    The game company promotes in game content homosexuality and use of drugs . The online multyplayer is full of hackers and the rank system is unfair.

    Filled with racist, bigoted, homophobic hate speech. Get called the N word almost all the time. A haven for hateful racist people to torment others.

    The best version of the last few years
    But not as good as the first series of Modern Warfare

    Due to Activision Blizzard's choice in supporting the grooming and sexualizing of kids, I will not be recommending, playing, or promoting this game, and future titles and other games under AB down the road until they apologize. And I mean a REAL apology, and not a Bud Light apology (I don't drink by the way, but I am aware of all of the current news on their crap).

    God bless!

    Call of Groomers. Activision supports child grooming and will take action against you for not wanting the rainbow mafia to groom your kids.

    Exciting game, reminded me of the time the old MW2 went out. I enjoyed a lot the campaign: felt thrilled even if, as usual, the plot is basic. Top graphics, Top sounds, and fun.
    The multiplayer is satisfying, i just don't like this overall Modern Warfare HUB pushing you to other MW games or giving me 20gb upgrades for Warfare every now and then. But the vote its for the game itself.

    Imo one of the better CODs. Has some bugs and balancing issues but lots of content and I like the DMZ.

If it does, you probably won't be able to locate it because this game's UI is buns. This game is BAD. I'd rather play Battlefield 2042 at this point. Activision is garbage. The new Infinity Ward is also garbage for thinking this game is playable. Stupid devs.… Expand

    worst COD ever played. It's a pain to play against PC players. Cross play should be removed or add a setting to be able to play against console players only.

    Campaign:
    The campaign doesn't blow my mind like MW1 (2019). Strange ghost graphic effects, good visible on tv screens and flying insects.
    Same missions as MW 1 remaster. Sniper mission was boring and felt unfinished. Pseudo conversation choice is not well voice overed. Too much silence. Breaks pacing. Bulletsponge enemies. Then go back and forth. Some enemy bodies were wheemans. In    Campaign:

    In the tunnel, the walk is slow, also on sprint, but animations indicated running.
    Enemies not taking cover.
    Action scenes often boring, no music, feels empty.
    Car chasing: Car switching is laughable. Accelerate, break, and steer without being in the car, and jump outside like Just Cause. No engine sounds. I taught am I still playing modern warfare? The car chase was too long.
    And why was this necessary to stick a bomb onto the dead enemy just to throw both back into the car? Just spitefulness.
    Bad water effects on ship. Shifting containers annoying.
    No boots on the ground models, so cheated with slow running animation.
    Running toooo slow on stealth mission.
    Dead end on camera swapping mission.

    Multiplayer:
    Complicated weapon unlock system. No saveable custom gunsmithy at release (again).
    Grinded sniper to max level, still didnt unlock thermo scope as expected (was so in MW1).    … Expand

While 2019 became an instant classic making most, like myself, excited about Call Of Duty and about the sequel, this disappoints. Not because it didn’t live up to the hype, but because it boldly proclaims it does not care about fan feedback or the critical acclaim of the previous game. Multiplayer, they redid the unlock system for gun customization into previously established disliked model. For the perk system, instead of keeping it to what people liked and instead of refining it, they made it the worst version yet, by making it timed. Hardcore, a staple of Call Of Duty was not in at launch with Tier 1 being a watered down version of the well liked Hardcore series. The map design is unfortunate and while I could go on, the point of this is while they figured out how to make a great game, they used that knowledge to go backwards and that’s very disappointing.

    Edit: I lowered it to the lowest possible score. The reason It lost the the last 2 points was no hardcore at launch and what did launch afterwards, Tier 1, is not hardcore. Health is significantly increased and notable Hardcore favourite features are no more. This game could have found easy success in minimal refinements from the near perfect MW19 but instead it boldly went the opposite direction and proudly displayed the middle finger to long time fans of the series and fans of the successful Modern Warfare reboot.    … Expand

    Amazing cinematography. But some sections drag on FOREVER and the armored enemies were stupid enough to compell me to write this review. Nothing says immersive realism like a barrage of armored enemies who can absorb an entire magazine and not even slow down. Do they need the same double headshot to kill you in return? Nah of course not, that wouldn't be realistic....

    MW2 2022 is a very good Call of Duty Game. At first, it's a bit hard to play in multiplayer mode because the gameplay is a bit slower than before. You might have to work on your play style to get good. As for the multiplayer maps, there aren't any of them that I could call very good (Firing Range or Dome caliber, let's say) at the moment (start of December 2022) but the recent addition ofMW2 2022 is a very good Call of Duty Game.

The graphics and framerate in multiplayer mode are good too but definitely not "next-gen" for the Series X.

    However, the campaign mode is very good and the graphics are awesome given that the game runs at 120 fps. Campaign missions are packed full of action and tactics, the story is good, etc. All in all I recommend this game for anyone who enjoys playing Call of Duty. 8 is a fair score to me, given the lack of multiplayer maps at launch and the short solo campaign.    … Expand

The review bombing is by players who would prefer a flat map with zero obstacles where they can line up in front of each other and shoot ~ thos game is perfected to reward tactical, smart gameplay by methodical players. Crossplay means full games in every category. Guns are honed to perfection with a new tuning mechanism that becomes a game within the game as you perfect your weapon to suit different playstyles. There are abundant resources to proceed swiftly and methodically from zone to zone, and running around without thinking your loadout through and getting familiar with it will lead to swift and repeated operator death. The tier one playlist admirably replaces the hardcore list in past games, and every mode has incredibly well designed maps that appeal to every playstyle. I'm not even interested in another FPS. Battlefield is rendered obsolete. No other game offers this level of refinement and pure gunporn for the discerning FPS fan. Each weapon feels like something of my own. And the attachments on offer are abundant and intriguing to experiment with.

    DMZ mode is a class all its own. An open world city where you'll get to experience being in a truly hostile environment that will push you and your squad to the limits as you race against a timer to complete onjectives and safely exfiltrate, or lose all the booty you collect.

    Easy 10 here. Ignore the entitled kids gagging for a homegenous lifeless run and gun mess. This isn't Unreal Tournament. It's a tactical, thoroughly designed homage to FP gun combat in fantastic settings.

    Add a day/night cycle to DMZ and the appropriate gear and this thing is compeltely unchained.    … Expand

    Maybe not as fun (for me) as Black Ops Cold War, my favourite of the recent COD Franchise. But still a tight, fun shooter.
    Featuring multiple game modes across a dozen or so different maps & the promise of many more to come, this looks like a good year again for COD fans.

    While the yearly Call of Duty is experience still remains fun, retreading old ground yet again is beginning to give off the feeling that there’s nowhere else to go for the franchise right now. I had fun playing Modern Warfare II, and those looking for solid shooting action will enjoy it, but I’d liked to see something new from the series going forward. Warzone 2.0 feels far fresher and more enjoyable to me, and is where I’ll be spending my time with COD until then.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, not to be confused with the sequel to Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare 2 is a great package. The roughly 8-hour campaign throws more twists and turns at the players than a day at an amusement park. It was a joy to not have to clear one corridor of enemies after another for the entirety of its run. Not to mention the stellar graphics on the campaign mode, combine all that with what is arguably the best Call of Duty multiplayer experience we have had in years, and you end up with a recipe for success that Infinity Ward is all too familiar with cooking up.
