Is Hood Warfare 2 worth it?

What players like

• It feels like old Call of Duty: killstreaks, create-a-class and a familiar HUD. Of the 914 reviews we downloaded on October 13, 90 compared it to CoD and 86% of those were positive.
• It is funny. Fun or funny is the most common theme, in 212 reviews.
• The price. At $5.99 players say it is worth a few nights with friends.

What players dislike

• Reports of cheating were the most upvoted complaint at launch. An anti-cheat system arrived in patch 1.0.10 (anti-cheat).
• Spawn trapping, mentioned in 83 reviews. Spawns were adjusted in 1.0.10.
• Player-hosted matches with host changes and high ping.
• Not much content: four maps and six modes. Several reviews say it is fun for a short time.
• No voice chat at launch, added in 1.0.10.

Half of reviewers had played less than an hour when they posted, so early reviews mostly judge the first matches.

Worth it solo or with friends?

With friends it is an easy yes at this price: the chaos, the killstreaks and voice chat (added in 1.0.10) are the point, and you can fill a private match with bots. Solo in public lobbies it is more mixed: matches can include bots, player-hosted servers mean uneven ping, and cheaters were common before the anti-cheat patch. See how to play with friends.

Price, discount and where to buy

Buy it on Steam. A key sold elsewhere may be revoked, so confirm that any seller is authorized before you purchase.

Is Hood Warfare 2 offensive?

It depends on who you ask. The game is built around gang culture and dark humor, and the store page warns of violence, blood, crude humor and profanity, with a note that it does not promote real gang violence. Some outlets and players criticize it for stereotypes; many reviews treat it as satire. Germany rates it 16+, Brazil 14+.
