When I was younger, I spent countless hours playing Call of Duty, especially Modern Warfare 2. I’ll never forget those times coming home from school, tossing my bag and shoes into the corner, racing upstairs to turn on my Xbox, pulling off 360 no-scopes, and cheekily telling my opponents I’d slept with their mum.

These days, the tables have turned. I’m the one getting hit with 360s all the time, and apparently, everyone’s slept with my mum!

Still, I find comfort in knowing there’s a new generation of Call of Duty players enjoying the same thrilling experiences I once did. It’s wonderful to think these moments will become cherished memories for them, just as they were for me.

The game looks impressive on the surface, and if you watch some videos on YouTube or Twitch, the boss battles seem epic. However, the game is like a product from AliExpress—it looks good until you actually use it, and then it falls apart. The combat mechanics are terrible, with button delays that can be incredibly frustrating. Imagine you're low on health, frantically pressing the heal button so many times you could have written a book, yet it still doesn’t heal you. Then, ''SLASH'' you get hit, and you're dead.

The voice-overs are dreadful as well, at least in the English setting. You hear English voices, but the characters’ mouths move as if they're speaking Chinese. The game has blatantly borrowed from other titles too. The shrines are clearly lifted from the Dark Souls games, as they’re essentially just bonfires, and the chests you open are identical to those in God of War.

P.S. I wrote this while rage-quitting, so please take it with a grain of salt.
