    One of the best COD's since 2009, very good graphics, shooting feels fun, solid single player campaign. Miles better than Halo Infinite and Battlefail2021.

    I enjoyed the campaign, was fun. Content is okay, but the UI is horrible, confusing weapons, day 1 release looks like a beta, I'm using weapons i hate just to unlock stuff, u don't know what you unlocked, filled with bugs, losing interest, adaptive triggers are less intense than Cold War, just garbage day 1 release.

    The perk system really needs to be overhauled! Give us back 3 perks which we can choose ourself and maybe add a improvement system for this perks. What I have seen is that this is a major problem. In a lot of matches there where just teammates which shot on every UAV to avoid this camping behavior some people have which is due to the minimap/perk system/footsteps audio. Why change a running system which worked for years?    … Expand

    Doesn't compare with mw 2019 at all , worst system to unlock new weapons , the maps are one of worst I played on. Then you get **** from every camping sniper kid "thinking that he is good at shooting".

    Sniper rifles outclassing SMG’s at 5 feet. Bunny hoppers and Jacques Cousteau wannabes diving all over the place. Terrible maps. Horrendous UI. whose bright idea was it to force you to use other types of weapons to unlock the class of weapon you like to use? Waste of $70.

    Inferior to MW2019 in every single way.
    Starting from the awful, nonsensical and boring campaign which doesn't even comes close to the original masterpiece that was MW2 or even MW2019 which was incredibly good.
    Except for maybe two or three misions, the rest are forgetable. There's nothing memorable in it, except for the final mission which is unbelievably bad. Also adding cratting in    Inferior to MW2019 in every single way.

    Except for maybe two or three misions, the rest are forgetable. There's nothing memorable in it, except for the final mission which is unbelievably bad.
    Also adding cratting in this game, it's a big NO for me.

    The multiplayer is absolute garbage, the maps are awful, awful all of them, not a single decent map and there's something off about them. They're all generic, with a pretty bad flow and most of them uninspiring. And that's my main issue, the maps are so bad this game cannot be saved unless they start from scratch. MW2019 had only 2 maps that were a bit a bad, but here every map is downright awful. Feels like i'm in some kid's playgrouns instead of actual combat zones or warfare maps.
    Also, the MP looks visually worse than MW2019, why is that? Everything looks downgraded, more cartoony and too colorful for my taste. The textures, the foliage, everything has been pretty much downgraded for no reason.
    The gameplay mechanics have changed for the worse, now everyone bunny-hops or just camps at the corner of the map. The movements have changed as well, it's clunkier.
    The guns feel different, and the recoil has been exaggerated here. Also, why did they replace their real names? Visually they look like plastic, that's another downgrade.
    Also, violence has been reduced, there's less gore and dismemberment is no longer there. What were they thinking?
    The UI is horrendous, problematic and hard to navigate. Same goes for the gunsmith and the weapon unlock, awful.
    The MP feels like it was developed by Treyarch Games and it feels absolutely bad, they make mediocre games and i absolutely avoid them. What's more it plays and feels like a mobile game instead of a PC and console game like the previous MW.
    SBMM has been cranked up to the max and there's no chill in this game anymore.
    The operator design are something straight out of a comic book and they're all horrible.
    Also, they added bots, another big NO.
    Coop missions are pretty simple and boring, nothing even close to the masterpiece of MW2019 coop missions.
    Ground War and Invasion are OK, but gets old real quick. Especially if there are bots in the match.

    I tried to like the game, but i just can't. The maps are too bad for me to handle, at this point i'll be going back to MW2019 real soon. There's no point in playing something i don't enjoy.
    That's it, i always trusted IW over any other developer that made COD, but they dropped the ball. I think i'm done for good with this franchise. This is just a sad end.

    We're probably talking about one of the worst Call Of Duty game ever created. I cannot believe i waited three years for this garbage.
    The only reason i'm giving this a two is because the gun sounds are even better than before, but that's all that there is too it.    … Expand

    Another disappointment just like the last few years. I don't know what's going on with Activision, but this dump has been churning out garbage CoD's for YEARS and never once listens to their damn fans.

    I don't mean to be insulting, but I'm just frustrated with this entire franchise anymore. Once again a CoD, which steals my very last nerve because you have to sweat for your honor in    Another disappointment just like the last few years. I don't know what's going on with Activision, but this dump has been churning out garbage CoD's for YEARS and never once listens to their damn fans.

    I don't mean to be insulting, but I'm just frustrated with this entire franchise anymore. Once again a CoD, which steals my very last nerve because you have to sweat for your honor in multiplayer.

    - SBMM (Skill Based Matchmaking) is once again extremely strong and you get into lobbies with only "equally strong" players. This makes virtually every match feel almost the same because SBMM rarely gets you into a round where you can really go off. This takes away from the fun factor and also has nothing to do with CoD for a long time.
    This game is NOT a competitive online game like Valorant and co., yet Activision tries to turn CoD into one. As an excuse for it, you don't want to "scare off" the newbies directly by good players, hence the SBMM, so that you just can't get into a round with exactly such noobs. Rarely heard such a nonsense.

    - What I find almost worse than SBMM is the ungodly short TTK, so Time-To-Kill. It doesn't take half a second until you or your opponent is down. You have no chance to react if you get shot from somewhere, because you are instantly dead. No normal human has such a good reaction time to be able to react to something like that. The TTK is total **** and I really want to know what the developers were thinking.

    - Because of this extremely modest TTK, aggressive playing (e.g. my playing style) is punished all the more harshly. You have almost no chance to react in time to an opponent when you run/move. At the same time, it encourages campers and almost the entire lobby just starts waiting somewhere instead of moving through the damn map. Please, what kind of **** is this?

    - This spasmodic realism since MW2019 gets on my nerves as well. The extreme realism was upped another notch in MW2 compared to its predecessor - and by god, realism and CoD are things that do NOT **** go together. Take a look at the essays: There are heaps of them, especially for the sights. Plus ultra detailed descriptions instead of simple ads about the pros and cons of the different attachments. Who on earth takes the time to read through all that and then select the appropriate attachments?

    - I don't have to say much about the maps. You just notice that they were once again designed only for campers and worse players, because you can headglitch and camp almost everywhere, so that the noobs can get some kills. This simple "three-way-system" doesn't exist anymore, instead the maps are extremely twisted and complicated, windows and doors everywhere and so on. What a disaster.

    Other points that upset me (and probably many others):

    - Where is the map voting please? NO ONE wants to play on the map with all the cars.
    - Why the hell don't you stay in the lobby after the round?
    - Why is it now so easy to get a gold camouflage for example? So that the noobs can also get a gold camouflage or what?
    - Where can you see your stats (KDA, Wins, etc.)? Did Activision remove this so that the noobs don't see how bad they are?
    - Why are there so many bugs that didn't even exist in the beta? Why the hell are you releasing an unfinished game?!
    - Who came up with these names for the weapons, please? "Lachmann", seriously?
    - Why are there hackers in this game NOW? Is your anti-cheat system really that garbage?
    - Which one of you programmed the spawn system? This is an impudence.
    - Why did you weaken the movement so much? Oh yes, so that the noobs are still protected.
    - The menu and the entire interface is an imposition.
    - The visibility in this CoD is just bad, you can't see anything.
    - Why is dead silence still not available as a perk?
    - Speaking of perks, the new perk system was a pretty modest idea.

    I think I've been upset enough up to this point. The only good thing about this game is the campaign, which is unfortunately very short. I can safely advise you against the multiplayer. Do yourself a favor and invest the 80-90€ somewhere else. As long as you support Activision with your money, nothing at all will change in Call of Duty and they will continue to enforce their damn ideology, just to "protect" some family men in their mid-40s, who rarely had a controller in their hands.

    - The gunplay and gun selection is decent.

    Cons: Literally everything else.

    - It's a buggy mess that crashes constantly.

    - The UI is atrocious. It's impossible to find anything in the menus. You can't even check your win/loss or K/D. Sometimes the menus just outright break and you need to restart the game to fix them. The social tab doesn't update sometimes so you can't report or block players because they don't appear in the post game. The list goes on with how garbage the it is. The in-game UI is mostly okay except for the stupid compass. What a useless piece of garbage and just poor game design.

    - Matchmaking is barely functional. It sometimes just outright breaks if you are in a party, and need to break the party to fix it. Cross-play is absolute garbage. No option to not play with console kiddies. To try and "balance" (and I mean completely break the game) the devs thought cranking up Aim Assist for console players was the appropriate option. No clue why considering the Aim Assist is no better than soft aim bots, where console players literally don't have to aim. The game does it for them.

    - The customization. Look, I get it customization is nice and all but this is too much. The progression system for weapons and attachments is completely unintuitive and frankly just stupid. It's overly complicated for no good reason. Why are you forcing people to use completely unrelated guns to unlock a different gun. It just makes no sense.

    - The multiplayer maps are awful. They are pretty to look at, but that's it. They are not well designed and the real deal breaker is the horrific spawns. I cannot count the number of times I've spawned facing an enemy or spawned with any enemy facing me (or vice versa). That's just poor game design. No one should spawn into the game with someone already shooting them from behind. Another thing that clearly no one had enough of a brain at Activision-Blizzard to consider.

    - The price. $70 is a steep ask for a game that is quite frankly barely functional. It's embarrassing. There's such a lack of polish on everything but VA and graphics (and there are still graphical bugs pretty consistently). I know Activision Blizzard doesn't believe in paying for QA, but maybe next time they should invest a little money it in, because they served us up a steaming pile of garbage that should have been delayed based on how it plays right now.    … Expand

    - Game keeps crashing and freezing, even on High-End Rigs
    - Made the players feel paralyzed by completely nerfing the movement
    - Campers in every single corner of the map
    - Completely reworked dead silence - no one even uses it anymore
    - Hearing footsteps from across the map

    I can say that I'm still sticking with Cold War at this point and hope the next release will be worth buying..    … Expand

    There seem to be around 6 maps in total. SBMM is a disaster with one sided matches abounding, it's simply not fun. It looks nice but it's a big step backward. Mw2 in 2009 was light years ahead of this in terms of playability and sheer enjoyability. Don't waste your money on this uninspired shakedown.    … Expand

    The gameplay in this game is completely awful and slow. Absolutely garbage, hope IW isn't making any COD again, at least for a few years. They don’t GIVE A **** about the feedback so that makes the game even more horrible. After 9 months playing this piece of **** I can say this game EASILY is the WORST cod ever made.

    Another failed COD, even worse than MW2019 (which was also a failed COD). I didn't think they could get any worse, but they just keep recycling old garabge with a new battle pass to sell.

    I remember the first COD I played was Black OPS 2.
    That was a great game in many ways in its time.
    This however is a rushed version that has nothing much to offer for players who wants to play local or offline. You are being pushed/forced to play online to make it worth while. The interface is horrible too and it feels like every time I log in, the battle pass gets shoved into my face.    I remember the first COD I played was Black OPS 2.

    Game is still plagued with bugs that were in beta. UI design is criminal. Lack of content, support and bug fixes while the free warzone client explodes with content updates and support. I returned to COD after a decade on a whim and it's exactly what I thought it would be. I do not recommend spending a single dollar on anything COD, because you are not valued as a paying customer at all.

    The spawning points are horrible, the upgrade system is even worse. Why do I have to use weapons that I don't want to in order to unlock equipment and weapons I do want to? Anyway. There's no way I would have bought this game. It just came free with one of my friends ps5 purchases bundle. The gunplay is good. Just a lot of bad decisions to go along with it.

Shoot first die first still a thing, go from running at least I say two good games before you're put into a lobby of sweats and or campers. Damage is inconsistent as hell. Go from one hard-core game where you kill them in a shot or two to the next game where you get hitmarkers out the ass and takes two to three shots to the head to kill them in hard-core. Respawning is ridiculously broken. Can't count how many times I've spawned in front of enemy fire. The lag is like Cod trademark. No matter how good of a connection I have the servers are crap. That Crossing bridge map is literally the worst Cod map ever made. Just on a bridge full of empty cars that constantly explode on you and an ally on the side is the best they could do? What about the other maps that were on the old mw2? Map voting? The game has crashed on me several times while in a lobby or while playing. This game is not close to being worth $70. Huge ripoff.

For a AAA title such as Call of Duty I would expect there to be no issues with basic things such as the menus. The weapon platform menu is unusable, filled with place holder images, while the navigation doesn’t work. If I’m trying to see when I unlock something you can’t open the menu and scroll around freely to what your looking for. If your looking at the final weapon, you can’t even scroll to the end to see all of the attachments. The ideas behind most of the new features and quality of life changes are good in theory but you have to execute. And who ever programmed these menus and who ever okayed them for the final build should be fired. I love the idea behind attachments unlocking across a weapon category vs each individual weapon. But why do I have to wait to unlock an attachment in a given slot for a weapon when I have already unlocked attachments for that weapon from a previous weapon. Some of the weapons don’t have you unlocking various attachments until half way through the weapons progression. Why do I have to wait until level 7 to unlock a sniper rifles scope attachment? And then when you do the 10 or so other ones you have unlocked are there too. This feature was advertised as unlock for one unlock for all that use it all to decrease the monotonous slow grind. But you still have to grind. And then finally the sheer lack of guidance/menus for calling cards, awards, weapon attachments, and camos. A feature that is and has been present in these games since the original Modern Warfare. Missing unlock information for various weapon attachments, or the game saying that you have unlocked something but then that item showing up still locked and unusable. Like I said the game is amazing and I can’t put it down but with the fact that most of my issues are things that should have never made it past initial testing and quality control.

This felt the same but different and I see the main thing the positive reviews mentioned was it feeling the same or nostalgic…why is that a good thing? It’s next gen by a huge studio that now seems committed to mediocre… don’t waste your money.… Expand

    This review is based solely on the multiplayer.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but this MW2 multiplayer only launched with 8 core-only multiplayer-focused maps (ones that aren't used for bigger game modes) that are frankly... boring, monotonous, and/or uninspired. It's hard to say that any of them are instant classics. Gunfights are just tedious and the spawn points ensure that    This review is based solely on the multiplayer.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but this MW2 multiplayer only launched with 8 core-only multiplayer-focused maps (ones that aren't used for bigger game modes) that are frankly... boring, monotonous, and/or uninspired. It's hard to say that any of them are instant classics. Gunfights are just tedious and the spawn points ensure that another player will quickly interrupt any fun you might actually get into.

    Take the map "Embassy", for example ( https://callofdutymaps.com/modern-warfare-ii/embassy/ ). The tennis court in the NW corner is nothing more than a huge chunk of empty space that nobody will ever use. There are roofs and balconies and a helipad that could add fun and variety to the matches, but the players can't access them.

    2009's MW2 on the other hand launched with 16 (SIXTEEN!) core & HARDCORE multiplayer maps including a few classics like Favela, Highrise, Rust, Scrapyard, Terminal, Afghan, Quarry, and Karachi.

    So instead of including a great variety in maps at launch or remaking some old classics, Activision decides to introduce different game modes instead, including modes with jarhead AI running around.

    Leveling up guns has never felt like more of a mindless chore and the UI design is really confusing.

    This might just be the most boring CoD game launch ever. Multiplayer is just another rushed $70-100 game obviously designed just to level up weapons for use in the upcoming Warzone 2.    … Expand

    It’s just basically what you expect from the same old thing, another bland NEW Call Of Duty game every year. When is this franchise going to take a break?

    The campaign lacks any sense of soul. Probably a time if you are a Proud Boy.

    This is an embarrassment of a game. I hate the fact that Activision was horrible enough to not include ANYTHING on the disc!! This needs to stop and be called out because it's a total disrespect to the consumer and the medium of video games. I want to own, NOT RENT!!!!

    The Xbox fans say it's amazing so that only means one thing.
    They said Bleeding Edge and Halo Infinite was amazing too.

    I feel like this game is promoting the campers too much.
    I dont enjoy it no more, these development teams lay focus on profit for making new people to play this game. But the time was never better for the best call of duty to come out. Sbmm, camping, pre-aim, Headglich etc. I will never buy bo COD again, sad.

    I cannot think a way that this game has surpassed 2009’s MW2. Does not live to the hype, dull campaign with low variety of locations and multiplayer feels like a step back in numerous ways. Perks are a mess, weapons dele underpowered, recoil is through the roof.. even the weapons names.. feels like a CoD knock-off.

    The Call of Duty series peaked in 2009-2011, and it has been downhill since. 2019’s has been the best CoD since then and is still the best to play right now.    … Expand

    Let's be honest, there's really no bigger title to compete in the FPS genre at the moment, both in terms of the sometimes mediocre content and this year's very polished graphics. [Issue#324]

    A somewhat droll campaign will greet players of Modern Warfare II. It's a short bombastic romp with some fun gunplay moments and fantastic graphics. The multiplayer, however, is a miss as it is no longer a properly combined entity and the lack of replayability is disappointing. A recommendation for CoD fans but for anyone even slightly on the fence perhaps keep shopping or waiting for a sale.

    CoD MW 2 is a refreshing single-player experience, providing players with some of the best action-packed moments and great characters, but riddled with multiplayer balancing issues and extreme performance and technical problems. It still is CoD and is fun for anyone who finds its casual shooting gameplay compelling, but it plays safely and doesn’t present itself as something revolutionary for the franchise.
