    After playing the beta, I couldn't wait for this gem to get released so I pre-ordered it.
    Oh boy was I wrong.. The game was released unfinished with tons of bugs and glitches.

    Crashes make the game almost unplayable. The few unlucky ones that manage to join a match will leave shortly after just because it's filled with campers.. I have never seen this many people just sitting in a corner and waiting the whole match just to end the game with 5 kills.. They have completely changed the way Call of Duty feels and made it easier for casual and slow players to be good just by getting moldy one place..

    In summary, here are the pros and cons:

    + Great sound design
    + Solid Campaign

    - 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

    I deeply regret buying this game. It constantly glitches, necessitating a restart, it randomly mutes party members and today it took fully 20 mins to find a game.

Some of the maps are so basic it's hard to believe they were designed in thi last 2 decades. The UI is a nightmare to navigate. It's just an absolute mess.
    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

    So no one like how Infinity Ward has done the Perks and turned some Perks into "field upgrades" I'm sorry but it's was a bad idea.
    With that the multiplayer is almost unplayable.
    No joke I gave it a month and when I was sick of it I deleted it.

    It is the most intense and realistic multiplayer game I have ever seen. The clothing, equipment and glitter effects are insane. Activision keeps the promise that it is the most realistic game in Call of Duty history. Sarcasm off! STOP IT!

And the wait time for a match in warzone 2 is wayyyyy to long even gta 5 ps3 loading screen is faster than a game to start on a whole next gen console. The Kampagne was perfect really but it’s not a multiplayer game. It’s really sad how they downgrade year to year and even the ratings says it every year but they don’t care cause they just think they rich and can do what they want.… Expand

    fixing the things that not need to be fixed like the perk system and by fixing i mean f*cking up in fact, and in the same time leaving the same issue that the community been facing since mw 2019 like SBMM and loud footsteps and other stupid things

The map layouts are messy and poorly layed out leaving you running into a sniper spot that overlooks 50-90%of the map completely cutting out any level of competitiveness, and speaking of, SBMM has completely erased the variety of matches, leaving you in a loop of getting steam rolled until your average KD lowers to the point to where you have a decent Mach then right back to the sweat box for what seems like a solid 72 hours. If you fee you might want this, just wait another 6months when the game maybe might work a little better and maybe just maybe activision decides to actually balance their $70 dollar “TRIPPLE A” title… Expand

    I cannot recommend this. The maps are so cluttered, and shipment has severe spawning issues. The sweats and people in the online are unbearable. Just people that make politics their whole personality. Or they want to harass minorities. I emailed Activision about some highly offensive user names, and no reply yet. This game is still the same cookie cutter embarrassment it has always been.

    A downgrade on MW2019. No gunfight, worse perks, less guns (unless you count 20 variations of the same thing), ruined ground war, no night maps, weird campaign and lies about a 2 year cycle when guaranteed they're going to release a $70 add-on next October because charging $20 for a skin isn't greedy enough for these parasites.

    You support this and you get what you deserve.

The kill streaks are fun to use and the maps where some what creative but no as much. And spec ops isn't as bad like MW 2019 in fact better. I just want the game not to focus that much on Warzone 2.0, which that's where they are focusing more than the multiplayer and I think nobody really cares about it.… Expand

    Modern warfare 2 has a really bad multiplayer experience which punishes you for trying to be aggressive. Grinding the battle pass takes too long with you only being able to gain 1 token in an hour which makes grinding the battle pass feel like a part time job. The best way to play this game is by camping otherwise you'll be dying every second by people who camp.

    Poor map design, poor connectivity, poor tick rate, poor UI, poor in every sense of the word.

    Its a shame because their attempts to create large scale maps prove they have little in the way of awareness when it comes to map creation. The large scale maps (64 players) have a very consistent loss rate on one side of the map. Quite telling that they have nearly no awareness and likely are    Poor map design, poor connectivity, poor tick rate, poor UI, poor in every sense of the word.

    One benefit is youll never have a shortage of things to buy, even when youre lagging on your way into the laughable servers with your new 20$ skins and rose-colored glasses.

    Theyve accrued billions in assets and choose to neglect even the most basic of necessities for an online multi-player shooter.

    Stop giving these vultures your dollars and time, and perhaps maybe we'll see an overall uptick in the qualitative nature of the game, as opposes to the quantitative dollar counting they appear to be more content in doing.    … Expand

    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.
