    One of the most vivid games in my memory is the first Call of Duty, the campaign that made me simply happy to play and replay it over and over. This time around the campaign is amazing. I love it. Characters are great, the story is compelling and both audio and visuals are of the best quality I have ever seen in CoD. I can see myself playing it again and again alongside the first games. Props on this one. And man, I wish I could buy a singleplayer only for a third of a price because the rest of this game...

    Zombies have zombies. Enough said. I vomit with zombies. Movies, TV, games, zombies are everywhere. They are boring. They were boring years ago. Just stop making zombie games and movies already! They've been done to death... Pun intended.

    Multiplayer is weird. You have that new hub section where a bunch of people run around, open boxes with random **** and do nothing but look for a menu to see the multiplayer modes. It's confusing at first but it is a good idea... but seeing loot boxes being open, seeing other people getting some random junk made me realize that the point of this hub is to gloat about your loot. Nothing social or interesting takes place here, just consumerism at its finest! The gameplay itself is like CoD of old. No recoil, no strategy, no thinking. Maps are built with sniper nests and choke points from grounds up, so... every game looks exactly the same. It gets boring after a while and because of how weapons handle you feel like the game was programmed as your first shooter - when you're done go play something better (most games are better).

    To sum this up. Singleplayer campaign is an easy 9/10, multiplayer is for me 3/10 (7/10 for CoD players) and zombies is about -1000/10. It's a shame you can't buy just the singleplayer, I'd pay for that.    … Expand

    I bought it yesterday since it was back to the roots, but it went literally back to the roots. They forgot that we're in 2017 and not in 2007. This game is SO poor: graphics are nowhere as it should be on today's consoles, animations are the same as 10 years ago, explosives are poorly done and the indestructible and hidden borders of the environment is something retarded.

This game is SO poor: graphics are nowhere as it should be on today's consoles, animations are the same as 10 years ago, explosives are poorly done and the indestructible and hidden borders of the environment is something retarded.

    That's because of the old engine from the beginning of the franchise. They just 'modified' it but the basics remain the same. The download package is 70GB (!!!!), all of which is bloatware. We're not talking about ultra HD graphics are heavy renedering for next gen consoles.

    The gameplay in multiplayer is very arcade, very fast and it's like I'm playing against and with bots. They all move so jerky. Shooting mechanics are poorly done, it doesn't feel right, it's all too fast. After a MP round, it takes ages and ages before a new game starts and you have to stare five minutes at the scoreboard without any possiblity to go to another screen.

    What's great? The unlockables, the perks and kill cams are still great and something to play for. But the gaming experience is so so so poor and it's painful to see how the gaming press keep giving it high scores. Perhaps it's because of the Campaign Mode, which I'm not interested in.

    But the whole game experience and above all, the game mechanics are retarded and outdated. This is a game for PS3, not for current gen consoles. Once again, you should be ashamed Activision to support publishing a cheap rip off of this franchise. IW or Sledgehammer MUST create a new engine for this game.

So far for me it is purely twitch gameplay which means you can't play smart. For most of the COD multiplayers I'm a 2.0 KD player. I like to outsmart people, not just out reflex them. Sniping is a joke, no point when a AR can pick you off across map. Shotguns are way to powerful (probably will be nerfed). Overall the movement and aiming feel floaty, like AW. I'll keep playing for now but I'll probably be going back to MW remastered soon. Please Please make a Modern Warfare 2 remaster!

    This game is horrible. Literally the only redeeming quality is parts of the campaign but even then it is one of the shortest campaigns in CoD history and still does nothing compared to CoD4/MW2/WaW/BO1/BO2.

    The MP... good lord is it horrible... guns lack any authenticity and are completely reskins (Tommy gun is literally the ASM-1 of AW). Returning the moment I leave work.

Maybe COD should take a cue from Ubisoft and take a year or two break from COD and really take the time to craft a sick shooter, with an actually good campaign, and awesome multiplayer.

There hasn't been a decent COD game since Black Ops One, and even then, that's where the series started to change for the worst. Even the remake of Modern Warfare has left little to be desired. Twitch shooters are not fun, just mindless running around. I really wanted to give this game a chance, as they promised going back to the roots. Well, they went back to the roots of Call of Duty on the surface only, that being a themed game in World War Two. That's the only thing. It is still a stupid, mindless twitch shooter. My first hour in, I was four matches into playing just regular Team Death Match and my soldier score was 16/45 with a KDR of .36. I don't seem to have that trouble on games like Battlefront or Battlefield. I do like the layout of the maps, lots of choke points, but the fact remains that this is a twitch shooter. The gameplay gets very tiresome very quickly. The last Call of Duty game I "bought' brand new was with my Xbox One and that was Ghosts. Ghosts was a better attempt to fix the last couple of releases prior to it, but still fell short. I vowed never to buy a COD game again. Yet the promises and hope that Activision finally drilled into the developers heads that the players wanted a solid COD game again, has fallen very short. It's the same rinse and repeat re-skinned twitch shooter. So now that I have wasted my money, I can say that I am officially DONE with this franchise. I will never purchase another COD game new. I didn't even buy the remastered Modern Warfare new because I had a feeling it was going to be trash, I bought it cheap on ebay and I recommend anyone wanting to give this game a chance to wait a while and do the same, get the game cheap on ebay as a re-sell and the company doesn't get the profit. OH, and if you thought the microtransactions of the last game were bad...wait until you see COD WW2's. Micro transactions everywhere. This is a trash game, save your money and continue to have faith in DICE and the Battlefield series...they for the most part listen to their customers and deliver a mostly solid game.… Expand

The campaign is mediocre, the multiplayer is copy and paste from every year. It just isn't worth it. Cod is a dying franchise.

    Oh yeah, and they're adding JETPACKS IN WW2. That makes sense doesn't it???

The multiplayer seems to be different for those who are used to jetpacks yatta yatta. We are heading back to WW2 and it feels nice for a change. I topped the leadboard on my first match with flame shotgun bullets. It was satisfying for sure. Although there is something that I do not like about this game, and it is the fact that they tried so hard to make this a game that would be played for hours on end, with amazing detail and what not. Unfortunately this game is not amazing and lacks a lot of graphical improvements and the optimization is just crap. I played on a 144hz monitor 2460 or 2K screen, with a 1080 graphics card and it didn't look all that great. The multiplayer is ok at best, but moving over to zombies, is just downright cringe worthy. The zombies look amazing art wise and their voices uncomfortable feeling which is great, but it just isn't as scary as we had hoped for the series. It has jump scares, but that is it. This Call of Duty, is by far an improvement for sure in some areas, but overall just isn't a game that I am interested diving more into. It was unfortunate because this was one of my anticipated game of this year, and it did not deliver to the hopes I thought it would bring.… Expand

Basically the multiplayer is like taking a bunch of autistic children, giving them guns and crack, and throwing them into a tiny map. Hit detection is nothing short of horrific. Time after time I'd fire a shotgun point-blank into an enemy's chest only to have it not register at all and be killed. Most gunfights are based on some perverse sense of luck rather than any skill. The weapon damage has no basis in reality. HQ is a waste of time, and the micro-transactions are simply another insult to an already poor game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly, the campaign doesn't even touch on the idea of Russians, Japanese and/or the German point of view. Same old "americans were the only one with souls and feelings, germans were robots" clichè. They included a black person with another "you underestimated the blacks" clichè and totally dumped historical correctness for the sake of political. Same goes for the women characters which had no purpose to be women and could have easily be replaced by more appropriately for the historical time men.
    The game conveys no feeling, similar to how WAW conveyed feeling of horror just by the looks of the menu, the soundtrack and so on. I can associate any COD with some feeling, but I can't associate WWII to anything. In addition, I didn't notice any impressive soundtrack.

    Let's touch on the Mutiplayer. The moment I open the menu I see how terrible the UI is. In fact, I wonder if it could be worse than that. It's confusing, cluttered with stuff, backgrounds change, blur and have no relation to one another when you navigate. Navigation is horrible. It feels more challenging to open weapon customization than reach lvl 20 in zombies. I can't see scoreboard during a multiplayer match. I have to go through a few tabs, then one option down, then a popup for confirmation in order to leave the match. I can go on for hours about what's wrong with the UI.
    Maps are mostly terrible. 3-lane, boring, no diversity, nothing fun or special about them. Such a rushed design. I will leave it here regarding multiplayer.

    Zombies are lacking the horrific Treyarch feeling. There is unnecessary customization. Playing zombies is extremely easy. No soundtrack, no cool sound effects when you pick up a drop, it just doesn't make me want to replay it.

    Overall, the game is horrible, rent it, play the campaign and get rid of it.    … Expand

I quit the game only after playing it off and on for 4 months and i only collected maybe 15% of the stuff that I actually wanted.

    - the game, installed and played from disc with all the updates, was taking up 60gb on the my harddrive (for such a contentless game)

The game is amazing looking however and the graphics are top notch. The shading, the environments and lighting are all great. The sound of basically everything as well is great. The base game-play at its core is very well polished. The shooting feels perfect and movement is smooth. The campaign has some likable characters but the story is so generic and short making investment useless. Its well acted and sometimes actually well written but its so predictable and the everything feels so forced in so it can be condensed into a few hours. The game-play is standard corridor shooting and can get very old but the squad dynamic and having teammates supply you with health and ammo adds much needed depth. The vehicle sections feel under utilized and out of place. The game does switch it up sometimes and has some very cool moments but overall very average. The multiplayer however is a disaster. The maps are super small and force you into the same approach every time. They all feel very similar and generic. The weapons are good however and pretty diverse and feel good to use. Customization is lacking with certain divisions locking off certain things. Score streaks feel very unrewarding and useless and make the multiplayer feel very empty. The hub area has some cool things like playing old Activision games and one versus one duels. Mostly its a glorified loot box show room though. The cosmetic loot system is so lazy and broken that items are literally reused with different names. The cosmetics do not fit with the WWII setting and break any possible immersion. Zombies has some cool horror aspects and a cool atmosphere but the positives end there. The map is convoluted and annoying to navigate. Enemy variation is lacking and many things are made to complicated like the horrible perk system and power ups. Overall a very underwhelming experience.… Expand

    By the americans, for the americans. If I had to describe the game in one word, I would say "America". America lost around 350k soldiers during this war, but it's strange and I wonder why this game didn't tell me a single word about the URSS army that won this war, entered Berlin firstly and lost about 23.5 millions of people...

    What a huge waste of money. Should be called Connection Off Duty. Multiplayer is entirely dependent on who has the minutely better connection. Maps are TINY and 6v6 boring roflstomps. Does nothing great for the franchise except Zombies. Hope I can get 30 bucks for this **** on aftermarket.

Where does it leave the casually good to exceptional player? They don't care and now I don't care. Every game since the original black ops has had this with some varying degree. How many times have you played on a team with one of these games and wonder how the majority of everyone went negative? It's there. Group this up with an anemic number of maps and some of the series worst score streaks, you've got a really boring game. I don't feel compelled to play it - I often forget that I have it. I'm sure not "buying" anything on it. The sad thing is, they'll promote a redux of MW2 when they realize no one is playing or buying it, but they'll do it with the same awful netcode like they did with MWR.

    Overall, I liked the single player a lot, that is this game's saving grace. I actually feel as if this was one of the better campaigns of the past few years. The multiplayer feels as if they threw $20 into a usb drive and are now trying to run the entire multiplayer servers through that. It is appalling how poorly the servers have been since the launch nearly a month ago and I have seen no signs of it getting better. The zombies was alright, I think that the new zombies games need to tone it down a little, but that's just personal preference.

    With the quick-scoping, you can miss by 3 meters and still get an instant kill (if you aim and don't hit the head, you may not get a kill). This takes so much away from the multiplayer that just this issue requires me to award the multiplayer a complete failure. I know there are people that love this, but it is ridiculous.

    My other annoyance is all complete stupid little things you get for kills and how fast they come. I have had games that I quit because we were owning the other team so bad that it you couldn't play the shooter. I have joined games where the team I was on was getting so wasted that I couldn't even leave spawn - kept getting hit by all the perk crap, before I even took one step.

    Campaign: Remember when Call of Duty actually had good campaigns that could be considered a selling point? I'm talking about the Modern Warfare trilogy, World at War, Black Ops 1 and 2, etc. This campaign does not fall into this category. Daniels is a bad main character. The game spends a lot of time trying to make the player feel bad for him, but I simply don't know enough about him to feel any emotion towards him. There are some interesting new mechanics in the campaign, such as health that can only be replenished using medkits, and squad members being able to resupply, but the resupply mechanic needs work. The only reason I took stuff from them is because they would not shut up until I took it from them. I had to toss grenades randomly on purpose just so my squad member would stop screaming every five seconds that he had grenades ready. The opening level is very good, you get a good sense of the danger soldiers faced and how grim the battlefield is. Every level after this is nothing like level 1 and they just get boring after a while. I think this game could have benefited from a branching stories campaign like World at War, because fighting Germans exclusively gets old, especially knowing that WWII wasn't only fought between the U.S and Germany. Overall, the campaign is a waste of time.

    Multiplayer: Awful. The game only came with 9 maps, which should be considered unacceptable. Headquarters is a waste of space. Call of Duty doesn't need a social hub and it only caused the game to crash or simply not work for about a month after release. The weapons are unbalanced. There is auto aim on the snipers and SMGs and shotguns are definitely overpowered compared to the assault rifles and LMGs. War mode is a joke. Given the run and gun style of COD multiplayer and the fast death times, how did they think an objective heavy mode like this would work? But the worst part is I'm writing this review more than a month after release and the game is still broken. Crashing is still a big issue, the supply drops you supposedly earn during games never appear in your inventory, and hit detection is still awful, and Sledgehammer has the nerve to push their first DLC pack while the game is still broken and they do nothing about it. A very bad experience.

    Zombies: I don't have much to say about this, but it's not very good. I'm a big fan of Treyarch zombies, so I had high hopes, but it didn't deliver. The characters are boring and the map is one big boring circle. It's also too easy. The game's equivalent to Juggernog on steroids is available right from the start for a measly 500 jolts, This mode is nothing special.

    This game alone has made me skeptical about buying future COD titles, but it has ensured that I'll never buy another product with Sledgehammer's name attached to it ever again.    … Expand

    Let's preface this with the fact that the last Call of Duty game I picked up and played quite a bit of was Modern Warfare 3. After that game I lost interest in the series as I began to hate the direction the series was starting to go to. I didn't pick up or play any of the jetpack games, Ghosts through Infinite Warfare, as it finally looked like Call of Duty lost its way, and what theLet's preface this with the fact that the last Call of Duty game I picked up and played quite a bit of was Modern Warfare 3. After that game I lost interest in the series as I began to hate the direction the series was starting to go to. I didn't pick up or play any of the jetpack games, Ghosts through Infinite Warfare, as it finally looked like Call of Duty lost its way, and what the series was initially about.

    When WWII was announced I was a little excited that they were going back to boots on the ground, going back to WWII, and going back to the series roots. Though I was skeptical, and became a little disappointed in some of the features they were implementing, or blatantly ripping off from other games, I still decided to pick the game up on launch day to play it, and hopefully get that same feeling I had when I played CoD 2, 3 and WaW. Sadly, this game is probably one of the worst, if not the worst Call of Duty game I have played.

    To break it down:

    Weapons -
    Dont even bother using any of the other guns unless its the STG 44 or BAR, as silent SMGs dominate in this game. They are great in CQC, and can outgun nearly any sniper rifle, LMG, or typical
    semi auto rifles at medium and long range. STG and BAR have nearly 0 recoil, and again can out shoot any of the other weapons at medium to long range. Don't bother with the shotguns unless you run with the incendiary rounds loaded as even nearly point blank, shotguns are a 2 hit kill.

    Maps -
    These are probably the worst maps in Call of Duty history. Every map is a chokepoint meat grinder. It's you're typical 3 lane map, but there's no tactics involved. They become a meat grinder as they are poorly designed. Maps are filled with clutter, no flanking routes, terrible spawns, and they are easy to spawn camp on. Unless you like to die over and over and over due to campers camping your spawn, you'll probably not enjoy these maps.

    Matchmaking-
    The matchmaking in the game is equally as terrible as anything else. You'll constantly be put on teams filled with the worst players in the game, as the enemy team is stacked with above average and good players, which just results in a steam roll for the enemy team.

    Gameplay-
    This game is filled with players hopping around like Master Chief, and dropping down onto their bellies to drop shot you. Due to all the clutter on the maps, you'll get everyone headglitching behind an object.

    Zombies-
    Zombies in WaW was fun. It was addicting. Zombies in WWII is utterly boring. Played 1 online round of Zombies, got to level 30+ and everytime I died or go downed, I was praying the game would be over. I was that bored of it. I was bored of the game by level 15. It was just too easy to advance. I never felt threatened by the zombies at all. It was just boring.

    This game is just utter crap. It is probably the worst Call of Duty that I have played. I was hoping that when they said they were going back to boots on the ground, they were going back to Call of Duty 2, one of, if not the best game in the franchise, but with modern tech. Nope. This game feels like it was made in 2006. Unbalanced weapons, matches, poorly designed maps, which look like one of the developers toddlers designed them, horrible lag, and matchmaking, and ultimately just a poorly developed game. The fact that this game took 3 years to make is astonishing as it looks like they did everything in 6 months. Wait, Call of Duty 3 was developed in 8 months, and was a better developed game than WWII. There was no sense of accomplishment when you do well, no satisfaction when you kill an enemy who was besting you the whole match, no sense of pride as you rank up yourself, your division or your weapon. I was extremely disappointed with the game, and I didn't have a lot of expectations coming into it. If you want to play a good WWII game, play any of the older Call of Duty games. Play Medal of Honor Frontlines/Rising Sun/Airbourne/Allied Assault, they will all give you a better experience in a WWII setting, and online, and be a whole lot more fun than this game.

    The only thing that is redeemable in WWII is the new War mode. That is the only redeeming factor in the game. Even then, there's only 3 maps, which get old fast. If you want to waste $60 on this game, I won't stop you, but I will warn you I wouldn't spend $20 on it.    … Expand

    Before I list the pros and cons I want to say that this review is not based on me being bitter or being a "hater" or any of that crap. I got my kill/death ratio to around 2.6 so I'm a lot better than the average player. This is an honest review.

    Pros: ▪Not a bad campaign but not great either. ▪Graphics are good in the campaign and average in multi-player. ▪Footsteps are easily    Before I list the pros and cons I want to say that this review is not based on me being bitter or being a "hater" or any of that crap. I got my kill/death ratio to around 2.6 so I'm a lot better than the average player. This is an honest review.

    Pros:

    ▪Not a bad campaign but not great either.
    ▪Graphics are good in the campaign and average in multi-player.
    ▪Footsteps are easily heard unlike MW Remastered.
    ▪ I personally like the new HQ instead of just sitting looking at a lobby screen. Pretty cool how you can look around and interact with different things.

    Cons:
    ▪Team balancing is horrendously poor. I played around 100 games and was on the team full of clueless morons about 75% of the time. A lot of games were not close at all, too one-sided.
    ▪The game lags quite often and has caused me multiple deaths (Not my connection as every other multi-player game is fine).
    ▪There is something massively wrong in multi-player. In many 1 v 1 gunfights where on my screen we (Me and an opponent) see eachother at the same time and I shoot first, get about 10 bullets into my opponent and he picks his **** gun up whilst being shot and drops me in 2 bullets. I watch the killcam and somehow he was already shooting me before I even lifted my gun up?? He had taken no damage either WTF??! Absolute joke.
    ▪Loot crates should not be in any game ever unless the game was free maybe. People already paid £50+ for the game and these greedy developers aren't satisfied and want more money for doing nothing basically.
    ▪Perk system/Division is just stupid in my opinion as it restricts you. If you don't want to show up on the enemy UAV then you have to use the Mountain division. You may also want to resupply from dead enemies.. Nope! Sorry, you can't have both as resupplying is in another division. So dumb. Should have just had normal perks as usual.
    ▪The maps are absolute garbage except 3. The other 6 are just painful to play. The inept developers had very little imagination when designing them. Only 9 **** maps in the base game is absolutely pathetic as well. The war game mode has its own 2-3 unique maps but that gamemode is pretty poor anyway.
    ▪They are copying off Battlefield with the Bayonet charge, War mode etc.
    ▪Gameplay is too fast paced.. everyone runs around like they are **** Olympic athletes on steroids. Why can't the game just be a bit slower paced??
    ▪Guns have basically no recoil making it very easy for terrible scrubs to shoot you from 40 yards with an SMG, laughable.
    ▪No-scoping and quick-scoping is too easy. Something else that caters to the 10 year olds who think they are pros, Jesus Christ.
    ▪You die a bit too quickly. Well.. I do at least. On my screen I am killed instantly but when I shoot enemies it sometimes takes 15 bullets and that's without missing.
    ▪The community is absolutely cancerous. Sitting in windows or behind objects head-glitching, sitting in corners, drop-shotting etc etc. This is not the developers fault obviously but it is another reason not to buy this trash.

    I could be on all day with the cons so I will just end it there. I give it a 2/10. Just absolutely terrible. The amount of **** which happens in multi-player is just mind-boggling. I almost smashed my controller on 10 seperate occasions. It's depressing thinking how great CoD used to be. WaW, BO1 were just brilliant. This **** doesn't come close to either. This is 100% the last CoD I ever, ever purchase. Deleted the game. Good **** riddance.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thought this was going to be a great game, I was wrong! REALLY WRONG.
    The campaign was ok, not great but just ok. The ending was disappointing and the story itself actually sucked.
    Multiplayer: WORST multiplayer ever! Nothing worst than having opposing players shooting through walls to kill you. Wooden walls sure, but when you run around a corner of a brick wall and you die, come on COD, I'm sure your developers can do a better job than this.
    If you're looking for a WW1 or 2 style of game just go and buy Battlefield 1, I am not a fan of the Battlefield series but it blows this COD away.
    Bought this game less than a week ago and will be trading it in for something else today.
    COD WW2 is nothing but an attempt to copy other games but instead of making a step forward they took two steps back!!! Not sure if they hired new developers but this game is awful. Poor gameplay, poor graphics, crappy maps and whats with the headquarters? HQ is stupid.
    DO NOT waste your money on this game, not sure why some people think its a great game, they all must be high on drugs?!?!?!
    COD needs to get back to basics and come out with a game that reflects today's world struggles such as Afghanistan, Iraq, ISIS, etc.....Modern warfare was a great game.
    Sorry for the bad review but this game is a waste of money!    … Expand

    This game is not a true return to the glory days of Call of Duty like everyone said it would be. Setting it during WW2 didn't really do much since it feels exactly like the last few CoD games.

    There is a Destiny style social space that makes no sense. There's no benefit to having this feature apart from showing off to everyone what you get from loot boxes. This allows Activision to bank on other players jealousy and sell even more loot boxes.

    The historical inaccuracies are really insulting too. Red dot sights and hollow sights did not exist during WW2, soldiers weren't allowed to wear colorful uniforms yet this game allows you to buy weird skins that do fit warfare or even the time period, AND WHY ARE THERE BLACK NAZIS? This is insulting to black people. Nazis were openly racist and I wouldn't want to dress up as someone who committed major atrocities against my race.

    Swastikas are censored BTW. And you can play as female soldiers just as easily as male ones. SJWs have hit the gaming industry really hard.

    Not gonna talk about zombies cause I'm tired of shooting zombies. ENOUGH ZOMBIES.

    Campaign has a very good story and characters are interesting, but its too short. 6 hours is too little and this game was clearly developed multiplayer first with single-player as an afterthought. I won't be surprised when the day comes that CoD ships without a single player campaign.

    They also added a "public" area for interactions with other players. The game servers run so poorly though that you can't even connect to random online players. If the game did run correctly, the game would make you go into these public area to open your loot boxes in front of everyone. They do this in hopes of sparking other players to buy loot boxes if yours contains a good weapon skin or other useless items.

    The 6 hour long campaign and one zombie map doesn't justify the full $60 price tag. I hope you don't repeat my mistake of buying this game.    … Expand

To begin it didn’t work for a few days, just stuck at a loading screen, then when it did work my ping was so bad, I had no chance – this is despite being on a 250mbps connection. The maps are too small, and it just loads the same ones over and over again. The whole lobby thing I don’t get either – Just need a menu, and find match… Such a shame, I was overly looking forward to this game, and personally for me, they missed the target. But credit where credit is due, at least they have changed direction from the awful double jumping futuristic rubbish that the last few instalments followed.… Expand

    A pesar de sus puntos positivos anteriormente descritos, lo que mas choca en este juego es el hecho de que se hayan implementado todas las políticas mas nefastas que existen actualmente en el mundo de los videojuegos, aprovechandose así de su inmensa base de usuarios fieles a la saga.
    Entre estas políticas nefastas puedo mencionar que el juego viene recortado de lanzamiento (Prueba de esto es el DLC ya anunciado para enero de 2018), las lootboxes que están tan de moda en casi todos los videojuegos pero en este juego son implementadas de una forma mas descarada ya que tú puedes ver como los otros jugadores reciben sus premios tras comprar una cajita de estas, esto va acorde al matchmaking que relacione jugadores que no han gastado dinero extra en el videojuego con personas que gastan un montón y por lo tanto consiguen mejores armas en tu cara, lo cual provoca un online totalmente desbalanceado, por no decir que roto.

Wow, I don't know what game the "real" reviewers are playing, but I'm glad that a site like this allows for players opinions, because for the most part, the players are right. MULTI-PLAYER REVIEW ONLY: I also want to get it off my chest that shame on the developers for trying to erase history by censoring the swastika, the biggest Nazi symbol there is. Everybody knows what it is and what it represents but it's still a part of history and if you are going to make a WWII game, regardless, you should probably leave it in.

    This game feels like a mistake. My bet is that Sledgehammer was going to make Advanced Warfare 2, and after Battlefield One's success and the fans hatred for COD in space, decided to scrap the work they had done on AW2 and rushed through this mess of a game. That's the best I can sum this up, as a rushed mess. I will disclose that I am a very big fan of Advanced Warfare, to date it's my favorite COD, I'm also a huge fan of Battlefield One, so grounded action is perfectly fine. This game cannot hold a candle to BF1, it's like comparing a Chevy to a Ferrari. HINT: Call of Duty is the Chevy.

    Graphically, this game is definitely a step back, both myself and my wife commented on how much worse it looks, almost like a PS3 game. From the character models to the boring and generic maps, oh and small maps. But as any seasoned gamer knows, graphics aren't everything, so let's move on.

    Sound: I typically give games of today a pass given the quality that exists with audio. gunfire is gunfire, bomb blast is bomb blast, nothing special, nothing spectacular. The sounds of burning humans is pretty comical though. The issue though is if you actually compare this game to Battlefield One, you can see the significant difference between the two companies and games, if you've never played BF1, then the audio is fine.

    Game play: Well, it's not terrible, it's back to basics, but it's still just mindless run and gun. I read one "professional" review that stated it brought strategy back to the series, what?? No there is no strategy, it's just mindless run and gun, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Everything so far feels responsive, and though server matchmaking is an issue, when in game, it seems everything works fine. My biggest problem with COD, which has just gotten worse with WWII, is the quick scope sniping bull****. How do I know it's worse, let me tell you how, and you don't even need to watch the kill cams to see people completely missing people and getting kills. My wife, is terrible at video games, but she loves them, and tries to play them. One thing she could not do on any game, either COD or BF1, is snipe. Well, guess what, the sniper rifle is her favorite gun in WWII because of the lack of needing to be accurate. I've watched her, and I've watched the kill cam, it seems there is a hit box around the player, so that as long as your bullet lands within the box, it registers a hit. This is total garbage, and when the really good players figure this out, which they have, it makes some matches completely unplayable, the cannon map. There's no skill, you don't need to time shots, you just scope and pull trigger at the same time, dead. The game modes themselves look like all the same stuff, with the exception of War, but I can't comment on that because I haven't played that yet. There's not that many weapons and getting exotic weapons seems pointless because unless I'm missing something, they do not do anything to increase the stats of the actual weapon, just add like 10x exp or some Zombie kill perk thing. The class system is fine, no complaint there, just be careful when changing weapons, do not change weapon classes under a class, change the entire class. For example, if you have the shot gun class but want to use a machine gun, don't change the shotgun to a machine gun, you lose your incendiary rounds per, instead make a infantry load out.

    Overall: I like it better than Black Ops III, which was returned to the store the next day, at least this one hasn't been returned. It's not nearly as fun as Advanced Warfare. If you want a really good shooter, pass this one up and get Battlefield 1. EA has to be laughing all the way to the bank, every time Activision releases a new COD game, it just makes their game look all the much better.

    UPDATE: It's been returned to the store.    … Expand

    The multiplayer is wildly inconsistent. Under the exact same circumstances one game it will take 3 bullets to kill a full health player and 6 the next game. The hit boxes for sniper rifles extend in a 3 foot radius around player making sniper rifles win every single time in close quarters with the auto aim snapping. It's broken and it's annoying as hell.

The campaign clocks in at around 6.5 hours. So don't even consider it if you're strictly a single player fan. The multiplayer is more of the same with a fresh (kind of) coat of paint. Same old bullet sponge casual mechanics, Same old glitches throughout that likely won't ever get addressed, but perhaps worst of all - completely unbalanced maps. I was a little surprised at this because map design for the most part has been fairly consistent in Call of Duty, but alas, never count the franchise out for brand new disappointments.

    Some of the maps are just glaringly uneven. Objective based maps where one team is constantly fighting uphill in the open puts that team at a considerable disadvantage and makes for a 100% consistent rate of losses on those maps in my experience. Even with a party of 6 good players we found ourselves losing on those specific maps in those specific game modes.

    The zombies are darker, realer, creepier. Much better than the corny ones of the past.

There are a few new things added, which are welcome additions. The new social hub , headquarters, is just like destinys “tower”,...which is a welcome addition to me. I like that they added the shooting range. War is an attempt at adding something new and fresh, but honestly I’d rather go play some Battlefield 1 for that fix. Battlefields pvp is in a league of its own, compared to this. I had a match last night where I was watching a replay of a final kill cam that showed some nonsensical quick scoping for kills that weren’t even CLOSE to being a hit. I tried to upload the capture to YouTube from my PS4 , but it keeps giving me errors and not letting me upload it. Good for Activision that I can’t get this footage out. They’d be embarrassed , lol.

Russian guns in the Normandy, in under three minutes is Omaha Beach taken (it took about half an hour until they arrived at the bunkers in reality, even Medal Of Honor did this right 15 Years ago). That was the first Mission. Okay, it was okay, I didn't expect much but it got worse. The driving parts are so fast, its like playing Need For Speed. And then the tankdriving... Horrible, especialy when my little Sherman with his short 75mm gun takes out multiple Panzer 4s and a freaking Kingtiger... What a laugh! Over alll it was a really nice showcase of how freaking great the americans where and that they won the war ALONE. Well, no... for me it's just bitter how they try to tell this story. I am german and yes, my great grandfathers fought in this terrible war. I know a lot about it. The Story forgot the Brits and Canadians, even on the overview Map there where no signs of them, STUPID. The resistance part of the game was a bit new and gave a new perspective but here was also nearly everything wrong. First i thought the Voiceacting was cool, all Germans speak perfekt german and the conversations made sense but then there was this one offizier that name i forgot... He spokes very bad german with a stupid acsent... and the game lost me once again. So the unrealistic story went on and I played through.... but then there was the part i was most disappointed: The scene at the end with the KZ... Just some random buildings, two hanging copses, some corpses on the ground... nothing really shocking nd tht is the problem. If yo visit a real memorial site of a KZ and you read all the history and look at the pictures you can't sleep for days, thats how horrific it really is and this game needet to tell this story better, more shocking. But no, it looks like a random prison with some people who might have died. Seriously? The developers didn't take the time for research, everything is wrong about it. The Bunkers, the Tanks, the Soldiers, the Weapons... I've been even to france, I know how it should look like.
    But CoD isn't really about the campaign, right? So what about the Multiplayer. Well... It's standart, the Wa Mode is fun but nothing really new. I wish i could wright more about it, but the last three days where just a pain in the you know where. Server problems, buggy HQ, Lootboxes disappering. Nothing really works and thats all AFTER closed and open Beta. so no... nothing to be proud of right now.
    But there's a Zombiemode. And yes, it's fun, but not for so long. pretty standart, too.
    Overall this game is screwed and no recomandation at all!

Played saturday with my friend very sporadically because we were both continually being kicked form servers. Zombies was awesome, feels just like the best of the the old zombies. What I played of campaign was decent.    I am not recommending this game to my friends.

Played saturday with my friend very sporadically because we were both continually being kicked form servers. Zombies was awesome, feels just like the best of the the old zombies. What I played of campaign was decent. Multiplayer tho...it sucks. War is great. The rest tho, is just like other reviewers say, very empty. Absolutely terrible spawns...how many times did I spawn in to immediately (seriously seconds later) be killed by the same exact person! OMG!

    Its just so spastic of a game, all reflexes, no thinking. Quick-scoping!? really? Why keep that in these games!? I watched one play of the game where a sniper quick-scoped two people from 12 feet away! So stupid. Campers absolutely galore! Campers and quickscopers will love this game.

    It is a much better installment of COD, BUT everything that ever annoyed me about old COD games is still present. And the servers are absolute garbage so good luck not getting errored out. I would think game companies would be better prepared for releasing games than this...why run a beta if you cant even properly release a working game? Cant they figure out how stressed their servers will be by how many freaking preorders they had?!?! obviously not...very disappointed. Theres a good chance this is the last COD I will play.

    I really wanted to like this game. I will play it some more. But today was Sunday, I woke up did some chores and played games most of the day, but did not once feel inclined to play COD WW2. 2 days after having it and I already was losing interest. That sums it up for me. I would love my 60 bucks back.    … Expand

    "Call of duty is back to it's roots"
    Um no. It's definitely not. This game is full of tiny ass maps where the ADHD children can continue to run to spawns and feel like their tiny dicks are bigger. No one in their right mind would give this game over a 5. It's got a decent campaign and zombie mode but the MP is complete and utter trash STILL.

    I preordered the digital deluxe edition, something like 150$ CAD , the game is TRASH. Right on release , all servers went down for more than 3 hours and there you go all the ppl who preordered got screwed.
    The first thing I noticed was how HEAVILY supply drops are advertised in this game, that whole headwaters thing or whatever is the most shady thing Ive ever seen in a game. You're    I preordered the digital deluxe edition, something like 150$ CAD , the game is TRASH. Right on release , all servers went down for more than 3 hours and there you go all the ppl who preordered got screwed.
    The first thing I noticed was how HEAVILY supply drops are advertised in this game, that whole headwaters thing or whatever is the most shady thing Ive ever seen in a game. You're basically encouraging little kids to watch other people open their supply drops and get all those cool guns, encouraging those kids to ask mommy and daddy for money so that they can get them. On top of that you have the supply drop matchmaking which puts bad players against good players who have Supply drop weapons, on purpose, in order to further advertise them. If you're a parent DO NOT BUY THIS GAME FOR YOUR KIDS
    The game takes a ridiculously long time to load , the graphics look horrible. The hit detection and lag and insanely bad too. And last but not least , speaking of insanely bad , the MAPS are the worst maps ive ever seen in call of duty. Not only is it super hard to see people in the first place, but the maps themselves have so many openings, so much stuff everywhere. It doesn't matter how you play , you can get shot from behind. I can barely hear footsteps too. There is no way to tweak the graphics to make it easier to see ppl either ,everyone is headglitching and spawn camping in what seems to be an endless labyrinth of bs. The menu is awful, I want the old create a class point system. How does a 5KD player in all other boots on the ground cods struggle to get a 1KD in this game ? How does my 50mbps up and 50 mbps down drop to 2 bars every time I meet an enemy ?
    Every cod game seems to be getting worse and worse ever since Ghosts and every time they are trying harder and harder to push supply drops . Its like its not even about the game anymore, its about, what kind of shady bs we can do to sell more supply drops.
    You know what Im not even mad. Thank you for the refund PlayStation ! This is the 3rd CoD game I return following Ghosts , Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare.
    I swear on my mothers grave I will never buy another CoD game every again ! Not only that, I genuinely feel relieved and dont feel like id miss anything.
    Let's conclude this with the fact that supply drops should be made illegal, this is literally gambling, and Im not really concerned about me, as I haven't spent a dime on that scam, I'm more concerned about the younger audience. Manipulation of young innocent children to such high extent with what should be ILLEGAL gambling like I said should be made illegal.
    Every single game that has supply drops in it SUCKS, as they are nothing more than a corrupted scheme to steal people's money and CoD WW2 is the perfect example of what happens when you try to push this ever harder.
    Good luck dealing with legal trouble in the future Activation , it won't be long till you start getting lawsuits and all those money which you manipulated people and pretty much near stole it from them is going to be taken away from you.    … Expand

I remember BF4 had some serious multiplayer issues on launch, so hopefully they fix this game so it's not a complete waste of $60.    … Expand

    I will not stand for a 'return to form' which is simply a re-skin of the same Call of Duty game we've had for years, relying solely on the outdated technical aspects from prior and the resulting lack of impact or originality.

The game takes place in World War II just as many people have been wishing for, however from the moment of the game's reveal it was completely apparent that Activision were trying to capitalise on Battlefield 1's success in a desperate attempt to remain prominent within the genre.

    The game is entirely lifeless and the setting feels one layer deep, as opposed to the historically accurate 'realism' of war that made the earlier Call of Duty games such a hit. If I can use any gun in any fight, regardless of historical accuracy, I might as well call in a giant Loot box to crush the opponent, that's how immersion shattering it is.

    Speaking of Giant Loot boxes....Call of Duty: WWII is absolutely atrocious in it's dependence on Loot boxes to generate excessive wealth for Activision, and to exploit the consumer. Any game that dares to reward me for watching other people gamble in an attempt to convince me to do so as well will not be tolerated at all.

    To Conclude:
    Call of Duty: WWII is a half-hearted attempt to cash in on the success of its rivals and restore the dwindling fanbase of the series that lacks meaningful characterization or weight both in its writing and technical aspects. The game compromises the legitimacy of its historical emulation for the sake of Loot Boxes and it shows a terrible lack of confidence or respect for both the series itself and the dedicated fans who've supported the series for years.    … Expand

    This is not a game for e-sport games. S & D mode, too much noise on the map. The maps are too small and too fast. Class of "mountains" in quiet walking destroys game. E-sport in this game does not exist.

    I really wanted CoD’s return to World War II to be something more than a solid game – but it’s not. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I’ve already seen all this, that the developers (or perhaps the publisher) chose to create something as safe as possible. There’s just one campaign mission that surprised me with its scale, the rest is just a disappointing “best of Call of Duty”. The multiplayer is as good as usual, but it was infused with unnecessary systems resembling mobile titles, e.g spending in-game currency on pointless tasks of the “kill 100 enemies” variety. Missions that make you watch other players open their loot boxes are the pinnacle of absurdity. [13/2017, p.64]

    A solid return to its roots, Call of Duty WWII reminds us what made us all fall in love Call of Duty in the first place. It ticks all the boxes which is both a blessing and a curse. Good fun and worth your time but offers nothing exceptional.
