Gameplay: There are some memorable missions like the one with the Reactor, Gora Dam and the infiltration of a Russian oligarch's residence that have the vibe of the atmosphere of the war in Ukraine.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
the game is very good idk why ppl are saying its badly optimized i have no lag spikes also people are complaining about cheaters in all my games i never met cheater only people that were better than me and i could still have a lot of kills and kill the good players if you say there are a lot of cheaters you are probably bad at the game theres people saying tryhards are ruining the game , call of duty changed over the years now people are getting better and better and you should also try to get good and when you meet ''tryhards'' or good people as i like to call them dont alt f4 the game when you meet a good player and try to actually get better instead of crying about good players. i also enjoyed the campaign i never really played other campaigns but i found the campaign good. so get better, if you have lag spikes you just have a bad pc or if you have good pc you have a lot of things that are making the game lag because i have 3080ti its like 5 years old and still have no lag spikes and good fps.
