I haven't played CoD for years. I was never a huge CoD fan since I was never really a multiplayer guy. But I've heard the campaign this year is very good.

Is the campaign worth buying at full price good? And good as in compared to other FPS good? Or is it just "good compared to previous CoD's" good?
It's good but I wouldn't spend 60eu on it. Just get a trial (or cheap) Gamepass and finish it in three sittings that way.

The campaign is superior to many of the last few years we have gotten and the MP is in a good spot simply because to me COD just gets it right with its gun play.

I guess you only have a PlayStation to play it on?

The best way to at least play the campaign is buying one month of Gamepass

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Directed mode in zombies

"For those wanting to experience the full complement of round-based Zombies action, including the completion of each map’s Main Quest and the ongoing narrative, but are intimidated at the complexity and difficulty of the game, we have you covered. Introducing Directed Mode:

Directed Mode: This is a new way to grow the Zombies community, enabling newer players – including those that didn’t follow the storyline in previous Zombies experiences – to dive into the game with a little more help than just a Loadout and a will to survive.
  • Directed Mode offers direct assistance in completing the Main Quest, with objectives listed on-screen. All Side Quests, Easter Eggs. Trials, and the Rampage Inducer are disabled in this mode.
  • Rounds are capped, based on completing certain steps within the progression, so the undead hordes don’t get out of hand before you have time to increase your prowess with the use of Perks and Pack-a-Punch weaponry.
    • For example, you may be asked to investigate a location and complete an objective there, during which a Round Cap is set to a certain round number. This means zombie waves will still spawn, but once the round cap is reached and all zombies in that round defeated, the same round will spawn again, until the objective is completed.
  • Just as important as growing the Zombies community is allowing the biggest fans of the game enough time to explore the new maps completely unaided, just as they did in the past. Directed Mode will therefore arrive later after launch, with a Calling Card reward available for completing the Main Quest before its Directed Mode goes live."

As a lvl 30, why does this game put me exclusively in rooms full of 3rd - 6th prestige? I haven't played a COD since MW2 and I'm like 4th place 90% of the time against these guys running around with 100% sensitivity whose guns will perfectly snap to targets from clear across the screen with reticles that don't budge a millimeter off target at full auto spray.

Still dislike the trend of having to pay for operators that are in the campaign, hope there's a cool park skin in the bp/bc at least.
My brother bought that bruce campbell operator pack whenever it was released and i never did and still regret it :(
Still use him in MWIII and MWZ.

Level doesn't really matter, just shows time played, matchmaking is based on performance

I elaborated on my post above, but I'm terrible and these guys definitely ain't bad. It just seems like terrible match making.
It will swing back around to make matches more even for you

The game must have thought you had a couple of good matches and paired you with higher skilled players, keep at it the match making will balance itself

In that case its likely these guys will probably be grinding camos as I am just now. The result of camo grinding is it essentially destroys your KD. Depending on what camo you are trying to get, you will have matches with little kills and loads of deaths. Im sure it messes with SBMM.

Wallbuy is vanilla, mystery box/reward has random attachments; cold war had an option where you could apply any blueprint you have mid-game, maybe they'll include that in an update.
Free epic or legendary guns are generally worth it though, the damage increase is worth much more than some attachments
You can set the wallbuy weapons to use your loadout attachements by setting it as a "zombie" build in the gunsmith. So when you get it off the wall it'll have all the attachments you want. Very useful if running the double pistol strat where you start with a different primary and then do the wallbuy for the pistol. Allows you to farm for salvage much easier with a weapon that has ADS and a suppressor.

Yes that feature is alright, but the BP apply feature in cold war is much much better, I hope that returns eventually.

Unfortunately very few devs have the bandwidth required to do it right... There must be 100s of people working just on cosmetics, etc.

Maybe AI/ML can help that aspect
Absolutely. 500 person teams just can't produce the content required to keep the base happy. The amount of people working on this game must be insane.

On a side note looking forward to Resurgence with the new move set and weapons next week.

I agree with the others who replied to you. It's good, but not $70 standalone good. If you have access to play Game Pass games, I think it'd be worth the 1-month sub price.

In the old days, I could've just said, "It's worth a rental."

Also, give the zombies mode a chance, if you'd like. It's compelling.

Let's see what they do with the BO6 weapons in Warzone... I guessing they might be OP but maybe they can surprise us with a balanced meta that includes MWII and MWIII weapons?

Unlikely.
