My personal mini review (longer than I expected)

Campaign - Campaign was decent, i liked the way you could customise your class before each mission like other people have said. But i felt that the 80s storyline absolutely destroys the futuristic section in terms of both gameplay and quality; shame the 80s section couldn't have been longer or the main one even. - 8/10

Multipalyer - Pick 10 system is a nice addition to the diluted Create-a-class system and now finally I am seeing more than the typical perk setup (Sleight of hand/Scavenger, Assassin, Last Stand/Dead Silence etc.). I also respect Treyarch for taking out Deathstreaks which i felt rewarded bad players. My biggest criticisms though, is that the spawns are atrocious, its not so bad on big maps, but because most of the maps are CQC its not uncommon to get shot from behind straight after spawning or literally run into an enemy round the corner after spawning, which is extremely frustrating. Because the maps are so CQC, it brings me to my other criticism. I feel the maps are extremely bland and lacked variety, a lot of the maps apart from a couple; are too suited to SMGs (even assault rifles struggle against them on this game) and felt pretty much like clones of Nuketown but on different scales. I also would of liked it if they added some 80s weapons such as the AK-74u and Barrett as well as some 80s-style maps. I hope they address these issues in the future and add much bigger maps. I think this game has potential to be the best multiplayer since Call of Duty 4 with its pick 10 system and added maps like Array (my personal favorite map from Black ops) or maps like Seelow or Downfall from WaW. - 8/10

Zombies - Never really been a fan of Call of Duty Zombies and I have found this one to be as tedious as ever, i can't really expand on that. - 4/10

My Personal Rating - 7.6/10
