I loved the entire campaign, the close-quarter levels similar to ‘clear house’ have tremendous replay potential.

[@KmayThraSheR]

How 😂

[@calebchan-nantais5308]

@@KmayThraSheR literally.... Clear house was scripted and highly polished with realistic and fluid AI movement. You felt like a real door kicker and it was just another day at the office. This game took the idea of doing that and did such a poor job at making it feel like you were a number in the stack clearing rooms. It feels clunky and rushed, nothing like the CQB of 2019 MW. I assume they had the intention of designing the levels to replicate the 2019 cod but they were either rushed meaning the cut corners and couldn't do all that they wanted to.... OR they literally were just lazy and didn't care to make it as good as the last game. I just finished the AC-130 mission and I am def enjoying the campaign for what it is.... They have some pretty cool stuff going on throught the game and the graphics are simply outstanding. I've restarted multiple missions and have reloaded many checkpoints because of how unpolished the flow of the game is. It sucks they didn't reach or exceed the potential they had for this campaign. Cod 2019 campaign was awesome but a little dull here and there.... Cold war literally set such a high standard for new cod campaigns I was hoping mw2 would've at least tried to be on the same level as it. I don't know how vanguards campaign was because I couldn't have cared less about ANOTHER WW2 cod.... (seriously wtf were they thinking) it is what it is though.

@@iTsGhosty24 this is the first time I’ve never disliked and disapproved of Gameranx’s review. Not sure what his true motive was. Something was off about this review for sure. A lot of his statement were vague and repeated from other reviewers have said. The stealth crafting missions are varied and forces players to switch to guerilla tactics, hence use the environment around you to other sequences reminding me of the clean house mission. He was way way off on this review. I usually respect other opinions, but I can’t respect his when he says “the crafting affected the pacing” homie what pacing are you looking for? You’re isolated with a bullet in your shoulder with no firearm. What pacing are you expecting? It’s increasingly vague when multiple players who are just lazy and don’t like looking around the environment even though the crafting is far from demanding like open world games.

Playing this game on veteran is where it truly shines. It allows you to be very wary of how much ammo you have so you have to tactically use your ammo. Almost every level has a need for methodical gameplay. Having to strategically push and peek because you can easily get one shot. Having to single fire a lot like an actual military operator for accuracy and ammo conservation was a very fun change. Try it out if you can handle it.

Although, I wish every good campaign was longer. But the good ones that tend to be longer can get stale. I did have problems where enemies kept clipping through objects and cover. But no crashes or visual glitches. Speaking of visuals. Are the cutscenes actual people, or is the engine just THAT DAMN GOOD?

Another great entry to the CoD Franchise. I very much enjoyed this campaign. I do agree that it is slightly lacking on the storyline side, at least from a “what’s the point” kind of view. Additionally, there were some missions that just kind of randomly ramped up the difficulty like 3 fold. Sometimes it caused me to get a little flustered. But, it was fun, exciting, and full of variety. Worth a play through.

[@Sinn0100]

This game is absolutely amazing! It takes the intensity of the first title and ramps it up to an 11. CODMW2 2022's graphics on a current generation machine (Series X/PS5) are incredible. The sound of gunfire is very realistic and makes me think the development team had a blast (pun intended) at an outdoor gun range. The story, while a bit far fetched is also not bad. The gameplay is as tight as they can possibly get it and I only experienced minor bugs through my one playthrough. I like it so much I am doing it again for Achievements (Series X) and to try different approaches. Yes, the combat options are very open with this one. Addendum- I have but two issues with the game and one is it a minor nitpick. My first and real concern is the length of the game. I feel it could have been a tad longer...maybe an hour or two...or 30. The second is some of the gun designs are not quite right. I prefer my weapons in games like these to be accurate in looks, sound, and feel. COD shouldn't have cursed guns in it.

[@brandonwooldridge1877]

The campaign is definitely fun and varied. Did encounter some annoying lighting glitches where the lens flare was so strong it blinded me. There’s no way to turn off the lens flare and I hope they patch that. The mission where you rescue Laswell, the ending cutscene rendered Laswell in very low polygons.

Looks so visually impressive! They were talking about how much effort they put into the water physics and the way water looks. Definitely paid off. And that video of the Amsterdam comparison is insane!

@@christophluger793 Ah that's so cool man! It's nice to be excited about an old franchise again! I was always a BF player so only recently experienced the MW 1 and 2 campaigns and they were incredible. Would love for them to remaster MW3 so I can play that campaign

I actually really liked the alone mission, I thought that it was giving you just enough freedom on how to take the guys out. I get the point of saying that it slowed down the pace and think it could have been a hair shorter, but I really liked the new approach to the simple one tapping guys with silenced guns like every other COD

[@these3kooks]

Loved this campaign, so excited for the multiplayer. I had so much fun in the beta. I don’t mind the price point considering that there’s not gonna be another cod for a couple years and it’s cross platform so If I upgrade to ps5 it will be easier. Going for the trophies after completing the game makes it even more fun. Loved the ghost character development and inclusion in this game, his relationship with soap is one of the highlights of it all. I’d recommend. I never pre order games but this one I couldn’t resist

Very fun! Very action packed, I loved that they allowed us more freedom of movement and performing actions on our own without being forced into a cut scene. (Convoy mission, canals with Price ect). I didn’t enjoy the weapon selection for each mission, I felt like I was using the wrong weapon for the engagement distance and location. Ended up picking up a lot of enemy weapons. I enjoyed the stealth/crafting section and it seems promising if it will be similar to the Tarkov mode they have working. The AI could use a little more work tho.

This is the first campaign I’ve played since bo2 I just never wanted to give them a chance since then I did for this game threw it on vet it’s fantastic it’s challenging it’s a blast for the first time playing a campaign in about 10 years it was a warm welcome

[@pricelesspistola321]

Playing on PS4 and only issues I've had were a couple moments of texture popping, but it honestly played really well. Story was actually better than I expected, some moments or very ok, but others had me engaged the whole mission through. Can't wait to see what the MP will bring after playing the beta.

@@H4nn1baL3 idk about PS4 but I know that on Xbox one I had no bugs when playing the campaign and the game ran smooth in the multiplayer beta. I would say it's worth buying on PS4/Xbox one generation consoles, but you might want to get some other peoples options before you decide.

Similar thoughts. Not Wowed, but its good. What's weird is how short some of the missions are. In the past, every mission felt a good length, not too long to get bored, but not too short. These were like 5 minutes each. I had one issue with the teammates not moving forward because the mission glitched but fixed with a restart. I've had this issue in the past with BO1 so its okay.

[@MikeVoss]

5 minutes? Wtf

[@CrabSully]

There's nothing quite like a COD campaign, I feel. The games really manage to make the most of their insane budgets. As a COD kiddie, I find it hard to enjoy other FPS campaigns, because I feel they don't feel quite as smooth. Personally I love that these MW games are kind of going back-to-basics. I feel like it's a needed contrast when everything is super insane these days. MW19 reminded me a bit of these SWAT games my friend and I would play on PS2. It's fun being tactical and really embracing an almost role-playing vibe. I also just like that they did something a little unexpected.

[@Withlovefrominterent]

Campaign seemed alright to me. Nothing I would write home about, but pretty cool. What put me off the most was the bugs. On the mission where you're running from the Mexican Army down the hills and stuff, the two NPCs with me at some point got completely stuck on themselves. They wouldn't come down the hill any further, so I went on without them. My guy ended up talking to himself a couple times as if answering things they were asking and stuff. Then at the very end you get in a car and all a sudden both NPCs were in the car with me. So many weird things like that through the campaign.

[@IVG.Reaper]

I played this on hard and that realism mixed with everything else made every single mission so emersive and intense!!!

[@andyhsong]

i liked how this campaign wasn't just non stop stage after stage of clearing out enemies, like a lot of older COD's and other games tend to be like. it felt like every mission in this campaign was different from the mission before it, and introduced different gameplay elements each time. made it very engaging and not so repetitive. the story was cool too. overall this was very entertaining, maybe the best campaign i've played so far honestly

[@terenceb3362]

I really enjoyed this campaign overall, some parts were annoyingly challenging but still good. I had a soft break in the jail mission when trying to rappel out, the game wouldn’t let me grab the rope so I was forced to restart the entire mission.

I adored this campaign and I love the creative missions like Alone. One of my favorite cod campaigns behind the OG mw games, WaW, and BO1

[@jaybeam1466]

It held my interest longer than 2019's MW. It's funny since anyone who played the original trilogy will pretty much know exactly how things are going to pan out, but it shakes things up enough to be a fun time. It definitely feels more immersive, but that might be the fact that I switched back to PC after like a decade on console. It feels much better. Edit: I didn't experience a single glitch you mentioned. The game did crash for me during "Alone," but that was literally the only hiccup I had. I also didn't understand the "stakes don't feel high" comment. Like at all.

I haven’t played the new game yet but 2019’s MW is a FANTASTIC game tho as a whole in of itself! It’s the game that got me back into Call of Duty, easily from just how spectacular!

Campaign definitely felt like the og mw2 but I hope the multi-player is not super broken on launch like most cod games. But the Campaign was definitely worth a play.

[@I_THE_ME]

I played through Modern Warfare 2 Remastered multiple times and I honestly speaking see next to no resemblance between these games. There is little cohesion in this campaign, meaning missions aren't very connected and you end up looking for some missiles around the world. It felt like the stakes were very weak and at no point did it feel like these missiles or the antagonist actually had any real power.

[@papertowel3869]

@@I_THE_ME I did not mean it as in the missions are the same as 09 mw2 but some missions like wearing the ghille suit and the boat missions really brings back memories. But no they are two very different games. But at least the new one doesn't try to copy the old and makes something new for itself
