![]() There are a dozen ways to throw down with other players: from straight-up Team Deathmatch to War (a mode with unique maps and objective-based play) and Gridiron, which is basically American football with guns. You start by choosing one of five specialisations for your soldier, all of which are soon unlocked. MultiplayerĬoD: WWII’s multiplayer is a beautiful core game smothered in messy menus. Considering the pedigree of co-directors Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey, however, it is deeply conservative where it matters – with a climactic moment so contrived it’s hard to take seriously. But there are just as many gun emplacement scenarios and pop-up ranges.ĬoD: WWII’s campaign has high points. There’s some great stuff, such as tank battles, airborne engagements and protracted slow-motion sniper sections. The bigger issue is that the campaign remains an on-rails shooting gallery enlivened by largely non-interactive moments – such as when, after sniping from a church tower, it collapses and you fall down with the bell in frankly spectacular fashion. COD: WWII’s narrative inspirations are obvious, but they go places that this particular game won’t countenance. It’s a straight-to-video Band of Brothers, where you fight through France, help the resistance, go on to the Battle of Bulge, and by the end, there’s a big ol’ redemptive arc for your good ‘ol Texan boy. The campaign follows player character, Pte Daniels, and a handful of chums in his unit, beginning with the Normandy landings. Each weapon has its idiosyncrasies and gorgeously elaborate reload animation. Gun recoil remains relatively light, but the jarring flinch when taking fire more than compensates. This is a precision game, its high notes accentuated by incredible sound design: the “shoonk” as you land a headshot is satisfying at an unfathomably subterranean level. Getting the feel right is no small achievement for a shooter, and CoD: WWII does that, and then some. But this is married to a generous aim assist and assorted impact effects that, simply put, make shooting things wonderful. CoD: WWII makes us grunts again, with relatively slower movement and more “realistic” capabilities. It is also something of a return to the series’ roots of more grounded infantry combat, following the advanced-movement-style introduced in future-based entries (think supersoldiers with jetpacks). With these perks, it makes for an easy pick for the top guns in WWII multiplayer.The protracted slow-motion sniper sections are among the game’s best. For longer range targets I usually just single fire with the iron sights. Sometimes I find myself having more luck just spraying in close quarters fights. With this weapon you don’t even need to aim down your sights too often in gun fights. For that, I’d recommend using a grip with it and also using Extended Mags as you’ll find yourself using up ammo fast. The recoil can be a little hard to control. Even with a suppressor equipped, it still packs in a lot of damage at close range and mid-range. The PPSH-41 is my first pick for whenever I play Search and Destroy matches on smaller maps. (Note: Rapid Fire is disabled in Ranked Play) It’ll most likely remain to be one of the most popular guns throughout the game’s lifetime and among the top guns in WWII multiplayer. A lot of pro players use this gun in competitions. Whether being used in close quarters or long distance, the BAR is extremely reliable. The BAR has received some nerfs, but still remains to be one of the best guns to use in Call of Duty: WWII. This one should be no surprise but is definitely worth mentioning.
