While it's mechanically simplified, the multiplayer is chock full of things to collect and level up. The game never commits to anyone being anything specific or interesting for long enough to make it matter. In the next scene, he's just a misunderstood war hero who cared too much. One minute your hard-ass sergeant is ready to extrajudicially execute you. The problem is that the characters are such rough fabrications with so little development that it's impossible to care about them for any reason. Maybe you like one ability better than another, so you wind up spending more time with your corresponding brother in arms? Or, maybe you like Zussman better than… (short writing pause to look up a forgettable character’s name) Aiello and learn to play differently depending on what you have available.

As much as WWII peels away at the bloat surrounding the long-running series, it doesn't really replace it. That ends up being just the start of the game's problems, though. There are just guns and the people who hold and shoot them. There's no wall-running or double-jumping. There are no spaceships, powered exoskeletons, robots, or drones in WWII. The change in setting follows the powerfully negative reaction to last year's spacey Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, with World War II representing a hard return to the series' slightly less bombastic roots.
