Call of Duty: WWII

That’s on top of the insidious loot crate mechanics. While it’s purely cosmetic based, for now, data mining has hinted weapon drops will be coming in loot crates soon. Call of Duty: WWII really isn’t a good enough game to justify those costs.

COD has a few issues in single player this year but the overall package delivers another good shooter with plenty to do and some neat new online ideas.

Headquarters feels like an unstable attempt at Destiny-fying Call of Duty, but the amount of online multiplayer content available will help people overlook flaws and perhaps allow for future iteration. Call of Duty: WWII is a solid entry, but it feels more safe and standard than it should, especially standing next to its peers that took similar ideas and did more.

And therein lies the issue that seems to extend throughout Call of Duty: WWII and the franchise at large. There’s a distinct sense that changing the formula is just too risky for such a major property, which leaves Call of Duty in an enjoyable but unremarkable rut.

WWII marks the first time I felt like I could get a grip on Call of Duty's multiplayer since Black Ops 2, and the most fun I've had with it since Modern Warfare. It's a familiar feeling, but a comfortable one. If the matchmaking settles and if it can maintain a PC population larger than than a small town in North Dakota, then WWII could be a great Call of Duty for anyone bothered by the direction the multiplayer was going with the complications futuristic warfare rolled in.

I'm pleased with Call of Duty WW2, but the rough launch and average campaign marred what could have been an unparalleled addition to the Call of Duty franchise. As good as multiplayer is, I have to dock points for missing features and instability. However, if you're a fan of the series, this game will be a breath of fresh air, and as long as Sledgehammer tightens up the technical problems, it'll be a title that has the longevity that the last few titles haven't.

If you were worried that Call of Duty would not deliver on the promise to go back to its roots, please try the game! I was skeptical, especially after the beta. I thought there was no way it could happen. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they made good on that promise.

As you battle on through iconic German cities such as Aachen, through the French forest of Ardennes, and on to the Rhine in the heart of Germany, the story continues to get better. Daniels and best pal Zussman's bond becomes stronger, as they encounter numerous setbacks to the mission and the squad. "Inspired by true events" really applies here, as it's clear how Sledgehammer took on board the advice from World War II survivors. Narrative wise, this is the best Call of Duty campaign to date.

Fantastic graphics and presentation. Headquarters is an impressive social hub and the less traditional elements of the campaign work well. War mode is great fun. The campaign is too clichéd in terms of both characters and overfamiliar set pieces. Multiplayer gameplay has no real new ideas and gets old quickly. Too few maps for War.

Call Of Duty: WWII doesn’t surprise in any way – the campaign not being daring and falling back on FPS tropes we’d had enough of the last time COD was in World War II doesn’t surprise. Multiplayer offering a mix of solid highs and bewildering lows doesn’t surprise. Loot boxes littering your headquarters don’t surprise.

In terms of bringing old-school Call of Duty up to modern standards, Call of Duty: WWII does fairly admirably, but at the same time every end of it feels like something is missing. The campaign is a tour and spectacle of the terror and intensity of the conflict as the Allies fought their way into to the Eagle’s Nest, but the forgoing of nearly all outside perspectives in favor of an all-American campaign feels narrow in comparison to previous COD outings that have tackled this subject matter.

If you’re a die-hard Call Of Duty fan you probably pre-ordered WWII months back and need no convincing, but if like me, you’ve become a bit jaded towards the franchise it’s worth giving this latest instalment a try.

Die Kampagne von Call of Duty: WW2 wird zwar durch die Hauptcharaktere sehr persönlich erzählt, ist aber gleichzeitig auch der schwächste Bestandteil im neuen, alten Setting. Die Geschichte ist bombastisch inszeniert, mit vielen nötigen Ecken und Kanten und vor allem für ein Unterhaltungsprodukt wie Call of Duty mit grobem, historisch-korrekten Verlauf passend.

Einsteiger bekommen jetzt klare Ziele vorgegeben: Aktiviere die Geistkraft-Maschine, setze die Waffe zusammen oder öffne die Bunker-Tür. Das Lösen dieser Aufgaben erfordert nur wenig Knobelei.

Les roses sont rouges, les violettes sont bleues et Call of Duty est Call of Duty. Les promesses n’engagent jamais ceux qui les font, seulement ceux qui les croient. Ce quatorzième épisode devait être celui de la révolution et ce n’est pas le cas. Ou alors seulement si la révolution consiste à réutiliser un concept d'il y a quinze ans en réintégrant un système de santé aussi vieux que le jeu vidéo lui-même.

Ce Call of Duty : WW2 est une vraie réussite. Il parvient à nous servir un solo de grande qualité, ni manichéen, ni fade, auréolé d'améliorations significatives en matière de gameplay et de mise en scène. Fidèles au postes, la nuée de modes de jeu "classiques" fait le travail sans trop chercher à changer l'expérience "boots on the ground" que procurait jadis le multi de CoD.

Le bestiaire est varié, et comme toujours, une véritable course à l'armement s'engage entre les joueurs et les ennemis, qui deviennent de plus en plus redoutables à chaque vague. Ce nouveau mode zombie nous a réellement tapé dans l'œil, particulièrement grâce à son ambiance pesante qui est un excellent moteur à la cohésion de groupe. Un must pour les amateurs de jeu en coopération.

Call of Duty: WWII è un gioco che ha saputo soddisfarci e divertirci. Abbiamo avuto la possibilità di esplorarlo in ogni suo centimetro e quello che abbiamo trovato è un titolo solido, divertente e curato. Una campagna single player soddisfacente, che nonostante alcuni evidenti difetti rappresenta un'ottima esperienza, scenograficamente rocambolesca e ludicamente varia; il multiplayer sfiora la perfezione e Nazi Zombies riesce a reinventare una formula che, almeno nel look, stava iniziando ad annoiare.

Авторы Call of Duty: WWII обещали «вернуться к корням» и сдержали слово. Впрочем, это далеко не главное их достижение. Куда важнее, что они впервые в серии решили использовать декорации Второй мировой для того, чтобы всерьез поговорить об ужасах войны.

Uzun lafın kısası Call of Duty: WWII hikaye mod'u ile ortalama bir deneyim sunmayı başarsa da, birçoğumuzun oyunu satın alma sebebi olan çoklu oyuncu mod'u ile beklentilerimizin çok ama çok altında kalıyor.

Powrót do korzeni zdecydowanie przysłużył się serii. Call of Duty WWII otrzymało fenomenalną kampanię, którą wspominać będę jeszcze przez wiele tygodni, a może nawet miesięcy. Tryb wieloosobowy został wzbogacony o świetny tryb Wojny, jednak jeśli rozgrywka wieloosobowa z poprzednich odsłon nie przypadła Wam do gustu, to nie znajdziecie tu niczego odkrywczego.
