On the technical side, Call of Duty WW2 utilized a heavily upgraded version of the Modern Warfare 3 engine. For 2017, the game looked phenomenal.
One of the standout features of Call of Duty: WWII is its use of a "Squad" system, which allows players to command a team of soldiers during missions. This system adds a new layer of strategy to the game, as players must use their squad members to overcome obstacles and take down enemy forces.
The multiplayer component, while not without its flaws, successfully translated this tactical philosophy into a competitive arena. The new War mode was the standout innovation—a narrative-driven, objective-based match that mimicked the structure of a campaign mission (e.g., breaching a beach, building a bridge, escorting a tank). By removing kill-death ratios from the scoreboard in this mode, Sledgehammer Games encouraged players to sacrifice themselves for objectives, replicating the selflessness of the campaign. Furthermore, the social hub, Headquarters, allowed players to interact, open supply drops in public, and participate in 1v1 duels, fostering a sense of community absent from sterile, menu-based lobbies. Although the game was not immune to the franchise’s notorious supply drop system, the core gameplay loop rewarded map control, teamwork, and tactical awareness over twitch-reflex jumping.
