    Это смешно, я просто не могу поверить что это игра настолько плохая. Она выглядит хуже чем бесплатная "enlisted". А спауны в метре от тебя, за спиной, это ужасно

    Wow, this is bad. The single player campaign is a movie riddled with small moments you can play that are a copy of previous COD games. The graphics looks like it was made 5 years ago. The MP may be the worst in COD history.

    Полная хрень. Сюжет - отстойное говно. Покупать не советую.

    Complete crap. The plot is crap. I do not recommend buying.

    Worst COD ever. Uninspired, boring maps (the best part, from World at War) Lack of design. Awful gun balance. Very poor, faded graphics. Problems with hitboxes. Laggy server connection. Buggy respawn system... Lot of bugs and lack of details. Feel like deceived and disappointed. It's a fault. It's a big fault, Activision
    Almost unplayable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the most garbage Call of Duty EVER! I have been playing Call of Duty since the first one in 2003, and even that game is better than this garbage! The story is the most annoying thing to get through. Play it on easy, and you’ll breeze through like you’re invincible. Play on veteran, and the enemy has the most pinpoint accuracy ever! The campaign is so stupid. If I wanted you guys to make a movie, I would have asked for a movie. But we didn’t. We asked for a Video Game. Not a 50% game and 50% movie that nobody wants to watch. The Japanese in the missions with them have German weapons that were not even in the hands of the Germans! SO WHY DO THE JAPANESE HAVE THEM! On top of that, why did the Germans and Japanese both use the same crappy shotgun, but neither of them historically used. If you want to add a shotgun in the game, why not add the shotgun that the Germans issued to their pilots. You could even have it with a select fire mode where one mode shoots shotgun shells, and the other shoot a rifle cartridge. There is an actual survival shotgun the Germans were given. You even had it in the last call of duty made by this company. All you had to do was reuse it. And don’t even get me started on how they completely disregarded any of the historical names for any of the weapons. Do you want to use the Federov of rifle? It’s now the Automaton. What kind of idiots can’t even program a rifle that’s called what it is! It’s not a “Line 3”, it’s an M1891/30 Mosin-Nagant. And don’t even get me started on the invisible walls, anti-lack of ability to find your own way through a mission. Go back to call of duty two, or call of duty three. Both of those games allows you to create your own pathway to complete the mission. Now you have to go down a set path, and you better not deviate from that path. Because if you do, the game will kill you.

    Don’t even get me started on zombies. We trade in what was an alright mode for Call of Duty WW2, for the absolute garbage that is Vanguard Zombies. Say goodbye to all your favorite perks, where you buy it once, and that’s it. No, instead I have to keep paying points to get the full effect of what was a simple system. Say goodbye to your favorite wall guns, now you have to gamble away at the Random Weapons Box. Say goodbye to round based zombies. Now it’s the same 3 missions, on 5 maps, and some of them are in the starting area. But for some reason you have to teleport back to the starting area? They keep teasing the idea of them having Shi no Numa, and I can promise you, if it’s the same stupidity we have in this mode, I’m gonna quit playing. The multiplayer is just as bad. I have encountered so many crashes when trying to get into a match it’s not even funny. And it doesn’t just lock up the game. It locks up my Xbox. So I have to unplug my Xbox, and replug it in, and then retry to play this game. The Maps or all right, but there’s nothing that makes me wanna keep playing this game.

    You can sit here and tell me that it’s not as bad as I’m saying it is, and I’m gonna call you a liar. Call back and play world at war. Go back and play modern warfare. Go back and play Black ops one. This game is garbage. Do not buy it. This is not worth the $60 that they are selling it for. As I said before, I’ve been a fan of call of duty since 2003. Call of duty made me interested in history, it made me want to join the army. I am now more than ever, I never wanna touch call of duty. If the next game is not at least as good as in the campaign department as modern warfare, or black ops Cold War, I’m not gonna buy another call of duty. This has completely ruined my enjoyment for call of duty. I don’t know who sledgehammer games made this for, because it’s not for anyone who likes call of duty. They gave the game an M rating, but they don’t even do anything with that I am rating. They make this game for children. I’m tired of it. I’m tired of wasting my money on a game that’s not even going to bring me any kind of enjoyment.

    If you want to find better, go play any of the games from the heyday of call of duty. And I really wish that college duty would quit making this game for the 14 year old child, grow some balls, and give us another modern warfare two, or or give us another world at war. Because as it stands, I would rather play the original call of duty from 2003 with better graphics. Because even that is at least functional.    … Expand

    This game is just a disappointment and the launch is a disaster. the only good thing about this game is the campaign but it's short, there's only nine missions and the only good ones is the second mission, the fourth mission and the fifth mission, everything else is really not that good. Multiplayer is where it gets worse. the operators feel like specialist and super heroes. modern warfareThis game is just a disappointment and the launch is a disaster. the only good thing about this game is the campaign but it's short, there's only nine missions and the only good ones is the second mission, the fourth mission and the fifth mission, everything else is really not that good.

THIS IS CALL OF DUTY, NOT SOME REGULAR LOW BUDGET MILITARY SIMULATOR. Zombies in this game just doesn't deserve to exist, it's boring, it's weird, it's simple AND THERE'S NO WONDER WEAPONS. WHAT THE HELL SLEDGEHAMMER. Battlefield 2042 is a hundred times better than this. This game is why we NEED a CALL OF DUTY WORLD AT WAR REMASTER. definitely not worth 80, 70 or 60 dollars. would only recommend buying to play campaign and would wait until the game goes on sale.… Expand

    This game has no actual agendas. The main problem is that these losers who "review" here call everything "woke" that has women in it. Pathetic, but nobody really cares about these haters anyway. People are having fun with the game, many saying it's one of the best Call of Duty games in years and i agree 100%.

Polina is not some random "feminist" character. By the way, not once, not once say they word "feminist". Not once. She is based on real life Russian solider.

    Seems like for some losers it's enough to call any video game woke, just cause one of the (multiple) playable characters is female. That's how far our society has fallen in 2021. Jesus christ. Great game by the way, most people seem to enjoy it.

    Beautiful graphics and extremely well made cutscenes in single player, very fun. Multiplayer is okay, but you wont get anything better anyway in 2021, because Battlefield will be absolute fail. There's a chance that Halo will be good, but that's for next month.

    As expected, this years entry in the Call of Duty - Series does not offer much of a surprise. The heavily scripted and linear campaign is a hit and miss, while the expensive multiplayer mode will keep you busy in a reliable way, without offering any remarkable innovation. Technically, the game feels like a little step back from its predecessor - especially on current generation hardware.As expected, this years entry in the Call of Duty - Series does not offer much of a surprise.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It turns out that it was actually better than I expected at launch. The Beta was kinda null in certain points, but Sledgehammer Games actually listened to what we wanted in the game, and they did it. Various adjustments and additions, balances, visibility, and everything else in betweens. The superior IW 8.0 engine did show the beauty here, but there are some things that I need to pointed out.

    (+3) Multiplayer at launch was better than I expected. Seems like they have tuned down their controversial and "rage-inducing" skill-based matchmaking (at least, from my perspective). Players are now rewarded more often and penalized less. A solid step-up from Black Ops: Cold War, where in that game, everything would not be able to go along together in the right direction.

    (+1.5) SUPPORT BOTH NVIDIA DLSS AND AMD FIDELITYFX SUPER RESOLUTION.

    (+1.5) Visiblity is an improvement here compared to Modern Warfare (2019). More colors are visible and you can still see characters in certain dark areas.

    (+1) Maps were well-designed, with balances between "predictable lanes" and "encourage camping." They allowed for a more wider-range of engagement, dynamics and balance of gunfights. Covers and destructible environments make this even more intriguing.

    (+0.5) Tons of settings to play around.

    (0) I wish the campaign was longer and go through the beginning of World War 2.

    (0) Despite using IW 8.0 engine. There are NO ray-tracing options in the game. A slight let down, but it really does not matter since a game like this demanded quick reaction and fast frames, and the game still look beautiful without ray-tracing.

    (0) Don't expect historical accuracy from this game.

    (-0.5) No factions. This can cause confusions during an intense gunfight.

    (-0.5) Sniper rifles take forever to aim. But I think they were intended to preserve their true roles to support from long range and not going in aggressively.

    (-1) Grinds take too much time. Even with Double XPs enabled, you can level up your weapon on average - 3 to 4 levels per match.

    (-1) Cheaters are in the game already! They got everything unlocked before they even play their first match! (Still not widespread, though.)
    [New anti-cheat is coming. I hoped that it will deal a major blow to them.]

    (-1) Some bugs were seen, hopefully they will fix them in the future.

    (-3) Zombies were a let down. It feels unfinished for a reason.    … Expand

    No more money for revisionists. This game is vampirised by feminists who want erase the white male in history. Boycott, there are plenty of videogames to do. If you are a feminist, would you kindly downvote ?

    I mean, sure, zombie mode is meh, but if you are actually OG player, you would know that COD was never meant to be zombie game. Zombies are just fun bonus mode. If you want to play actual zombie games, play Days Gone or Resident Evil 2 Remake. Anyway, other than that, game is solid.

    One of the better COD games in a long time. Basically no bugs, runs well, good graphics, solid story, fun multiplayer, what else do you want? Obviously Battleflop2042 fanboys are extremely salty because Vanguard is popular, but that's just how it is now. They just have to deal with the fact that COD is overall better game. People are absolutely enjoying COD as of right now on youtube.
