MWIII: gameplay is improved overall with the movement and such but the SBMM is killing MP easily, people still camp and spawn camp as hard regardless of movement. Least spawns are better in some areas...
Zombies is boring and forgettable and story is laughably bad and far too short.
Bo6: Solid campaign, really enjoyed it, not touched zombies yet, Mp is pretty ok, too many small maps though, and some things need desperate balancing, but what is killing it for me is just how hostile the SBMM is this year, i'm doing worse over the years since 2019, i don't want to put more then 50% effort in but matches feel like you need 200% most of the time. This system is just getting way to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ strict and unfair.


Update: I'm over it for now, if season 2 fixes things and SBMM actually balance matches i might play more but as it stands either i don't bother much or can find a party to get around SBMM, this is just not fun when the game can decide you can have 10 losses out of your control or 10 wins out of your control.

Its. Not. Fun. To. Not. Contribute. To. A. Match.

Its one step forward and three step back.

MP:
the SBMM/EOMM feels way more punishing, swinging from one-sided game to one-sided game, it seemingly gets rarer for a more balanced match up (and as writing this, it already seems like a "dead game" population: lotta hardcore players making the casual list feel like ranked, which could be that most of those that played 6v6 left for WZ or cause of the lack of real 6v6 content, which is it's own issue)

Gun balance is better, lots of viable weapons to use and have fun with, but attachments feel like a step backwards and not as well done as 2019's attachments

Maps are ok besides 2 and a very lacking amount with season 1 adding 2 remastered already played to death maps, so nothing truly new or exciting

Spawns are as bad or possibly worse then the last few cod games (somehow VG fixed this but not the others...) expect to get spawn camped despite having tons of breathing room to spawn at. Shipment is actively horrible thanks to this. Somehow making 2019's version better

plenty of bugs and issues and heavy crashing till very recently (and still crashing time to time)

missing modes as usual like demolition, CTF, and a couple not even being added for season one despite appearing in custom games. These did get added later but not with the mid season update or anyting major just an occasional rotation in all of sudden, what a joke

Personality is still missing from older titles, (faction music, how they talk, bunch of cool calling cards for random interesting challenges,etc )

Speaking of challenges, there really isn't any, most added to season one are just simple "kill 1000 enemies" or "defend 1000 times" for 6 calling cards, grindy not challenging. Some of the CCs look really cool but no unique challenges for extra calling cards like say "get long shot throwing knife kill."

Playing it can be enjoyable, but the game will try to kick you in the face sometimes for trying to.

Campaign:
Story is wack but characters and the variety of gameplay moments in the missions are fantastic
Did lose all my progress due to a bug when verifying so if i wanted to play it i gotta beat it all over again rather then selecting a mission. Fantastic...

Co-op:
Co-op is lacking compared to say MW3 but a bit of fun to do time to time, raid is surprisingly really challenging but great.

What truly kills it for me is how season one really made 6v6, the core mode thats been in cod's blood since CoD4, is just a side mode for WZ and DMZ, feels like they wanna push it more towards the current trends and not what makes cod cod. That and the SBMM, its been a plague since 2019's game and never gotten better.

A 2 year title yet 3 months after launch, its struggling to last and still incompletely, like a true triple AAA "live service".

Not gonna mention WZ as i have no interest in it and don't like BRs. DMZ is fun and can be pretty interesting with how some team interactions can be.
