    I want to really like this game, call of duty was a favorite of mine growing up and when i heard we'd be going back to boots on the ground gameplay i was excited. While this is not the worst game in the series (cough infinite warfare cough) it is in my opinion the worst boots on the ground experience we've been given so far.

    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.

    My final rating of Call Of Duty: WW2 is a 5/10

    After taking a break from this series after MW2, thought they might be able to replicate the brilliance of World at War.

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

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

    Pros:

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

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

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

    I don't understand all the hate here. Yes, the servers were bad at launch but oh well. Call of Duty is finally back to its roots with World War 2 and boots on the ground. The single player is great and worth a try. The multiplayer is pretty good and so is the zombies.

    So Call of Duty World War 2, the game i have been waiting for since World at War was released in 2008, was not a disappointment.

The game features a detailed story that utilizes the old style health bar system, reminds me of the old medal of honor days. I would give this game at least a 9 if the story was the only feature, but its not. Sledgehammer took zombies in somewhat different direction that promotes horror and gore rather than the goofy style of Infinite Warfare, it's a rather detailed and immersive zombies experience. Now the important topic, multiplayer. Multiplayer is your standard boots on the ground game play, it has an new create-a-class system called divisions. The division style is much like Battlefield but it allows more customization, by that I mean you can run the machine gunner division with a shotgun and it would still work fine. I really enjoyed the multiplayer but as of Thanksgiving 2017 my game is broken, not the disc I mean the game itself. Many people such as myself have experienced the game-breaking bugs known as error code 1, 3, and 5. The bug downloads a quick playlist update then automatically fails returning you to the start screen, then when you try to join multiplayer (or any other online function) it re-downloads and errors again sending you into an infinite loop. Many of us paid $60-120 on this game just to not play it. That is not the only multiplayer bug, there have been many reports of black-screening, server kicks, and overall complications revolving around the servers. Would be a great game if myself and many others could play it. Expand

    Campaign player here. I felt like all the cool stories happened with World at War, and then they had to try and come up with other things that just weren't as interesting; too short. Also.. you play as a girl trying to deliver a briefcase for a level. The graphics were really nice though.

    Online, microtransactions and it seems a little light on content have let this down. More of WW2 should have been added, it was a world war after all.

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

    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.

    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.

    Simply put, multiplayer this time around feels the most broken in terms of lag compensation the series has ever had. If I play at 2 or 3 in the morning(EST) I manage high KDR. If I play during prime time, it's pretty much me going 3-20 every match. Gun fights are unwinnable.

Half the time I'm shooting at someone the hits aren't registering and if they do, I still will likely be killed first(this is even when I'm crouching around a corner proned and waiting for someone to run into my sights). 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? Then play this. Expand

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

    Great game. Hater 1: "Oh BuT iTs NoT InNoVaTiVe" Hater 2: "ItS a CoPy Of ThE OrIgInAl"
    First of all, if its fun, who gives a damn about innovation. Its entertainment, not a van gogh painting. doesnt have to be art. Second, the original was released over a decade ago. most of the players buying the newer Cod's are not the people who got the first game. Its a new thing to about 95% of

Also, most of the unfavorable reviews are just idiots who cant accept that we live in a capitalist world. Things are done to support the bottom line. If you want to rant about companies taking your money, go to battlefront 2. Now for the review. Campaign was awesome, Multiplayer was nice, and despite what others are saying about sniping, it can be done, it just requires skill lmao. shotguns actually work in this game, and aren't just filler weapons. Their range is perfect. I just wish that enemy health bars are displayed, like in infinite warfare. People complain about how the guns are just reskins, but what the hell were you expecting? You cant just make fictional weapons and call it WW2. TL;DR: Stop hating on this game, its great. MAKE MORE OF THESE GAMES SLEDGEHAMMER!

    Why the press is giving 85 to this crap? You irresponsible liars! You're lying to the poor people to buy this garbage. Once again we have the cruel politics who want to take all your money. All this practices are going to end the console industry. Did you see the boxes falling from the sky?

    I found Call of Duty WWII to be a refreshing jump back into the glory days of the series, it's been 7. Years since I last called a CoD title, so many of the issues other people complained about did not effect me.

    instead of being the trendsetter, Activision has forced CoD to just borrow what it liked from other shooters. it's mostly battlefield and rainbow six siege. frustratingly long load times also hinder enjoyment. the hub world is wholly unnecessary and is mostly just used for the loot box thing, (where other players can see what you get in the loot boxes). good visuals don't make up forinstead of being the trendsetter, Activision has forced CoD to just borrow what it liked from other shooters. it's mostly battlefield and rainbow six siege. frustratingly long load times also hinder enjoyment. the hub world is wholly unnecessary and is mostly just used for the loot box thing, (where other players can see what you get in the loot boxes). good visuals don't make up for badly… Expand Expand

    "BOOTS ON THE GROUND" what a load of nonsense. This is another copy and paste CoD game. Campaign is absolutely awful. Zombies is decent but 1 map is not worth it. MP is lacking and the EXACT SAME for years now.

    Sledgehammer and Activision should be utterly embarrassed and ashamed. Broken, unfinished, poorly designed, only 9 maps and theyre all some of the worst in Cod history.

    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]
