    Franchement c'est dans l'ensemble une catastrophe à l'heure actuelle. Déjà je précise que je ne joue pas à la campagne donc je ne prendrais pas cet aspect du jeu en considération.
    Bon alors pour ce qui est du multi tout d'abord c'est très trèèès pauvre en contenu. Seulement deux vraies nouvelles maps 6v6 en plus d la bêta et aucunes nouvelles maps 12v12 ! Aucune innovation c'est du vu et    Franchement c'est dans l'ensemble une catastrophe à l'heure actuelle. Déjà je précise que je ne joue pas à la campagne donc je ne prendrais pas cet aspect du jeu en considération.
    Bon alors pour ce qui est du multi tout d'abord c'est très trèèès pauvre en contenu. Seulement deux vraies nouvelles maps 6v6 en plus d la bêta et aucunes nouvelles maps 12v12 ! Aucune innovation c'est du vu et revu dans l'ensemble... Les spawns sont trop frustrants et pensés pour des victimes, combinés à un système de score based matchmaking qui gâche totalement l'expérience de jeu pour un joueur expérimenté comme moi. Les streaks sont cools mais mais très peu 'nombreux malheureusement. C' est très clairement l'un des pires multi que j'ai jamais vu et pourtant je joue à cod depuis longtemps. Même si le plus gros problème reste largement le sbmm il y a aussi les bugs qui sont multiples et assurent des parties très énervantes. Exemple :je suis dans un bâtiment et je meurt par un tir d'artillerie qui tombe dehors tout à fait inédit xD
    Il y a également l'invincibilité au respawn face aux streaks qui empêche de faire des carnages, les armes totalement déséquilibrées comme la mp5 ou les mitraillettes de façon générale qui tuent en une balle même de loin allez comprendre, ou encore le système "d'équilibrage" des équipes qui fait que je ne peux enchaîner indéfiniment les victoires parce qu'au bout de 3-4 games le jeu va m'obliger à me coltiner des types qui en rien à faire de l'objectif allez comprendre pourquoi. Dernier point et pas des moindres il n'y a qu'une seule map à peu prêt amusante et nerveuse c'est cartel en 12v12. Sauf que de ce fait ça oblige à tout le temps ralancer pour tomber dessus :(
    Bref rien de plaisant que de la frustration, on en ressort plus tendu que détendu !
    Sinon pour ce qui est du zombie il est vraiment sympa mais les bugs de co gâchent tout. La grande majorité des games crashent parce que l'hôte quitte la partie, qu'il y a une maj des serveurs, ou que le logo câble ethernet de 2010 apparaît xD
    C'est infernal et pourtant je précise que j'ai la fibre donc je ne comprend pas pourquoi le jeu ne me fait pas héberger la partie ou pourquoi ils n'y a toujours pas de serveurs dédiés dans ce mode de jeu. J'espère que ce sera vite corrigé mais c'est tout de même une honte de sortir un mode de jeu dans un tel état. Enfin je joue sur pc et j'ai de gros problèmes d'optimisation alors que sur le précédent opus le jeu tournait parfaitement en full élevé. J'ai vérifié sur internet et aparament je suis loin d'être le seul dans ce cas là donc bon à moins que ce soit corrigé très rapidement ça veut dire que même sur ce point là il n'y a rien à en tirer.    … Expand

    As is typical with every Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War, their unwillingness to change up the formula ruins it. Have fun with the new COD, featuring quick scoopers, wall hackers, and trash, but don't worry! New and improved non-binary choices, give me a **** break. Don't buy this absolute trash of a game.

And the kicker is there are barely any maps. This game is so broken, so not fun, and incredibly stressful. Skip this one and save your hard-earned cash. Shame on you Sledgehammer and Treyarch.

    Maybe it's Activision fault or Treyarch, I don't know, but the game is not enjoyable at ALL! It feels rushed and unfinished. Gunfight it's a coin flip. First shoot - first die. The movement it awful. And final the SBMM (Skill Based Matchmaking) gives me nightmares. It put casual players against pros... Brilliant.

Because it is the game that I think deserves the negative review bombardment. It is trash in it's current state. As of the time of writing this review I have spent 3 days and roughly 18 hours in this game.
    Where to start? SBMM? lack of content? constant crashing? Activision and Treyarch not listening to the community? Hackers? Activision helping hackers with privatising stats? Garbage hit detection? The multiplayer is awful, literally unplayable, infested with hackers if you are above a certain kdr. SBMM makes maybe 1 out of 8 games enjoyable. The content is pitiful, maps are boring. Weapons level up so god damn slow, even when there is 2 weapons XP. And you also level up very slowly, 90% after the match I get show that I've leveled up for at least two more levels than I actually have. Camo challenges still don progress and some are just plain stupid. An okay one is 5 kills without dying but then you realise the spawns are **** on every map and just when you have that 4 kills most of the time someone will spawn almost immediately behind you.
    Zombies is a relatively enjoyable mode - for some time. Then you get sick of the map. Ok Dead Ops arcade is also there, still that's not the zombies experience for most of the playerbase. Actually the only playable and replayable mode is zombies mode.
    Campaign is actually pretty damn solid. Very good, but...it lacks so much stuff. Mission 9 is still a great question to how that's even possible but I won't spoil anything.
    Sadly I'm one of those who blindly believed COD cannot be such a let down and prepurchased the game with "how bad can it be?" mindset. Very very bad. Don't buy it, don't support Activision's greed. Crack it if possible to enjoy the campaign and zombies.
    Why did I decide to give 1/10 score?
    Because of the price, the lies, the quality and the SBMM implementation itself.
    I would give this game probably 8/10 if it was 20 dollars or something like that and you got Battlepass included and all the prepurchase DLC. It's not worth more than that. I think this is where COD finally dies and I'm hoping Battlefield can take it's place again after BFV.    … Expand

    This game was so promising at release, but now I can say for certain that this game is going to get worse over time and it already has been.

    With the story mode I liked it as It wasn't long and dragged out like some of the other campaigns.

    Compared to black ops 4, I prefer the zombies in cold war to BO4 zombies. The reason why is that there is no monetization in the zombies game mode like for example, the elixirs and gobble gums. I would feel that the downside is that there is only one map and it gets repetitive replaying the same map over and over again. The map design in COLD WAR's zombies is great as it has wide open areas to train compared to BO4's narrow map design. I like the loadouts, specials, and the return of original perks..... Otherwise Its a step in the right direction.

    My problems is with everything else. Like for example, you need a constant internet connection to play every game mode like campaign and solo zombies. It does not make any sense to me and if the developers decide to shut down the servers. The end result is going to be the death of this game forever. So much for the preservation of games.

    For some reason every update for PC it ends up making the game worse with constant UI errors, glitches and crashes that make the game unplayable. I also disagree with the inclusion of modern warfare being shoehorned into the menu screen without the option of removing it. The reason I paid for this game is to play COLD WAR, not Modern Warfare. It also makes the menu screen look cluttered.

    As an old COD player, this is my first time being exposed to the "seasons/battle pass" scheme. I can say for certain its not worth the money. Because in my opinion, there really isn't a whole lot of content in it that enhances the experience as it only has COD points (I despise cod points), skins, one new character, double xp tokens, and other cosmetic items. And seeing how there was a badass trailer for stich, I thought there was going to be more added story missions but I was mislead.

    It seems like Treyarch also cares more about selling cosmetic bundles rather than releasing actual good content. These bundles are not worth the price and they are being produced at a rapid rate.... No, I am not going to pay 20$ for an character that should have been in the battle pass (honestly, go **** yourself Treyarch/activision. No, i am not going to pay 10$ -20$ for an anime gun camo for 2 guns that shoots purple tracer rounds. Its ridiculous and its infuriating because the game was perfectly fine without all these cosmetic microtransactions. It just goes to show how much corporate greed has found there way into video games.

    The final problem I wanted to talk about it the multiplayer. It lacks consistency with every gun being nerfed and buffed. The lack of maps is shocking and despite that, the games spawn system is dreadful. Every second the spawns keep on getting flipped which can be annoying. And I still get spawned killed regardless!

    Please remove SBMM

    In conclusion, I would recommend to not buy this game. The game initially can be very good and fun, but after a while it starts to become boring, repetitive, lack of content, and the addition of corporate greed that recently got shoved into the game. Seriously Treyarch/Activision? The game was fine without the microtransactions and the monetization schemes! If this is the best you can do then I don't see how anyone will stay on this game after a year. This game could have been a return to the good old COD days. But it ended up becoming a mediocre game and a missed opportunity.    … Expand

The character movement is extremely shaky and wonky, the graphics are mediocre, nearly no maps (like 10 total) and less guns total than the Machinepistol category in MW.

New guns are an insanely hard grind. For example "Kill three enemies in quick succession with the knife in multiplayer" to unlock a sledgehammer. Only thing is that every enemy drops you in 5 shots. Shotguns do less damage than even pistols. They brough player hosting back instead of Dedicated servers which leads to a lot of connection issues in an already bug infested game. All that is already bad but the worst part is, that people that play with controller have the strongest aimbot in any shooter i have ever seen. Its okay that there is one in the first place as its not easy to aim with a controller but in this game you only need to get somewhere close with your aim and it moves center mass on its own with reduced recoil. This results in aimbot behaviour people would have been reported for in Modern Warfare. If your aim isnt pro league worthy and you are on PC, forget it. To add insult to injury Playstation players also level considerably faster. Both character level and guns. Gun leveling takes forver if you arent a Playstation player.

Llevo jugando a la saga desde Cod 4 y jamás he visto un modo multijugador tan destrozado y tan descompensado, todo gracias a su SBMM( Skill Based Matchmaking), la frustración que da jugar a su modo online es desesperante, jugadores escondidos en esquinas, partidas en las que parece que estás jugando la final de un torneo o la liga de Call of Duty.

    Nunca he sido un jugador especialmente bueno, mi KD es de 1.24 y tengo la sensación a veces de estar jugando contra jugadores profesionales y mi equipo agazapado en cualquier esquina por miedo a perder su proporción o porque es gente que no concuerda con su ratio real.

    El diseño de mapas es lamentable y sumado a su SBMM se hacen insoportables, todo para beneficiar a jugadores que se esconden en cualquier esquina. Jamás estarán los Cods nuevos a la altura de MW1 y 2, Black Ops 1 y 2, juegos en los que se usaba un sistema de búsqueda de partidas por conexión y no te emparejaba por habilidad, eran partidas rápidas y para divertirse, ahora desde la salida de MW de 2019 es imposible jugar partidas rápidas porque parecen todas competitivas y llegan ha cansar y agobiar el estar todo el rato jugando de esa forma.

    La partidas rápidas son para jugar sin competir, si quiero un modo liga me uno a el y no esto, por mi parte Treyarch has perdido un jugador más mientras siga Activision apostando por éste modelo de emparejamiento y de negocio. Como veterano de la saga no os vuelvo a dar una oportunidad más y más después de sufrir el SBMM de MW y su multijugador plagado de camperos con SBMM.
    En definitiva para mí es el peor Cod que he probado en todos mis años de experiencia con la saga y lo peor es que habrá fanboys siempre que lo defenderán a pesar de todas las quejas que lleva teniendo éste título desde su Alpha, no os gastéis el dinero en este juego esa es mi recomendación    … Expand

    This game really stinks, I'm glad I sold my account because it looks like nothing really changed since the launch, Skill Based Match-Making system erases all the fun of progression.

Graphics are worse, gunplay is worse, animations are worse and the game is riddled with glitches likely never to be patched by a now soulless fan-favorite COD developer: Treyarch. This studio is responsible for making the top three best COD games ever made, which are (in descending order): Black ops, Black ops 3 and black ops 2. These incredible games were the reason I was excited for what now seems to be a lazy, pathetic sequel to an otherwise fantastic trilogy. To start the user interface is perhaps the worst in any game I've played yet, with still no option do modify audio settings without having them reset as if I hadn't. It seems that there is a missing 'apply' button, this also means that I cannot communicate in anyway with game chat, limiting me to the systen specific text chat, which console players are unable to interact with. I am also unable to host an in-game party because my status is permanently set to 'offline' for whatever reason, meaning nobody can join me, nor can they accept an invite, which would only do nothing. Furthermore, I've experienced plenty of crashes, a plethora of connectivity issues (which in the zombies gamemode will result in a seemingly instant death after reconnection), UI overlapping issues and far too much more to list. As for the gameplay; The Campaign featured even more terrible issues; AI teammates would constantly get stuck in place, forcing me to restart an unfun, underdeveloped level with floating objects and poor enemy placement, which would prove an immeasurable nuisance on the 'realism' difficulty, which would require me to constantly replay checkpoints after an unavoidable, scripted 3+ enemies would shoot at me at the same time causing an instant death. Levels were clearly not play tested on higher difficulties. The multiplayer is just as bad, with the game using 20hz servers meaning that many shots dont even register. For reference PUBG (remember that game?) uses 60hz servers. There are plenty of underpowered and overpowered guns to never be balanced because Treyarch clearly just doesnt care anymore, and it painful to watch. I'm tired of writing, so I'm gonna dumb it down a bit. The maps are **** gunplay is **** (especially sniper ADS). zombies is not good either. Its definitely the best part of the game, but that's not saying much. Cold war zombies is better than Black ops 4, but hasn't got **** on Black ops 3, which is the best possible zombies experience you can have across all call of duties. In conclusion this piece of **** is an overpriced, underdeveloped, unloved by its parents, disappointment that I am embarrassed to have paid $100 (AUD) for. Now that were on the topic of price, what the **** is up with that? Every other game on pc is like $80 max now! Even triple A games. Why the **** does this piece of **** game cost so much? Also black ops 1 on steam is $50 and it came out 10 years ago. Lower the ****ing price and people would actually buy them for nostalgia you ****ing corporate retards. You're paying such a high price when a third of the game isnt even active anymore (multiplayer) **** this game.… Expand

    Its garbage. Almost. It looks like a whole new franchise based on Cold War times, but it has nothing to do with real Black Ops 1 game that many people still remember and play. Cold War is a game for soyboys, with fancy music, that has nothing to do with somewhat industrial cold ambient of BO1, and Cold War is also a dramatically raw product. In every way, basically. There are only 5 assault rifles, 5 smgs, 3 lmgs, 3 pistols and ONLY TWO shotguns in this game right now. Year 2020. No comments. Only 8 maps are availiable, some of them lag so hard that on minimal settings game runs in 50 fps, showing graphics of Far Cry 3 or Warface at the same minimal option. Game is absolutely unoptimized, also i should mention that with my headset everything sounds very quiet, although i tried all sound presets that were availiable.
    TTK is very strange and looks like someone wanted to make all-in-one game called like "Call of Playerunknown's Battlefield". You can very rarely kill 2 or 3 people at once, its just impossible and your reaction means nothing. Skill based matchmaking is also a big problem, but i cant say much about that because havent played enough, probably. Your guns fly all over the screen, feels like your operator has strong epilepsy... All i can say is that Cold War looks like a Black Ops caricature, its just raw and somewhat stupid to play. Its like playing something between mobile arcade clone of CoD, PUBG and Far Cry 3, but in 50-60 fps and ten years old graphics.
    But I still believe in 3arch and hope they fix these massive problems, because the basic concept of the game is fantastic.    … Expand

    The game has not gotten better since the season, that was a week late started. In fact the season only further enhanced the issues with the game. There is clearly no hack prevention because it us absolutely rampant. Especially now that they opened up Trial Accounts. Optimization for RTX is dumpster.

With very few maps and a small selection of guns compared to previous entries in the series, there just isn't enough variety to give any reason to keep playing. There is a promise of post-launch content, but this feels like it should've been part of release with how little to do there is in this game. Lastly, why is just the act of trying to party up with friends so horrendously broken? 90% of the time I try to play with friends we get some sort of error, and the amount of times we've lost a party member upon loading into a game is just annoying.

The guns are also horribly unbalanced, for every gun class, you only see a small group of guns that rule the kill feed, the Krig 6, MP5, Galio (or Spas-12), MAC-10, AUG, and the M16, it's stupid how good they get when you level them up, they can kill you before you can even get a shot off and knowing the Cold War servers, you won't even see them.

    Now the Zombies, one map on release, really. It baffles my mind how they came up with one map for this gamemode, it was and still is a staple of the Black Ops series and i don't know how you **** it up, I know they and to change studios half way through and COVID, well, you know what happened there, but I really wouldn't care if this game took a couple more months to come out. On top of all this, you can't even get the ending most of the time because of countless glitches.

    The only slightly redeeming quality is the campaign, it's good, but not that good, it feels like a Black Ops campaign, but done by someone who was only told what a Black Ops campaign is, and they didn't even get the original voice actors for Woods and Mason.

    Extras I don't really feel like getting into:
    Graphics feel like a step down for Modern Warfare 2019.
    Sound effects are not as gritty or real as MW.
    Wall banging reduces your bullet damage by 99.99% even if it's 1" thick plywood because why the **** not.
    Speaking of wall banging, sometimes you can't even wall bang 1" thick plywood. Perfect example, the windows on Nuketown, try wall banging them, I dare you.

    The Singleplayer, **** great, dont get me wrong, but OH BOY the MP...literally the worst i ever played. Firstly: Maps suck. There are maybe 4 maps that are good, half of which are returning maps like Nuketown and Raid. Gamemodes besides the standard quickplay modes are trash. Who wants to play VIP? Should be renamed to "Camp", likewise with Dirty Bomb, which should be "Camp on a big map".The Singleplayer, **** great, dont get me wrong, but OH BOY the MP...literally the worst i ever played.

Yeah you can lierally only camp, because well...either youre getting sniped (Snipers are pretty OP) or killed by a shotgun on like 150 meter. Then, we have weapons in general...not much to say here, you got a sniper-lmg, a assault rifle-smg, a MP that shootes farther than a sniper...just COD-standard. Perks...theres only perk greed, then you take the perks which make grenades and tactical grenades useless, then youre good to go. Scorestreaks are nothing out of the ordinary. The Maps have a weird tendency to just spawnswitch 1 or 2 persons, making them spawn with all enemys, OR, if your spawn is being camped, its not switching at all! Again mapdesign sucks! The games then crashes frequently, framedrops, etc. Just a 2020 game, buggy and unfinished. Wallhacks are abundant, i got lobbys that had hackers frequently, like killing the whole lobby, seeing through things, lagswitches are back(?what the f?), aimbots, etc. Then they start to patch things. Making some weapons worse over night, changing matchmaking (making it even worse). When im done leveling the Battle-Pass season 1, i will uninstall this piece of trash.

    So I love to snipe, this game has made it damn near un-enjoyable to snipe. I get 5 kills in quick succession for a clip and I get massive score boosts.

My lobbies feel unplayable, I've got guys smoking lanes to cross.. in PUBS!!. It's madness. I'm good at the game and can easily get a decent KD but I don't want to sweat or do any of that.

    This game funnels you into a narrow route of, "if you don't sweat this game, you'll lose" and the lobbies are just no where near balanced. I feel so bad for younger people, when i was 14 I played MW2 and that's a call of duty game!. You should be able to sit down and relax, ye maybe have a bad game or maybe a couple but you should be able to pop off now and again!. We have this attitude that we need to give everyone a reward and be fair to all!. It's madness, reward those who put the effort and time in, make people WANT to improve themselves.

And this is all thanks to Activi$ion and the    TLDR: Game is riddled with bugs, poor gameplay and scummy monetisation design choices all aimed to squeeze as much money out of players as possible.

    The game that killed COD for me. MW had plenty of issues but the gunplay was great. I had high hopes for CW but from bugs to gameplay issues to poor design choices I'm done with the franchise. And this is all thanks to Activi$ion and the devs.

    Bugs Galore.
    I can think of 5 bugs just in the menus alone - Post game breakdowns sometimes don't load, glitches in the gun attachment screen, challenges sometimes dont track, glitches preventing parties from joining a game. Even graphical overlay slop that sometimes covers text. It's a sloppy, amateur mess. All indicative of a terrible rush job of a dev cycle and total lack of care. If the devs can't even program the menu's properly what hope do they have with the actual game. Activi$ion rake in billions from this franchise and they cant even hire devs to fix the menus.

    Missing content described as free season content.
    This disgusting practice means you pay full price and get an incomplete game. On release 6 multiplayer maps, a short campaign. Critical missing features like the ability to save custom gun blueprints are still missing. No doubt we'll get the rest of the game soon but marketed by Activi$ion as "free" content. Absolutely disgusting.

    SBMM
    Activi$ion not content on making a billion dollars (What's better than a billion? Billions). Pushed hard for an ultra aggressive SBMM. The theory is newbies will have an easier time as they are supposedly matched to players of equal skill. The easier it is for newbies to get into the game. And the more attractive the game is the more people will buy the game and the more money Activi$ion make from micro transactions.

    This theory then invades the rest of the game design choices like ultra aggressive aim assist for pad players so they can compete with PC players.

    Then there's the map design - plenty of camping spots because supposedly that's what newbies like to do. It is not enjoyable to walk into a room scan all 101 possible camping locations but then dying because you didn't scan the 102nd camping location. Rinse and repeat as you run through the map. It is a chore to play half these maps. There's a reason why the old maps are so beloved and the devs know this but do they care? Nope, they already have your money and Activi$ion wants the $$$.

    I have no issue catering to new players but what they have done here is at the detriment of the game as a whole.

    Dishonourable mentions go to:
    Poor visibility - I cannot see s*** half the time! But hey it helps the newbies camp.
    Scorestreaks - Good system yet implemented so poorly that players are rewarded for killing more than they do for playing the map objective. So NO ONE plays the objective.

    Thanks Activi$ion and Treyarch I hope your franchise rots to pieces.    … Expand

    From the beginning this game seems promising. Once again maps will be free, the cold war setting is actually semi interesting, and you know the gunplay will be smooth. The campaign starts out pretty good. I actually caught myself stopping to admire my surroundings in many of the areas. Multiplayer started off feeling pretty smooth as well.

    The problems set in when you remember that    From the beginning this game seems promising. Once again maps will be free, the cold war setting is actually semi interesting, and you know the gunplay will be smooth. The campaign starts out pretty good. I actually caught myself stopping to admire my surroundings in many of the areas. Multiplayer started off feeling pretty smooth as well.

    The problems set in when you remember that this is a Call of Duty game and for every step forward they take they either refuse to fix an old issue, improve outdated mechanics, or just shoot themselves in the foot with **** like their overly aggressive skill based match making.

    Skill Based Match Making or SBMM for short is a novel idea. Setting players up against other players of a similar skill level seems fair enough. However the issue sets in when the lobbies take forever to find players of a similar skill level, you get good enough to be in lobbies where everyone has to be perspiring profusely 24/7, and all the fun of playing around with new guns is thrown out the window. Instead you get players constantly camping to move ahead and sticking to predetermined metas. When everyone is using the same handful of weapons with the exact same builds the game's sense of wonder and exploration in its mechanics quickly falls apart. I quickly found myself in lobbies where playing aggressively even started being punished as full teams would post up in one spot and snipe you from a head glitch.

    Head glitching is yet another issue. It is the weird phenomenon in the older games where when you crouch next to a wall only your forehead can be seen over the wall. Yet somehow the gun behind the wall can still shoot you with no decrease in damage from shooting through the concrete wall or decreased accuracy from being shot through that same wall. Instead the developers have decided to act like this is some pro level skill only long time players and pros can pull off. When in reality it is just some horse **** that they refused to fix when it originally showed up in like Call of Duty 2 back in 2005. Yeah over 15 years ago.

    Let's continue now into the spawns and overall connectivity. For years Call of Duty games have given players this weird peaks and valleys gameplay. Where sometimes you feel like you are on some god like streak and then the next 5 games its like your bullets mid magezine turn into blanks. Maybe every 3 or 4 rounds just doesn't hit. Then you have the shot guns that supposedly have bullet spread, yet can't get your a hit marker when the enemy is trying to drink from the end of your barrel like the shotgun is a straw in their favorite big gulp beverage after they spent 3 days with no water in the desert. Instead shot guns are now expected to be used like sniper riffles forcing you to have precision aim as if bullet spread doesn't truly exist. If we are going for this approach to shot guns then distance allowed for a one hit kill and consistency in bullet damage should be taken into consideration right? Nah... Snipers suffer from a similar inconsistency where at times you will blast someone in the head and receive no hit marker what so ever. Other times you feel like your shot is way off and hitting way too low on the opponents hit box that it couldn't in any way actually hit them. Yet, bang, there is your one hit kill.

    Last, but not least the spawns. I can not count how many times I would be walking out of the spawn only to get shot in the back as the spawns swapped at the exact moment I got to pop back into existence. I understand being flanked, but this was just a spawn swap inconsistency. Yet similarly I have also had countless times of walking through a large open space, turning to go the other way, and somehow magically an enemy is right behind me. As if they were there the whole time. Yet no enemy was on my screen or caught on my UAV. I know there are perks to stop the UAV from picking up your position. However, the frequency of this happening within my experiences and the way it was happening further tells me that something on the networking end for the game is not quite keeping up pace regardless of my high end PC's capabilities and fairly speedy internet.

    Long story short; TLDR. I think revisiting this time period was a smart choice as the future and modern aesthetic of these games has just, become bland. It was a back drop for the story and nothing else. The Cold War timing and theming is just more interesting and novel. Graphically this may not be a powerhouse, but has its moments of beauty and wonder within the campaign. Sadly that didn't carry over well into the multiplayer section where maps once again feel so cluttered and haphazard. They play alright, flow isn't bad, mechanics just hinder the experience, and the clutter tends to make every map feel like the developers were rushed and didn't know how best to fill the space.

    Other than theming and beauty of some of the environments within the campaign the game is just another Call of Duty.    … Expand

    Soy jugador desde los primeros Call of Duty, despues de muchos años, la saga se ha corrompido ha tantos niveles, que es muy triste, porque era una gran saga de juegos

    Una optimizacion que roza lo lamentable en todas las maquinas, es ridículo que una maquina que puede mover horizon zero dawn, days gone o sekiro todo a máximo, no puede mover bien un FPS, ridículo. Gráficos muy buenos,    Soy jugador desde los primeros Call of Duty, despues de muchos años, la saga se ha corrompido ha tantos niveles, que es muy triste, porque era una gran saga de juegos

    Gráficos muy buenos, lo unico que evita el 0 la verdad

    Multijugador o multilag, porque las partidas van mal en el mejor de los casos y sin nombrar a los niños rata que son una plaga

    Lootboxes y demas de pago, el verdadero alma del juego, ni la hisoria, ni el modo zombis(que es multijugador, manda huevos), no es el pago contante y abusivo    … Expand

    Game is broken ! Lot of bugs ! The theme is good but so few modes, maps and guns make the Multiplayer repetitive , don´t waste your time with this crap , feels like a plastic downgrade compared with COD MW !

    Before I begin, let me just say I purchased the game 3 hours ago and already refunded the game on release of season 1.

    Ho boy, let start with my very first impression after installing the multiplayer. So Christmas themed Nuketown and Raid had JUST released when I hopped on and IMMEDIATELY the update released without the actual maps being included for PC players, kicking them out of every game they joined on the new maps (Zed 398 Swift Clover error). Already an AWFUL start, so I tried the base game maps and loaded into Miami domination and the side with the pool was ATROCIOUS. I went from 170+ fps with an i9-9900k and 2080 to 4 fps when even looking in the direction of the spawn with the pool area, in fact it crashed my entire pc. Afterwards I tried zombies and it wasn't anything like the trailers led me to believe it would be, in a bad bad way. The zombies mode in that game felt like a souped up version of the side modes in BO4 zombies which also wasn't good. It feels more like an first person version of Dead Ops than an actual Treyarch zombies mode, even AW zombies was a better mode in delivering a zombies experience. The actual guns in the game are a MAJOR downgrade from Modern Warfare, everything sounds the same and like plastic and don't look nearly as good as their MW counterparts. They also feel fairly weak, they don't feel or sound like they have any power behind any shots even when using a shotgun. The only reason I gave this game a 1/10 is that it actually successfully booted up on my PC.    … Expand

    Terrible servers, battle pass, wacky maps, and SBMM make this game a terrible buy at any price above -70%.

    I am not son of somebody that throws money at me (nothing bad about being one, lucky you), so i had to spend half of my monthly salary (earned by working my ass off) in oreder to get a 2060 RTX on my PC, later in time i decided to buy Call of Duty: Cold War and guess what? game runs like absolute dog s**t.
    Enough is enough, this game is not worth a 2000+$ machine to run it;

    It has average graphics and effects which are poorly optimized.
    I guess AAA in this case stands for triple ass.    … Expand

    What feature, or lack thereof, would compel a Call of Duty fan to buy or skip a new entry at this point? It plays fine, and it’s the most recent one. That’s usually enough.

    Overall, I love the old-school feels of Black Ops in Cold War and I love the storyline. All of the modes are fun to play and offer a lot for old players and new players alike. It is fun to get back into the action with players from all consoles and on PC to make the action that much better with cross-play. There are some issues with multiplayer that will seemingly never go away but such is life for an online multiplayer game.

    The question of whether to pick up Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War on the PC is situational, despite it being a solid title. If you're the type of player who likes the campaigns that each entry brings forth, then you'll be fine with Cold War. The branching paths of the short campaign give it some replayability beyond simply increasing the difficulty. Fans of Zombies mode will also be fine, even though it suffers from having only one map (for now) and a PlayStation-exclusive mode that'll be unavailable on the PC for a year. Multiplayer fans are in more of a pickle. If you're tired of the maps in the prominently featured Modern Warfare but want traditional modes, then this is perfect, especially since the cross-play feature is going strong and there are people on both the last- and next-generation platforms ensuring the game gets a healthy shelf life. If you're primarily a Warzone player, you aren't going to bother with this one, since that free-to-play game is getting Cold War elements soon to keep it fresh.
