Call of Duty: WWII review – PC Gamer

A return to the 1940s makes for a weary campaign, but the multiplayer fits like an old Modern Warfare shaped glove.

i don't think this is a particularly 'good' WW2 Cod Game. Main. I watched the first mission and the explosion effects like like something you'd see last generation.

These games are not fun for me because there is so much hand holding its ridiculous. Plus I don't really care for games that take control away from you so that they can script in a scene, it becomes less of a game and more of a narrative.

Then we get into the online component where it's run, shoot, die, respawn every 30 seconds. No wonder they put loot boxes in, people can't seem to relax and want to be electrified with non-stop action.

Yeah. Not entirely sure why people think this game is amazing.
The only interesting mission in the entire game was the French Resistance Segment.
D-Day was very underwhelming. Even Medal of Honor Frontline did it better. Had better audio and that game is a PS2 game.
I found the story to be passable and that had a lot to do with the ending being pretty good.
I was hoping there was going to be a deep emotional thrill with superb combat with COD WWII but it did not deliver. All we got was a pretty generic and passable FPS with a lot of the dialogue and writing ripped from Saving Private Ryan and other war movies. Maybe I set my expectations high. I also didn't like how the guns felt to. It felt like I was shooting paintball guns and not WW2 weaponry.

So your comment solely stems from "watching" the first mission? You didn't even play it?

[Grave]

I'm waiting for a Steam sale next summer for this. Just want to play zombies.

honestly I think its one of the worst games in the series, but it seems many are happy with it so they must be doing something right I guess.

It's be best since MW1. Not sure what you're talking about homie. No reasons given either. Just a statement

[kevnb]

you didn't give much for reason either, but I can elaborate a little. The multiplayer maps are simply just not very interesting to me, mw1 had amazing maps in comparison. As far as the single player goes, everything just feels like the worst parts of the modern warfare games (the bland uninteresting parts). Almost like not very much thought went into the game play and they spent all their time on the cut scenes... To me its like a paint by the numbers call of duty game with all the rocket jump stuff taken out, but maybe thats what people want.
