They need to stick to linear level design when it comes to campaigns. It’s SUPPOSED to feel like you’re playing through a movie. It’s like one idiot back in 2011 said he wanted “more freedom of choice” in the single player and ever since then the devs have used that as an excuse to put less into the campaigns. Campaigns should be campaigns, multiplayer should be multiplayer, spec ops should be spec ops, Warzone should be Warzone, zombies should be zombies. The best cods were the cods that didn’t try to make the “Warzone crowd” happy while playing the campaign or the “DMZ crowd” happy while playing zombies, etc. I get it was a resource thing this year, but still - this has to stop.

Then there's the fact that the multiplayer exclusively launches with all reused maps, but you bet there will still be tons of new cosmetics and battle passes for you to empty out your wallet. $70 for a glorified DLC that should've been a $20 or less MW2 2022 DLC.

I actually thought it was really fun, even the open combat missions. Framing is everything though; if it wasn’t abundantly evident that the open combat missions were the result of a limited development time, I actually think they would be being received far better. Because everyone knows they’re just Warzone assets, they’re not being received well, but they’re really no different from a number of missions we had in MW2019 that were open ended, and very similar. Had a great time with them. Biggest problem with the campaign is that is just feels like MWII part II. Where that game felt like nothing but set up with no pay-off, this game feels like a lot of cool moments, but bereft of the pacing set up to anchor their impact. If these had been the tail end missions of last year’s campaign, this would be one of the better CoD campaigns, but as it stands, it’s just too limited in a vacuum to stand on its own.

I have played each COD campaign at midnight after in person midnight releases since COD 4 and the "open missions" just felt like warzone side quests. I want to be put in cool situations with restricted weapons to optimize the gaming experience instead of choosing my class like multiplier or warzone. Stealth was 100% optional and had 0 true stealth/sniper missions. I hope this game gets the worst sales in COD history just to prove a DLC is not worth full price.

The optimization was really good. I play 1440p high settings and was 250-325fps. I wish the missions were a little more in depth and longer but overall I thought it was good to put it simply. There was no missions where I was wowed tho except for the person that ya know, is gone now. Won’t spoil it.

[@extremeheat9283]

Dude what? My rig barely hits 80 fps but MW2/2019I used to get easy 144. Running a 3080 Ti.

[@nuranbilgin-arac9517]

Let's hope the game runs well on PC, this year. Last year was just horrible. I mean, they could make Packburts as a permanent UI on the screen and I wouldn't notice. Just horrible.

[@swavezmartin]

So happy I did wait now I was able to get the game today on sale for $29.99 can't wait to play the campaign this weekend

[@unknownplayer1215]

Thanks for the honest review

[@Daniel-ur3mw]

The one line I found comical was durning the Danger Close mission where you're in the AC130.. The first tank that comes out of the bunker, when you destroy it the ground team says "Tank is destroyed" to which Graves replies ... "Good, I hate those things". I thought it was a cool recall to the end of MW2 when he wasn't actually in the tank.

[@soundwave3977]

To me the game was defiantly top tier need some changes but i like this new direction

[@frrrfrrr9177]

In summary, it’s a wild goose chase to find makarov, but in the end he still alive. Now they’re just dragging on the campaign to set up for a modern warfare 4

[@davet9820]

Wtf are they doing? MWIIs campaign was full of unique and memorable ideas. Gaz upside down hanging from the chopper; parkouring your way through a moving convoy; scrounging for makeshift supplies to defeat Shadows; sniping multiple dudes in a huge level while calculating wind and distance. Practically every mission had a cool twist. Why did they throw all that away?

[@thekingabez3723]

ngl this campaign even being an add on is still ass loll

[@thebodykeepsthescore2828]

​@lobster-p3652 The whole dlc thing was never actually confirmed

[@davet9820]

I'd say it's confirmed now@@thebodykeepsthescore2828

[@victoraguilar2375]

This video convinced me. I’m a big need for CoD campaigns, but MWII’s campaign really disappointed me. I feel like this will be the same. For the first time in so long I’d rather wait until it’s on sale.

[@FreedomOfSpeech1.0]

Will they polish the mulitplayer graphics and get rid of that fog or haze?

[@antitouchable]

Nikoli listening to Slaughter to Prevail while working on an Apache is extremely fitting.

[@bobpackstin1176]

Take a shot every time espresso says “Beyond that” in all his videos

[@chelo2015]

They sold us a DLC smdh that was suppose to be free after they fumbled the ball this was suppose to be free 99

[@OJW280483]

The open combat missions “messes with the flow of the campaign”. Couldn’t agree more.

[@josetomascamposrobledano4618]

The story is what I wished MW2022 was. But the gameplay is a downgrade. We went from Cinematic cod to “semi-low tier Far Cry”. I just wish Cod2025 will be MW4 and END THE MW SERIES. I was hoping at first that MW3 was the end, but clearly Activision doesn’t want to stop earning money yet.

[@V4der87]

this game should of never been a Premium title should of been a DLC all Sledgehammer is doing is cleaning up Infinity Ward Mess

[@ACat-_-WOEM]

I completely agree with everything you listed.

[@garethmolyneux7338]

So glad that I’ve not bought this game this year. The review proves I made the correct decision. Cheers

[@gamb]

they hyped up the airplane scene like it was gonna be the second coming of the airport scene, but all they did was make a cutscene with interaction for 1 second 😭😭

[@jimjones9631]

I didnt like the open combat sequences. What i enjoy about cod is the high octane action movie esque set pieces that the open combat sequences ruin that. I hate how the story feels like sequel bait

[@alanmcdonald469]

I can respect the desire to tell a story to it's completion if nothing else. Comparing this MW 1 2 and now 3 against the originals is obviously a rough patch for the new trilogy, as the majority will likely prefer the original, but, even if the ending of this most recent game is certainly lacking in the blockbuster, ultimate climactic moment type of feel, it's also obvious that there is still more story to tell. Story ain't over yet as they say, still has to play out some more.

[@ivanthegr8one]

Even had you mentioned a spoiler. I think the game still falls flat. “That’s it?” is the appropriate response to this campaign. Deleting it from my system to make space for the other parts.

[@coopertitan9827]

Good review. Skip this one honestly. If you're onboard for MP, wait for a sale. I refunded this after playing first 3 missions. Its terrible. Feels like a 70 dollar dlc. Activision doesn't give a shit about their franchise- this was a horrible release, lacking all polish and quality. Save your money please

[@juggernaut252]

I just streamed the whole thing and i think I need to re watch it to actually remember the game

[@ShadowTrail]

i liked the little easter egg in the mission trojan horse where if you pet the german shepard in the beginning its name is riley
