It took me years to start even slightly appreciating the games campaign and now that i've done a few play-throughs of it over the years I must say my reception of it is a lot better then around the time of its launch, though I think the biggest reason to that is the drop off in quality within newer call of duty campaigns and the lack of proper campaigns within newer battlefield games.

First of all the Campaign itself has countless parts in which the scriptwriting is beyond awful, an example is the beginning cutscene in which Mitchell and Will are established to be lifelong friends that enlisted to the military together yet only right before a mission they start telling each other why they enlisted. Does that seem sensical in the slightest? Wouldn't lifelong friends who decided to enlist together not tell each other that earlier? The campaign also has multiple annoyances linked to it like there not being an Fov slider which the zombies mode somehow does have, most weapons apart from sniper rifles feeling weak and underpowered making you need to constantly either rely on grenades or other explosives like launchers, Enemies heavily flopping around when shot making it difficult to tell whether you killed them or not so you've got to rely on scopes that mark enemies whilst they are alive if you do not have a explosive weapon to use on them, though I do like progression systems in games campaigns as they add both a level of replayability and make you feel as though your actions progress the narrative the one for the exo suit in this game is super slow and even by the end of the campaign I did not manage to get all the exo upgrades that were available to me.

The multiplayer is completely dead and there is no launcher for it on plutonium, there were a couple launchers made by fans but sledgehammer and Raven software decided to shut them down since they let players unlock the loot box content for free leading their greedy pockets to not get their viagra pill funds. I was someone who did play the multiplayer at launch upon console though and it's in my opinion the definitive worst multiplayer in any call of duty game as to date, it felt like a rip-off version of titanfall 2 on fentanyl with everyone being a wannabe faze clan member only using sniper rifles and non stop boosting around the map with their jetpacks, truly said the multiplayer being dead is a blessing in disguise.

Im a major call of duty zombies fan and once again in my eyes this is the definitive worst zombies mode in any call of duty to date and I think that says a lot with the current public perception of Vanguard and Mw3s zombies. The maps were badly designed with non stop tight corridors, zombies were buggy and either too slow or too fast with broken hit detection that at times was worse than world at wars, the movement without any perks was beyond slow and the exo suit did not add much, zombies that shoot back at you are almost never a good addition and the zombies mode here shows that at its fullest, pack a punching thousands of times with a low change in damage and no effects is just pathetic and well just so much more. At least vanguard tried to majorly innovate their own ideas and create their own unique mode, this game just felt like it took the past zombie experiences and tried to crap out a bunch of technological stuff upon it then when they saw how imbalanced it made the gamemode they nerfed everything to make the experience as slow and tedious for the player as possible.

Some additional small notes to end of the review though:

-Game has a really good Villain and main character

-Missions that choose to use all implemented mechanics make the campaign go from a 4.5-5/10 to a 10/10 although they are hardly present. A mission that does this perfectly is "UTOPIA" with loads of creative gunplay, vehicle usage and parkour.

-Stealth is too easy on every difficulty but still enjoyable

-Non stops crashes on pc (Crashed 3 times in my playthrough)


-outrageous price so just buy it on sale if you really want to give it a go

-Campaign is a needlessly separate installation to the multiplayer and zombies

-Dr disrespect worked on this game

-Multiplayer is trash and will forever be trash
