Best cod of the modern era, not that that saying much. The campaign was fun enough, 🔑 with interesting ideas such as dialogue options and branching missions, but overall it's hard to get invested in due to 🔑 the state of the overarching COD storyline. I'm honestly can't tell if this is solely in the new MW timeline, 🔑 a sequel to the old black ops storyline, or some weird fusion of the two that drags the old games 🔑 into everything.

Not much to say on the MP. I haven't played it since it's year in the cycle, and games 🔑 are hard to find, at least on pc/steam. From what I remember I enjoyed it, especially the 3v3 mode. the 🔑 overall game feel is bad compared to the MW games, but I think that's not an issue going forward. Fun 🔑 for the most part, but SBMM makes matchmaking annoying to participate in, often having the game openly tell you it's 🔑 searching for games with 100 plus ping at times.

Zombies though, Zombies is genuine great. BO 3 is certainly the peak 🔑 of the original zombies formula, but I dare say I almost like this more, gameplay wise. It is sadly missing 🔑 a lot of the personality of the W@W-BO3, with MP operators as characters instead of a set crew being the 🔑 largest problem. The HUD does also kinda suck, fine in function but lacking any character in the design. Especially compared 🔑 to BO3, although I'd say it's still miles above BO4 with how cluttered that was.

All in all, I'd say it's 🔑 worth it on sale if you really like cod zombies and skipped this one. It has a lot of rouge-like 🔑 elements that can keep you playing for a while, plus a weapon/camo grind, if you're into that sorta thing. If 🔑 you're not a fan of zombies, don't bother.
