Call of Duty: WWII creates the definitive World War II next generation experience across three different game modes: Campaign, Multiplayer, and Co-Operative. Featuring stunning visuals, the Campaign transports players to the European theater as they engage in an all-new Call of Duty story set in iconic World War II battles. Multiplayer marks a return to original, boots-on-the ground Call of Duty gameplay. Authentic weapons and traditional run-and-gun action immerse you in a vast array of World War II-themed locations. The Co-Operative mode unleashes a new and original story in a standalone game experience full of unexpected, adrenaline-pumping moments.
The first thing I liked about this was the nostalgia it brought. It made me reminisce back to the days of MOH/COD2. Whether it be fictional tales like the Wolfentein series or games more grounded in reality, I've always enjoyed the WWII theme in media. The theme aside, I think I also felt that nostalgia because it does feel similar. The FPS genre hasn't changed dramatically. I only played this on regular difficulty but it does seem more challenging than other COD titles of late, which makes sense I guess given the theme of the game. As with many FPS games these days stealth is a feature here as well that becomes a larger option towards the middle stages of the story. The multiplayer is decent with interesting enough maps to complete against fellow players in.
With many FPS games going down the modern warfare, zombie, or sci-fi path it was nice to go back to the 1940s with this. As mentioned though, much of my early enjoyable was due to nostalgia and there isn't much here new to the genre, but with this maybe that was a positive.
