Unfortunately this Call of Duty this year is disappointing. The game was rushed by the developers and there are many problems with the game. Campaign was short and finished it on veteran in 5 hours. The developers were trying to give players something new with the open combat system but finding weapons and loot in 10 to 20 minute missions is just boring. The reward system is also back for finishing missions similar to COD 2019. Only around 14 missions in the campaign.
Multiplayer is decent if you want nostalgia with remastered maps from MW2 2009. Unfortunately there is sometimes lag, awful spawns, and the game dropping you in mid match forcing you to leave suffering a loss. The zombies is similar to outbreak in Cold War mixed with DMZ with side missions and looting. The Invasion maps are decent and probably one of the modes a lot of people play. They also brought back War Mode from COD WW2. About 7 core modes for multiplayer playlist like TDM, FFA, Dom, Search, Kill Confirmed, Hardpoint and Control. There are 16 Maps but they are basically remastered COD MW2 2009 maps so unfortunately there are no new maps to play till next season.
It seems unfair for players that didn’t purchase Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2022 because everything transfers over like operators, blueprints, and bundles. Most multiplayer lobbies are full of players using these blueprints or pay to win skins making it tough for anyone new to the game.
Matches can be fun sometimes but unfortunately there needs to be a fix in gun balance, spawns, and map textures. The graphics look very toned down and less appealing than COD 2019 and COD 2022.
The game has its ups and downs but as people say it feels like a $70 DLC. Perhaps the game may get better once Season 1 launches. Watch gameplay and read reviews before purchasing this game because unfortunately this COD this year is disappointing.
