Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II

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!

The servers don't work on launch, but that's the new staple of a cod franchise. You can't play with friends. Weapon progression is very slow. The climb over wall feature is horribly done. There are some decent maps, and there are some awful maps, the border crossing one is the worst. The forced crossplay and sbmm feels like something nobody askes for or wanted. Refunded it within 24 hours. Sad day as a childhood cod fan. Hopefully the warzone 2 will have a better launch and be more engaging. I think the recent controversy and lawsuits against blizzard and activision have really lowered the caliber of devs working for the company.

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.

Compared to COD AW, and COD IW, COD Vangaurd, COD MW 2019 and some other games, this game dillivers, the story is hard hitting the OG Cod mw 2 and ovrl this is just really good, COD MW 2023 was just a pile of garbage but this.... IS A MASTERPEICE, (Ik that COD CW and BO6 are also good not i didn't include them)

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.
