First I want to get it out of the way I’m in the same boat with a lot of you, yes Aniyah Palace sucks absolute turd, Piccadilly is kinda eh and I think Alex looks very weird.
But that’s not what I’m here to talk about today! I want to talk about how much I enjoy this game.
I started playing cod back in the days of WaW and I played the absolute hell outta the series all the way until MW3 then after that life got in the way and after about six years of no good internet I finally could play online like I used to. And after a disappointing experience with Black Ops 4 I had little faith this series would go anywhere but down a hole at that point. But I gave it one last shot with this game.
I started off with the campaign, since that was the main selling point of most of the games for me since the beginning. While not perfect in every way I found it to be absolutely refreshing and beautiful to look at. The story isn’t too shabby either! I like Nikolai’s redesign, using Garrick as a main character instead of killing him off was a big plus after I found out who he was at the end of the game.
The many many callbacks to the previous MW games is almost marvel-esque in the way that when I heard one or two I got really excited to hear them and my excitement just kept growing as more and more were added on. Alex also somehow became a very memorable character to me, he isn’t perfect but he’s got a good mix of solider, agent and regular person to make him somehow one of my favourites,
All in all the campaign was a great experience with some bumps in the road but the characters and story make up for what’s lost (like Americans not bombing the highway of death, like cmon that’s practically good writing material for trust issues between Farrah and Alex, and it’s practically textbook in the history of the war on terror but whatever)
I’m not going to delve into special ops other than from what limited time I’ve spent with it I can tell you it’s brutally difficult at parts and really... really open. Like too open. But that’s just me.
Multiplayer is where I go to get my time in for the day, I work 10 to 12 hours a day 5 days a week and the weekends are spent doing whatever I cannot accomplish during the week, so it’s good to go into something that feels fluid and relaxing, the controls are really precise and man... those animations are to die for. Like have you ever stopped to admire the reload of the model 680? It’s so good man. The characters in this iteration are good but just unique enough to make me fell a little better than a faceless solider. I won’t get into how badly out of regulation most of the operators are (talon is like literally wearing a leather vest for god sake) but I like the designs for most of not all of them are, it shows personality and depth, and I really like that. Also quick side note I like Ghost’s redesign a lot. (You can fight me in the comments about that lol)
There’s honestly so much to go over with this game, I love it all honestly and it feels like a really REALLY solid return to form while also breaking ground in a lot of good directions
Devs if you randomly stumble across this by some miracle, I just want to say from one random guy to you, thank you for making this one a good one.
