    This game is very fun to play with friends, and it has the best tension feeling i´ve seen in any battle royale. Good gunplay as every Call of Duty has, and very good graphics and optimization. I also love the gulag, it is a very good idea in my opinion.

    Was great in Modern Warfare times but they milked the **** out of it, integrating with other games causing it to be an unplayable mess. Still giving this one a decent score for Modern Warfare times.

    El juego está bien, pero sinceramente, lo de las armas meta está muy desvalanceado y se siente muy injusto. Buena experiencia pero a mí me gusta poder plantarle cara a mis enemigos en vez de ser desintegrado en menos de 1 segundo por un crío de 10 años solo porque él tenía un arma mejor.

    Decent BR. It was fun for a long while until it got very very repetitive with the metas being the same and everyone using the same guns. It became less important to get good loot.

    The loading time will blow your mind when you queue for 4 minutes and drop dead like in 2 minutes.

    better play this game with SSD.
    despite plenty bugs, contents in the battle pass is really worth your time playing.

    I know it's a free to play but it's boring and slow, it feels like a CoD4: MW nerfed with current graphics.

    PS. why the hell did they make a horrible Soap model having the remastered version of MW2?

    The game is really good. I played CoD franchise since long time and enjoying it. Multiplayer is awesome, but the latest update for Verdansk with extreme sun brightness is bad.

    El juego es divertido, no me malinterpretes, pero la integración de Cold War y Warzone ha hecho que el juego sea insoportable para mí y para muchos otros. Las armas de la Guerra Fría son completamente diferentes a las Warzones y MW. Son más rápidos y causan más daño. Simplemente no encajan en el juego.

    The game is fun don't get me wrong, but the integration of Cold War and Warzone has made the game unbearable for me and many others. The Cold War guns are completely different to Warzones and MWs . They are faster and do more damage. They just don't fit the game.

    Warzone is in the middle for me especially since the merge with Cold War which clearly made it worse with bugs, glitches, and broken weapons I would only play it to grind out some XP or have some fun with friends.

    The concept of a call of duty battle royale is awesome, They implemented so many fun things no other battle royale game could've thought of, From custom load-outs to the gulag. This game was a fun idea. But it gt ruined. This game was on track to be the greatest battle royale ever but SBMM made it the worst. Its unenjoyable with SBMM and it needs to go.

    I can describe this game in one word - huge. Many guns and possibilities to modify them, makes games fun when you finally find your style to play. Map is huge which makes the game even better, although, you have to stay alert all the time because people ale everywhere. I love new type of reloads and animations, these are very pretty and satisfying. Game size is huge, I played for long timeI can describe this game in one word - huge.

    Warzone is a game i recently dove into, and with it being a constantly evolving multiplayer battle royale this review may change. However in it's current state the game is pretty enjoyable as a means for some mindless fun and it even has some features I really appreciate.

However in it's current state the game is pretty enjoyable as a means for some mindless fun and it even has some features I really appreciate. However it is just a another battle royale and it has crippling flaws.

    Verdansk is a great map. First and fore most one of the best aspects is the map design. It has a lot of variety from place to place in terms of how you can approach engagements and it's large but still dense with many action packed areas.

    In terms of gunplay and sound design, this game takes everything from modern warfare (2019) and all the weapons sound powerful and feel punchy and responsive. Good sound for the weapons and reload animations are smooth and crisp. Even thought the game has an armor system, fights never drag out too long or turn into a game of attrition with players replacing armor constantly, which is great.

    Another aspect I really enjoy is how the game approaches death. In normal battle royales death usually means the end but here it's only an inconvenience. Similar to a game like apex legends, you can go to a specific place to respawn a lost team mate however you'll have to collect some cash to do so. Also the first time the player dies they are sent to the gulag which is a 1v1 arena with another player who died and you get one last shot at redemption, however you have to earn it. You still get penalized with loosing all your gear but this system feels very well crafted and the engagements in the gulag are some of the most fun in the game.

    In terms of visuals it is definitely a downgraded modern warfare, but with the larger scope of the map and the amount of chaos, I can live with this compromise. The map feels well crafted in terms of feeling like a real environment and the game still looks pretty impressive aside from the horrendous pop ins and visual bugs you might get.

    Now for the issues. Really poor compression means you may have to delete a ton of games just to keep it on your system. It isn't really acceptable for the size to be this big and is a huge factor in why some players may stick with other games like Apex Legends or Fortnite or whatever else. This is a huge issue I don't see getting fixed. Another issue is those pesky microtransactions....Activision proves they never learn. Getting cosmetic stuff with real world money is fine in my books but the amount they charge is just absurd and not worth it. The progression without using real world money is non-existent. Also on top of this they think it is okay to sell guns you can get from loadouts drops on the map for REAL MONEY. Literally weapons that can give you a huge tactical advantage for paying your real world cash. No doubt some players are gonna use this and cause balancing issues with the game and this is a blatant "pay to win" type system.

    I can see this game going very far and maybe even becoming a 8/10 in the future and the game is something I really enjoy but the issues weigh it down quite a bit. I must acknowledge all the stuff I really like here but i won't ignore these issues. It's free and with the size of the game I'm not sure I would recommend it to anyone who is already deeply invested in another battle royale but its a fun and mostly well designed mindless game at it's core.    … Expand

    O game esbarra muito na limitação imposta pelo joystick. A principal falha é o metodo de corrida, que pra mim sempre foi o problema da série Call of Duty, ter que apertar o L3 pra correr sempre é cansativo demais. Eu sempre curti COD, jogo desde o Call of Duty 3, sou tendencioso a falar do jogo, mas pra jogar online numa plataforma crossplay, realmente o joystick deixou a desejar.

    No dedicated servers, cheaters, and lack of map updates are struggling to keep the base component of Warzone alive. However, the new addition of Zombie Royale brought new life into the game. If Activision could remove Skill Based Matchmaking, and Infinity Ward fixes their spaghetti code, this could be a generational game.

    Gunplay - Warzone has the best gunplay of any CoD game i've played in the past. For the most part, no gun is over or under powered. While some guns may be more favored than other there are guns to fit every playstyle. I really enjoy Warzone's take on Battle royale, especially with the introduction of the gulag. The gulag is one of the best parts of the game. Nothing fills you with confidence than clutching it up in the gulag with 5 seconds left on the timer.

    Gamemodes - Of the gamemode I've played I enjoyed most of them. Plunder and Scopes and scatter guns are my favorite modes by far. Mini royale, one of the current modes in the game right now, is uninventive and was most likely spit out as an attempt to keep players interested. Don't want to fire to many shots as I do enjoy the game, but the mode wasn't very fun in my experience.

    Cosmetics - While I don't mind games having a lot of cosmetics, Warzone went overboard. Not to mention that many packs / bundles are pay-to-win or overpriced; usually both.

    Community - Despite other CoD games having a history of harboring a toxic playerbase Warzone's community is really nice and I've made a few friends playing the game.

    Technical issues - For what the game is it is VERY demanding when it comes to storage. Warzone also bosts a whole list of technical issues when it comes to downloading the game. The first few times I tried It would install for weeks without gaining any progress. It would also give me notifiactions daily saying that it was done installing, when it actually had 20+ hours remaining.

    Playability - Like a lot of games, you'll have the most fun in Warzone while playing with friends. If you're a loner, or just don't have friends who play the game, you will have a worse experience. It's very rare that I find myself playing the game alone.    … Expand

    Warzone has kept things fairly smart and simple with Call of Duty’s second delve into Battle Royale. It rests on gunplay instead of gimmicks which is without doubt CoD’s biggest attraction. Firefights can take alot of effort to survive which can be overcome with clever strategy. Although poor design choices hold it back.

    While Warzone might be releasing in a space crowded with other Battle Royales, this new entry into the genre shakes the formula up in brave new ways and provides one of the best multiplayer experiences in recent memory — it’s debatably the new gold standard for Battle Royale.

    Call of Duty: Warzone offers a very good gameplay, and a free-to-play experience that's closer to Apex Legends than Fortnite, but manages to keep that COD feels that much loved by gamers.
