it ok

The gunplay can be a little weird, however this is an overall fun game with a friend. I can see myself putting many hours into it, it's already off to a good start as long as the devs continue to care and work on the game - it can turn into something great.

Call of Duty WW2:


New year, new call of duty. At this point, almost everyone knows what the Call of Duty franchise is - most people have probably played an installment of this title. Deciding to go back to their roots, Sledgehammer Games developed Call of Duty World War II, looping back to one of the first Call of Duty’s -- Call of Duty World at War which was set in both parts of the Pacific theatre and a little of the European theatre. However, in World War II the player is submerged solely into the European side of things. I will do this review in three parts, because the campaign, multiplayer, and nazi zombies modes are all different and deserve their own focus.


For starters - the campaign, to be blunt it could have improved… drastically. There was not much effort put into the story, the writing is quite poor for a triple A title. It is both predictable and lazy, with little to no character depth - there isn’t much to care about, any person who has played a video game before will not enjoy this campaign. The missions are relatively repetitive, mostly holding X position for Y amount of time until you have to relocate and do it again. Yes it’s enjoyable to run around shooting things and being the war hero CoD sets you up to be, it ends quickly and most people will be left with a feeling of “Really, that’s it?” All in all, for anyone who's played a game before - you will not appreciate the campaign for it’s repetitive and lazy style.


Multiplayer: The CoD franchise has always had a heavy focus on it’s multiplayer, thankfully Sledgehammer Games took into account the complaints of the previous few titles - which was the dislike of the ability to fly around the map with jetpacks and such. While many view that as an improvement, there is nothing new in the multiplayer. If you have played a previous Call of Duty multiplayer, you have played Call of Duty WW II’s multiplayer, everything is the same aside from the adition to the new war game mode which offers attack and defense style play. While this is a cool mode to play, all of the attack routes are funnels - not much effort was put into map design that would encourage players to outthink and outmaneuver their opponent.. Just the usual CoD run & gun. To sum it up, it can be fun if you enjoy just casually running around and dueling people, anything more than that you will be disappointed.


Finally, Nazi Zombies. The Call of Duty franchise has gained relative notability for it’s zombie horde mode. Grabbing three friends and indulging on some good ol’ zombie killin’ is quite fun, as it has been in previous Call of Duty’s. This time there’s a twist - with actual objectives to complete, there’s more for the player to do - rather than race around the map mowing down hoards of the undead… in WW II you have the ability to complete tasks AND mow down hordes of the undead. Having actual tasks to complete adds a sense of accomplishment and gives a bit of challenge for the player, a good addition most would say. As a whole, the zombies is solid as always and helps recover a bit from the laziness applied to the campaign.


The game as a whole doesn’t offer any groundbreaking features - it’s just regular old fashioned Call of Duty - which the regular gamer will enjoy. While there were not many changes or additions to the multiplayer, it’s still a game that you can load up and relax while playing around, and the challenging objectives in zombies make up a bit for the laziness devoted to the campaign. For the average gamer, it’s a 7/10 that will give you a decent amount of enjoyable playtime.

Fun, with friends.

Nobody likes this game, but we all play it. It's that game you hate, yet you continue to play it. Sometimes you even dump large sums of money into it, and hate it still afterwards. But what are you gonna do? Play again.
How much do I hate this game out of 10? 9/10.
How likely am I to play this game again shortly? 10/10.
