the gun play hate. It is by far better than PuBG and I'd say marginally better than apex legends. Maybe it has CoD in the name so people want to hate it?

    Another big pro for me is the killstreaks... I thought I'd hate it, but god damn is it rewarding in a battle royale game. It really helps dissuade people from just camping constantly so there is action always. Along with the killstreaks the buying system is super solid. Being in a squad and finding enough money to buy your teammate in is a really good feeling. or getting everyone loadouts.

    My final big pro is the idea of the gulag system in this game. It is always really frustrating to be playing well, then die by getting caught in crossfire, it happens but it can be annoying. The gulag system gives you a really good chance to get back into the game by yourself (1 time) by putting you in a 1v1 with a random weapon (usually a pistol or shotgun it seems). So if you are actually good at the game you can easily get a second chance.

    TL:DR Overall a solid game with some glaring issues, But for what it is, most other games don't compare at the moment. Apex is close, but I Think with all the new stuff Warzone brings to the table, and the polish in a lot of aspects, it is a cut above still.

    Edit: lowered from an 8 to a 5, recently hackers and bugs have taken over the game completely. The last patch broke vehicles, so people will run over you through objects and from crazy distances. people having aim and wall hacks has become increasingly more common. And for some stupid reason you cannot lock cross platform play even though there is an option to do it. if you disable it, the game will just tell you it must be enabled for Warzone. In a game like this mouse and keyboard has a clear advantage over a controller in precision. However giving them aim assist is the wrong choice, just keep it separate... I'm tired of watching killcams of people using a controller just spamming the ADS button to constantly track you when the ridiculous aim assist drags them.

    As a side note, people who are having issues playing on PC, check drivers or something else. I have very outdated gear, and I'm getting no fps issues ever. in fact I have yet to drop below 60 fps, and usually am hovering around 80+

    Edit: dont just mark as not helpful because you want to circle jerk people hating on COD. that's what makes this website useless for people actually curious    … Expand

    Es difícil de evaluar, es un juego muy divertido y adictivo, el problema es el juego en sí, sus múltiples errores, bugs, hackers, armas desbalanceadas, problemas de servidor, actualizaciones muy pesadas, etc arruinan la experiencia de juego.

    Играется намного хуже чем Апекс или ПАБГ. Графика говно, стрельба говно, геймплей говно и много читеров. По сути - все эти минусы относятся к любому колофдьютию. Не играйте в такое, уважайте себя!

Apesar do jogo ainda ser rápido, tem um ttk bem maior que nos modos de jogo mais bem conhecidos, como tdm. Os mapas são grandes, mas medíocres. Há lugares que privilegiam muito campers. OS modos de jogo são BR e saque, sendo o mais interessante deles o segundo, que oferece seu próprio armamento numa equipe de três. O BR traz uma função muito interessante chamada Gulag, o que deixam as coisas mais justas e equilibram o game.… Expand

    The game is buggy but playable. After a week or so I nearly don't have those annoying crashes anymore. The game is also quite well executed, I like it!

    All over this game is a pretty good release, but some players may be irritated by the respawn ability...
    But still this game is a good battle royal game and has a satisfiing graphic with a good gameplay. If you are a fan of battle royal I`d definetly recommend buying this game!

    Positive :
    - Goulag system (but would be better with only throwing knife and knife)
    - free to play
    - many players

    Negative point:
    - RPG-7, C4 and the gas mask
    - Can take up space on your hard drive with updates
    - Servers that can sometimes lag

    Quite a boring take on Battleroyale game type in my opinion. It's not a bad game, however just for me it was just too repetitive and had very little innovation.

    Going with a 5 on this one. It’s best to play with friends, that’s where all the fun is. The problem is this game is drained by hackers. The forced skill based matchmaking also makes the game a sweat show for any moderate or better players, and in my case making the game genuinely unenjoyable at times.

Warzone is packed with non-stop action that’s free-to-play and free-for-everyone. You do not need to own the full version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare to download, play and enjoy Warzone. In Battle Royale, fight to be the last squad standing while escaping the deadly gas in the swiftly closing circle with up to 150 players. In Plunder, the race is on to collect the most in-match Cash by looting across the map, taking down enemies to steal their Cash, and completing in-match Contracts. Warzone takes place in Verdansk, an expansive city with multiple named zones and well over 300 points of interest. Each zone features distinct landmarks like the Gorengard Lumber Yard or the Gora Dam; the zones take place across different environment types like cities and rural areas for unique engagements. Change up your drop location in each match to get a better lay of the land and take advantage of what Verdansk has to offer. If you need to get somewhere fast in Warzone, the best method is a vehicle. There are five vehicles all with varying levels of protection, speed, seating, and off-roading capability. Each vehicle has a health meter and when it reaches zero, the vehicle explodes and flames out. Needlessly to say, if the health of your vehicle is depleting, bail out before the impending explosion.

    Als reines Online Spiel konzipiert, wird zunächst der Eindruck erweckt, dass Activision bloß auf der Erfolgswelle der Battle Royal Spiele mitschwimmen möchte. Das Setting und das Gameplay passen jedoch gut zum Battle Royale Konzept. Nach mehreren Stunden Spielzeit gab es bisher wenige technische Probleme, sodass das Spiel durchaus ein hohes Potenzial hat, langfristig motivierend zu sein.Als reines Online Spiel konzipiert, wird zunächst der Eindruck erweckt, dass Activision bloß auf der Erfolgswelle der Battle Royal Spiele mitschwimmen möchte.

    Derivative and at times off-puttingly insistent and flimsy unlocks, it's nonetheless some of Infinity Ward's most considered design in years, and a sign it's ready to get back in the fight. [Issue#346, p.102]

    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.
