    Call of Duty WWII can be split into 3 game modes each of which is radically different to each other.

    The campaign is the best in the Call of Duty franchise since Black Ops. It has stunning visuals, great characters and has a compelling story. It has replay-ability and manages to stay interesting. The only real negative of the campaign is that it is too action packed, which is a common problem with COD games. Huge explosions, great falls and unrealistic odds make the game unrealistic and goofy.

    The online multiplayer (which for most is the highlight of the game) is the polar opposite of the campaign. The visuals take a hit and are noticeably worse than the story. The maps are boring and not very re playable and it is a forgettable and boring experience. The maps are small and linear, the invisible walls are unforgivable and 2 of the very limited maps are obvious copies of Modern Warfare maps. Unlike the campaign which was over the top, the multiplayer is so under whelming. On top of this, the multiplayer suffers from pay to win mechanics and poor servers. Most guns are locked behind loot boxes which you can either pay real money for or grind like hell, only to end up with customised weapon grips. A FPS has customised weapon grips which are barely visible! As for servers, i played the game about 7-8 months after release and i keep being kicked from games and being locked out of matches. After 8 months, this should have been fixed.

    The final game mode is Zombies. Zombies is fun and interesting. There is a story and multiple different objectives and the map is huge. It is difficult however and is best played with friends in co-op.

    Over all, this game is a mixed bag, excelling in some game modes but horrifically failing in others. The campaign is great, as is Zombies, however the Online seriously holds the game back from greatness.    … Expand

    My only problem is as follows:
    My game is lagging like really a lot. Every time I play, it starts to lag. Then when I want to continue someone killed me or my game does not want to continue. So, every time this happens, I must restart the whole game and start from the beginning. Then I also want to ask to bring in more powerful weapons. For example, it takes 4 shots to kill someone, and by that time someone already killed me. My game also takes very long to connect online or in multiplayer.

    The Pros of the game:
    I really like the maps in the game. It has really nice hideouts for sniping. I also like to follow the story of how the game takes place. The best for me is the great graphics. It really looks realistic.

    I would recommend this game to people who likes war games.    … Expand

    In my opinion it does what it sets out to do excellently. Don't expect the depth of an open world RPG- this is an action packed, linear shooter that rewards reflexes and accuracy. The story knits it together nicely and has some moral and historical messages that while a little trite might be of value to those not familiar with WW2 history.

    Graphics are realistic, very detailed and smooth on the normal PS4, and the cut scenes could genuinely be stylized live action at times.

    The campaign is relatively short but extremely dense, there is not a second of boredom. Reasons to replay include higher difficulties and collectibles. It is nicely varied with sniping, trench warfare, turrets, stealth, planes, tanks, jeeps and more. The short tank sequence in particular is brilliantly tense if you get into the mindset.

    There are some horrible weapons too like flamethrowers and double-barrelled shotguns make you pity the Nazi victims at times.

    I don't play multiplayer FPS so cannot comment on that. Zombies looks like a fun addition.

    It's not a 10 because it isn't incredibly original, and the campaign could be a little longer, with perhaps a bit more flexibility on routes or tactics.

    I gather most of the griping on here is about the multiplayer. I'd honestly ignore those complaints and highly recommend picking up the game just for the campaign.    … Expand

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.

    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

    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.    … Expand

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

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

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

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

    Gameplay-
    This game is not revolutionary or innovative in a single aspect, nothing is inspired and because of that there isn't all that much interest in what you're doing. However there's a reason for this, and that is that Call Of Duty essentially has set the model for FPS games. It can't revolutionise because then it stops being true to its series. You could argue that this means the series should just stop, an argument I sit on the fence with. Anyway, the campaign is mediocre. The voice acting is good but aside from that its just occasional cinematic moments and repetitive points (and whoever created that piece of garbage tank section in the Aachen mission is going to hell, that is truly terrible). It's a Call Of Duty campaign. Not bad, definitely not great. The multiplayer I actually properly enjoyed. TDM, S&D etc are the same thing as in every other game. However war, this is just good, thank whatever god you pray to they made this. This mode is repetitive but it's actually fun, a brilliant bridge between campaign and multiplayer. It takes you along these mission based maps each with their own tense checkpoints. This kept this game from being a 4 and bumped it up to a 6. This is exactly what you'd hope for in a Call Of Duty game. The zombies is pretty good. They pivoted completely from Infinite Warfare and went for a dark, nightmarish approach, there are literal moments of almost pure darkness in the easter egg. The problem primarily with the zombies is that really there is only one base game zombies map which gets boring after completing the Easter egg for your fifth time. The mini map you get for completing the EE is just bad. It has a quick pace but it honestly feels like a tutorial map, because it is also the tutorial map, it's pretty lazy for the developer to release it as the only other map. Also David Tenants character doesn't really fit in this area of the game, he has quips and is meant to be a bit of comic relief. However their approach of a horror zombies makes his character just seem wrong.
    Aesthetic-
    Visually this game has a fine aesthetic. Its hyper realistic but its very brown and grey as their primary hues. In the zombies its really cool though, the zombies are covered in torn flesh and twisted metal, it really fits their tone of a near horror approach to zombies. The soundtrack and audio is pretty good. Its got no pumping riffs and power chords like Black Ops 1, instead it's quite classical and very similar to Battlefield 1's soundtrack. Good, but nothing inspiring.
    Replayability-
    If a single person says that the campaign is replayable, they are full of it. It is not even remotely interesting enough to be worth playing more than once, it's barely worth playing just that once. Multiplayer, it generally is except for War which just yes. War is the smartest, most replayable thing a COD game has implemented in years. The zombies is until you've played it for more than 20 solid goes. Then it gets stale, which is frustrating as it is designed as a mode to be done lots of times.

    In conclusion, COD:WW2 is fairly uninspired with almost nothing thats particularly new or interesting. I give it a 6 as there is enough to do and is worth the price tag, however if you dislike previous Call Of Duty's then you'll dislike this one. Except for War. Mhm that is actually good. It's fine, not bad, but certainly not revolutionary either.    … Expand

    I fell out of COD after BO2 so it's been a while. I was excited for this entry but of course came away disappointed and frustrated. The campaign is generic but decent enough. The multiplayer is the main point of the game and it is horrendous. I can't remember worse maps on a COD game. Every map is tiny and forces you into 3 lanes. There's no strategy at all.

Every map is tiny and forces you into 3 lanes. There's no strategy at all. Basically the multiplayer is like taking a bunch of autistic children, giving them guns and crack, and throwing them into a tiny map. Hit detection is nothing short of horrific. Time after time I'd fire a shotgun point-blank into an enemy's chest only to have it not register at all and be killed. Most gunfights are based on some perverse sense of luck rather than any skill. The weapon damage has no basis in reality. HQ is a waste of time, and the micro-transactions are simply another insult to an already poor game. 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

    reflex sights were rarely used on small weapons in WWII. Why does COD think its okay to use it on small weapons? Why cant they make an actual somewhat realistic game for once?????

    One of the best in the franchise yet. Great campaign, great zombie mode and a welcome change of the old type of multiplayer back.

    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

The characters, they have charisma and you really get to care about them, having importance in the story and in the gameplay, helping you with supplies and techniques. You will have differnt types of gameplay, controlling a tank or a plane for example, giving a little of variety to the gameplay. Generally isn't that original or anything, but still pretty fun.
    Multiplayer: The multiplayer isn't the best of the franchise, but it's pretty fun. They added some modes that really are worth to talk about, the mode War, it consists in one team trying do advance and complete one objective per time, and the other trying to stop it, this mode really explore the map and how you can use the map in favor or against you, it really reminded me from Rush in Battlefield 3, the mode Pop Hunt that is based on things that already existed but is soo much fun, i enjoyed that one very much, it consist in one team becoming and object and hiding, during the other is trying to find those, playing that with friends are a sure fun moment. The variety of weapons considerable, hand to hand and shooting weapons.
    Zombies: This mode in this game really made me had a lot of fun, the zombies here aren't completely new but have some good and interesting inovation, the prologue passes in a small house and you can work around that and keep going on wave to wave, very fun to do it so. The Final Reich worked very well to me, a i did enjoyed how the map was constructed and how it worked out, the amount of enemies is ok, not very much. What i really liked it, are the easter eggs, it took time and aren't that easy to do, if you can get together some friends to do them, you will definely have some hours of fun and struggling.
    This Call of Duty is the first one that i played since BO2, so i wasn't bored or even knowing what was going on on the franchise very much, so it possibly counted to this review.    … Expand

    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.

    Revitalised and exemplary FPS gaming. Multiplayer trims back to the essentials, campaign shows sensitivity and Zombies...well it's a new excuse to play CoD Zombies. [Christmas 2017, p.77]
