Goofs
Throughout the campaign there are multiple weapons that appear outside their historical timeline. Such as an MG-42 appearing in 1941 Tobruk, along with a Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr that only appeared in 1945, just before the war ended in Europe. A German Becker revolving shotgun, called an Einhorn Revolving shotgun in game, in the hands of Japanese soldiers. Japanese 6.5mm machine guns on a German train in Europe. Owen submachine guns in North Africa when they were only in the Pacific. Plus many, many others.

Multiplayer great. Zombies awful

Pleased to see a lot of cool new features added into this game, especially the addition of being able to select combat pacing. Gameplay feels like a big improvement. For me the multiplayer would be a 9/10 if it had better maps, but unfortunately some of them feel a bit boring.

Zombies on the other hand is sadly the worst I've ever seen it by quite a landslide. It no longer has the feeling of being dark and scary like WaW zombies was, and instead feels like a bit of a ridiculous arcade game. The addition of things such as elder gods, flying orbs and land barriers etc totally ruin the feel of zombies mode for me. If you play with zombie health bars on (another thing I think is ridiculous for fortunately can be turned off) then you'll find that the game is just a big clump of colours flying all over the place. I have no idea why they'd decide to get rid of round based zombies in favour of this but hopefully they'll change their minds soon, and let it return to its roots. If zombies was still the same as the Waw and Black Ops days, then I would say that this game is the best Cod we've seen since the PS3/360 days and would probably deserve a 10/10. However as it is it's probably a 7.5/10.
