    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. I feel bad for the parents that didn't block their kid's accounts from spending, because you know those idiots are buying loot boxes galore.

    Honestly, I was extremely disappointed with this game. I played through the campaign in a short afternoon, and was surprised at how truncated it felt. A lot of cutscenes and not a lot of game play... trying too hard to shove the story of "brotherhood" down your throat. The squad system feels tacked on, and the campaign brought nothing new to the franchise.

    I'm a huge fan of the CoD

I gave up playing that mid year, although the DLC was really good I must say, they were redeeming themselves a bit. All this ****ing about microtransactions, yet it's exactly like Modern Warfare Remastered, everything can be unlocked through grinding...plus CoD points aren't even available to buy yet you lying butthurt virgins. Hating a game because it has been something it always has been is like hating God Of War because it has QTE. Just don't buy it and play it if you're no good at it instead of trolling Metacritic with your pimply arsed, Lil' Jimmy noob reviews. Game is what the hardcore fans wanted...BOOTS ON THE GROUND and not this bunny hopping, zero quick scoping catastrophe that has become of it lately. This is just straight up fun, nice maps to flank on, awesome zombies mode and refreshing campaign. Haters are gonna hate, players are gonna play...what do you want to be? Expand

    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.
    En conclusión, este juego mejora algunos aspectos del juego del año anterior, pero la forma tan descarada en que Activision gana dinero de sus usuarios en este juego no me deja ponerle una mejor nota que "3".

So far for me it is purely twitch gameplay which means you can't play smart. For most of the COD multiplayers I'm a 2.0 KD player. I like to outsmart people, not just out reflex them. Sniping is a joke, no point when a AR can pick you off across map. Shotguns are way to powerful (probably will be nerfed). Overall the movement and aiming feel floaty, like AW. I'll keep playing for now but I'll probably be going back to MW remastered soon. Please Please make a Modern Warfare 2 remaster!

It's not the games fault, you have just grown out of the series. When you start a new job, you may love it at first, but as the year's progress you will find complaints and issues with it even though its the same old job from before.

    There is a Destiny style social space that makes no sense. There's no benefit to having this feature apart from showing off to everyone what you get from loot boxes. This allows Activision to bank on other players jealousy and sell even more loot boxes.

    The historical inaccuracies are really insulting too. Red dot sights and hollow sights did not exist during WW2, soldiers weren't allowed to wear colorful uniforms yet this game allows you to buy weird skins that do fit warfare or even the time period, AND WHY ARE THERE BLACK NAZIS? This is insulting to black people. Nazis were openly racist and I wouldn't want to dress up as someone who committed major atrocities against my race.

    Swastikas are censored BTW. And you can play as female soldiers just as easily as male ones. SJWs have hit the gaming industry really hard.

    Not gonna talk about zombies cause I'm tired of shooting zombies. ENOUGH ZOMBIES.

    Campaign has a very good story and characters are interesting, but its too short. 6 hours is too little and this game was clearly developed multiplayer first with single-player as an afterthought. I won't be surprised when the day comes that CoD ships without a single player campaign.

    DONT BUY THIS. LETS CHANGE THE INDUSTRY WE LOVE. VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET.

    1. I expected a much better visual experience when playing online. Graphics feel like they were pulled from a COD 4 -5 years ago. 2.

    I give this a 5/10 only because I am a long fan of Call of Duty and I will always love the series. Despite the poor execution, it still offers that appeal in a WW2 game... Especially now that they have added 'WAR', a mode perfected by Battlefield and one I have always wish to see in COD. There are some things that need to get fixed and I'm sure they will over the next couple days but in my eyes, it's failed on launch unlike the past releases.

    I'm a huge sucker for WW2 games but I have to say.. I miss the jumping, fast-paced gameplay COD evolved into.. and at this current moment, I can say I enjoyed IW way more that WWII.

    The zombies are darker, realer, creepier. Much better than the corny ones of the past.
    Multiplayer/pvp..... hmmm. I wanted to like it , but it’s definitely just another year of twitch shooting reskinned for the time frame. There are a few new things added, which are welcome additions. The new social hub , headquarters, is just like destinys “tower”,...which is a welcome addition to me. I like that they added the shooting range. War is an attempt at adding something new and fresh, but honestly I’d rather go play some Battlefield 1 for that fix. Battlefields pvp is in a league of its own, compared to this. I had a match last night where I was watching a replay of a final kill cam that showed some nonsensical quick scoping for kills that weren’t even CLOSE to being a hit. I tried to upload the capture to YouTube from my PS4 , but it keeps giving me errors and not letting me upload it. Good for Activision that I can’t get this footage out. They’d be embarrassed , lol.
    All in all, I really enjoy the campaign and zombies , but for my pvp fix there are newer , fresher things to play right now.

    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 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.

The multiplayer seems to be different for those who are used to jetpacks yatta yatta. We are heading back to WW2 and it feels nice for a change. I topped the leadboard on my first match with flame shotgun bullets. It was satisfying for sure. Although there is something that I do not like about this game, and it is the fact that they tried so hard to make this a game that would be played for hours on end, with amazing detail and what not. Unfortunately this game is not amazing and lacks a lot of graphical improvements and the optimization is just crap. 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. This Call of Duty, is by far an improvement for sure in some areas, but overall just isn't a game that I am interested diving more into. It was unfortunate because this was one of my anticipated game of this year, and it did not deliver to the hopes I thought it would bring. 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]
