This game has only crashed once for me. Other than that; it's been smooth like butter.
30 hours in, and no complaints.
Campaign was good (wish it had a better story like what happens at the end of the game) 9/10
Coop is good (kinda miss the original MW spec ops)
Multiplayer is good.
Played a decent portion using a controller, now I'm using KB+M. I do so much better. I did alright with controller but now I'm having a lot more fun.

There was that problem with the nvidia driver but I rolled it back and the game isn't glitching or anything.

This game doesn't revisit nostalgia all That much (a map or two maybe like coop)
But the multiplayer is definitely fun like I remembered. 3rd person rocks too.

A bit expensive, but worth a buy to revisit a legendary fast paced FPS.


My account is now "under review" because people in ranked Constantly report spam forcing you to play in other suspicious player lobbies. Shadowbanned.
This game could've been great but they have a system that can be abused. And it is. Hard.
All I wanted to do was grind ranked and hit level 50. I'm 41.
And now I'm forced to play in these sus lobbies after Long queue times with some Actual cheaters because trolls abuse the report system.
Thanks Activision.
Maybe next time you advertise your "perfect anti-cheat" it'll actually be worth something. Can't wait for CS2 that doesn't have a system you can abuse.

Not only that, but this game is STILL tied to Steam servers? So if Steam goes down for Any Single Reason at all, Everyone who's playing (even the campaign) gets booted. In a DMZ game and have a ♥♥♥♥ ton of gear? Oh well. In a ranked game and it's your rank up match? Oh well. Which brings me to another thing, this game doesn't even allow you to reconnect. Even if Steam servers go down (great system Activision). Every single competitive game that I can think of allows you to reconnect. This game is a joke.
You should be able to disable crossplay.
Crossplay is the reason why I was mass reported for "cheating" when I've never cheated on a cod in my life. Even the oldschool game. I got shadowbanned because brainless console players were spam reporting. And in those lobbies? Reporting is So bad you can boot people.
Why the ♥♥♥♥ doe shadowban lobbies even exist? Maybe idk make it so smurfs play with people of similar combat score Regardless of Skill Division, and ACTUALLY deal with the cheaters.
I saw So many cheaters in those lobbies.
I wanna love this game but there's so many problems with it.
I would've hit diamond in solo queue but too many people reporting, disconnects, smurf problem even in non-shadowban lobbies, the list goes on.

Controller players dominate because of aim assist ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in ranked

Ranked is the absolute worst ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ experience in a cod game I've experienced and I have 150+ hours in 2 weeks in that alone

Nobody should play ranked until they themselves take it seriously.

Changes:
Force players to link a mobile # if they want to play ranked. (Goodbye alts)
Allow us to reconnect to lobbies for any reason.
If disconnected because of Steam being down, compensate us. OR make a better anti-piracy system that doesn't rely on Steam servers being tethered to the game (who thought that was a good idea booting Thousands of people off at once because of Steam? fire them)
Fix the report system. I was shadowbanned for a week because of it when I don't cheat.
Fix the smurf problem. They should match with people of similar combat score. OR the # fix
ALLOW US TO DISABLE CROSSPLAY TO NOT GO AGAINST PEOPLE WITH OP AIM ASSIST / TROLLS / SMURFS

Until then, ♥♥♥♥ ranked.
Won't play ranked again and definitely not buying or recommending another COD title until they take it more seriously for PC players. It might as well be an indie game with an insane cash shop. This was a ♥♥♥♥ experience and console players are to blame. The reports. The smurfs. The aim assist. Ranked is a joke. Activision doesn't care and are also at fault.


******DO NOT play this game if you want to try out DMZ.
This game is tethered to Steam servers. Say you've spend a few hours or even the whole day going through DMZ and getting difficult ♥♥♥♥ done and you're finally about to do it then suddenly Steam does offline for a minute. Guess what? Lost everything. You get signed out.
The Battlenet version of this game must be 200% better because of this. This game is a joke.



Final words for this.
♥♥♥♥ Activision.
Not supporting another COD.
This game was hardly supported, they could've easily added classic MW22009 maps and they never did.
They hardly did anything with spec ops, 2009 is objectively better.
They didn't add something I've been wanting to play for Years on COD. Prophunt.
Could've been a lot of fun in this game, MW3 comes out soon, it's being heavily advertised and gets zombies and this game is getting forgotten.
People need to wake up and stop supporting this. This franchise is garbage and the negative reviews are well deserved.


I'm shadowbanned AGAIN for the second time after my 600+ hours of playing All legit. There's no whitelist. Nothing.
I'm stuck in lobbies with majority non-english speakers and some Actual cheaters, literally Just had a game with everyone being ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ french
Why?
Why am I in these lobbies Activision? You want us to buy MW3 yet you still have a reportabuse problem in the game? Fix your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trash
Activision be like omg why is our community so toxic then does the dumbest ♥♥♥♥ like this
Maybe fix your games and give us the features we want like no aim assist lobbies and idk maybe your community would be more well behaved instead of having to be lazy going all in with AI

I love having 150ms by the way, maybe have a ping limiter because I don't want to play with this ♥♥♥♥ because not everyone is shadowbanned and it forces me into other regions entirely
This is hands down one of the worst games I've ever seen handled
