    + Good campaign.
    + Very good Zombies Nazis mod.

    -Some textures are blurred.
    -Certain accessories are not totally in adequacy with the theme of the game.

    I personally enjoyed the game quite a lot. With this being said I also had a lot of issues with this game. Some of these were the maps aren’t the best, aren’t enough guns, killstreaks aren’t great, and the loot boxes are my biggest complaint. I overall enjoy the multiplayer and campaign even with all the criticisms.

    I bought this game from a second hand store like every other game for like 15€-10€ and it was worth it in my opinion: decent storyline (not that good but still), nice mechanics and other things though this game can get very annoying at times.

    Very good game. The campaign is awesome and the multiplayer as fun and addicting as ever. The only issue I have so far are all the server issues the launch has had. They are quite bad, but besides that the game is super fun! I recommend it.

    This game checks so many boxes. If you like COD for the full-bore arcade action this will not disappoint. So happy Activision released something strong, simple, and on point.
    No bull - just a straight up quality close quarters FPS with ample grime and gore for the console gamer in mind with all three Career, Multiplayer and Zombies being rich and rewarding. Feels like tons of replay value

    Campaign only review: THE BEST COD SO FAR.
    Return to past was a great move. In this interactive feel train movie I had so many awesome moments. I am more Black ops or Modern Warfare type of a gamer, but this World War II theme was processed amazingly.

    Campaign - It's probably one of the best Call of Duty Campaigns up to date. Lots of fun, challenging depending on the difficulty, and more. However I feel like the campaign is a little short, you can complete it within 5 hours, but it doesn't matter, as long as I'm having a good time, I have nothing to complain about.

    Multiplayer - Now I will agree that this is probably one of the worst launch for any Call of Duty title, however Sledgehammer is continuing to fix it and multiplayer is now playable. I don't like the fact that you lose some XP or you get the correct amount, I hope they fix that sometime soon. Besides all that, boots on the ground made MP better than the last few CoDs. People are saying that "It's a reskin from the past few CoDs" or "They just copied WAW or BF1", now I will have to highly disagree with this statement, didn't everyone want Boots on the Ground Call of Duty back? Why are they complaining now, by the end of the day they just end up playing it no matter what. MP playing with friends or by yourself is still fun.

    Zombies - This mode has been in the last few CoDs, starting with WAW, BO1, BO2, AW, BO3, IW, and now WW2. Now this zombies mode doesn't beat Treyach Zombies, theirs will always be my favorite out of all of the CoDs. However zombies is still fun, especially with friends. Sledgehammer did a good job with the map (The Final Reich), zombies can come out of no where and they actually look terrifying, yet they can even scare you at times. I wish there were more maps to play on but I guess we will just have to wait for more DLC.

    Micro Transactions - Micro-transactions has been in almost every multiplayer game, Overwatch, Rainbow 6 Siege, Battlefront 2, and more. It's not surprising that Call of Duty: WW2 has micro-transactions, however I see no point of complaining about micro-transactions and here's why. You don't need it. They're just cosmetics for you to wear or use on your guns, and you don't need DLC weapons to be good in a game. To be good in a game, you must be skillful, yes I understand that some CoD players might just sit in corners just to wait for you but here's a solution, throw a grenade to get them out of there. even if they have a DLC weapon or not, they will lose most likely. It's not like Star Wars Battlefront 2 where you get a hero and you become more powerful. Plus people feel the need to get it and the only way to get it is to buy it.... well here's where they're wrong, you don't need to buy items in a game to be good, most likely Sledgehammer is gonna make it so you can spend your Armory Credits on collections to get a DLC weapon and they're not that hard to get. You can complete contracts that will grant you a free supply drop or armory credits or you can be lucky and get a free Rare Supply Drop by the end of the game. So stop complaining, you don't NEED to buy them.

    Issues -
    Maps are tiny (Not that bad though)
    Some guns are weak (like the Shotguns or some SMGs)
    Not enough maps (Only about 9 playable maps, 3 War Maps)
    XP not working correctly
    Disconnected by the end of the game
    Party not working correctly (Sometimes it will kick you out or you will see a black screen until the next game starts)

    Other than that I gave CoD WW2 a 8/10, not a great launch but it is a great game, boot on the ground is back, fun game, I would give it a try.

    This is a genuinely objective review: CoD WWII is really quite good.

    The last CoD I played was Black Ops 3, and I thought that iteration was acceptable. The last truly great Call of Duty I've played was Modern Warfare 3. After half a decade of the wallrunning, exosuit-toting madness, I was really not holding out hope for WWII to be anything other than a bland money grab. Of course,
    This is a genuinely objective review: CoD WWII is really quite good.

    The last CoD I played was Black Ops 3, and I thought that iteration was acceptable. The last truly great Call of Duty I've played was Modern Warfare 3. After half a decade of the wallrunning, exosuit-toting madness, I was really not holding out hope for WWII to be anything other than a bland money grab. Of course, being a giant moron, I pre-ordered it at 11:45 on the night of launch rather than go for broke on Wolfenstein 2. I spent the 15 minutes before actual launch wondering who had drugged my dinner to make me do such a thing. And then I played it.

    Barring the launch night issues connecting to multiplayer servers, the game is a beautiful and sincere addition to the franchise. The campaign is, in its purest essence, Saving Private Ryan without the Private Ryan. It even opens with the landing at Normandy, and from there blossoms into a not so imaginative, but hellishly fun shooter. I'm on the third or fourth level at this point, and I'm eager to play the rest: It sounds amazing (Sledghammer took notes from the original Star Wars: Battlefront reboot) and it looks just as great. The audio and visuals have never been better in CoD. Character design is pretty standard for the FPS genre, but the connection and relationships between characters is still suitable to make the campaign enjoyable, rather than a chore.

    Multiplayer is quite refreshing in that it gets straight back to what once made Call of Duty the must-own in FPS land: Raw, skill-based arcade shooting, with a delicious array of weapon attachments, cosmetic upgrades, and skill perks to unlock which revolve around a new and intriguing "Division" system. This isn't in line with the usual CoD title, where ten or so custom classes are yours to outfit. Instead, it gives you that option with the ability to truly maximize a given class's skillset: If you play as the "Mountainous" (Sniper) Division, you will see added rewards for keeping your sniper equipped rather than toting an SMG in your ghillie suit. The Divisional loadouts give reason to diversify your classes, rather than set up five different iterations of the same OP rifle or other that typically plague CoD installments. How many of us used anything other than an ACR combo in the old days? Now, you're incentivized to branch out with your custom classes in order to maximize your killing potential. Lastly, the new War mode is really compelling: It can be difficult at times given some spawn and location advantages for defenders/attackers depending on map, but a really neat mode that I look forward to them expanding upon. New maps and variants should make War a great staple mode, particularly for those who like campaigns and don't traditionally favor online multiplayer.

    Zombies, too, has met a drastic and much-needed upgrade. BLOPS3 zombies at launch, frankly, sucked. It was too hard to progress, too unclear in its rules, and ultimately if you didn't matchmake with someone who knew what they were doing, it was far too difficult to last beyond the initial waves, no matter how fun Jeff Goldblum is to play with. With a refreshing return to actual zombies and shambling mutants that are - above all else - enjoyable to kill and fight, I was really pleased with the experience. So far I've gotten a few 1.5-2 hour long runs under my belt, although I have yet to meet the "big boss" I've heard about waiting at the finish. That dang zeppelin gets me every time. From the ground up, the zombies mode is creepier and more intricate in its campaign mission and overall tone: It feels more cohesive than any mode before, including my beloved Tranzit from the BLOPS2 days. Guns feel good in zombies mode, and everything but the starting pistol packs enough punch to at least feel useful in some scenario or other. The added quest markers and objective notes make it that much more user-friendly to get to the bottom of the campaign and make tangible progress, which is both friendly to noobs and dismissable entirely for those who want to try their hand at exploring with no direction. The lore is at least suitably engaging, and on the whole it's a treat to play, with friends or online.

    The ultimate bads:

    Campaign: Derivative: doesn't do much that's new for WWII, but brings a nice exposure to the conflict to a younger audience that doesn't remember Finest Hour or Medal of Honor the way I do. Characters are well-worn tropes that could use some inspiration.

    Multiplayer: not very friendly to newbies. At this point, if you're not well-versed in CoD and FPS shooters generally, you're going to get killed a lot and that's going to really frustrate you. But the modes are just diverse enough to stay interesting. Guns are fun to use and sound great, but really there are only a handful that you see time and time again. The community knows the STG-44 is it.

    Zombies: Needs a non-campaign mode.

    Verdict: Dang good. 8/10.

    In fairness, the game maps are incredible although I wanted at least 2-3 more. The graphics are amazing. The story is pretty fun so far although not my favorite of the 3 modes. Zombies is actually gorey and dark finally with some amazing multiplayer fun to be had. But most of all the multiplayer is amazing. The servers had their ups and downs at launch so little 9 year old billy finds the need to lose his Hi C over it. but even with unstable servers so far the HQ is amazing, the camos aren't tasteless, it actually has better multiplayer achievements and gives you a sense of reward for good matches. Random supply drops ect... it needs more with updates added. More camos, more outfits and more calling cards. But all and all the game is legendary. Enjoy. :)

    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.
