    Same **** with a ww2 skin, gun-play doesn't feel any different from other games and they didn't even try to make this game historically accurate.

The other 20% is actually playing the game. The game itself, when I can actually play it, isn't bad. I haven't touched the campaign because, like I mentioned before, I only bought this to play online multiplayer with my loved ones. I'm willing to change my review score if Sledgehammer can patch things up so I can actually play the game that I bought. I only ask that I can go 10 minutes without an error popping up. An error literally just showed up as I was typing this review. I'm not even joking. Kill me Expand

    This game is horrible. Literally the only redeeming quality is parts of the campaign but even then it is one of the shortest campaigns in CoD history and still does nothing compared to CoD4/MW2/WaW/BO1/BO2.

    The MP... good lord is it horrible... guns lack any authenticity and are completely reskins (Tommy gun is literally the ASM-1 of AW). Returning the moment I leave work.

    "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.

    What a huge waste of money. Should be called Connection Off Duty. Multiplayer is entirely dependent on who has the minutely better connection. Maps are TINY and 6v6 boring roflstomps. Does nothing great for the franchise except Zombies. Hope I can get 30 bucks for this **** on aftermarket.

    What a terrible game. What a sad return to WW2. I actually enjoy the campaigns of COD games - this is the first that i just find totally unplayable. Bad characters, the worst quick-time-events i've ever seen, arcade-style shooting and the most boring story.

    By far, the worst call of duty ive ever played. Just terrible in all aspects. I was actually kind of excited about this game but it was such a huge dissapointment. The zombies is okay. If i were to rate the zombie game mode by itself id give it a 6.5. But the multiplayer is honestly terrible.

    Why is everyone so pissed about the 85 rating from the critics. I don't feel bad for the kids that fall for it and play this like it's the best thing ever.

This game is SO poor: graphics are nowhere as it should be on today's consoles, animations are the same as 10 years ago, explosives are poorly done and the indestructible and hidden borders of the environment is something retarded.

    That's because of the old engine from the beginning of the franchise. They just 'modified' it but the basics remain the same. The download package is 70GB (!!!!), all of which is bloatware. We're not talking about ultra HD graphics are heavy renedering for next gen consoles.

    The gameplay in multiplayer is very arcade, very fast and it's like I'm playing against and with bots. They all move so jerky. Shooting mechanics are poorly done, it doesn't feel right, it's all too fast. After a MP round, it takes ages and ages before a new game starts and you have to stare five minutes at the scoreboard without any possiblity to go to another screen.

    What's great? The unlockables, the perks and kill cams are still great and something to play for. But the gaming experience is so so so poor and it's painful to see how the gaming press keep giving it high scores. Perhaps it's because of the Campaign Mode, which I'm not interested in.

    But the whole game experience and above all, the game mechanics are retarded and outdated. This is a game for PS3, not for current gen consoles. Once again, you should be ashamed Activision to support publishing a cheap rip off of this franchise. IW or Sledgehammer MUST create a new engine for this game.

    This is like like playing FIFA 07 on a PS4 in 2017.

    Sorry for my english. How do dear critics of various gaming editions put this game 9-10 points? Are you crazy? "Apparently, they got a good salary from the creators of the game." There is nothing interesting in this game! The BLACK OPS series is 10 points! Missing confidence in the ratings of critics! Only users' opinions can be trusted!

I never have wrote a review on here, but this game pushed all the wrong buttons with me.Seriously, how is World at War STILL a superior game in this day and age. OH YEA, because it wasnt afraid to make you feel uncomfortable, it wasnt afraid to make you uneasy. That game still gives me chills, so dark and so gruesome. Thats the image of war that haunts me. one day this pandering needs to stop.

    The standard issue calling cards DO NOT include flags of nations that actualy faught in the war, instead we have to swallow the image of these LGBT my little furrie flags flying over Normandy. GOD ALMIGHTY, stop with this political **** you are literally killing yourselves with this stuff sledge...
    If i could go back in time only once, I would stop sledgehammer games from ever being part of the call of duty cycle.

    im giving this game 2 points because zombies is actually good, and might only play that.

I have owned systems and played games that some may have never seen or even heard of. Games have been a major part of my life since I was a child throwing tantrums over Thrillas Surf and Safari. I have played many COD titles and always at least tried to remain a loyalist. It wasn't until the N64 era that I really dug into the FPS genre with classic titles like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. Call of Duty launched (many years later), and wow what a fantastic beginning to a franchise! Epic multiplayer and short yet powerful campaigns. It almost seemed like it would never stop either, every year a new COD would launch and it was a must have! Suddenly it seemed like it started to falter. It went from a perspective I understood to double jumping and running along the walls; flying through the air with jet packs.. Needless to say I wasn't much of a fan and only bought the new franchise titles when they were on sale or at a killer discount. Even then... After playing Ghosts, I realized the franchise had completely fallen into disarray and I converted my attention more into the battlefield franchise. I played Infinite Warfare with a friend and almost couldn't physically do it. Another COD failure. I should have known better. Then alas! A "boots on the ground" Call of Duty! Could this be a rebirth of a once great franchise!? Could this be another great title; reminiscent of the original Black Ops 1?? How exciting! I had to go out and get it on launch day! Nov 3rd! I had high hopes and hadn't bought a COD title in years. I dove right into multiplayer and tested every available weapon I could. It had a renewed feeling and I was excited. For 20 minutes. Then the endorphins settled and I took note to aspects of the game that became more evident. Like why do I keep playing the same 2 or 3 maps over and over? why is everyone running around with SMGs? Why is every map so small and contained? I quickly started to feel like I spent 59.99 for a few hours of enjoyment, and that afterwards, this game would sit on the shelf with the dozen or so other titles I have that rarely played in the last 6 months or so, and as I sit here typing, that is where CODWW2 sits. In the case, on my shelf, next to The Wolf Among Us. I anticipate that is where it will stay, while Battlefield 1 sits pretty in my Playstation. Mark my words, this WILL be the last COD game that I purchase, and I implore you to not make the same mistake that I did. Now I sit, eagerly awaiting the next Battlefield installment, but even if that takes years, Battlefield 1 will still satisfy me more than CODWW2 ever could. Expand

    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.

It hardly takes any sort of means to actually come up with a strategy anymore because all you have to do is run and gun then hopefully you get that OP gun that the Zombie mode gives you FOR FREE!!!

    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.
