    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Actually not a worst Call Of Duty, but still very scripted which is annoying sometimes. For example all these scripted scenes with slo-mo and pistol. One time thru the game - it`s good, it`s normal, two times - not so good, three times - becomes bothersome. Flak missions looks so silly - one man shoot out 15-20 planes, am i playing Just Cause and etc. or WW2 historical game? And i even cant burn my character in bonfire in the Epilogue mission. Add to all this unconfortable interface in Multiplayer mode.… Expand

    The campaign is just some disgusting jewish propaganda where goy abandons his family to save jewish ubermensch. Who cares about gentile and his wife and a child, come back to the front and save a jew! (btw not a spoiler, it was already revealed in story trailer that jew was captured)

    Also it doesn't make any sense how you're fighting Germans for the whole game only to get dissatisfying ending which feels like some holocaust industry propaganda.

    Gentile's life is not important, his family is not important, defeating Germans is not that important anymore, saving life of a jew is the only important thing. Ending completely ruined the campaign for me which seemed fine for the most part (if you ignore the chaotic fights where enemies are shooting you from random directions and you never know which are your allies and which are enemies, scripting is really messed up like in all COD campaigns).

    The multiplayer is OK (better than futuristic fantasy nonsense of IW and BO3), but game has major problems with loading times, maps, headquarters, menus, all load very long (despite my SSD barely doing any work) and all resources are loaded gradually (for example, you join the game and for like 30 seconds you spectate someone running around without gun model, once the model loads you can finally choose your class and join the fight - you won't be able to join the combat until all game models load, which means you will miss first round of S&D).

    Also everything revolves around lootboxes which are shoved in front of your face all the time. The progression system is overcomplicated and forces you to grind hard. Some weapons like MG42 or MP40 are locked until you prestige your division, which takes quite a lot of time, some weapons - Sten, Gewerh 43 - are available during events only - like the current winter event - and require 50 wins to unlock them (btw once the winter event ends you won't be able to unlock those weapons anymore which is weird, because such iconic gun as Sten should be available by default in WW2 game).

    There is no real anti cheat, so you might see lots of cheater in your games (I might be lucky or it's because I play late at night mostly, but I rarely see them, but there's plenty of posts about cheaters in Steam COD WW2 forums).

    Game has horrible lag compensation (as most previous CODs) and very often you are in games where you feel like you can't shoot anyone and some players seem invincible (your shots simply don't register on them, maybe it's the reason people think there's so many cheaters). This is the big issue with COD games for me.

    There is not enough maps in base game, only 9 normal maps and 3 war maps. War is a new mode where you advance through the map by doing different objectives (escort the tanks, steal the fuel, pass the bridge etc.). It's fine, but feels unfinished (for example there's no information who actually won at the end - you win one round (attack), enemy wins the second round (defend) and that's all, you have to figure out yourself who did better). It's hard to say whether those war maps are balanced as the teams are totally random and you don't really know the skill of your teammates and enemies, some games are too easy, some are impossibly hard. There's a hardcore grenade spam happening and it's hard to dodge those grenades as you have many chokepoints on maps. It would probably be better for the game if we just had more regular maps instead of the war mode.

    Overall it's a decent time waster if you like COD games, but prepare for poor optimization, lots of bugs with quests and loadouts (my uniforms and faces like to switch by itself), connection issues (no proper servers and dreadful lag compensation). Don't buy Season Pass, because game is already quite dead (less than 20k players peak, in EU at night I can't find games in less popular modes like Kill Confirmed or Gridiron).    … Expand

Anyways, not sure what all the gripe is about as far as the game goes. Yes, things are out of place (obvious SJW crap) but if you put that all aside, the multiplayer that this installation of CoD offers is actually some of the best it’s been in a while. Now that’s not to say it’s perfect, because it isn’t. Just another standard run of the mill CoD game, but the way it’s presented to you is a lot more exciting. I really do enjoy the social hub and the different objectives you can pick up and complete. Not going to sugar coat it though, those features feel sort of like a rip off of Destiny 1. To keep this review short I’ll sum up by saying that CoD WW2 is not as amazing as intended, but still one of the best “new” CoD multiplayer experiences you’re going to get on PC (this is based on my experience which has thankfully been free of performance issues though). I do however advise against buying it solely for the multiplayer. That price point is nowhere near fair. As for the campaign, I cannot say.

    -game pacing is just dialled to constant shooteybang with barely a rest for the senses and so missions that cover months of story are played over the few hours of gameplay. What would it have been like to watch your friends heal up in the medical camp? Or go through training bootcamp? Or wave goodbye to your loved ones as you step on the boat to go to war with all that hope? Not knowing the hell that awaited you... Feels like a missed opportunity to step aside from the formula.

    Another rip-roaring COD for 3rd nov release date on the nose.... Its activisions 'big mac with fries' and it really is the same every time. Don't get me wrong I love a big mac and fries but with DICE and many others breaking free of their older formulas and mixing things up gourmet stylee for gaming in 2017, I was really hoping Sledgehammer would bring something more unique than 'slightly more pepper'. Like a whole new recipe of different. But activision clearly chose to cash in. So for more classic COD with a fancy new-old WW2skin I give 6/10. I love playing this game but expected/hoped for more evolution. (singleplayer campaign review)    … Expand

I understand that Germany is touchy about nazism in their country but it says in the law that for historical or teaching purposes or art you can use them. And games are form of art these days.

    Graphics are average. Compared to new Wolfenstein or Battlefront, games look bad.

    Sound is quite nice. Explosions and gunplay feels good. Sounds good. It's always good to play this game using good headphones.

    Gameplay - well it's short and it's basically same thing over and over again since COD 1. The main difference is that default difficulty is higher than in previous games. So on normal you can actually die this time.

    Multiplayer - beyond terrible. It's just the same clusterf*** you know from previous games. With bad optimizations.

    Well, although the campaign is much better than the last three entries (BO3, AW, and IW). There are mix of tank section, aviation battle, espionage, and stealth. However, tank and aviation battle especially sucks, because even though they are fun it only lasts about 15-20 min as part of a mission, and NOT as a whole mission. Espionage while entertaining, it's easy enough for anyone with basic stealth instincts can plow through. And Stealth.....oh my god, it sucks. There is so much stealth in this game. You'd think that would be nice taking a break from full frontal combat, but these stealth sections are annoyingly paced. I was expecting a brother-in-arms type of bonding with my npc comrades, but that never happened.

    Multiplayer is also a lot better, but still kinda the same. We finally don't have jet-packs and futuristic abilities, so the gameplay is much more grounded (literally). It's still only fun when you are the one kicking asses, but you'll still be plagued with cheap shots, 6-year olds who apparently did your mother, and those who are better than you. Oh and lootboxes, while unnecessary, shows the greedy corperate bs side of Activision in a full force.

    If you are looking to get COD, WWII is the game I'd recommend(sorta). The game looks great, campaign has its moments, and multiplayer as always needs some serious balancing.    … Expand

    A REAL review from someone who gave up on COD years and years ago. This won't be about the political side of the game. No Swastikas, the lootboxes, female soldiers, etc... this is focused on the GAME itself.

    Graphics- Anyone on here saying "this game looks awful" or "it plays bad" are straight up lying to you. This game is gorgeous and plays extremely well on my PC. Nothing more to be    A REAL review from someone who gave up on COD years and years ago. This won't be about the political side of the game.

    Graphics- Anyone on here saying "this game looks awful" or "it plays bad" are straight up lying to you. This game is gorgeous and plays extremely well on my PC. Nothing more to be said. It looks great maxed out and plays great with no lag so far for me

    Campaign- Enjoyable. Had fun playing through the story although it was quite short (as to be expected from a Call of Duty game) but it kept me playing and there was some good moments to be had. Nothing new really. Usual COD. Although the new health pack system is a really welcomed change from the regenerating health. Could have been longer, but overall a really fun experience.

    Zombies- Garbage. If you're a fan of straight up survival with COD zombies like way back in the day you will hate this. Too much objectives to do, too much other stuff going on. The zombies are a HUGE let down. There are only 2 zombies maps and one of them (the more decent one) has to be unlocked by beating the first **** map. If you're buying this just for some zombie survival type gameplay stay far away. Zombies sucks.

    Multiplayer- Surprisingly not bad. Nothing too crazy, usual COD multiplayer. The "War" game mode is great if you have a good team who play the objective. The main problem is the maps. There are only 3 in "War" and 9 for the core game modes. This is way too small of an amount for a game that has a main focus of online multiplayer. I found 3 of the 9 maps to be pretty bad, 3 to be decent, and 3 were very well done and fun to play on. I feel let down as I know Activision won't add anything in for free so the $60 player is stuck with these maps forever most likely. Main problem with multiplayer is the hit detection. It's absolutely awful. Snipers can 1 hit kill without barely even looking at you, which makes aiming for snipers effortless and it takes a lot away from the competitive aspect of the game. The hit detection and weapon power just feel random, you can shoot someone dead with 3 bullets one minute, then need half a magazine to kill them the next. It feels really off and something that needs to be fixed in a future patch. The social space (headquarters) is useless as well. Adds nothing to the multiplayer whatsoever.

    Pros:
    Stunning graphics
    Good frame rate
    Fun campaign
    Health pack system is a great addition to single player
    War mode is a lot of fun
    Gameplay is solid and fun to play for the most part

    Awful hit detection online
    Zombies leave a lot to be desired

    Но есть и откровенно плохие моменты, связанные в первую очередь с технической реализацией:
    -кривые скрипты (иногда противники начинают спавнится прямо перед глазами из воздуха, иногда также на ровном месте исчезают)
    -стрельба. Для игры, где основную долю времени нам приходится стрелять, получение удовольствия от стрельбы должно играть первостепенную роль. Но, ребята из sledgehammer games считают, что всаживать в противника по 4 выстрела в голову из пистолета или по 2 выстрела туда же из СВТ (калибра 7.62) это нормально; в противоречие себе же разработчики добавили стелс-миссии, где тот же пистолет убивает в голову уже с одного выстрела вместо четырех ¯_(ツ)_/¯
    -постановки спецэффектов. Представьте себе, если бы координатор спецэффектов из фильма Форсаж перешел работать в игровую индустрию. Вот тут примерно такая ситуация.
    Совсем забыл про графику. Обычно к ней придираются в каждой новой части игры. Мне графика в новой Call of duty понравилась, игра выглядит красиво, хотя местами прослеживаются низкополигональные модели из 2010 года.
    Мультиплеер игры наконец-таки перестал быть плохой копией Titanfall и вернулся к тому ,что мы видели ранее. Кардинальных изменений, в сравнении с предыдущими частями COD без вертикального геймплея, как таковых нет. В онлайне можно задержаться на 10-20 часов, потом скорее всего наскучит.

Not having played any CoD game since modern warfare 2 I must say that not much have changed. I bought this game because of the WW2 setting, since I remember how much I loved the Campaign back in the good old Days when CoD first came out. Since then (what is it, 15 years ago?) not that much have changed really. The gameplay is pretty much the same and even the Graphics almost looks the same :). Well to be fair, I'm sure the Graphics is much better nowadays, but let's be clear that compared to Battlefield or any other modern AAA game, the Graphics is very sub-par. Only the cut-scenes provide 2018-graphics. But it still does it's job. After a few minutes, you do get indulged in the game, despite the "ugliness" of it. The story of the Campaign is interesting, believable and has a good (mandatory) variation of stealth, tank driving, vehicle driving, assault and air-plane flying. It is of course an arcade and not a simulation. So be prepared for one Sherman to take on several tigers and one P51 to take down 20+ enemy fighters, but I guess the kiddies demand action and not realism. The Campaign is nowhere near the excellent Campaign of Modern warfare, but at least, I was never bored and the difficulty was about right. The cut-scenes were well made. Coming from more open World like games like Battlefield, you do of course feel a bit claustrophobic since the playable area is very confined, and in most cases there's only one path to go. Some levels (the stealth ones) do however present you with a somewhat larger map where you can choose from at least two or Three different paths. To sum it up: If you want to play an interesting semi-realistic story-driven WW2 shooter Campaign, and can live with dated Graphics and mechanics, then this game is a definitive buy. If you've played any CoD-game Before (even the one that dates 15 years ago) you'll know exactly what to expect.… Expand

    Call of Duty: World War 2 could be the most beautiful and emotional title of the franchise to date, campaign-wise. The campaign is rich with classic world war drama and story-telling keeping players engaged. But the reality is, that short campaign pleasure isn't worth the full price, even with the presence of the multiplayer.

Call of Duty: WWII is anFor a franchise that spans numerous entries Call of Duty has found itself with a legacy which creates a double edged sword. You had games that tried to shake up the formula to varying degrees of success like Black Ops and perhaps most notably Modern Warfare. Perhaps it's equal parts testament to it's success and condemnation that the series can fall into a rut. Call of Duty: WWII is an example of the latter. The touted return to "Boots on the Ground" brings with it a return to the WWII which is my favorite period/conflict. Credit where credit is due? The game does look amazing.

    However in plumbing the depths of this well trod conflict? It feels like Sledgehammer games is marking off a list of check boxes. D-Day? Check. Big ridiculous set pieces? Check. Perhaps that's the biggest problem I had with the game. The bombast and set pieces found in other Call of Duty games don't quite mesh well here. You see a church steeple fall, a train derail, and even have a ridiculous jeep chase sequence.

    To go back to the example of D-day? We once again storm Normandy beach. And while I do commend them for depicting it in horrifying detail? I do feel that the beach is made to feel very narrow rather than the vast stretch of beach it truly was. It feels really constrained. More constrained is the fact that this D-day sequence focuses solely on the beach landings. You see no airborne invasion preceding the invasion. Nor do you see the other allied landings on the other beaches. I feel D-Day has never truly been done justice in a video game because it offers such a limited view of the larger scale of the invasion.

    You do team up with SOE later in the game, but it feels a bit like an afterthought.

    Some of the other issues I had were the excessive quicktime events. They really take you of the game and worse? It felt like many of them were ripped or aped from films like Saving Private Ryan. Knife sequence? Check. Pistol and Tank sequence? Check.

    The other misstep has to do with the characters. I sadly never became truly invested in the characters like I should have. Some of the best war films get you invested in the characters by showing them in their life before they go to war. In Band of Brothers? You spend the duration of basic training with Easy Company getting to know the men. In COD: WWII? Your dropped right in with no attachment to these characters. It's jarring and disorienting. Zussman you kind of get a bit of emotion for. But he was about the only one. Sgt. Pierson is an unlikable jerk. Even as a Sergeant goes you get the impression that he has a blatant disregard for the lives of his men. I understand what they were trying to do with him but I don't know if it was executed all that well.

    Then we have the multiplayer. I still find it incredibly distasteful and tacky that they have lootboxes and any form of monetization on "Normandy Beach." It feels sleazy in any other game but it feels particularly dirty and disrespectful here. Even if it is a virtual representation of the beach. This is made even worse when these are opened in front of other players. It's disgusting.

    And then we have the ludicrous situation where you have black females for the "Wehrmacht." It comes across as incredibly tone deaf. Does Activision not realize that the German military were fighting for a dictator who was promoting ideas that are rearing their head even today? If they really wanted the diversity in the multiplayer portion of the game? They could have modeled a black man based on the tuskeegee airmen or the all black tank destroyer batallion known as the black panthers. And as far as women go? They could have british SOE, or russian female snipers. Fortunately they didn't go to the extent Battlefield V did in their single player campaign.

    I picked this game up cheap during a steam sale. Thank god. If you are looking for an authentic WWII shooter? There are other games that are better offerings. Red Orchestra 2, Rising Storm, Hell Let Loose, Battalion 1944 all are recommendations I would give.    … Expand

The single player campaign is solid, with some missions being excellent and others being quite forgettable. This is one of the few Call of Duty games where I found myself actually getting immersed in the setting, which is largely due to the game's excellent visuals and character animations. The multiplayer is very 'standard', even for a Call of Duty game, with a hub world that is pointless and microtransactions/lootboxes that are shoved in your face. Nothing about the multiplayer is 'new' which makes it feel a little underwhelming and boring. The zombies mode is decent but definitely not the best in the series by any means. Overall, I feel that this game is well put together but it definitely comes across as unoriginal and generic, however I still feel its worth experiencing for anyone that likes WWII settings and if you are a big fan of the franchise then you will likely enjoy what the game has to offer.… Expand

    Although CoD:WWII is somewhat fun and graphically awe-inspiring, the campaign's linear playstyle and the randomness of the MP puts off my experience. You'd be better off getting Black Ops 2 or Modern Warfare if you want a boots on the ground experience.    … Expand

Simplemente hice lo mas estupido y me deje llevar por el hype y por la nostalgia, en este caso de la segunda guerra mundial y asi poder revivir momentos como los del COD 2 por ejemplo y es lamentable que en todo lo que intenta falla miserablemente.

    SINOPSIS

    La trama gira en torno a Red Daniels y su grupo de compañeros con los que viviremos en primera persona la ocupación de Francia, la ocupación de Bélgica y el cruce desde el río Rin hasta Alemania.

    PROS

    1-La ambientacion me gusta, todo lo relacionado con aquella guerra me encanta por ello me fascinan juegos como cod 1 o 2 incluyendo los medal of honor.

    2-Hay momentos contados con los dedos de una mano en los que podemos ser sigilosos, pero podemos dejar de lado el sigilo e ir a saco matando a todo lo que se nos cruce por delante.

    3-Un detalle que me gusta es que es mas sangriento y visceral de lo que se ha visto antes.

    4-Hay poco con referente al modo zombie pero es lo que mas me gusta de los cod.

    CONTRAS

    1-Conexion en el multijugador: Este es por lejos el problema mas grave de todos, el juego usa el sistema de HOST es decir que el juego designa el jugador con la mejor conexion para que sea el host de la partida y ahora ¿que hay de malo en eso? ejemplo: si el juego te mete a una partida con un frances el cual tiene mejor conexion que todos el sera host y la partida ira bien para los que sean de europa y yo que soy de latinoamerica tendria un ping por sobre 200. Explicar porque el juego te mete con gente de otros continentes es dificil, por lo que se sabe el juego reune una serie de factores tanto conexion, score, ratio v/d, tu habilidad en general etc y junta a la gente en una partida es basicamente un algoritmo que usa el juego para crear partidas. En mi experiencia 6 de cada 10 partidas tengo una conexion penosa, ni hablar de que el juego esta quedando muerto y esta costando encontrar partidas.

    2-Pudieron haber tomado esta ambientacion para hacer una historia genial y hacer batallas a gran escala con muchos soldados en el campo de batalla y teniendo la posibilidad de jugar en distintos bandos pero como siempre el juego esta cerrado solo al ejercito estadounidense, con una historia sin nada del otro mundo totalmente predecible y nada nos va a sorprender.

    3-En toda la campaña no empatice con ninguno de los compañeros de Daniels, no se llega a saber practicamente nada de ellos por lo que no se le toma casi ningun aprecio.

    4-La IA la siento mas torpe que en entregas anteriores tus aliados no le dan a nada, tu tienes que hacer todo el trabajo y con ello viene la increible capacidad que tienen los enemigos de resistir tus balas, los enemigos se sienten mas resistentes que antes practicamente son sacos que retienen plomo.

    5-Quizas a sledgehammer le parecio una buena idea poner vida no regenerativa pero el juego sigue estando diseñado para el tipico sistema de vida regenerativa, olvidate si quieres jugar en curtido o veterano.

    6-El rendimiento es malo comparado con titulos anteriores y esto puede sonarles tonto pero tuve problemas de rendimiento en la campaña y no en el multijugador. El juego lo tengo desde el primer dia de su lanzamiento asi que con todos los parches que han sacado puede que lo hayan arreglado, no he vuelto a tocar la campaña asi que no puedo asegurarles que esto haya mejorado.

    7-El multijugador en general es lo mismo de siempre no hay muchas vueltas que darle a pesar de haber añadido el nuevo modo llamado "War" el cual no es malo pero no es lo suficiente para darle mas frescura al multijugador.

    8-Graficamente no es la gran cosa hasta el Battlefield 3 tiene mejores graficos y eso que es un juego de 2011.

    9-Habian cheaters en la beta y sigue habiendo ahora.

    10- Y los logros? tiene solo quince logros (el multijugador) los cuales son una porqueria recuerdo el Black Ops III que tenia casi 100 logros los cuales eran desafiantes e incitaban a jugar y desbloquearlos.

    CONCLUSION

    El juego no sabe dejar malos habitos y no quiere reinventarse, este juego para mi ha sido una decepcion a nivel de campaña y multijugador.    … Expand

    People are way too harsh on COD:WWII. I actually really liked the campaign and believe that the story was good (at least the cinematic story telling portion of the story).

I actually really liked the campaign and believe that the story was good (at least the cinematic story telling portion of the story). Only complaint is that the campaign wasn't long enough so it couldn't really develop more of the characters. In the end though, you really get to care about Daniels and Zussman, and understand the effect that war has on people (Pierson). It was very patriotic and promoted self-sacrifice and responsibility, which the world needs a lot more of. I absolutely HATE SJW stuff, and so glad that this game doesn't have any of that. It was true to history in the sense that yes, there were women in the SOE and they mainly did covert missions, and that blacks were not front line combatants, but were pushed to engineer and support/artillery roles; however, there were all black fighting units in the Ardennes and having Howard there was pretty cool. Having diversity for diversity sake is the stupidest thing ever, but following history and showing elements of what actually could have happened takes great writing that doesn't try to push an agenda.

    The campaign can be improved with the following 1) Get rid of quick time events (these things suck). 2) Stop yelling at the player to move on or forward to the next waypoint. Say it once then shut up. Otherwise, enforce a consequence to not following the orders. 3) Make it longer. 4) Get rid of multiplayer... so you can focus on making a longer campaign. 4) Add RPG elements... so you can take over writing stories and action sequences for games like Fallout because Bethesda sure as heck won't be doing anything good anymore.

    I would like the price to be cut to about $35 or so for just the campaign portion --I got a sale so it worked out for me. However, if you pack more stuff into the single player, I would gladly pay $60 or so for it.    … Expand

    The new Call of Duty is like a shopping list, in which the devs list one second-rate cliché after another. It's not always for the sake of it, but it's already making the WWII unique that everybody should play. [Issue#280]

    A magnificent, but also a sympathetic, unpretentious return to the roots of the series. Yet the campaign is short-lived, and your next experience depends on how much you enjoy the multiplayer and/or shooting Nazi zombies.
