These maps are disastrous, so small i dont even understand why they include scope snipers. Game physics are so poor or non existent weapons feel toyish and the pace of the game is just off for the ww2 setting maybe too fast. I am really dissapointed i feel sorry for sledgehammer cuz they put their best into it but again the games looks from last gen big time.… Expand

    The setting is "new" but it's still a modern CoD. The campaign is actually much better than the last games but the multiplayer is still not classic CoD. This doesn't have to be a bad thing if you like it but the developers always said "classic CoD" so I expected it and was disappointed.

    Quick summary: The game is a bug-ridden disaster almost 2 weeks after launch. HQ, one of the main selling points of the game, is still disabled. The lobbies are very unstable, and you will constantly have to back out and close the app when your party gets separated. Zombies is fun if that is your thing, as it is very similar to past installments. And lastly campaign, is very forgettable.Quick summary: The game is a bug-ridden disaster almost 2 weeks after launch. HQ, one of the main selling points of the game, is still disabled.

Zombies is fun if that is your thing, as it is very similar to past installments. And lastly campaign, is very forgettable. The epic scale and theater of war in WW2 is nowhere found as there are essentially 4 main characters that you don't care about. You go from shooting gallery to shooting gallery only for it to just.... end.

    I was gonna write a more in depth review, but I dont think the game deserves it in its current state. Multiplayer is in shambles. As I mentioned above, playing with friends is broken. Lag compensation is broken, making firefights just a dice roll more than anything else. Only 9 maps?! The game in general is lacking any sort of polish or thought and the whole came gives off a strong vibe that it was rushed out the door. I don't believe for a second that this is what 3 years of development produces. Between the broken UI, and the broken netcode, this game is an insult to any CoD multiplayer fan. Just wait till Black Friday, or wait another few months until patches come out to make this even remotely resemble a $60 game.    … Expand

It literally is the gold standard. A near perfect system. Yet leave it to sledgehammer to kill a good thing. Why can't I put a suppressor on my AR? It makes no sense. And why when I pick a gun up that a guy was using that had a suppressor on it does it magically not have the suppressor anymore? You can no longer have stock and ghost on the same class because of this archaic system. To further that, why is stock a perk and not a gun attachment...There are so so many things wrong with this game. No dedicated servers, terrible connectivity, slowest gameplays ever. They reduced the TDM to 75 kills and still it's rare to get 75 kills in a match. Huge huge miss by activision and sledgehammer on this one.… Expand

    The story is targeted entirely at the American audience and as a result entirely re-writes history and is grossly inaccurate almost to the point of being offensive - certainly so to anyone that actually fought in the war, what few of them there are left in the world for Activision to massively insult by writing their contribution out of history.

    Thus even outside of the non-working servers, the dated gameplay, the abysmal AI, the obscure fluctuations in difficulty, there is a fundamental problem in that even the single player storyline just isn't engaging simply because it's a load of functional nonsense passed off as fact.

    Activision could learn a lot from EA, whilst Battlefield 1 wasn't overly historically accurate in terms of weaponry, it's focus on the disparate storylines across the War was incredibly respectful to the countless sides who fought in it, which is far better than this insult that Activision have produced.

    This is a game from a different era, outdated technology, outdated gameplay, and outdated American exceptionalism that's well past it's sell-by date.    … Expand

Has the franchise been bought enough to vitiate the original game into a political football for people who can't help themselves? Are you that bloody minded to put your politics supraordinate to the heart of a game, which is gaming, to the point where the game sucks? Here we also have historical rewriting to be more PC across the board. The Nazis made no bones about enslaving and killing off the Untermensch, with nazi peasant soldiers each allocated 120 hectares of the conquered lands in Generalplanost. Their blood and soul ethos. You won't see it here in this fanciful PC schmaltz hoping for end user$$$. Equally, the Jewish Bolsheviks fomented civil discord in a hellish way in Germany and not only Germany. The Germans had their strong views and so did the Jewish Marxists of the Soviet Nomenklatura and Comintern. Full on war was the outcome. As for us, good gaming was always irreverent and above all about gaming, amplifying these historical absurdities, not cucking, no kowtow. Amplifying! It needs to said three times. Games are about gaming, ie competition, which is totally nonPC! This is another example of sequels in the ever more oppressive framework we all live in. What a shame. Looks like the only highlights this year are racing games. Hope RDR doesn't take a turn to the left, but not holding my breath after "that" scene in zombie mode. Too much time spent on perfecting PC and much less on the game itself, as per other reviews.

    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 dont 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.

    Call of Duty, oh boy. This series has been around for nearly 15 years, and year after year they release a new instalment that sells solely based on hype. I was idiotic enough to buy into the hype because of my love for COD 2 and WAW, and now I obviously regret it.

    Basically, this COD was meant to be a nod to the games of old with a bs tagline of "Get your old squad back together". Well,    Call of Duty, oh boy.

I was idiotic enough to buy into the hype because of my love for COD 2 and WAW, and now I obviously regret it.

    Basically, this COD was meant to be a nod to the games of old with a bs tagline of "Get your old squad back together". Well, I did, and while some think the game is passable and others would give this a zero, 4 is where I stand. I have played the series since Call of Duty 2 on Xbox 360 back in 05, and I believe I have just grown tired of the same formula, on top of the fact that this game is absolutely horrible. My review is more focused on the Multiplayer as it is the primary focus.

    Positives:

    - Campaign is great looking and very cinematic
    - WWII setting is nice to see again in both SP & MP
    - Headquarters setup for pre-game is a unique touch and offers some variety
    - Boots on the ground, no robots and jetpacks

    Negatives (Primarily in MP):

    - Cinematic campaigns do not equal fun
    - Nothing we have not seen before
    - Abysmal map design (3 main lanes, funnelled into the middle)
    - SMG focused CQB combat, not much variety for battles
    - No bolt action rifles without a scope? In a WWII based game? Is this a joke? (For Multiplayer)
    - Micro-transaction push with useless loot crates (near ubiquitous these days)
    - Forget about team focused gameplay (war mode is not as good as promised)
    - Spawning and spawn zones don't flip as much as they should, too easy to trap or be trapped
    - Forced perk system (divisions), does not allow you to mix and match perks to your liking as easily as previous entries

    Not even gonna bother commenting on nazi zombies since it really does not change much and is usually pretty consistent in its ability to create chaotic fun and endless nights with friends. I am sure it does its job properly as its standalone mode, which I would technically deem a positive.

    This game feels way too much like a re-skin, and less like a new and innovative AAA product (Yes, I know I should never expect COD and innovation to be mentioned in the same sentence nowadays). Alongside this, I have to mention that the servers for this game have been terrible as well, I did not want to mention it in the negatives as I am sure that it will be corrected soon.

    Also, for the love of gaming, I do not know why Swastikas have to be removed from a game that is being released outside of Germany? It was part of WWII, gaming is not a place for sensitive SJWs to modify every aspect to their liking. The soldier configurations and officers fall in this category as well. A black woman on the front lines for the reich? Stop. Historical accuracy is important for these types of games IMO, and as great looking as the campaign may be, why are german soldiers wielding PPSH (Russian) sub machine guns in D-Day bunkers? The social justice aspect has become so intrusive in video games that its sad. I do not care who it offends, this has to be part of the review. If you want a fake and dishonest review about these games, go watch your favourite YouTuber or check your favourite game review site who both get paid to say good things about the product. AAA products are dying in the quality department with things like this and micro-transactions and nobody says or does anything about it.

    Overall, you just cannot find enough positive things in this game to truly override the negatives, and for that reason, I end up giving this game a 4 or 40%, because while it is nice to see a return to boots on the ground and a WWII setting, the abysmal map design, exceptionally poor balancing, toxic community, lack of weaponry, and bad game mechanics just make this game a disaster that is relying on hype for a return to the old style of COD many of us miss. Take a pass on this one, those days are long gone.    … Expand

I will not praise a single player campaign of 5 hours, that standard should've never become acceptable. I have stayed away from CoD for a while, returning with high hopes.

But judging from campaign, it's **** I've yet to see a good Activision game, personally, not sure how they keep getting contracts to create games. Sledgehammer, what, has a b or c rated xbox original game that hardly anyone plays? The gameplay is **** the story is way oversold by the company and it's bought for critics. They make it out to be like some Private Ryan movie, not even close. It's just another video game story with some cool cinematic scenes in between garbage gameplay. This was the first game I ever pre-bought, and the last. I'm a big call of duty fan, missed the last couple, all advanced stuff, but **** off. This is not some groundbreaking new stuff they claimed it to be. It's the same old garbage.… Expand

    The worst game of COD franchises ever.
    Nothing does work well. The soldier class builder is horroble.
    I do not know what they did, the IW was great, they could use a similar mechanic. Poor game, with the exception of graphics, everything else sucks.

    Know that I haven't played the game myself but also know that I'm not a idiot when it comes to quality FPS games and guess what? This game sucks. You play one of these crappy cod games and you have pretty much played them all... I have done enough research and have seen that the game is as I had expected. Trash... But hey... We smart people all saw this coming. We knew it was going to suck lol. Just another terrible cod game with the WW2 paint coat put on.

    Short 6 hour campaign that's not very historically accurate as advertised. Also has dumb AI and glitches on top of stuttering issues many have been reporting.

    Game also has micro transactions which automatically knocks the game down several points.

    Lobbies and load times are totally garbage in this game. Dead zone issues with aiming have been reported multiple times.

    Trash maps that are very few with many guns missing that I'm sure will be released over time through dlc/micro transaction horse **** and butt ****ery...

    Here's the funniest thing of all... Apparently the ps4 version is working better than the xbox one version. The xbox one version was unplayable for the first few days of launch for most xbox one folk... At least the online multiplayer part. So why is the ps4 version getting a slightly lower metacritic critic score by the critics???? Lol whatever... Maybe it's got something to do with that over priced and pretty much useless for gamers console known as the xbox one x? Who knows who cares...

    There are other problems but I don't care to remember them right now. I'm just caring enough to do this review for laughs and for the good of gaming. DON'T buy jokes of a game like this one. They exist to rob you blind and leave you with nothing but frustration. You people should honestly know this by now. I mean for ****s sake... It's cod... It's crap division... It's supposed to suck lol.

    Decent visuals though... Lets not let this review be all negativity... Gotta give credit where it's due I suppose... Just to be fair and nice : )

    Even without many of the problems I listed though... It's still just trashy cod at the end of the day so I would still give it a low score lolz.

    I have never actually given a game a 0 before. I gave the ps4 version a 1 since it at least runs decently on the ps4. But since pretty much absolutely nothing works on the xbox one version... I'm going to have to give this a 0. I'm sorry but decent visuals in this case being the only decent thing about the game isn't enough to give this trash even 1 point. The game being a broken unfinished mess on top of being a corporate cash cow micro transaction game designed to screw you over means I'm not giving it any credit. It's not even a game to me. It's just a scam at the end of the day. You all know it's true. Those of you who actually have a brain that is...    … Expand

The Division classes essentially force you to play certain ways. So instead of picking perks to best suit your play-style you choose divisions. It's needlessly restrictive and feels as though this is just another way that the developers are trying to "even out" the competition, as so to give newcomers a better chance. The maps are designed in a way whereby if you're playing S&D it's hard to flank and you'll usually just run into people head-glitching on something. There is nothing "dynamic" about this game. It's unresponsive, the map design feels lazy and the visuals are poor compared to other current-gen games. It's one of those rare instances where the game is so rubbish that I can't even be bothered to give it a longer, more in-depth review. Waste of money… 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".    … Expand

    C'est reparti donc comme en 40 ou 44 plutôt pour sauver le monde libre mais occupé et comme jadis, c'est la foire aux scripts dans ce jeu-couloir certes spectaculaire mais rapidement aussi ennuyeux qu'un discours à l'Assemblée. En vérité, on s'ennuie si vite qu'on envoit des SMS et qu'on lâche des "kikoos" sur les réseaux sochiasses.

    Aux scripts innombrables viennent se greffer des saloperies de QTE et si la vie ne remonte plus toute seule (incroyable...) si on peut utiliser des trousses de soin, le jeu reste fidèle à lui-même, entièrement suspendu à votre bon vouloir, car la guerre c'est vous qui allez la gagner et personne d'autre : tant que vous ne percutez pas le script qui déclenche l'évènement suivant, les ennemis et vos copains se mettent sur la gueule et ressuscitent en masse ad vitam eternam comme des **** bots coincés dans une boucle. C'est assez risible à voir !

    On reste en tout cas souvent à l'étroit dans ces niveaux et la jouabilité n'a pas évolué d'un iota pour sa part : épaulez, visez et visez surtout la tête parce que sinon il en faudra des bastos pour les zigouiller ces andouilles ! De toute façon, on a jamais l'impression de vraiment jouer mais d'être coincé dans un caddy de supermarché lancé à grande vitesse avec des dialogues écrits par la ménagère de moins de 50 ans.

    Même le bilan technique qui devrait être bon, voire très bon, ne l'est pas totalement... En effet, si on a la 4K à 60 im/s (sur la X), toutes les cinématiques semblent soit à 30, soit victimes de sévères ralentissements... Le jeu reste terne (à tous les égards d'ailleurs) et depuis cet abruti de Soldat Ryan, toutes les oeuvres "modernes" sur la WWII veulent nous faire croire que les vaillants soldats étaient daltoniens.

    Enfin, je ne comprends pas pourquoi ce retour sur la WWII qui commence à sentir le réchauffé... remarquez, parler de "réchauffé" à propos d'un Call of est un pléonasme doublé d'une lapalissade. On dit que la guerre est terrible et c'est vrai : terriblement ennuyeuse et percluse de rhumatismes comme ce Call of qui n'en peut plus : achevez-le et enterrez-le dans le désert, qu'on en parle plus !    … Expand

    I have been a COD fan for many years now. I love Hard Core Team Death Match, but I'm here to say: WWII is the worst game I have ever bought!!!!!! I hate I wasted my money on this stupid game. The maps are really awful. I will not recommend this game to anyone.

    If you want a good WW2 CoD game, literally just play World at War. This game is incomplete (WITH A 3 YEAR DEVELOPMENT) and is just a watered down W@W.

    BORing, bland , ordinary. This game is possibly the worst cod ever. All the reviews from last year were completely blinded by the hype and nostalgia for botg. Don’t be fooled, this game has zero innovation. It has stepped backwards in almost every aspect of the game. It’s just not fun to play. The maps are dire, the weapons are boring, the scorestreaks are terrible.

    It's... bad. There's no other way around it. This game is bad. The lootboxes, poor customization, weak singleplayer story, horrid multiplayer maps, and a bare bones zombie mode make this possibly the worst Call of Duty so far (although I still haven't played BO4). This is the game that made me swear an oath to never pre-order a game.

    Historically inaccurate, winding storyline, absurd game play. I already sold my copy to buy a better game. Don't waste your money.

    Campaign: 10
    Multiplayer: 0
    Zombies: 3
    Average: 4.3

    Players will ask what went wrong in COD WW2, and that’s a shame. Even if it does have an awesome campaign that you can probably watch on YouTube, it’s plagued by an awful zombies experience and decaying multiplayer.

    Wowie this is bad. The campaign is the most forgettable and generic in the whole series, the multiplayer gets stale quickly, and the zombies mode is bland and not a ton of fun. I really don't like this game.

    Probably one of the worst WWII games out there. History wise, it makes almost no sense. The game play of the campaign is so linear it's not even funny. Sections of the campaign where you play as a tank or a plane are horrible. The tank section has you take so many hits from shells that should go right through your tank its not even funny. The plane section is just boring. The campaign alsoProbably one of the worst WWII games out there. History wise, it makes almost no sense.

The tank section has you take so many hits from shells that should go right through your tank its not even funny. The plane section is just boring. The campaign also only follows ONE PERSON. On ONE SIDE, fighting ONE ENEMY. This is World War II. A war that took place on all fronts of the globe. So why only have us play the Americans vs German side. There is also no variety (you just shoot Germans). The "stealth" sections are small and barely cut into the game play. The campaign is also very generic (American kid goes to war, makes buddies, makes enemies with A-hole sergeant, and learns his wife is pregnant). Like seriously, how generic can you get. Now let me talk MP. Match making is as slow as the US communications during the actual war. the guns sound like they were all made in a knockoff warehouse rather than a German or american factory. They sound so bad that it doesn't even sound like warfare, more like an Airsoft fight. The multiplayer just has you run around 3 lane maps with no cover or any style (honestly all the maps feel the same). And yes, I like Gustav cannon as it is a WWII map that makes sense. Battles weren't fought in 3 lane areas, it was fought over massive plots of land or large strategic points. I'm not even going to touch loot boxes but they're there, as well as Zombies, as I don't ply too much of it. Bottom line is that if you want a good WWII game, don't buy this garbage. Campaign wise, World at War or even COD 2 is far superior. This was $60 down the drain.… Expand

    The game was just a disappointment. Almost everything except for graphics and sound fall behind world at war. The campaign was alright, but so linear.

The nazi zombies mode was also terrible because the characters aware uninteresting and don’t have memorable lines. Just an example of missing the mark as a whole.… Expand

    I can't comment on the multiplayer, but the single-player campaign is among the most generic paint-by-numbers FPS gameplay I've ever encountered. Cinematic, and graphically pleasing? Yes, and also completely soul-less and devoid of any real emotion, as if it was created by Hollywood committee.

    The game does an admirable job of making you feel like you're a part of a war with many combatants on screen, but it is undermined by the sloppy frustrating combat. You don't know who is firing at you half the time. The last mission is one of the most terribly designed levels I've ever encountered, with rockets fired at you that you can't dodge, and so much smoke everywhere that you can't see the enemy. They've also brought back the egregious use of quick-time events, and added what are essentially terrible escort missions in the way of dragging wounded soldiers to safety. This is not what the genre was missing, and feels like a step backwards.    … Expand

    This game is probably the worst Call of Duty that I've played in every sense of the word. It was a shame I got suckered into this for $120 as a pre-release, thinking it might have some redeemable quality, but compared to most other Call of Duties, it does not. I'll be going into the 3 main components of the game, and I've played this for 130 hours to 100% the game.

    Campaign: Now there    This game is probably the worst Call of Duty that I've played in every sense of the word.

I'll be going into the 3 main components of the game, and I've played this for 130 hours to 100% the game.

    Campaign: Now there are some good things here. The cutscenes are fantastic, the health packs are a nice way to change up the COD formula, and it has some touching moments. However, that doesn't even come close to making it worth to play. Veteran is a challenge because of the context, and it isn't unfair in most areas. However it feels exactly like Halo, where you're a one man army mowing down enemies, while your crew doesn't do much unless you tell them to push or give you an item. The collectibles are laughable, the characters don't really feel like much and give little to no motivation for us to move on. The conflict is USA vs Germany. No other countries, when the game is based on the LARGEST WAR THE WORLD HAS SEEN with THE MOST COUNTRIES. The game also doesn't have the ability to use certain elements that were in WW2. But besides the point, the campaign is on of the reasons I played Call of Duty, and this one is very underwhelming to say the least.

    Multiplayer: It's one of the most boring multiplayer experiences in COD history. Barely any guns on launch, can't get more without coughing up money it seems, and the lootboxes make the game even worse. The social space has no reason to exist, though I do like some of the things it did, like testing out killstreaks, guns, and 1v1'ing friends. Other than that, any other COD will give you a better experience and more worth for your money.

    Zombies: I enjoyed every other game's zombies to some degree (excluding Advanced Warfare), but this one is the worst of all of them so far. The maps are so dark for no apparent reason in the beginning, the boss zombies are just the worst in the franchise's history, and the Easter Eggs are grindy and non-sensical for the most part. The gun play is garbage and every weapon feels terrible. It's boring, not fun, uninspired, not worth it for any zombies player.

    In conclusion: This game is worth $5-$10 at most. The amount of effort that went into this game is appalling, and the priorities of the development team are clearly towards money rather than a good game. A disappointment for everyone who played or bought the game.    … Expand

    A streamlined multiplayer and less gimmicky single-player gives CoD a nice refresh.

    This is another fun, fleeting, exceptionally good-looking Call of Duty game, but its World War II theme doesn't add much besides bringing some of its mechanics back down to Earth.
