Now-a-days if I buy a shooter it's mostly for the Campaign play.

    I would say this is the best COD campaign to date, but unfortunately that's a rather low bar set by a series who clearly focuses on the multiplayer aspect. I had fun with the story which took me around 9 hours to play through on regular difficulty. I'm a little surprised to see that such a huge franchise not only fails to push the envelope on graphics/emersion/sound, but doesn't even seem to meet the expectations set by games like Battlefield 1 and Ghost Recon Wild Lands. Granted BF1 may have been ahead of it's time, but it's also a year old, so my biggest gripe with WW2 is the unmistakably inferior gameplay. Most notably, the first person movement, it still glides along way too fast and sporadic very unlike true POV movement should be. Cut scenes where normally a game gets to flex it's graphic muscles, still lack. There is definite mismatching of mouth/words, choppy movement and "game" feel. But it's a review and I'm mostly pointing out the flaws, I did enjoy it and don't regret $60 purchase.

    Multiplayer- Come one guys, there must be SOMETHING you can do to fix this. Unless you are a habitual COD or other FPS multiplayer gamer, the multiplayer is simply no fun, and actually quite irritating. I don't blame the kids who are scoring 30-2 in team deathmatch, I DO blame the creators for not correcting the problem. There are definitely ways to create lobby's either manual or auto where players can play with similar K:D ranges as themselves. I don't want an "I suck" lobby, I don't mind scoring low, I just want to play and have some fun after $60 and only a 9 hour campaign. I've logged about 3 hours of online play at the time of this review, and in team deathmatch/domination play I'm averaging about a 5:20. Simply no fun and pisses off the rest of the team. If I could rate the story and multiplayer separate I'd say 7 and 1. Even the war mode, which is nice they don't show my huge amount of deaths, the gameplay isn't much more fun since I'm still being shot in the face every 6 steps.
    I'm not sure what was different, but while BF1's campaign was a better single player experience, they also seemed to write a multiplayer experience that was accommodating for the "Dad" players like me. I think after a few days I was close to a 1:2 average and 1:1 on good days, not a selfish goal for online play. It probably has to do with the COD players adapting to really what is only new maps/guns per release, and right back to praying on guys like me haha.

    Thanks for reading, please check out my profile for other "Dad" reviews.    … Expand

    Outside of an OK campaign and strong Nazi Zombies game mode, there's not much to love with WWII.

No timeline change can mask the problems with the gameplay design and the lack of imagination. Only a significant drop in sales will signal to Activision to kill off this series and let the studios do their own thing. If you haven't been happy with CoD for years, you're not going to like this much at all. My advice: rent the game for a couple days and play the campaign. If you love Nazi Zombies, that's about the only high replay value you can find from this otherwise-limited shooter. If you love the era, what are you doing buying this game? Battlefield 1, though more complex and less rookie-friendly at times, is a MUCH better display into this era of history and should be favored over WWII. Side note: this game looks pretty lame in multiplayer - Call of Duty has finally shown its age as its game engine has lacked convincing detail on consoles. Some may find it appealing but I'd have to contest their gameplay catalog as several other AAA titles do a significantly better job of showing something beautiful on-screen.… Expand

The characters and story are historically accurate for the most part*, interesting and very detailed. The only thing I was really disappointed about was the game seemed to avoid anything to do with Nazi's or death camps*. While I understand the lack of this content I feel like they should have made an edit for the countries where this was not permissible. Unfortunately for the first three days after purchasing this game I was unable to play the game online at all due to server problems. This was my first clue of many that the game, while playable in its current state, could have used several more months of fine-tuning. Before I dive back into the problems I want to talk about another positive of the game which was the zombie game mode. While the map is rather small compared to many recent zombie maps it is a rather fun experience. There are many hidden easter eggs to discover including the main one being summoning the zombie boss which required team-work and coordination between your online party. I am continually dissapointed every time a new call of duty is released with zombies and it doesnt include a search paramater option. I am sick of backing out of groups a hundred times over again trying to find three other people with microphones. Searching for people close to your level and with a mic would make the game mode a million times better. As you level up in zombies you unlock new weapon attachments, loot boxes with skins or one time use consumables, and raven tokens which are used to as a class system to include minor perk upgrades. The only problem is aside from the hold three gun perk that you start with most of these perks that you can unlock are relatively useless. Now to dive into arguably the worst and most unpolished part of the game, the online multiplayer. Aside from connection problems that seem to be plaguing most of the gaming population right now it doesnt take long playing and leveling up in multiplayer to notice how unfinished this part of the game is. I wont go into detail but if you really want to read the long, laundry list of problems you can find it on the ww2 reddit page. I will however mention a few of the problems quickly. The main one being the longer load times after and before you get into games due to the hq having to constantly reload, which is rather pointless because in its current state no other players load into the hq which at one time was meant to be a shared hq between people to marvel at what other people were getting in their loot boxes. This leads me to my next point which is how poorly thought our this games entire loot system is. Lets talk about the fact that they have seemingly hundreds of different pistol grips which is entirely pointless because you cant even see the pistol grips in game, and when you have camo on the pistol it completely covers them up. Also the multiplayer mechanics are grossly misbalanced with people able to quick scope with no need to aim, people drop-shotting way too fast (going prone needs to be slowed alot), terrible gun balance with only a few guns being viable competitively. The multiplayer is by far the worst part of this game and you can tell they ran out of time and shoved it out the door before they should have. As it is now I would recommend this game as a rental and if they add some polish and the game drops in price it could very well be worth a buy in the future. People, however, need to stop supporting these game companies releasing. unfinished products… Expand

    The campaign is decent. The multiplayer isn't. TTK is too low. You die in 1-2 hits from anything. There's no counterplay because as soon as you notice someone shooting at you, you're already dead.

    Call of duty WWII is the blandest title in the series to date. While the game is competently made (apart of the horrendous server issues and some absolutely terrible maps) it just feels like a mash of other cod games without standing on it's own.

While the game is competently made (apart of the horrendous server issues and some absolutely terrible maps) it just feels like a mash of other cod games without standing on it's own.

    The multiplayer hasn't changed much. Apart from headquarters and the war mode, there is nothing here that's hasn't been done in previous cods and it in fact loses some modes like ground war and gun game. everything that the game does well, feels like something black ops 2 did before it and better like the camo challenges (which were way to hard in AW), the emblem editor and the general fast pace of the gameplay.
    the new divisions are basically just a load of perks divided into groups while having one separate called basic training. technically you can have 5 perks at once, but not mix them and you can't switch them out with attachments or grenades which really limits the creativity found in the "pick 10" system
    The maps themselves are mostly close quarters so shotguns are rampant. There are quite a few maps that aren't very good. USS Texas is one of the worst maps i've ever played in a cod game. It's almost as bad as stonehaven from ghosts. There are only 9 maps (not including the 3 war maps) where only around 3-4 of them are any good.

    As far as the campaign goes, it's the same story there. You get exactly what you expect, without anything really surprising happening. The only real difference is that it has gone back to the health pack system from the very first cod and its expansion. You can either find them around the levels or kill enough Nazis for your teammate to give you one. It doesn't really make that much of a difference since the game is fairly easy to get trough, even on veteran difficulty.
    It does have one or two missions that are pretty nice, like the stealth mission in France, but overall the eastern front setting already has been done to death in previous cod games or equivalent.

    As for the zombie mode... it's alright. It is way easier compared to the say the black ops 2 ZM. I am not the biggest zombies player out there, so i don't know how it stacks up with all the Easter egg things and what not, But for the casual zombie player, it's alright.

    WWII is by no means a bad game. Compared to some of the previous games like cod ghosts, it really is good. But ghosts actually tried something different, With the bigger maps and faster time to kill to make team-play more viable. It failed miserably but at least it tried. This game just feels like a less polished black ops 2 with worse maps and a different setting. If you haven't played a cod game in the last 4 years and just want a "boots on the ground" cod, and don't really care that it hasn't changed much then this is for you. For anyone burned out by the series by now, it probably won't change your opinion of it.    … Expand

    The good:
    - Fun, enjoyable and rather a historically focused story.
    - Nazi zombies is by far the most enjoyable aspect of the game.
    - New War mode is great, the only good maps if you ask me.
    The bad:
    - Awful multiplayer maps
    - Lousy scorestreaks
    - Bad weapon balancing
    - Some features not finished on launch (Paintjob for example). Rushed game.

    Well, although the campaign is much better than the last three entries (BO3, AW, and IW). There are mix of tank section, aviation battle, espionage, and stealth. However, tank and aviation battle especially sucks, because even though they are fun it only lasts about 15-20 min as part of a mission, and NOT as a whole mission. Espionage while entertaining, it's easy enough for anyone with basic stealth instincts can plow through. And Stealth.....oh my god, it sucks. There is so much stealth in this game. You'd think that would be nice taking a break from full frontal combat, but these stealth sections are annoyingly paced. I was expecting a brother-in-arms type of bonding with my npc comrades, but that never happened.

    Multiplayer is also a lot better, but still kinda the same. We finally don't have jet-packs and futuristic abilities, so the gameplay is much more grounded (literally). It's still only fun when you are the one kicking asses, but you'll still be plagued with cheap shots, 6-year olds who apparently did your mother, and those who are better than you. Oh and lootboxes, while unnecessary, shows the greedy corperate bs side of Activision in a full force.

    If you are looking to get COD, WWII is the game I'd recommend(sorta). The game looks great, campaign has its moments, and multiplayer as always needs some serious balancing.    … Expand

Maybe those reviewers played a different, maybe beta, version, that actually had more working parts. Maybe this is their second or third first person shooter, and this game was actually better than the other one or two. It's possible. They could be the designers of the game, or their friends and relatives. Or they are idiots. This game is not better than 90% of the other CoD games, or Tribes, Doom, Halo, Battlefield (except Battlefield Hardline), and the list goes on. Give this game a seven, maybe... The 1's and 2's are a bit harsh. 8's, 9's, 10's... Those reviewers just look silly to those of us with any experience in the genre. My guess is that most of the negative reviews have come from folks like myself that have been playing first person shooters for many years and this one does not rate in the top 30. These dweebs act like we are complaining about the game because we are getting killed? Is it the other way around and those giving this game a high score are thrilled because they are performing much better now that the game is so skewed?

    Play is smooth. A few maps support whatever play style you prefer. Others strongly benefit either the submachinegunner, or the sniper. The sldkf;lkjad;lifj!@#%^@#$^& sniper rifle. Who is the %*^% jerk that decided sniper rifles should, yet again, kill people with one quick trigger shot to the knee while multiple rounds from assault rifles or light machine guns is insufficient to kill. End of mission kill cams showing the lame sniper pow pow powing 3 in a row while other players have to EARN it. Really, the game play programming seems to be pretty good, but THE GAME isn't so hot. The maps aren't great. It's like Hexen and the other hundreds of first person shooters did not come before this game was made. I just don't want to be a sprinting sub machine gun user, or a sniper. I want to whine about not being able to play the game the way I want to play it. Oh yeah, a bunch of stuff out side of battle does not work. The wander around and get stuff area is silly. Arg. I prepaid for the special edition with season passes... A lame Call of Duty???? Some better than others throughout franchise history, but this is a new low. Battlefield Hardline was lame too, and I prepaid for that one. Lesson learned. These franchises are just waiting for me to prepay and then whamo, mediocrity. Every other day there seems to be an update to this game. Maybe a big game company should buy the franchise. One that will be ready for launch. Gosh I am irritated. I have probably played a thousand computer and console games since 1980. This isn't one of the worst games I have played, but the disappointment level makes it pretty frustrating.    … Expand

    Everyone is raving about war, I can understand why people like it but for me dying 10+ times is infuriating and pointless, if I wanted to play a purely objective game mode is play battlefield who actually have a player base who will play the objective.
    Zombies is good at first but very very boring and too complicated to play more than a few times for me.
    Campaign was pretty good to be honest.
    The multiplayer is the core to this game and I hate the new class system it's restrictive and honestly ruined the game for me, I prestiges all classes just for the weapons then changed them all to mountain. Spawns are terrible, maps are terrible and theres 9?! There's literally 3 decent maps. Weapons are all about the assault rifles of the ppsh.

WWII is a COD game, to say the least, and has everything you could expect from the series at this point. The Online Multiplayer is fine, even though the map design is, frankly, utter garbage. Each map feels uninspired and lazy in its design, and, my God, the Three-Lane-Structure is just the worst. The Campaign is pretty enjoyable, surprisingly - the relationships between the characters throughout the 7-8 hour ordeal is reminiscent of Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, and the story borrows heavily from the two properties as well. Headquarters is a welcome yet heavily flawed addition to the franchise, but it manages to offer some interesting activities to complete away from the chaos of the Multiplayer. Call of Duty WWII is a decent game, but does not live up to its expectations as a game that spent, supposedly, three whole years in development.… Expand

    una campaña corta que fue buena pero el final se quedo muy corto, pero me gusto, el multiplayer aun no lo pruebo pero espero que sea decente , aunque lo mejor de cod es la campaña y esta me decepciono, su multiplayer es muy inestable y los mapas son para camp ... aburrido

I had to get a couple of hours in before I started enjoying playing it. let me preface this by saying that I'm nothing special when gaming; I usually have to be at the easier levels to get through. That being said, I spent far too much time on the beach dying, so much so, that I nearly gave up and quit. I didn't, and as I got better I started to enjoy it more and more. But, at the end of the day this is a mediocre game, and I wouldn't spend new game money on it.
    What's to like? The graphics are intense....maybe some of the best I've seen. I haven't got a lot of experience, but jumping from bioshock infinite to this is incredible. I also enjoyed the game play. Like I said, once I got better, I got in to it. I loved the sighting with scopes, I got immersed in the play and enjoyed the excursions from regular play style (there is a fighter plane mission that is kind of cool).
    What's to hate? Far too much. First and foremost, it's short. So much so that I felt cheated...just as I was getting in to it, it ended. Second, waaaaay too much video. I've never been fond of these sequences and my god, the end of the game is a half hour of video. wtf? I also really hated how much I would die, and then have to redo some portion of the game. There are also some crappy sequences where you have no idea what you need to do to succeed; weird sequences where you finally figure out you have to move your right stick to center and hit x, etc. etc. There's also an insane mission you don't realize you have to do in stealth mode to beat, so you spend an hour fighting through going wth?
    All in all, I think I liked playing it, but if I knew ahead of time I would've gotten dishonored instead.    … Expand

    As someone that hadn't really been that into COD since they switched away from boots on the ground gameplay, I was excited to hear that Sledgehammer Games was going away from the jetpacking ways of recent COD titles.

    Generally speaking, the game is pretty average to below average. While there is a decent selection of weapons, and more have come out as the game has matured, the balancing is still off, most notably with the shotguns. Maps on the other hand are severely lacking. At release, there were only nine maps, and most of them were pretty terrible. New DLC was released that addressed this issue a bit, with the inclusion of a few new maps. While this does help the issue a bit, I surely don't think players should have to pay $15 just to play on a couple of decent maps.

    A couple things that I have enjoyed thus far have been the inclusion of the War game mode, the Headquarters, and the supply drop system, specifically the many ways that they can be earned through gameplay. The War game mode has provided a different style of game where players don't have to worry about kills and deaths so much, which allows for a better objective based mode. I think that is a great addition to a game where normal objective based matches are played more like a team deathmatch than they are a true objective mode. Further, I think the inclusion of the Headquarters has been nice, as it is just something different to play around with between games. Finally, I am very impressed with the way that contracts and challenges work in regards to earning supply drops daily, which allows players to earn new weapons and uniforms for their characters just by completing a handful of easy objectives each day.

    Overall, the game does play pretty well, but it has too many issues to be considered a classic COD title.    … Expand

    Bueno el juego es bueno pero se queda corto como su campaña, que es buena pero corta, el online es bueno pero sus servidores son malos, luego están los zombies, que también son buenos pero se quedan cortos comparado con los anteriores zombies. Por esta razón es regular este COD, ni mas malo, ni mas bueno.

    Not a terrible game, far better than their last couple of installments. The maps are a mess though. Though visually stunning, they are so clustered and small that it's not entirely fun. No real sniping alleys/lanes. The DLC's are junk and they removed 1 map to add a War mode specific map which I won't play because I do not like that mode.

The DLC's are junk and they removed 1 map to add a War mode specific map which I won't play because I do not like that mode. The guns are alright but you start with bad guns and have Tom work your way up to the best guns for each class. By the time you get to that, it's time to prestige and everything's gets locked so you get to use them for a whole 2 levels and then you have to do it all again or use an permanent unlock token to get it. The score streaks are pretty lame except the carpet bombing yet it will kill you At least 2 out of the 3 passes it make sure (luckily not your teammates though. Paratroops, though great to have are pretty useless as once the year are called in, all the enemy has to do is shoot their parachutes enough times and they drop to their death. My teams have literally eliminated all 4 paratroopers as they come down. You don't get to customize as much as you could in Ghosts which is not fun either. Overall, when playing with friends, it's above average and fun for a bit. After a few months though, everyone has moved on to rocket league, overwatch or fortnite and no one plays it any more.… Expand

    Beautiful campaign story with great character development. Multiplayer maps are okay, but the spawns are horrible with the bring back of supply’s drops lowering the score. I feel that this game is the same old futuristic call of duty only with a reskin of “WW2” the gun audio is horrible, but the only reason why I gave it a decent score is because of the campaign.

    Campaña: La campaña es bastanta agridulce, en que sentido digo esto, hay misiones donde de verdad me quito el sombrero y en otras que dices, esto es un reciclado más de los mismo y de verdad que cada año, las campañas no nos sorprenden en nada, está molona, ya que tiene esas secuencias hollywoodenses que a todos nos gustan con grandes explosiones y bueno un conjunto de personajes que coinciden en un pelotón y bueno, simboliza lo que es la hermandad en la segunda guerra mundial, buenos momentos de risas entre los personajes y poco más, podríamos decir que es una campaña muy "casual"

    Multijugador: Bueno todos sabemos que ahora mismo, Call Of Duty está enfocado en el multijugador, en mi experiencia con el nuevo MP tengo que decir que tambien da un sabor agridulce, primero toquemos el tema de que no hay "ventajas", los combat trainings son los sustitos de estas ventajas y he de decir que para mi gusto, el 80% de estos no sirven para nada la verdad, despues las divisiones, con las divisiones noté que bueno, dan progresión y algo de vida, con los prestigios y además con los regalitos, que no pasan de ser algo comético y alguna arma que otra, de estas variantes que realmente, no te sientes al 100% satisfecho de hacer prestigio en la división, las armas es algo que me dicen siempre como será un MP y la verdad que no llego a entender como no pueden hacer un CoD equilibrado, ejemplo, Tienes un PPSH-1 y bueno esa mata genial, te la pasas bien, pero despues tienes a un fanático de las LMG's y te saca la Bren, esta Bren mata de dos tiros, literal, entonces pierdes esa fantasía de que estás literal "reventando" al otro equipo porque un señor tiene su arma que mata de dos tiros, y bueno, tambien queria matizar el punto que para mi a hecho mucho daño a este modo juego, 1. Los Mapas, nunca visto anteriormente que de lanzamiento nos lanzasen solamente 7 mapas MP, esto realmente es algo increíble y que de verdad la monotonía te pega duro despues de 100 partidas, y lo segundo, los Supply Drops, esto es la peor, pero la peor de todas las anteriores, está bien que puedas pagar por cosas cosméticas, pero es que el 99.9% de las veces te salen animaciones que están repetidas e incluso mangos para las armas secundarias que dices, Woao, está chulo, pero mira, como es un mango ni se ve, porque claro, ¿De donde agarra el soldado el arma?... ya os lo dejo claro con esa pregunta, este multijugador, está decente para pasar una buena tarde para jugar con colegas, pero para viciar y hecharle horas, no aguantais.

    3. Zombies
    Este para mi es el mejor modo de los 3 mecionados, realmente me quito el sombrero por SHG, porque de verdad, yo sé que llegar a los estandartes de los Zombies de 3arc es dificil y eso lo admiro mucho, pero creo que han hecho una buena historia que de momento, está siendo bastante entretenida para mi persona, algo que por lo menos los Zombies de Bo3 no consiguieron, el tema este de que te ayuden a hacer los Easter Eggs, se que en los siguentes DLC no ayudan pero fué algo que me dió como cosilla al principio pensar que te iban a ayudar, pero os lo digo, darle una oportunidad a estos zombies, no son tan malo, bueno y poco más, ya sabeis como funciona las mecánicas de zombies.

    Conclusión: Es un juego realmente decente pero no supera y ni siquiera llega a lo que estamos acostumbrados los jugadores vetaranos del pasado, espero que esta review sea de agrado a la comunidad hispana, un Saludo NOTA: 5/10    … Expand

    This game has some good ideas, and tries to recreate what made the old games great. Unfortunately though, the weapons are unbalanced in multiplayer and the campaign is meh. Battlefield is the better franchise for this type of experience.

Single player is also a mixed bag. It's a basic story about Americans fighting Nazis, which has been done a million times. The characters for the most part are quite good, and the last 2 or so missions really nail the emotion in the story. Unfortunately, the campaign's message is that it is okay to disobey your orders when you have to save a life. Personally I do not agree with this, as in my experience, putting yourself in danger to try and help someone is generally a bad idea, especially when it's against an order. Regardless, this game is alright for the most part.… Expand

    This game was mostly a disappointment. I honer attempting to bring back the WWII theme, but I think this was a major step down compared to the original ones (COD 1-3 and World at War.) The campaign felt empty since there was no Soviet side to really close the book when it comes to the war. Think the previous titles (especially World at War) did a far better job at doing this.

The gunplay was solid like most cod games. The loot boxes were a terrible idea as all the loot boxes items looked the same.

    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.
