Playing this game, is like having an Alcoholic father who you continue to hope will change but refuses to do so. The core gameplay loop of this COD is like any other from the tac-sprint era. Especially fast time to kill aside, there are actually a lot of good changes made here. The camo progression system is a very cool innovation and I'd like this to be the new standard for future titles. The guns in this game have a lot of variety and the attention to detail is impeccable, as Infinity ward seems to excel with, as was with MW2019. This, however, is where the positives end. The game is horribly unstable, I bought this game day one of its release and it has probably frozen 40-50 times at this point. I have a 12th gen CPU and a 3080 and the game is on an NVME. The game is chock full of visual bugs, occasionally making it impossible to see anything on screen thus forcing you to quit the game and possibly restart it to solve the issue. I have verified the integrity of game files after every freeze, and there are always exactly 38 files missing, which are "required" only for the game to subsequently freeze within the hour. I really, really want to love this game, there are times where awesome ♥♥♥♥ happens, and the game can be very satisfying, but it would be a crime for me to recommend this game to anyone, if you have played call of duty before, and like it, you will like this game, but if I were you, I would wait at least a few months if not longer, especially because Activision had the GAUL to charge 70 dollars for 10 maps and 51 guns on release.
