You’re probably seeing reviews for 2019’s Call of Duty iteration pop up right around now, but ours will take a little bit longer. In accordance with IGN policy, we did not send a reviewer to Activision’s recent event. That’s for three reasons:
1) At an event, you’re working with very limited time and tightly controlled conditions. As we’ve learned the hard way, this is not a good way to experience a multiplayer-focused game, and not necessarily representative of real-world server performance.
2) It’s a bad look. Rightly or wrongly, a lot of people believe events are big parties designed to butter up critics and get better reviews. In reality, they’re stressful as hell and we always hated doing them, but try telling that to someone convinced you’re on the take because you liked a video game they don’t.
