Winner: Call of Duty: WWII
Call of Duty is one of the best selling games of the year, every year, and its deep multiplayer offerings are usually why so many players pick it up. The excellent shooter gameplay, well designed progression system, and impressive variety are just a few of the aspects of Call of Duty games that keep people coming back for each annual release.
For WWII, Sledgehammer Games made a few changes. First, the addition of an interactive social space, Headquarters, gives you a place to set your soldier up and get used to the weapons before you jump into the combat. The faction based progression system was also tinkered with, giving you more ways to progress and upgrade your loadout. Finally, a new multi-objective mode called War was introduced to counteract the issue of small maps and to prompt more tactical play. Those additions, alongside the consistently enjoyable gameplay, ensure that the competitive multiplayer is as great as ever.
That isn’t all the game has to offer in terms of multiplayer, however. Nazi Zombies returns with a creepy setting and some new puzzles for you and your friends to tackle. There’s wacky characters, unique weapons, and some tough challenges that are perfect for a small group of friends. As the sales numbers show, Call of Duty: WWII continues the series’ streak of being top of the pile when it comes to multiplayer experiences.
