the most amazingly bad, horrible game you can or will ever play. being yet another entry in the mediocre CoD franchise, my expectations were astronomically low yet i was still somehow disappointed. the campaign does its best to seem 'controversial' and thought provoking, but in reality its a shallow cliche mess with the only redeeming quality being the visuals, although they still don't compare to other modern games. details outside of the map and the playable area look awful, but not too noticeable. the story references many real events and atrocities without the slightest respect to the source material, often switching the sides involved to spin the Russians as being far worse than they really are. an example of this is the infamous 'highway of death', which was an attack from america and various allies, not Russia. despite this clearly one sided story of good versus evil not being interesting in the slightest, this is far different from the many interviews where the game was described as not having an obvious good and bad side. despite how bad the story may be, its even worse to play. every single level feels the same, with brain dead AI, with only a few exceptions. surprisingly, the best missions in the game are the slower paced or stealth based levels, with often interesting mechanics and many ways to complete them. multiplayer and warzone are even worse than the campaign, lacking any form of weapon balance, with the same 3 guns rising to the top in almost every situation. although the development team is mainly at fault, at least some of my complaints lie with the player base, often being the most toxic, tryhard and unenjoyable people i have ever played with or against. every single opponent i seem to find prioritises winning over their enjoyment of the game, doing many things such as camping, abusing meta weapons and other actions of that nature. the game is also filled with bugs and confusing decisions that make it awful to play, such as the completely broken ladders in warzone, out of bounds exploits in multiplayer and many performance issues and visual glitches making the game near unplayable (i played on PC and xbox, with my PC having well above the recommended specs). i have even unlocked damascus on every gun in the game, including DLC guns (as of season 4), and it is safe to say that this is the biggest waste of money since Lawbreakers.
