Pre-order now for $60 to get in on the Xbox One beta starting on September 1. It's going to be the best Call of Duty in years. What this is shaping up to be is a much-welcomed return to form for one of the biggest franchises in gaming. If you wish you complete these missions and unlock the skins. Yeah clearly Infinite Warfare has damaged the COD IP forever by being the best selling game of 2016. If you're new to Call of Duty in the advanced movement era, this will come as a bit of a shock to the system. For Season 3, Hunter received a new series of operator missions for players who purchased the battle pass called Boots on the Ground. Its statements like 'COD is dead becouse no boots on the ground'. Most importantly it's clear, finally, that Activision has been listening to the community. Lighting up the trenches won't get old in a hurry. They capture the atmosphere of the historical setting while being balanced and engaging. The maps we've seen so far are excellent, too. There is more reward based on skill, not just being able to slide around with two shotguns in your hand one-shotting everyone. I wrote a while ago as to why you should fire up Black Ops 2 on backwards compatibility, and some of that has been brought back to life in WWII. There are issues with the gameplay like those detailed above, but equally, there's no reason things won't be balanced out come launch.

Surely WW2 will be better than latest CODs because lets be honest and boots on the ground COD can beat the latest future cods. It isn't perfect, though since it's currently only a beta we'll let any obvious performance bugs slide. Does WW2 have better maps than any of those games Nope.

WWII rewards gun skill and - assuming you're playing properly - strategy. I had fun in Black Ops 3, and most of the time in Infinite Warfare even, but it's incredibly refreshing to return to the world where you aren't worried about an opponent running along the wall over you. As a Call of Duty fan, I'm very happy with the decision to take the franchise back to its roots.
