It’s COD. You love it or hate it. I don’t know which applies to me. I’m a simple man, I just want to endlessly tweak my load out, unlock camos, and stimulate neuron activation via hit markers.

The initial release was bad, crashing constantly and criminally missing a lot of quality of life features that had been established for years. It’s gotten better as of last patch, but still needs some work. The store skins are lame compared to BOCW, most of the operators look the same, and there are still a lot of improvements (particularly regarding stats, both for the current session and comparing to other players, etc). Being able to optimize my battle pass progression to get new guns is cool, but who isn’t going to do that, and once you get them it seems like busy work. It also needs a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ more maps, and not these bathroom-sized grief-fests ala Shipment.

Single player was fine, although the lighting sources clipping through the map absolutely ruined several levels. A couple of unbalanced moments when playing on veteran that were rage inducing.

I haven’t tried co-op yet, although DMZ is promising (still kinda slow paced until you get clowned by other players at the end), zero interest in WZ2 as I’m too old to hang.

It does more or less what I want, so it gets a qualified thumbs up.
