This game is actually great. I'm loving it. The last CoD I played was Black Ops III, and I thought that was pretty weak. The near future rayguns and wall running felt unconvincingly bolted-on, and the campaign storyline was very silly (and not in a fun, so-bad-it's-good type way, but in a actually-takes-itself-inappropriately-seriously way).
This one though - this one is good! Loving the 'ripped from the headlines' campaign levels, especially the London-set ones. They really ground it and actually give it a really distinct feel. We spend so much time in fantasy worlds in gaming that to spend time in one that actually apes familiar settings feels fresh. I actually found the Piccadilly level quite shocking to be honest. When walking round there the other day I nearly started dropping behind cars and lobbing flashbangs*.
The MP is great. Slick, low time to kill which makes it a little less receptive to an out-and-out headless chicken run 'n' gun approach, and a real variety of modes and maps.
Matchmaking is rapid and gameplay is smooth (I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how to check latency or perhaps even notice it like jim g above - it's good enough for me as a casual player of online games).
As usual when it comes to multiplayer, it might purport to be a military simulation, but with its fast pace and quick respawns, it's much more reminiscent of a series of British Bulldog style playground games than what I imagine an actual war to be like - but in a good way
A really well put together package. I haven't even played Spec Ops yet.

Love this game. Playing with a friend online. Playing Hardcore Search and Destroy, Domination and TDM. Having a blast. Great for a busy Mum or Dad. Just dive on for a game or ten. Amount of content is ridiculous.
Anyone wish your stats could unlock the barracks > mission content collectively rather than having to select a task to work towards? Been on kill 20 with point blank kills for a while now 3 more to go. Only been trying to unlock it for a month.

For me it's the best since first MW. I couldn't handle to futuristic ones.
This game tends to get the "chav" gmaer badge, which is true to a degree. But in Hardcore where there is no HUD, "realistic" one shot deaths, no name tags and friendly-fire, the game becomes a thinking man's shooter. I love this.

I just can't get into this... The multiplayer just seems like total ****e to me.
Ground War is just a load of people camping and Battlefield V does it better. Core modes are still a shotgun fest with piss poor maps... I have enjoyed hardcore on the classic maps but then might as well play old games for the exact same experience.
It's still probably the best COD in recent years but the multiplayer is just boring to me.

I recommend getting to know the maps a bit more, maybe pair up with a friend and do some private matches against bots. Do the more tactical modes, search and destroy and domination. I believe the game is less of a rushing game now, although that can also pay off whilst peeps sitting back, but the maps are much bigger and people sit off more.
