    Treyarch ruined Warzone with season one (actually season 7). Boycott Warzone until Activision fixes the major changes that ruined the game.

    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 it is just a another battle royale and it has crippling flaws.

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

    The footsteps are not audible enough. It forces you to have a very high volume which leads to getting your ears really hurt from gunshots, explosions and vehicles engines.

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

I will say something good in its favor and that is that of graphics, map and environments and as a game mode it is the best that this company has done in many years. Needless to say, I will not invite a single penny to support a game model that is not fun, but frustrates and creates hatred. Of course, my purchase of Cold War is totally canceled since it follows the same steps as Modern Warfare. Whoever wants to support this garbage is in all their rights and I will not be one of them.… Expand

    The first COD ive played and love it. I used to only play Fifa until it became totally **** and couldn’t find a new game to play then this came up and it’s my favourite game by far now. Deleted fifa and downloaded multiple COD’s and not been disappointed yet.

    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.

Literally every fice seconds some type of unneeded guitar rift or synthesizer blast will overtake all of the necessary sounds intentionally to make it impossible to hear anything. Visual aspects are poorly executed, having only 30fps on a 1080p resolution...seriously? Not to mention all of the visual noise while standing completely still, makes it impossible to scan for enemy movement, constantly ADSing on a random bird or leaf in the periphery. Outlines of building have lines that move up and down, literally making it physically difficult to focus on one thing at a time. It's ultimately sensory overload, will make you feel exhausted and unsatisfied after every game. Has all the potential of being a good game but the developers has chosen to execute it in such a way that makes it impossible to enjoy playing. Epic failure is IMO. Try harder infinity ward!… Expand

    It crashes without any error message more often than it can complete a full match.
    I haven't had this many crashes since... no, never had any game or software crash this much.
    Not only does it crash, but you can't rejoin the game.
    It's free to play but I still feel cheated.

    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.
