    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.

    Even though story is filled with cliché, and overall very predictable it was one of the best single-player experiences in the franchise.

    Stupid, boring, waster of money and time. Possibly the worst COD so far. Controls and game play are both horrifically bad. Do not get this game.

    Pros:
    -The game looks great. The details in some of the cutscenes made my jaw drop to the floor. It isn't Battlefield 1 level of detail but it's still pretty good
    -The campaign was actually pretty damn fun. At least to me. To be fair this may be because i love the WW2 scenario but screw it, it's my review and my opinion.

    Cons:
    -The multiplayer (which is why most people buy this franchise) is just as terrible as ever. Incredibly small maps,no strategy what so ever, and there are the classic 12 year olds calling you a **** all the time which by now is the standard for COD
    -I think everybody saw this coming. Lootboxes. It's pretty much the thing for the video game industry for 2017. If this continues in 2018 we're well and truly **** folks.

    Overall, i had a lot more fun with COD:WW2 than the other recent installments in the series. But that may be because of my liking of the campaign.    … Expand

    Boringest Call of Duty that put me into sleep with first minutes of gameplay. I really liked Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare for their awesome futuristing setting, and I completely bored, annoyed of WWII theme in 2000's.
    I want back AW/IW-like CoD games. That was awesome

    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)

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

    Campaign is very short, small maps and story is not that engaging. Multiplayer is a complete disappointment. 6 on 6 with small maps is boring and repetitive. Lost interest quickly. Save your money. I was really hopeful. I’m done with this franchise.

    game is way to expensive. campaign lookds and sounds great but is short and not worth it. multiplayer is the same as usual, if youve played mw2 youve played ww2.

    zombies mode is the main reason i bought it. none of my friends had the money to spare for just that game mode.

    CoD WWII is the worst game from whole series. Graphics is more or less good, but single player is a huge Joke. You just walk through tunnel. AI is super stupid, no invention at all. In comparison to Battlefield 1 this game is trash. Multiplayer is lagging, small maps, no vehicle support, boring environment. I do not recommend this game. Rather buy BF1 with all DCLs for 30 dollars on Black Friday.

Works if you just want to come in, finish an operation and get your fix. Guns feel good and head shots are satisfying.

    Then there are these tank tasks where you are expected to sneak behind a tank and blow it up. Extremely boring. I guess its because the regular push and shoot gets old, but eh, it's what I'm here for.

    As for the story, forgettable. Found myself not caring for the progression of the characters at all. No NPC held any weight through out the missions and they all seemed disposable. That is until the last 3 missions where things really picked up and climaxed to a great ending. Liked it more than I thought I would.

    Not based on WWII but just another franchise on call of duty. Why won't this die already? Like there are different types of call of duty summary stories out there and they can't just let this die and start a new original game but no they have to create from scratch not based on story line. Only the fans rate this 10 because they're call of duty fans and that's their childhood.

    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.
