Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II

The campaign was pretty good, but the multiplayer side of things is a complete mess. The User interface (UI) is all over the place and not easy to navigate. They've experimented with a new perk system which is a complete shambles. The gunsmith has become unnecessarily complicated; for some reason you need to use other guns to unlock attachments for the gun that you are using or want to use. It is completely baffling to me why they've changed so much (for the worse) after the success of MW2019.

As of writing this you are currently unavailable to check your statistics such as wins, kill/death ratio so on and so forth; I imagine they will add this in near future as this has been a staple of call of duty for many years. There are also a number of game modes missing most notably the hardcore mode which a lot of people are extremely frustrated by. Overall I give this game a 5/10 would be higher if I was only reviewing the campaign, but the online multiplayer has been lacklustre to say the least.

I don't think I've been in a match yet that didn't have a normal player that doesn't hide behind a corner and sit there, roast some marshmallows, tell a ghost story, and just wait for a player to happen to walk by. Camping isn't fun. It's stupid, unskilled and boring. Why am I complaining about this? This is a mechanic. Sure. So, why isn't there game modes with small maps? Like shipment 24/7. That's what I played on MW because I was getting sick of everyone just camping. Where are those game modes? Enough about that though.

A lot of the maps were poorly made. You know that map with all those cars? I don't think I have to explain myself to help understand why it was made horribly. And there's many more maps to go with just that one.

Campaign? Solid. One complaint: not long enough. I beat it in one day on the hardest difficulty.

Where is rust?

Where is terminal?

You're remaking an original game, so why not bring those legendary maps back? I don't understand.

Didn't enjoy this other than the campaign, I genuinely feel like I wasted money on it.

I'm seeing a lot of SJW's defending this game by saying "just get better at it. Stop wishing for old cod back" Well, I'm not wishing old cod was back. The argument of getting good falls apart on itself when everyone besides you is just hiding behind a corner waiting. That's not getting good, that's being lame.

Just because a video game looks incredible, doesn't make it a good game. Example: Max Payne 1 and 2 were amazing games with pretty raunchy graphics. Max Payne 3 had outstanding graphics and mechanics, yet it was the worst out of all of them.

My point: don't put all of your effort into graphics and mechanics and half a$$ everything else. Fix this video game.

Despite the interesting new survival type missions and the sporadic dialogue options I didn't feel connected to any of the characters. Where MW1 dared to show the ugly side of war and made you care about characters like Farah, this MW doesn't really do any of that. Backstories aren't really explored and the villains don't get enough exposure to be truly hated or iconic in my opinion.

The previous game also promised to be a prequel to the existing series but this game seems to overwrite the established storyline, which is a confusing choice.

Overall the campaign is enjoyable and not terrible, but I expected a lot more and it doesn't live up to the previous installment.

Multiplayer is great fun though!

I was really excited when getting this game. I absolutely hate it to bits. There is way too much stealth and not enough shooting. I rather the older games where you go into battles and have fun. These games have gone too far now and should go back to when you just shot people. These games are just too hard now and should go back to being fun and simple. Hopefully the creators make next years game a lot simpler and actually enjoyable. I haven't even finished the game and I don't won't to. This is the worst call of duty game to date and should have never been made. I give it a 1/10 and this game sucks.

Call of duty modern warfare II is an advanced and improved MW19 game !

In my opinion its the best COD game since MW3, I will put it at the same level as MW2 2009, they put so much effort in this game and it shows. It succeed where battlefield 2042 Failed, it's definitely reviving COD Licence.

When it comes to the overall campaign, multiplayer experience, it's great !! It's a breath of fresh air from Cold War and Vanguard, lots of guns Customisation and possibilities, new far less boring weapon camo system , Guns Sounds are very realistic, a step ahead from MW19, it's actually an innovative game and I hope they will continue this road,

But anyway It's incredible what an extra year development can do, they should allow developers to express themselves more like this in the future, it benefits for everyone! Industry and gamers we are !!!
