Instead, you need to work with your team and use each of their special abilities to move from point to point.

It does not make the game slow but the strategy changes as you can’t run and gun your way through, being a mini tank in your own right. This does change the gameplay as overall the speed of play and height has gone. With the recent games having been set in the future with space, exo-suits and futuristic weapons it’s a nice change of pace to be set back in the past during World War 2.

Sure Daniels could be the best sniper, medic, support but as in the real world, war is a team effort and WWII is a welcomed change. This is a nice change on the one man army scenario a lot of first-person shooters have. As the campaign continues their characters evolve through these struggles and you can see the tension of war influence them.Īlthough you play mainly as Daniels, there are some parts of the campaign where you take on another soldier’s shoes. Daniels and his team are not on a giant mission to take down Hitler, they are frontline soldiers trying to survive. It’s the basic level of human emotion that brings Call of Duty: World War II to life. It will take about 5-6 hours to complete but the story is well written and there are a lot of movie level cinematic scenes to being parts of it to life. The campaign is relatively short but with a game aimed for multiplayer, as long as it is decent it’s worth letting the length to complete slide. It makes a good tutorial of how the new game works with the tweaks to the combat now that jetpacks and space are no longer on the cards. You follow Private ‘Red’ Daniels as he goes through fundamental moments for that era such as D-Day. Sledgehammer have done a great job of making the campaign feel a lot more personal thanks to the World War 2 setting. Zombies have had a changeup bringing it closer to a scary side game rather than the cartoony rendition there was previously.įor the campaign, Call of Duty titles are not always known for them but as a Battlefield player, I like to take in the COD campaigns to see what they are like.

Think of WWII as Call of Duty Classic edition, while it does not reinvent the series there is a decent campaign and at the same time multiplayer has taken a shift in the right direction since going back to basics. Call of Duty has returned back to World War II and has taken it back to what COD used to be.
