    There are a lot of bugs in the game so far, so I give it an average rating.

    Nevertheless, the DMZ mode is very cool (BR never interested me). You can meet other players, but it's more of a PVE game - calmer, but still with a feeling of constant danger. I'd definitely recommend it to players interested in the Escape From Tarkov formula, but who don't like as hardcore mechanics as in that    There are a lot of bugs in the game so far, so I give it an average rating.

    If they fix the game in the future, it will be an 8 or even 9 out of 10 title. For now, however, I can't give it a higher rating. Constant lag, problems with the inventory and sometimes impossible to complete tasks    … Expand

    Thoughts-
    Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is a strong follow up to what was already a pretty great battle royale. Rather than bringing in sweeping changes, the developers instead opted to make smaller changes that would shake things up on a more micro level, bringing out a surprising level of unique encounters between players. When it comes to the core battle royale, the addition of Strongholds and Black Sites is quite easily the most interesting new feature. Generally speaking, however, DMZ might be the most important and fun new addition to Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0’s offerings by far. Its PvE-centric approach, while fun and addictive on its own, still maintains an air of tension and dread by obfuscating the presence of player-controlled combatants. Its narrative, while minimal, is also an interesting hook to keep players playing. Ultimately, while Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0’s battle royale still might not be my cup of tea, I’m pretty sure that the game has found a permanent home on my SSD thanks to its addictive DMZ mode.    … Expand

    Warzone 2.0 feels like a case of "One step forward, one step back" right now, but Raven are doing the work to get it back up to the level the final months of Warzone 1 were at. DMZ is a cool addition, but I'll admit to mostly sticking to Battle Royale (please add a solo mode to DMZ Raven, it would make it a better experience for lone wolves like me).

    There are also a ♥♥♥♥ ton of    Warzone 2.0 feels like a case of "One step forward, one step back" right now, but Raven are doing the work to get it back up to the level the final months of Warzone 1 were at. DMZ is a cool addition, but I'll admit to mostly sticking to Battle Royale (please add a solo mode to DMZ Raven, it would make it a better experience for lone wolves like me).

    There are also a ♥♥♥♥ ton of technical problems. So many crashes, bugs & general technical issues. It just feels like yet another game that got rushed out the door to meet a release date.

    Honestly, while I'm enjoying Warzone 2.0, I also am a heavily entrenched Warzone vet who's stuck with it through thick & thin. DMZ is worth trying (if only bc it's the most accessible way to try out the Extraction Shooter genre that seems set to be the next big thing), but Battle Royale is in a rough spot right now & Infinity Ward did make quite a few bad design choices when making this game. Hopefully Raven will continue refining this game into what it should have always been & that Infinity Ward is never given so much control over Warzone's direction ever again. They may have conceived this mode, but Raven has proven to be better at shaping Warzone into a fun & enjoyable game that its fans can play for weeks or even months on end…

    Creative score (story, gameplay, voice acting, art direction): 5/10
    Technical score (graphics, audio, optimization): 7/10 (While the graphics & audio in this game are phenomenal, I have to dock points for Engagement Optimized Matchmaking, the instability, glitches & crashing issues))
    Business Practices score: 4/10 (Not terrible, but exclusive content on PlayStation, microtransactions & a FOMO-inducing Battle Pass do knock this game down a few notches (without even getting into the terrible practices of Activision as a company)
    Overall score (my thoughts on a game’s overall quality, doesn’t consider the business practices unless they are detrimental to the experience): 6/10    … Expand

    It is not the 2009 game, NO WAY! It's just a mw2019 reskin and the only cool thing were the 3rd person gameplay, inspect animation on weapons and maybe the campaign! Oh and the calling cards, maybe put world country flags like in mw2019 where there were every nation's flag (I am from Romania and I was so happy to have my country's in my calling card).

But now we don't have country flags because we have 22 lgbtq flags that look cringe. It is a military game and they don't have the U.S flag, the only U.S flag in the game is one burning on the ground on the embassy map. WOKE TRASH DEVS! Stop no one cares about lgbt!… Expand

    For what it is worth, it is fun. HOWEVER, it is a massive departure from what most people would expect from a cod br. The game is riddled with technical problems and the balance is abysmal.

The game is riddled with technical problems and the balance is abysmal. If you were to play warzone exclusively this game is not f2p friendly nor does it even try to make itself appealing to the f2p market. The class system is completely hanging on the fact everyone wants to get their loadout and it takes forever to even get it, much less level up the weapons you want to level up or even getting a mastery camo in warzone. If someone out there is able to get Orion(the highest mastery camo) by only playing warzone, let me know how long it takes you because I bet not a single sane person out there is going to do such a task. Everything but the core gameplay is completely flawed in some manner to the detriment of the 99% of game time. Not to mention the fact that buying bundles and cod points makes the skill based matchmaking even easier for you. (Activision literally has patents for it, not even a joke or a conspiracy). But to the average player, there is no content for you and no progression that is reasonable, mixed with the already strict skill based matchmaking, social experiences that we once had in Call of Duty are being taken away in favor of predatory systems that encourage microtransactions instead of player health. On a side note, no, you cannot one shot headshot someone with a sniper rifle, these are the kind of unnecessary gameplay changes that are forced onto players despite there being no communication with the community at all. Warzone 2.0 could have learned from all of warzone 1's successes and failures to deliver a truly groundbreaking and fast paced battle royale, instead what we got was a cookie cutter battle royale with call of duty core gameplay and an unnecessary shift in the direction of the franchise most of us grew up with.… Expand

    Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is by no means a leap forward, but it is in every aspect superior to its already excellent predecessor. For me, it’s a perfect battle royale, although it’s a shame that right now, plagued by countless technical issues, it looks more like a prerelease build than a finished game.

    Call of Duty Warzone 2.0's revamp is reinvigorating thanks to the social fun of proximity chat and the excellent new DMZ extraction mode.

    At its core, a superb Battle Royale that currently suffers from technical issues and some unfortunate design decisions.
