Our author Sascha Penzhorn also dug through the beta. Why the test phase leaves him skeptical is best explained to you in his inimitable way:

Beta conclusion – anticipation turns into skepticism
That’s what GameStar readers say about the MW2 beta
In addition to the raw numbers, we also wanted to read your opinions in text form. An ambivalent picture emerges here. For community member CakeDeluxe, the beta was a complete disaster because of the game design:
More technical problems than I have ever experienced during a CoD beta, horrible interface, winning campers – for me it has little to do with tactics, bad balancing, […] loveless maps, you have to play against bots in some modes.
There are also direct counter-opinions to this. For example, Realchicken replies:
For me, the maps of the beta are extremely successful. Reminds me a bit of Counter-Strike in the 6vs6 modes. Not too open, enough coverage and also perfect in size. Previously had something to complain about in the maps in every CoD or in every beta, not here.

Captain Cola places himself somewhere in the middle, criticizes the similarity to the predecessor of the series and is happy about the planned longer support of CoD Modern Warfare 2:
I thought it was ok, but unfortunately it doesn’t really look any better than Modern Warfare [von 2019]. It felt faster for me, which is rather negative for me.
Of course, it is positive that it will be supported for two years. I still play the last three parts from time to time, but of course with new maps etc. it’s always more interesting.
Sgt.DC gives an overall positive impression and refers to the Ground War mode, which is good for him as an alternative to Battlefield 2042:
I enjoyed Ground War the most, but I’m also a Battlefield veteran. After 2042 was very disappointing, I’m in good spirits here.
