    Okay so first off. This is the best Call of Duty campaign in roughly ten years. I personally think all of the campaigns since the first two have aged like **** but MW1, MW2, Blops, WAW, were all pretty fun campaigns when they came out. Call of Duty 1 and 2 have the best campaigns as they were made with primarily a PC focus and the campaigns were the main draw point to those two. Those twoOkay so first off. This is the best Call of Duty campaign in roughly ten years. I personally think all of the campaigns since the first two have aged like **** but MW1, MW2, Blops, WAW, were all pretty fun campaigns when they came out. Call of Duty 1 and 2 have the best campaigns as they were made with primarily a PC focus and the campaigns were the main draw point to those two. Those two are classics and this game definitely tries to recapture what made those so good. Its a pretty good campaign but very short (5 or 6 hours on hardened). The switch back to healthpacks instead of the regenerating bulls*** is a amazing choice here. So the campaign is great, whats wrong? Well the zombies is meh, not bad nor good. And the multiplayer.... Its still the same garbage tripe that the series has been pushing out the past few years. Advanced Warfare had one of the better multiplayer components in recent years and it still wasnt very good. This multiplayer is just bad, they took a lot of inspiration from the originals for the campaign but didnt do anything for the multiplayer. I do not understand how people still enjoy this after all these years and improvements from other series. Its the same garbage circular map design where its basically a matter of who sees who first with a focus on grinding so you can unlock the cheap a** weapons so you can mow down the lower level players who use pea shooters. Its the same unbalanced garbage that really requires very little skill and lots of bulls***. Its a shame because the campaign is one of the best in the series.

    Campaign = 7.8/10 (still very short which sucks and some bad on-rails sequences and QTEs)
    Multiplayer = 3/10 (very little good to be said about this)
    Zombies = 5/10 (nothing new really, just a horror atmosphere and its just boring.)
    Graphics = 9.2 (pretty damn good)
    Sound = 9.5 (COD always has fantastic sound design)

    Id say buy this used and beat the campaign then return it or get it on sale. The multiplayer is what really kills this game since its the main focus and its abysmal. But even though most of my review is negative, the campaign still deserves a lot of praise as a call of duty campaign since the past 5 have had absolute garbage campaigns.    … Expand

    The campaign and zombie mode seems fine, but I am here for the Multiplayer...for your reference, my favorite games in the series were Modern Warfare 1 & 2 and Black Ops II, in no particular order.

    This is one of the bigger disappointments in my gaming life, my friends and I were going to get the gang back together, after one day of this mess we will probably all be returning the game.

    This is one of the bigger disappointments in my gaming life, my friends and I were going to get the gang back together, after one day of this mess we will probably all be returning the game. This game might look like boots on the ground WW2, however it doesn't feel like it at all. You're zooming around the map like it's nothing, it's a twitch shooter, I can't remember a COD game that felt so, for a lack of a better word, wrong. Advanced and Infinite warfare weren't my cup of tea, to say the least, but the way they controlled was in line with the setting and equipment.
    My biggest complaint might actually be the maps. Not only are they tiny, they are weirdly streamlined, don't feel like authentic environments, just corridors with a coat of paint (ugly coat of paint too, the graphics in mp are very underwhelming). The interface in my opinion is a mess, the hub world completely unnecessary. Bottom line, I have no intention of going back to the game. Which is kind of sad, we were all really looking forward to this. Even World at War was a superior WW2 shooter. I won't give this game a 0, because it obviously just doesn't deserve that, but I do believe a 5 is a fair score, I am shocked by the positive reception by some gaming sites (apart from the single player). I'd say stay away from this one...    … Expand

    -Some of the worst multiplayer maps in the call of duty franchise. Majority of your deaths will come from being shot from behind due to awful map design.

    -Censorship in a game that's supposed to be for adults is inappropriate. Sledgehammer has no right to tell others what's too sensitive to view and what's not. Hiding swastikas in a game about WWII is just immature and illogical on Sledgehammer and Activision's part.

    -The outdated connection service they use is really showing just how outdated it is. A mass amount of people that bought the game cannot connect to the servers. The fact that Activision makes literally billions of dollars a year from their gambling crates but still use the cheapest possible multiplayer service is disgusting...

    When its all said and done this game could've been amazing. Sledgehammer could've created a masterpiece and proved to everybody that they really don't just make these games on a yearly basis as a cash grab. They dropped the ball and WWII is the result. I've been playing cod for over 10 years and after the amount of disappointment I received from WWII, I'm officially done with the franchise. Won't be contributing to a company like Activision who is 100% anti consumer.    … Expand

    Before buying WW2, i was excited for Call of Duty to go back to BOTG. Although i was disappointed with how unoriginal and uninspiring the game is as a whole.

    Zombies: Without a doubt, zombies is my favorite part of the whole game. I have been a big fan of WAW,B01, and B02 zombies and still play it today with my friends. WW2 zombies to me feels VERY similar in ways to these games but    Before buying WW2, i was excited for Call of Duty to go back to BOTG.

WW2 zombies to me feels VERY similar in ways to these games but doesn't add too much. With the two zombie maps that come with game, you get bored with them fairly quick (but that's not to say they are horrible maps). Although if you're looking to get WW2 strictly for zombies, i would recommend waiting for Zombie DLC maps to come out first.

    Multiplayer: For me, the WW2 multiplayer was a huge let down. The game itself feels very slow paced, for the reasons that:
    - If you are firing from a fair distance with an smg, it can take up to 7 shots to kill someone.
    -It takes a 5 kill streak just to get a UAV.
    -Maps are way to big (most maps of the maps i hate)
    For some people i can understand if you would enjoy a slower paced game. But for me I hate it. On the positive side, the sounds and visuals in the game a very satisfying.

    Campaign: After completing the campaign i was in shock to how boring of a story it was. The campaign could of been written by a kid in elementary school. How the story progressed was very predictable, and there were only missions that involved Americans and Nazi's... With that, the missions itself were just boring. There wasn't a single mission that i would love to go back and replay.

    Overall WW2 in terms of call of duty standards was a disappointment. It was nowhere worth the amount of money the game costs and the campaign felt like a complete waste of time. I would recommend trying to borrow the game first and possibly waiting for future dlc and patches to come out.    … Expand

    Campaign -
    While i know most play call of duty for the multiplayer, i still love playing the campaigns as well. The one were given here in WW2 has to be one of the worst in the franchise. Characters who i cant remember with the exception of Daniels because everyone was screaming his name every 2 seconds, clipping that can be spotted easily with one example being in the opening scene and vehicle physics that are plain awful. The first level was so much fun but it all just fell apart after that. If your buying just for the campaign, pass on this one.

    Multiplayer -
    Here is where the game should really shine but it just doesn't. We all know what a disaster the launch was so i'm just going to skip over that. The game comes standard with 9 maps and to be honest i only kinda like 2 or 3 of them. Theres no map that comes up in the rotation that i get excited to play on. The spawns are AWFUL and i seem to always be put right infront of someone who ends up shooting me in the back. The guns need some serious work as everyone is just running around with the STG, Bar, PPSH and kar. The new mode war is pretty fun until you realize there are only 3 maps to play on with it and the new headquarters is ripped straight from destiny and feels pointless. I dont play zombies so i cant personally speak on that but from what im hearing its not to great either.

    I hope one day i'll be able to love a call of duty game again but this most definitely is not the one.

    It's okay. It starts off great, the campaign goes to the most famous battle in all of WW2, D-Day and the first mission is great. If only the rest was as interesting. The problem is, is that I've seen it before. It doesn't really do anything new. Sure the first mission is great but after that, it just felt like MW2 with a WW2 skin over it.

    It also for a WW2 isn't that historically accurate. If you're sensitive to some games being too PC, stay the hell away because they don't even have the enemies wear the Nazi uniforms. This game could've been Activision's chance to give us a gritty but over the top experience and it just fell flat.

    The combat is more of the same as COD has been for the past 10+ years. If you love it, you'll love it but it feels too arcadey. The AI is braindead most of the time and it just doesn't have a sort of impact I'd prefer.

    Not a horrible FPS and you could do worse but if you like historically accurate WW2 games, this isn't for you. If you wanted COD to maybe feel a bit less arcadey and have better AI, this won't do it. The only ones I can really recommend this to are die-hard fans of the series.

    COD really needs to find a way to reinvent itself because it's very stale and this proves just how stale it has become.    … Expand

    Got it from PS Plus. Never ever finished it. Gameplay is boring as hell and feels like a remastered Call of Duty 2 from the early 2000. Which is not a bad thing, if the game was published at least 10 years ago. The stealth missions are a disgrace. Nothing like from CoD4. Plot is chaotic as well. And I am so tired that Americans won everything and not only in WW2. Pathetic.

I wrote this review after attempting to play with a shotgun. I ran around a corner, fired into someone's head and didn't receive a hit marker before I was killed. A respawn later, I sprinted and rounded into someone who ran around a corner at the same time as myself, but somehow fired 4 shots before I could hit my trigger once. This is so bad because it makes the entire sub machine gun/shot gun classes unplayable for those with strong connections. I *have* to use long range assault rifles and even then, I *have* to be viewing down scope before someone is in sight to stand a chance. Ever wanted to know what it feels like to consistently prone down in a corner half covered by a wall waiting for someone to round a corner(not because you're a camper, but because you *have* to camp) and then when they do, they STILL manage to zoom down their scope at you and fire 3 shots before you get to fire one, and then in the replay that half second you saw them before being shot was actually a full 1-2 seconds?

    Oh, but the critics love it, don't they?

"Gaming journalism" indeed; integrity personified. Amazing how that little tidbit of trivia isn't widely publicised eh? Pfft...

    I am convinced people buy this out of habit at this point. I certainly don't buy it, but I think everyone has that one friend who still does because the series made him happy when he was a teenager or something and it's become a drug to them. They tolerate any level of pure crap the series throws at them because they scored that perfect kill 10 years ago and it made them smile.

    Good for them. For the rest of us who can't casually discard our brain, CoD:WWII is a complete waste of time and epitomises every single last thing wrong with this ridiculous industry.    … Expand

    Loot crates are obviously there, disgusting to have them opening on normandy batlefield in your "social area" and visable to all, there really isnt an "enough money earned here" is there!

    Overall I feel more down on the franchise now than ever before, it needs to go away and have a high level rethink about COD's future as come next year, COD will not be a pre order or even a day one purchase for me!    … Expand

    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

    - The campaign is too short, although decent, forgettable.
    - Game modes are banal (big surprise), done much better in alternative games of the same genre
    - Zombies are still fairly entertaining to play with friends, but the game mode is quite like the nature of a zombie – lifeless, often pedestrian, and mostly uninspired.

    This time around, I’d say COD is lower than mediocre. I absolutely encourage waiting for a price drop (unless you absolutely adore COD multiplayer/zombies).    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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.

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.

    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.

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.    … Expand

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.

As a player to the franchise since COD4 and playing pretty much every COD since, I have absolute confidence in saying that this game is hot garbage and if this is the direction and attitude it has chosen, then I am truly done with this series for good. I will breakdown the campaign, multiplayer and zombies and give my thoughts on them:

    Campaign - This is easily one of the worst COD campaigns and maybe even worse campaigns as a whole to a game I have ever played. Maybe this is because I'm a history major and researching WW2 as a teen but this genuine trash. The narrative struggles to be either a Band of Brothers style or a over the top action film you'd see from Michael Bay, with explosions and scenes of "loud explosion following ears ringing and dude pulling you on your feet" scattered in too many times. The characters are mostly cardboard cutouts that have no real personality, depth or weight to the situation and their abilities you use in combat are more frustrating and gimmicky than satisfying. The mission variety is typical COD design: boring shooting galleries of killing scores of people with little to no reaction, QTEs and gimmicky additions like tank and plane escorts that don't bring out the full potential it should. The authenticity of WW2 is pretty much trashed; it takes place in 1944-1945, which is invalidating most of the war (in which the first three CODs and World at War did correctly), the Allied forces are largely set aside for the American v.s. Nazis clash and more as gimmicky tokenism of cultures that disrespect their service (despite the opening clearly stating over 50 countries fought and left 65 million dead), characters don't act realistic to the situation, hitmarkers, retreading the same exact structure as other CODs before it. The climax and ending was forced and tonally out of place. It's trash and deserves no love and only scorn. I don't care that people only buy it for the multiplayer; if you put something in your game you want those players to play that in their game. Case closed. 3/10

    Multiplayer- Standard COD multiplayer with a WW2 skin. It wasn't like COD 2 or 3 had great multiplayers anyways, it was COD 4 that put COD on the map in the first place. The game modes are still the same, the division system is pointless as you can pick any gun you want anyways, war mode is weak on operations, the inclusion of PC friendly race and gender options instantly destroys any authenticity this game claims to have, a **** hub world copy and paste from Destiny, loot boxes that fall from the sky and promote gambling and skinner box mentality that is abhorrent and should be scorned deeply. I suppose if you play with friends there can be some fun to be had and it feels more grounded compared to the last entries, but it doesn't do anything new that is concerning and by my fifth match I was already bored and wanted to play something else. Also add connectivity issues at launch and you got a fine example of a rushed product. 4/10

    Zombies- Usually my favorite mode COD ever has and in some ways is the best to date. I like some of the changes made to the design of the game, but I unfortunately couldn't help to feel that it is too easy (as a vet of zombies since 2008). The characters aren't interesting and boring; their constant breathing and gasping becomes grating and annoying after awhile. The zombies themselves lose their dark charm quickly and their voicework makes them goofier than what should be (since I thought this was going to be a far more edgier zombies). Loot boxes in this mode is pointless and extremely ****. With it being easy and being able to get to high rounds with little challenge, I honestly felt bored and wall guns are just powerful as mystery box guns, completely making it pointless to use. The most disappointing part is each past zombies game (WAW and the Black Op series) had ideas that never got here despite being worth the inclusion. The human like models of WAW, the extra maps from BO1, the passive perks you get and the bank system in BO2 and gumballs in BO3 all could have been in this game, but isnt. The single map at launch is insulting and even with friends it can only last so long before you get bored. Decent overall. 6/10

    The game will have microtransactions, has a season pass and generally feels like 'another Call of Duty', no matter if it returns to its roots or not. I am sick and tired of this series, the greed behind it and the stupid masses (myself included) who buy these games anymore and pass it off as dudebro topics. I gave COD a chance and after a decade, it's time to throw in the towel for any hope for the series. COD definitely has found its roots, but to grow a big nasty parasite of a plant instead of the hopeful tree of originality and charm. 4/10 overall. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.    … Expand

    Would only recommend to people who haven't played cod for a while, i can honestly say i have seen Fifa change more than cod the last few years which shows how stale it is wait for the modern warfare 2 remaster or buy an older cheaper better cod.

    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,    This is just about the campaign..

    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.    … Expand

    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.

However it plays it too safe and the story is generic and way too short. Some good but mostly forgettable. The multiplayer has some cool ideas like the HQ and the new division system but the maps, score-streaks, and mostly everything feels very meh. However the loot boxes and crates re using items is beyond scummy and just flat out dumb. The zombies is overly complicated with all these diffrnet perks and "load outs" and the map is confusing.

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

    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

    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

A game of TDM takes 5 minutes when it should be closer to 15. No penalizations for kids leaving every time their team starts losing. I guess it doesn't matter what the community thinks anyways because the kids are going to keep buying this garbage and feeding developers money for being lazy. Load times for logging in, interface, and maps are laughable. I'm not even going to bring up the loot boxes..

    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.

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).

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!
    Battlefield 1 did so much right last year. The campaign was great, Told many storyyys and you cared about the characters. The multiplayeer WORKED and was fun, too.    … Expand

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 game has amazing graphics and starts out really awesome, but after some short time the game just keeps coming up with RANDOM encounter of German soldiers that fight to the dead the 1 sec and surrender the next. the first mission has more action packed in the whole mission than the whole game of Modern warfare 2 and it makes it dull.. and    Once again the Cod franchise disappoints.....

After putting a solid 20+hours into the game, around 5 in single player and 15+ in multiplayer I can honestly say "save your money", i'm quite regretting purchasing the game myself. When the game is fun, it is great (Mainly when playing with friends), however, it constantly disconnects you from your party, from games, halfway through games, when the game ends, when the game begins. Gives you loading screens that last in excess of 20 minutes. Black screens that you can not back out of, therefore making you reset the game completely. No dedicated servers. No host migration (it simply ends the game if the host leaves). Completely empty HQ thanks to **** connections, so you cant complete some of the challenges e.g. give 50 commendations to other players. The game is shipped out with the bare minimum when it comes to maps and variation, probably waiting to release more maps via season pass (as if we didn't realise Activision is money hungry already). The maps they give us are very poorly designed and thought out, because playing as a black, female Nazi in the London Docks was somehow going to make sense. In the last 2 hours of gameplay alone I have been disconnected/kicked/black screen'd at least 17 times. Party members have been thrown into random games not with the party and if that wasn't infuriating enough when we joined the game, the remaining 3 party members where split 2/1 on the teams, fantastic right?

    Honestly, if you are REALLY interested in the single player campaign (which lasts maybe 5 hours) then wait for a sale and then get it, or at best lend/rent it from somewhere. This game is not worth the £49 asking price. Not by a long shot, unless they get their fingers out their ass and fix the myriad of problems it currently has.    … Expand

The objective is to give one player a lag advantage along with an emotional/mental high to keep coming back when they have a match go 17-5 in their favor. Not unlike a drug dealer. 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. This is why the series is dead. Your skill or desire to build a skill-set doesn't mean anything to them.… Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.
