    The unlock system is a complete desaster. You have to play a bunch of random guns you don't like to unlock everything for a weapon you actually want to use. And now with season 1 one of the guns they added is only unlockable by playing a warzone mode you have to install separately. **** ****

    MP is completely ruined by EOMM which is designed to just make you feel miserable most of the time. Netcode is absolutely atrocious. There's always severe desync between clients.

    The UI is still horrible to use and has too many glitches to count.

    In a match whole swathes of level geometry just vanish for seconds at a time. Sometimes you can't use killstreaks anymore starting in the middle of a match.

    IW has done almost nothing to fix all those issues, it's gonna take a year until it's playable from a pure technical standpoint.

    TLDR: Horrible hitreg, netcode delay, flashbang, short TTK, long ADS time, long sprint out, riot shields, cluster mines, ledge hangs, bugged damage, bugged aim assist, awful unlock system, new weapons locked in different games, **** bugged UI. This game is just a complete dumpster fire.    … Expand

I never understood when they thought it was a good idea to make cod games more realistic, as that has never been their selling point. It has always been an arcade shooter, meant to be user-friendly, but is quite literally the opposite. People complained ghost was too powerful, how do they nerf it? make a horribly designed system that allows you to get your "ultimate" perk pretty much halfway through the match. They had a system that worked before, it was called pick ten. If a perk was good, it would take up two slots, sometimes three meaning, you'd have fewer options to choose from i.e maybe you couldn't care about a lethal or a tactical. there are hundreds of different attatchments to choose from. of those hundreds, 95% of utterly usless. Also, why should I unlock an smg, to get an attacthment for an ar? there is no correlation between those weapons. I could understand battle rifles and ar's, marksman rifles and snipers sure, but that is stupid. Not to mention to unlock certain attatchments you also need to level a pistol. Makes 0 sense. Not. One. Good. Map. Not to mention only 9 on release, now there's 11 yay, oh wait their old maps that have already been in the game and somehow, they made them worse due to how **** their spawn system works. The sun on some maps, is blinding to the point you can't see three feet in front of you. Let me not get started on all the bugs that happen, the crashing that is still occuring from time to time, random lag spikes, and frame drops. How does a multimillion dollar game company screw up time and time again? Epic games with fortnite was able to come out of pretty much no where, and make the most popular game for almost 5 years straight. The devs do not listen to the community, it is evident. If they did, the games would be fun to play. only reason this gets a 4/10 is because the campaign was fantastic. That is it though. No other redeeming quality about this game.… Expand

This game was made to flip a quick profit and thats it. Bugs, fishy mechanics, and no feedback from the developers if they are gonna fix anything. And a really bad version of rocket league? Really??? REALLY???? Games crash for sure... And bugs appear for sure, but this is just a reskin of a beaten up cash cow. Disappointed as can be .. And oh yea...

    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.

    Graphics and the campaign are the only positives here. Multi player is unbalanced. Spawning is better than in 2019 but, it not saying much.

    Greedy Activision... I bought the LA Skin because it looked nice... Now it's been nerfed and it looks like a clown costume. I feel cheated of my money. To date they haven't managed to fix the quest bar for the daylies or the number of tokens for the season pass. You can nerf a skin in one day. Shame on you!

    Horrible. Never said this about a COD game before but here we are. Can't even progress through the campaign because of a glitch. And the offline multiplayer (I'm an offline gamer) is the worst. THE worst. You cannot even customize loadouts. There are a few loadouts you can choose from and thats it. For online? Of course you can already buy lots of skins. Don't buy the game.

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

    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.
