    Best COD in a long time when it released. Multiplayer is great and story mode too. Great soundtrack, sound design and amazing graphics.

    Multigiocatore brutto e squilibrato, pieno di infognati che la vita sociale manco la conoscono. I fucili di precisione hanno praticamente l’automira, mentre per le altre armi i colpi non entrano. Spero che la smettano di pubblicare sti obbrobri

    Fantastic looking and sounding. As far as gameplay goes, your guns apparently shoot confetti and not bullets. I sniped the AI during the campaign, in the neck, twice, and they simply shrugged it off. Takes nearly 12-14 bullets from a Thompson to down an enemy, and this is on recruit difficulty.

    Got this game from my PS+ subscription and still feel cheated/scammed. They story was so boring by the third mission, I had just removed it from my console. The game was a cash grab more than a return to the roots claim they made.

    This game could have been amazing but the set pieces and the constant taking control away leave you with a kind of nothing and boring feeling, har unskippable cutscenes which just takes the replay value ride out of it,

    I hadn't picked up a Call of Duty game since Black Ops 2 back on the Xbox 360, I thoroughly enjoyed each instalment until BO2 at which point I felt something went horribly wrong but couldn't put my finger on it at the time.
    Roll on several years and I picked up WWII for PS4, to start with I thought yes the controls are tight the action reasonably well paced I thought 'this might be pretty solid'.. I was wrong.
    1st the quick time events (QTE) are horrible maybe it's me but reading the prompts wasn't obvious initially, and these QTE start getting over used real quick.
    2nd If anything makes me scream obscenities at a game it's headshotting an enemy (not a boss a normal grunt) and them getting up as if nothing more inconvenient than a tenis ball had bopped them on the nose and if you shoot a German in his velar weave mithril silver trench coat expect to empty several rounds to inconvenience him, what the hell man!? it isn't 1996 anymore! games moved past this kind of cheap bullet sponging decades ago.
    3rd British SOE agents, there is SOO much wrong with this anyone with half a brain or any level of understanding of the SOE is forced to cringe and I'm not talking about the now obligatory female agent (they existed maybe not in the capacity shown but I can live with that) what made me cringe was as soon as SOE were mentioned I thought ok when do they roll out the cockney weasels.. TADA as if by magic.
    By the time I derailed an heavily armoured train WITH A JEEP!!! ffs I had had enough, I couldn't suspend my disbelief any further this campaign was badly written poorly implemented garbage.
    I'm glad I didn't pay full price for this game I would have felt violated.
    I'm yet to try the multiplayer, for all I enjoy MP COD, the campaign is primarily why I used to buy these titles.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Aunque no soy la mayor fan de los juegos en primera persona, las campañas en sí me han parecido entretenidas técnicamente. Sin más, pero ok. Al menos he podido afinar más mi puntería de sniper.

    Narrativamente, en cambio... ¡Ay, amiga! Decir que narrativamente es flojo se queda corto por mucho. Tenía unas expectativas inmensas en este juego: como fan de la IIGM, esperaba poder explorar la guerra hasta sus extremos. Cuando de repente me han salido los créditos (que, mind you, duran más que el juego en sí), me he puesto lívida. ¿Dónde está la captura de Berlín? ¿Y el frente ruso? ¿Y el enfrentamiento con Japón? **** ¿qué clase de visión parcial guarripei de un conflicto tan inmenso me he comido? *himno americano sueña de fondo* *bostezos en la sala* *se oye a alguien vomitando en los baños fuera*

    Eso por no hablar de la historia de Daniels, que, por tradicional y redundante, me aburría cada vez que se hacía referencia a ella... Ya que te pones a hacer un juego de esto, hazlo bien. ¡Dame personajes que me importen, carajo! En dos días me voy a haber olvidado de estos cinco como si nunca hubiera jugado. ¡Menos zombies nazis y más profundidad!

    This game was alright. However, it does not come even close to topping the most classic Call of Duty games such as the Modern Warfare series and the Black Ops series. The game's biggest letdown is that it didn't bring anything new to the table aside from the setting. Sure it got better as time flew by but WWII is not bad or good enough to keep you grinding for hours.

    normal garbage, nothing new, get ready for random aimbot during the campaign and a lot of frustration. the enemies manage to hit you through the smoke grenade and depending on it is hitkill. CGI is good but during the game the graphics is all locked and grotesque, melee attacks don't work well and when you try to do some heroic act the enemies keep hitting you with aimbot.

    This is just about the campaign..

    What I hate most about the campaign is how often it takes control away from you and puts you in these really clunky and stupid situations like QTE's. Why can't this just be a cutscene if it must be here? I just want to fight in the war, this stuff is so annoying. The only times I felt immersed were when it was pure combat. Pop out of cover, shoot,

    The only times I felt immersed were when it was pure combat. Pop out of cover, shoot, reload, dodge explosion, change cover. That's a fun gameplay loop. They try to stray from that so often, like they're afraid of it. It's so frustrating to get glimpses of what this game could be only for them to be interrupted with "GRAB THAT PANZERSHREK". If you don't do what they want you to, the AI willl scream it out over and over and over.

    The audo is also super messed up. Only 1 setting that controls all the audio. It's mixed terribly and you'll rarely even be able to hear dialogue. The bass overpowers everything else, completely drowns it all out.

    Some of the missions are so poorly designed. They spend so long on the scenery then lazily dump re-spawning AI all over. Very little care was put into making this game fun to play.

    The game ends in an extremely underwhelming way that is very obviously not what was originally intended. It feels very unfinished and this being the game that it is from the developers and publisher that it is from... It will never be finished.
    As that is the way of modern game design for AAA companies.
    Overall.. whatever. This game won't be remembered for any special reason. Extremely lazy and forgettable.

    Mediocre game which is nothing like the old and good entries of the saga.

    - Campaign is short, cliched and disapointing, with few interesting missions. - Multiplayer is boring and destroyed by the good old microtransactions, loot boxes, and in game store. To make it all better, now you can open your lootbox at the Omaha beach, which is kinda depressing. - Zombies is the most decent

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...

    COD mechanics are still good but there are two major problems in this game:
    1 - The campaign is not that fun. It would be nice to have the Eastern front, for example, like in COD World at War.
    2 - We play always in the same maps in multiplayer. If we want more maps, it costs a fortune (something like 50 bucks). It's not acceptable.

    - Very hard QTE where you fight a nazi, that reloads very slowly - Dumb AI that likes blocking your line of sight on the enemy only to engage one further away
    - Aim that jumps up every time you get hit - A mount machine gun that doesn’t scare enemies in the slightest, it’s

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

    It is approaching a year since this game was released and it is less functional than when it was released.

The functionality of this game at a fundamental level is so broken that I have utterly given up on the franchise as a whole. It fails to connect to online services more than it succeeds. This franchise has taken up thousands of my life ever since I discovered World At War all those years ago but ladies and gentlemen I come to you today a broken man. Words cannot describe how much of an insult to our community this is. This is a game that IF you manage to connect will shove microtransactions and supply drops down your throat at every screen and opportunity its absurd. Once you clear away that trash and try to find a game there's a solid chance you'll be disconnected before it even starts. If it starts and you maintain a ping less than 100 then congrats you'll get to enjoy the most inconsistent gameplay I have ever experienced in an online game. The pacing in a humble game of TDM can change so fast. In one moment it'll be balls to the wall and then absolute silence for the rest of the game. The maps are simplistic, uninspired and boring to look at. In each DLC pack you pay for all you will get is a few new maps that are just as **** as the vanilla ones. Zombies has been turned into an overly complicated mess which is just completely against the ethos of zombies. The Colour palate is bland and washed out, the menu navigation is the slowest and most broken it has ever been in the history of the franchise and will straight up block you from accessing parts of the menu for no apparent reason. The campaign uninspiring, the script and its delivery make me want to do a Van Gough. At no point has this game felt worth the price it makes you pay. This game fails on all fronts. Microsoft had the good taste many years back to apologise for Windows Vista many years back and and that was good of them but, Activision, the only thing you can do to make up for this dumpster fire is to give a full refund to all who bought the game and desire one. This game, from a standpoint of gameplay and user friendliness , is more flawed than No Mans Sky. standpoint Expand

    The voice in this game yells at you that you have to do the missions: "conquer the bunker!" and "defend the bridge!".... I don't really like that.
    And the game goes a bit to fast for me....

    - The MP system sucks, too many perks that never get used and the kill streaks are actually boring. Along with that, it takes too long to unlock what you want with the skin you favor being locked behind a loot crate. 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)

    - No soul in this game whatsoever.

    Better than the last few CODs, but still pretty average. The campaign this time around was too over-the-top and repetitive for me. But the multiplayer did add one mode that I enjoyed; War. Plus the zombies was a bit better this time around. But it just didn't do much for me overall.

    Graphically the game isn't anything special, for a triple A title that had 3 years to work on the game they really dropped the ball big time on this!

    Gameplay wise, it's your usual COD minus wall running, boost jumping which isn't a bad thing when the game actually works, yes, that's right the game runs like total crap!
    The game suffers from so many wtf moments of how did I die, why does my gun seem like its doing less damage than his and this isn't just me saying this I've seen big Youtuber/Twitch players say the exact same thing!
    The lack of proper servers and the problematic lag compensator really screw this game up couple all of that with the fact the game matches people from across the world to play in lobbies, seriously how is that even happening!!

    Authenticity next, do they deliver? HELL NO they don't! Guns have terrible fake animations, it's just incredibly lazy, for an example when you shoot one bullet from the KAR98k and you go to reload instead of putting a single bullet in the character puts an entire stripper clip into the gun and they even put an entire stripper clip into the gun when you only have 1 bullet left in reserve, it's just absolutely laughable!
    Guns have no recoil they all shoot like damn lasers, snipers are just a one-hit kill from any range which just makes them the total unskilled weapon of many peoples choice.

    Then zombies... oh my god!!
    Making something easier isn't making it better, the zombies are basically invisible, yes they run faster, but it's so damn easy to avoid them you can run through them essentially and the map complexity is nil, void, there is no complexity or teamwork required so props to Sledgehammer on that *slow clap*...

    Finally, the story, it's a good war experience it displays some epic moments, nice change up of gameplay requiring health packs instead of regenerating health, but the story is far too short and lacks the same storytelling level that Treyarch brought to such a high standard.

    Overall, It's maybe not as low as I scored it, but the game is such a huge let down that I had to score it this way, so much for a short and sweet review.

    DO NOT EXPECT YOUR ORIGINAL FONDNESS TO BE REKINDLED BY THIS MASQUERADE.
    This is not a WW2 game. As stated by many others, this is a just modern warfare reskinned to look like WW2. I was very excited about this game, because I was an avid player of the original CODs in the WW2 era. I was hoping to get that experience with updated features. I am beyond disappointed. To help others avoid buying this game with false expectations, I will tell you what aspects ruined it for me.

    -BOLT ACTION IRON SIGHTS DESTROYED
    Firstly, the only weapon I used in COD1, UO, and COD2 was the bolt action rifle with iron sights. It took skill, and it fit my play style of not jumping around like an idiot with an SMG. Bolt action rifles (iron sights only) also happened to be the most common weapon in WW2 apart from American forces. What does COD WW2 give us? One bolt action rifle with iron sights that was put into the game as an afterthought and must be unlocked AND take up an attachment slot. Scopes are the default. In addition the iron sight bolt action rifle still handles like there is a scope on it. The animation and timing looks and feels like you are trying to look through the lens. This exclusion of the one of the most quintessential aspects of the WW2 genre is a slap in the face to all bolt action iron sight lovers.

    -This is still nothing more than a full auto/quick scoping nightmare.
    Full autos existed in the original CODs, but they were nowhere near the instakill 'who shoots first' death machines that comprise CODWW2. Yes, a good player could iron sight someone at long range with a carefully aimed headshot, but not at full auto. The original full auto weapons wouldn't melt down 4 players instantly halfway across the map. The recoil was far greater, and trigger control was necessary for accuracy even at close range.

    -Bullet piercing is outrageous.
    Bullets from even small caliber fire piercing thick metal surfaces is ludicrous. It's even worse on rinse and repeat maps with predictable hiding places. Just shoot through where you know someone will be. Yawn.

    -Tactical awareness of surroundings ruined.
    Then: Stealth determined by careful movement and selective fire. Enemy positions determined by careless movement and selective fire. You learned to locate the enemy by listening and instinct. The distinct sound of a Garand after it fired its last round giving you a brief window of opportunity. The difference between an enemy and ally based on the type of gun being fired. Does a German break cover to pursue the location of the person firing an STG44? Not likely. Weapons were restricted to the forces that used them. This seemingly unimportant aspect makes a world of difference in actual gameplay. You had only your senses to help you. Yes people still did the "run n' gun"/"spray n pray", but they were at a serious disadvantage to a calculated player.

    Now: Any gun, any player. Weapon distinctions rendered pointless. Recon scorestreak to show enemy positions. So much overpowering ambient noise and/or perks to make listening for the enemy no more than a crapshoot.

    -Screen shake over the top.
    My screen shakes constantly. Far away explosions make your screen shake violently. It's a stupidly poor attempt at immersion and gives me a headache.

    -Melee Showdowns
    Who didn't enjoy watching two bolt actions clashing at close range and having a melee duel? Dancing around trying to land a carefully aimed rifle butt to the face. It was almost a common understanding, an unspoken gentleman's agreement if you will, to duke it out. It was an endearing aspect of the originals. Well, that's not a thing anymore. The old mechanics made it viable. Now, well, the game design doesn't even allow for such a thing to happen.

    Bottom Line:
    I made the mistake of pre-ordering this game on PSN due to my excitement but couldn't get a refund after I played the Beta. I didn't download the actual game and play it for 6 months because the Beta disgusted me. They destroyed practically everything that made the original games great. Why do I have to play for hours to unlock the most common weapon type in WW2 (iron sighted bolt action)?
    ***Yes I am aware that the American standard issue was not a bolt action, but the British, German, Russian, Japanese, Italian, etc were all issued bolt action iron sighted weapons as the primary small arm***
    Why is the only ONE available designed like garbage?
    This game was marketed with lies that appealed to the emotional attachment players had to the originals and only delivered hot garbage. The game doesn't even feel like WW2.

    I don't care about the micro transactions. You don't have to buy crates to get loot and unlockables. You get plenty of crates from orders and contracts. If people want to waste money on overpriced crates, that's their prerogative.

    Buy the game used if you must. There is certainly no shortage of used copies.

    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.

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. If you want mindless run and gun with campers, horrible hit detection, no skill required, etc. then this game is for you. If you want a half decent FPS then look somewhere else. Expand

    Call of Duty WWII is a solid game, though it has MANY flaws. But before we get to the heart and soul of the game, the multiplayer, lets talk about the campaign.

    THE CAMPAIGN: It's pretty good, one of the better in the series, and the first one I've actually played all the way through since BO2. This campaign is a lot of the same stuff, but it feels more engaging because of the WW2
    Call of Duty WWII is a solid game, though it has MANY flaws. But before we get to the heart and soul of the game, the multiplayer, lets talk about the campaign.

    THE CAMPAIGN:
    It's pretty good, one of the better in the series, and the first one I've actually played all the way through since BO2. This campaign is a lot of the same stuff, but it feels more engaging because of the WW2 setting, and shooting Nazis with iconic WW2 guns was pretty cool. The characters were okay, they were a bit flat, but at least there was something here. They felt like flat characters, but they were still characters, which is more than I can say about some of the other games. Overall, it was a Call of Duty campaign, and if you enjoyed the other game's campaigns, you'll enjoy this one. If you're not a fan, I would still recommend trying it, as it makes some improvements I really like, like being able to request ammo, and meds from squad mates. It was pretty good for a CoD campaign, but nothing amazing.

    THE MULTIPLAYER:
    Oh, where do I start.
    First off, the good: The gameplay is fun, and it does feel more like the older Call of Dutys without the jetpacks and all that crap. It's pretty fast paced, but I found the gunplay pretty satisfying and the overall gameplay just pretty fun. Also, in this game they introduced a new mode, War, and put simply, its a blast. It's basically Battlefield's rush but in Call of Duty. You have to make it through a few objectives while the other team tries to stop you. I really like it, and hope to see it return in future titles. Yeah, so gameplay is pretty good.
    And now, the bad: This game had the WORST launch in all of CoD history. The first 2-3 days I couldn't even get into a multiplayer. It finally started working for me, but it's still a bit shaky, sometimes lagging, or taking longer than it should to find a match. Other people have been getting it worse than me, and apparently can't get into a match even now. This is unacceptable for a $60 AAA game. Also, Headquarters is an epic fail. Currently, it is impossible to get into headquarters with another player, which is the whole point. Your stuck wandering around by yourself. Some achievements even require you to do things with other players, which is hard to do WHEN THERE'S NO OTHER GODDAMN PLAYERS!!!! I also just hate the idea in general, I just wanna get into a game and shoot some dudes while blasting classic rock in the background (Please tell me I'm not the only one who does that). But I don't give a s*** about "Social Score" and doing stuff in the headquarters. Why not just put all that stuff in menus? Anyways, now that I've covered some launch issues, lets cover things about the game's fundamental mechanics. Divisions is a stupid system. When they said they were "going back to their roots" I didn't think they meant they were legit going back and removing some of the great innovative features of the recent CoDs. This system was a complete step back from the pick-10 system. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Sledgehammer said this one would feature more customization than ever before, which is just a flat out lie. In fact, it''s the opposite of the truth. There's less customization options for your classes in this one.
    This game is also lacking some iconic WW2 weapons. For example. the Sten, it was promised before the game launched, but it's nowhere to be seen. The Mosin Nagant, perhaps the most iconic sniper of the war, is completely absent from the game. We're also missing the Gewehr 43. This game doesn't feature a revolver of any kind either, which is most perplexing of all. Revolvers are such an iconic part of any war, I don't see why they wouldn't bother to include one in the multiplayer. Especially because there's one featured briefly in the campaign. They programmed the model and all the animations but didn't put it in the multiplayer?
    And finally, black female Nazis. Just, why. NOBODY would have complained if women weren't in the game. It's almost disrespectful to all the men who fought and died in the war. Even more stupid, is that you couldn't play as a female soldier in Infinite Warfare, a game taking place a few hundred years in the future, in freaking space for crying out loud. Nope, no females in that but WW2, yup, put women in it. Wtf?
    And finally,

    THE ZOMBIES:
    I'm not a huge zombies fan but this one's okay.

    THE VERDICT:
    CoD WWII is a good change of pace, and a solid Call of Duty experience, but is plagued with launch issues and broken gameplay mechanics. If you're a huge Call of Duty fan, and was looking forward to this one, go ahead and buy it. If you're not really into Call of Duty and are on the fence, I might be a bit hesitant to spend $60 on it. 6/10. Solid WWII shooter, and a needed change of pace for Call of Duty.
    Edit: 5 months in and I'm done. Boring gameplay, terrible maps, I only have 30 characters left, but no replay value basically.

I really wish the player base who share my sentiments would just stop buying the game and force them to change their model. The current model is to maximize profits, and give the impression of improvement or added value without actually doing it. The marketing and press are essentially lobbyists artificially inflate what is truly a inferior game. I could go on but I'll stop now.

    I have no idea what they've done to the servers but for the past two weeks they no longer work. The lag is game breaking and completely destroys all the fun. It makes the game a frustrating mess. Nearly every game I play I see the enemy first, unload a full clip into them getting 10 hit markers while they kill with one bullet. Even playing with steady aim and firing from the hip doesn't work, as soon as you see an enemy -as you are pulling the trigger- you are dead. On the rare occasion you will beast but sadly knowing it's because everyone else is lagging. Sometimes it hilarious; like when I came up behind a camper facing the opposite direction, unleashed a series of bullets into his head only for him to suddenly teleport around and quick scope me. Sometimes you could cry - like the round I played and went 0.20 because not a single bullet from any weapon would register.

    I switched back to IW and there I was, top of every game pulling high scores and low deaths. No other game I own lags like COD WW2. Battlefield runs perfect, Overwatch runs perfect, COD IW runs perfect, COD 4 remaster runs perfect yet WW2 is like playing on a 46k modem.

    The social hub is still a ghost town which they haven't bothered to fix, but made sure they added COD Points to buy loot crates!

    Maps are a mess, badly designed and boring. There's next to no content.

    The war maps are actually pretty fun and for some bizarre reason don't lag anywhere near as much as the standard maps, but there's only 3 of them!

    With the season pass you get a remastered map from COD2 which is insulting considering they didn't give enough maps with the main game, no doubt it was removed simply to entice people to buy the season pass.

    Basically it doesn't work, we should all be refunded for paying for a product that is basically in alpha stage still.

    Worst Cod in the history of cod. Avoid at all costs.

    ....................................................

    Update 06.01.18
    Two months after launch I have deleted COD WW2. The servers are completely broken to a point where it is now impossible to play. Lag com, poor hit detection, teleportation and spawns are destroying any fun that could have been had. Every game is a constant frustration and doing well is not based on skill but if you have lag comp for or against you. It's beyond frustrating to shoot first, get 12 hit markers and die to see in your kill cam you haven't even fired a bullet. This is officially the worst COD in the entire history of COD. It's a cheap rushed bare bones mess.

    You spend 130 dollars of your hard earned cash towards a game just to be given "unable to connect to host" every single time you try to play with the people you bought the game to play with. This is disgusting and there should be compensation or full refunds available to people due to this. Completely unacceptable for 2017 standards.

    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.

Everytime you ask for a loot box it gives you the same thing such as grips that you cant even look at ingame to Emotes that look all the same with different titles and rarity. COD WWll Zombies Stripped out some features that it was known for as well. Like the music that you get from the box and is now replaced with... well nothing (there is no recognizable sound). It hardly takes any sort of means to actually come up with a strategy anymore because all you have to do is run and gun then hopefully you get that OP gun that the Zombie mode gives you FOR FREE!!! The one thing I actually feel is sorta well done is the campian. It might have a couple of flaw from there to there but the campian does offer a variety of missions with different playstyles (unlike multiplayer) Expand

This includes the quick-scoping sniper shots and the perk stuff that is often constant when you are on a team that is doing nothing but getting killed.

    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.

    After the last three games, I have decided I will no longer buy a copy of COD. Too bad you had to keep going downhill starting with MW3... (for those of you that thought the nuke was cool, really!?!?)

    I really don't understand why the developers have gone in this direction. Maybe it is to differentiate themselves from BF. Either way, the COD series has become a joke to serious gamers. I will not buy the next title.

    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.

    This game is doodoo.

    I hate most of all, the fact that you get to pick what you look like going into a battle. In the last COD WW2 game, if you were on the side of the Japanese then you wore a Japanese uniform. Same goes for being on the American team, German, Russian and so on... Now, not only do you get to pick what uniform you wear, you also get to pick your gender and ethnicity.

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.

    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.

    Overall, definitely a waste of $60.

    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]
