Call of Duty: WWII

With the number of years we have spent in the wars of the future, the Call of Duty shooter series returns to its roots and classic history, as the new game, Call of Duty: WWII, tells us the story of the World War II, brought to us by the development team Sledgehammer Games, which previously introduced us to the game Advanced Warfare in 2014. As usual in the Call of Duty series, its mission will be handed over to another team, which will work in turn for a period of 3 years before its release. Well, we have finished the game and spent many hours in its various stages and it is time to present you a review of the game.

As already mentioned, the story of the new part takes us back to the past, more precisely to the year 1944 with the start of the Second World War. You will complete missions with the 1st Infantry Division team in various regions of Europe. The game explains itself well through the review of dates, events and locations, as well as the realistic recounting of the events of World War II before the start of each year. In a mission that we will go through, you will move between European cities to face the Nazi armies and you will experience the same historical period with its famous scenes. The story missions and characters you will use vary throughout the story and adventure phases.

Gameplay

Call of Duty: WWII is a first-person shooter game, and anyone who has tried the game knows exactly what to expect here. Here you lead a team of fighters, each of whom plays their role in the team. There is an injury healer there, and there are those who specialize in providing bullets and bullets, while his final mission is to summon help. To attack from the air all areas where enemy armies are crowded. Each member of your team has a main role and it is very important to rely on this matter. As usual, there are QTE scenes or the pressure to implement some scenarios into the story when the time comes. You can also use the environment around you during battle in this game, including using tables for example. As a firewall for you when you need it by pressing the manual strikes button next to it, which is important before facing enemies.

Since it is a shooting game and part of the Call of Duty series, it can be said that the sensitivity of aiming has not changed much compared to the previous installments. The biggest change was in the “military” melee system. It is not as smooth as the previous games when it comes to attracting the enemy and making attacks on them, so I advised against using it. We also mention that the game offers a distinct variety of missions. Not all missions require you to use only aiming, but there are missions that use vehicles during this period and other espionage and sequencing missions. Overall, the game offers a greater variety of play styles than usual.

Zombie Mode

Zombie mode returns in this game and the words here can be summed up as one of the best zombie modes we’ve played in the series. It’s common for the Treyarch development team to be the best we have at our disposal with this mode, but the Sledgehammer Games development team makes a strong showing in this game, as they did with that game. In general, Zombie Breakfast here stays away from all the hassle to give us a very entertaining, no-frills experience. Here you can develop your characters by increasing their charging ability, the strength of their attacks or their speed. What’s new here is the special strike, which has a certain amount of energy. Filling it will give you a special strike. One of them makes you invisible to everyone. In Zombies, each character has their own abilities and there is an opportunity to develop these characters further, while another characteristic makes your bullets inexhaustible or performs special strikes that double the effect of your blows.

Graphics and Audio

The game’s graphics offer a good technical level. It’s not the amazing technical change we expect, especially in gaming, but if you look at movies, the game here brings a lot of innovations. The game will not impress you much graphically, especially since it is the first time that we look at the series and return to the atmosphere of the Second World War. Current generation devices, but there are many shooter games on the market that offer better graphics, but in terms of audio, this game has a lot of innovations here. You will actually experience the atmosphere of a world war with the sounds of everything around you, from bullets and screams of soldiers to the movement of vehicles and explosions around you, and it is one of the best. The strongest elements of this game.

Online Multiplayer

The Call of Duty game series gains fame and power primarily through its online multiplayer mode. Here you can go back to the beginning without any complications. As you begin your journey into the online mode, you will be asked to select a classification or level for yourself, and each classification has different sections that suit the weapon you prefer. That doesn’t mean you won’t be able to use the rest of the weapons, but you can evolve your main weapon with lots of advancements and improvements. There is a normal combat phase that offers you many options and missions. The usual online multiplayer modes return here. The team fight phase, getting the flag, being the last person alive and others. The usual options for fans of the series and what is new here is the “War” mode, the impressions of which we have already shared with you previously on our website.

Conclusion

Call of Duty: WWII strikes a great balance with a game that has what we loved in the old installments and a lot of ideas from the modern installments. It may not be the best game on a technical level, but that’s thanks to the team. The desire to maintain the high frame rate of the game, especially for fans of challenges and group games, with an exciting story and strong content with many twists, is undoubtedly a good step for this series after the decline in recent years.
