Great Campaign mode, games looks solid, however Multiplayer has been a bit sad due to Activision skill based matching and the game seems to change the algorithms when you do good to making you do really bad on the next match. Still a good game, looks great on the X series.

One on my favorite game series. I love how they scale back the amount of maps. It does take a while to download the game and features, but that’s expected with any COD game.

This game is alright. When I used to play this game, I used to play a lot of gun game. The graphics are alright and you can play it in 4k but it depends on the monitor that you're using. Another thing that I can say is that this game is fast paced.

I’ve played the game (obviously) and I really like the campaign it reminded me of the COD: BO2 campaign where you can get choices to either kill, capture, or let free your enemy. The multiplayer is a classic multiplayer. Also the zombies is epic I’m still trying to find the Easter Eggs without a guide. One of the best COD games.

Great game so far! I’ve played the campaign, multiplayer, and zombies, and this feels like a return to form (for the black ops games at least). It’s also a refreshing change of pace from Modern Warfare 2019, which I also love. Can’t wait to see how they integrate in Warzone.

This is a fun game to play and among the best iterations of the franchise I've tried since COD first started. It's engaging and challenging and interesting throughout. Graphics are decent, but not as good as other games out there.
There are two issues I've found with it - one is small, in that I wish you could skip through more of the transitional story portions, and one large - the game is frequently very buggy, freezing and lagging with regularity. It also takes an absurdly long time to download and install on Xbox, even if you have the disc and a 300+Mbps Internet connection.

Campaign mode was good. Zombies and multiplayer are awesome. Had a few issues where I cannot get past the initial screen to the main menu. Other than that I’ve been happy with it.

Campaign was playable, not the best. Zombies is alot of fun, the easter eggs are a worthy challenge. multiplayer is where the game is best. Lots of gun skins, emblems and things to get. There's a good selection of weapons to use with an assortment of attachments to compliment your gaming style. I have some minor gripes with specific weapons, but this can be rectified though patches over time.
Overall a worthy purchase with high replayability.

This game took a long time to download on my Xbox One X, like over 10 hours. But since it is finally done downloading, I can say this game is really fun. Loving the campaign so far and love zombies mode. Graphics are great, especially on the Xbox One X! It probably looks even better on the new Xbox Series X.

I have to agree with most reviews on this. Campaign is fun especially if you grew up in the 80's but short. Multiplayer has been a lot of fun also as they change up the choices fairly regularly. I haven't played much over the last couple CoD games though so maybe this is just new to me.

Great graphics and smooth game-play. Can be a bit difficult trying to be stealthy, as i like to run and shoot. Zombies is a blast as always. Buy this game you won't regret it. Hope the expansion packs include zombies as well. Love seeing what the new maps will be like.

This game is amazing. A great installment to the franchise. The zombies are beyond what I expected it to be and the story is very enthralling. The multiplayer is very well done. All together a great game and would share with others.

Great way to spin off call of duty series! Of course the real reason I purchased was for the campaign. Gameplay is expected by anyone whoever played the COD franchise games. Modern warfare seems to be close to the music player.

Great game but the only I have is it lately just get crashing my system by turning it off and all the features don't work like war zone and zombies and now when I want to play campaign mode it freezes then shuts down my Xbox I hope patch can fix this issue soon other then that I really like the game play and graphics as well as the story set in the 80s and sometimes a revisit to Vietnam flash back

I’m breaking down each section multiplayer, zombies, and campaign (No spoilers) Campaign: -honestly it’s great, the feeling of going on Cold War black ops missions where the game truly immersed you is a solid 4.5 out 5 I will say it was just to short of a campaign. Zombies: -it’s zombies but I love the switch up to adding a health bar towards enemies and different rarities of weapons so a blue shotgun does less damage than a purple one. The story of zombies looks to be a good one with the Easter eggs. Solid 4 out of 5. I will say the one let down is that the only hard fights are the “boss zombies” so basically it’s run train forever until they show up Multiplayer: -This is highly controversial to where everyone seems to be split on hating it or loving it. I’ll be giving pros and cons Cons: -the movement feels awkward it may take a while to get used to after slide canceling constantly in MW -counter uavs, I don’t mind them but when a full team of 6 runs them and calls one in after one finishes and you don’t have a radar for the entire game is annoying yes you have perks to negate that but it also takes 2 rockets to destroy unlike MW bei able to shoot them down -there are 8 maps... and half the maps just aren’t built well if you get the game and run around it feels off I don’t know how to explain this but if you get in you’ll understand -there’s no ranked yet so this is subject to change but no one knows if it’ll be a good or bad ranking system -getting attachments for guns is a grind of itself -lastly shotguns are secondaries granted the pump isn’t that bad it’s mostly a 2 shot weapon but I have yet to see it with the mods that give it more damage and range so it could be a one shot to the chest but at close range but being a secondary it’s almost a given to have one Pros: -all the guns are usable whether it’s the xm4 or the ffar to the suns or marksman rifles whatever your flavor they’re all good just need attachments -the streaks feel good to use and control with points not resetting after death is great and to balance this all the high streaks take a lot to get to -dead silence is back as a perk -there are no claymores (yes there is a bouncing Betty but it’s an equipment item that take 2 minutes to charge) -lastly theres a game mode where it’s like Warzone but there’s 4 teams of 10 fighting eachither and it’s chaos but fun chaos from long range sniping to close range ar fights it’s a lot of fun kind of like Warzone tdm All in all campaign and zombies are great multiplayer is iffy but can be fixed with updates (hopefully) so for now it’s a 3.5 out of 5 for me
