    Legit made an account to write this review, as it seems they have monkeys working for activision, remove cold war guns, or balance them before you bring them out, make new attachments and continue support for modern warfare, or dont listen to your fans and end up like atari and sega and **** and just lose your player base I dont care, youll be the new blockbuster of a video game, extint

    Disgusting bugs!

    List of recurring bugs: - The animation is buggy (which causes problems with shooting) when landing, if you land on the surface and immediately jump off. - Boxes fall through textures, which interferes with gameplay. - Grenades are sometimes disabled and grenades cannot be used until death. Imba weapons appear for those who donated. For the rest, the process of    Disgusting bugs!

    This game was fun until they decided to combine it with Cold War, they new guns completely break the flow of the game. Clearly there have been some stealth patches nerfing the weapons from Modern Warfare because they are incredibly useless now. That was a very dirty move to force players to use the new guns.

    Worst servers in FPS history, stutters like a dream on a 1070gtx, latency is through the roof, inconsistent hit registration and bullet damage, sudden packet loss even though internet is perfect, dying in one frame included, dying in 3 bullets from a pistol is frequent ,even though I shot 16 rounds in his chest. I would recommend saving your mental health and never play this garbage joke of a game

    Battle Royale games are inherently bad. The sooner this trend dies off the better for the game industry as a whole. Warzone is no different to other BR games, only this time it comes with 200GB storage requirement which is nothing short of RIDICULOUS.

    A game with this kind of storage requirement better be something special to earn a place on my PC, and this game is not it. Not even close.

Even at high volume, the footstep are still extremely hard to hear. And people easily can sprint close behind you without you even noticing. It's very important because it's very hard to see other players in the realistic environment. I get jump-scared every time somebody comes up close behind shooting me.

    -The time it takes to kill a player is way too short. It's almost totally random who kills who. Players need to be more tanky to make it less random.

    Besides that, 150 players are way too much. Not because of density, but because of how low your chance of winning is. It means you might meet even more amount of skilled players to be able to win.

    The gulag effect might not be positive, because it pushes in even more skilled players to the end game. In total. it makes the game almost impossible to win, and therefore pretty boring to retry all the time.    … Expand

    Great multiplayer, but 50% of the players cheat and there's no concept to do anything about it.

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.

    1) Cross-Play is the biggest joke when it comes to FPS games. No matter what you do there is no way to actually balance out the game play for both PC and Console players. So out the game Warzone is an incredibly imbalanced game. PC players have the advantages of FoV, Graphics, Overlays and much more. Consoles have the advantages of Ping Differentials, Aim Assist and etc. There is no way to properly balance cross-play so why do it? If players at least had the "choice" of whether or not to enter a Cross-Play match then that's one thing..... but forcing PC and X-Box to take part no matter what is something entirely different.

    2) Bugs and glitches run rampant in Warzone from Audio to Visual and everything in-between. Not being able to hear players right next to you in full sprint to not being able to see them at all. If your looking for a beautiful disaster of infuriating bugs and glitches then Warzone is the game for you.

    3) Cheating is on a whole different level when it comes to Warzone simply because Activision has no active monitoring system to stop it. Aim Botters, Wall Hackers, Item Spawners and so on and so forth. There is no shortage of hackers/cheaters in this game and again Activision has no answer for it.

    4) 3rd Party Kits are a big thing in Warzone and if you don't know what those are just google Cronus and let your anger run wild. Controller players for both PC and Console can buy 3rd Party Mod kits to mod their controller to put their Aim Assist to a fully functioning Aim Bot as well as take all recoil out of every single weapon. The best part is because they are modding the controller and not actual game files there is virtually no way of catching them so it seems this level of scum players are here to stay for the long haul.

    Overall Warzone has every potential to be the King-Pin of Battle Royales but in true Activision Money Hungry Fashion they do nothing about it because fixing the blatant problems costs them money and doesn't make them money instantly. Just another case of corporate greed overtaking the beautiful art of game development and maintenance.    … Expand

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

    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.

    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.
