Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Fun mix of tower defense and third person shooter
The majority of the multiplayer modes (of which there are three) are played out in your average third-person shooter fair. Team deathmatch and an attack and defend mode are those such modes. The third mode is more an interesting combination of third-person shooting and tower-defense. In this mode, you (and up to three friends) are tasked with building and protecting a garden from ever increasing hordes of zombies.
Pro Has local multiplayer splitscreen
PvZ:GW allows for splitscreen local multiplayer for those that wish to play at home with friends or family on one screen.
Pro Solid display as it plays at 1080p and 60fps
The game never stutters, there isn't any lag to speak of. This bodes well for a multiplayer title.
Pro Variety of environments
Pro Neat campaign
This heavily story-driven Call of Duty campaign features a cool cast of characters, a villain who is basically what Batman would be if he were evil, and a bunch of great set pieces, like an escape from a prison inside an abandoned casino, a tank assault on an enemy base, two missions on a space station in Earth orbit, and a fight on a monorail.
Pro Awesome co-op mode
Players are sent to abandoned towns to fight hordes of aliens, kinda like the Zombies modes in previous Call of Duty games, but with randomized objectives that they have to complete in order to progress. It has some of the most fun gameplay in the entire Call of Duty series.
Pro Runs at 1080p and 60fps
Like all Call of Duty games, it focuses heavily on running smoothly, creating gameplay that feels way more fun than its 30fps counterparts.
Cons
Con Limited splitscreen
Playing locally in splitscreen mode is limited to only one section of the game. The other two multiplayer modes available for online multiplayer do not work.
Con Height
If you played the other Call of Duty games, then you would know that this game always feels like it's always crouching. It is really annoying with your character feeling like they are 4 feet tall all the time.
Con Dead multiplayer
The multiplayer has almost no players, many gamemodes are completely dead and only traditional ones, like free-for-all and team deathmatch have a few players.
Con Fish AI
Fish AI was claimed pre-release as part of the new engine, something that is not even new tech in the slightest and has been around in games for over 20 years. Of course to no ones surprise, post release the fish do not behave in the manner that was claimed. Once this was found out when the game released the studio then claimed it was "just a joke".
Con The competitive multiplayer isn't great
The map design and gameplay is some of the worst that Call of Duty has ever seen. There are better Call of Duty games to play if you want to play competitively.
