Dec 15, 2020+- ok campaign, the worst everything (just as usual Treyarch). They can't make games, why the **** do morons from Activion task them so..? Huge step down from last year's WM reboot. Gunplay is just proper plastic **** ttk is massive **** also, maps are the worst (as usual Treyach). Only **** like Black Ops frach.

Dec 8, 2020The pc optimization is complete garbage. The graphics you get for the system it takes to run the game even at 1440p is horrible. I’m using a 3090 at 3440x1440 and consistently drop below 60 fps. Glad I got this game for free otherwise I’d be REALLY pissed off. Just a reminder of why I don’t buy these garbage games anymore.

Dec 19, 2020This Game is even worse than Mw2019. So much buggs, SBBM, worst Mapdesign ever.. i can't say any positive Word to this Game. Activision really ruined COD.
-
Mar 29, 2021Too many bugs and glitches, worst cod multiplayer ever. spawn system is awful.

Apr 24, 2021Стрельба хуже чем в MW (2019) очередной конвейер чему удивляться дадададада

Dec 17, 2020BIG downgrade from Modern Warfare. The gameplay and animations feel strange and look awful.
-
Apr 11, 2021Game looks good. Pros stop there. This terrible cash grab of a game is just a big meme. And you paid $60 for it. Server tick rates and pings are a joke. And the trolls that play this trash can of a game are not less funny. Call of Duty needs to take their shooter serious or just stop pumping garbage out of their studios. We NEED a solid competitor to put this dead cow to pasture....

Dec 3, 2020The Beta ran fine. I had a lot of fun with the exception of the terrible maps with spawn killing that you never seem to learn from. Had a blast on Zombies. The final release ran pretty well. Suddenly overtime it started running like trash. I tried everything to fix it, but the game officially runs like trash on my computer for no reason. I feel like I was lured in and then **** over. **** you.

Nov 29, 2020Worst cod ever
Descend campaign
It's horrible, don't waste your money and time on that **** -
Nov 29, 2020SBMM ruins yet another title. When will developers learn it's not what the people want. In future I'll refrain from buying call of duty games until I hear SBMM is gone.
-
Nov 30, 2020Short unfinished campaign
Skill based matchmaking sucks so much
Only 8 launch maps with 8 mods and stupid perks.
Dont waste money on this game! -
Nov 30, 2020El multijugador es lo único que me interesa de los COD, el mismo tiene mucho input lag al apuntar. El SBMM, el diseño de los mapas, los micrófonos de campo y el sonido hacen que el juego sea extremadamente camper (casi como battlefield 5).
Hay muchas rachas en la segunda parte de los juegos(cambio de bandos) pues cualquiera las puede sacar -

Dec 2, 2020Maybe it's Activision fault or Treyarch, I don't know, but the game is not enjoyable at ALL! It feels rushed and unfinished.
-
Dec 3, 2020RIP Cod, very bad game! Remove SBM! My first cod was mw2. This game is dead. Only family fathers and camper
-
Dec 3, 2020The problems with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War!
- SBMM
- Connectivity issues (especially in zombie mode)
- Weapon balance problems
- less content like maps and unlockables.
It feels unfinished and boring... -
Dec 3, 2020Game is bad and unfinished,zombies is not even a COD zombies anymore Campaign is 4 hours,multiplayer is soo unbalanced and campy like modern warfware, got SBMM(skill based matchmaking) got 6 multiplayer and 1 zombies map and it costs 60€ this game is by far the worst COD i have ever played(and yes i played all of them) and the hitreg is **** then f2p games
-
Dec 3, 2020Das Spiel kann man nicht mehr spielen. Black Ops Cold War Zombie das kann man noch spielen
-
Dec 4, 2020This game isn't worth a penny! I'm playing COD for years now and this one is the worst i've ever played. Weapons are super unbalanced, the spawnsystem is broken ( spawning in front of enemies, Not once.. no, multiple times! ). Buggy matchmaking, lost connections... Don't buy it
-
Dec 4, 2020Where to start, Terrible movement, aim down sight action is crap, game visuals are good but the rest why did they release this game. Absolute garbage. I wish I could get a refund.
-
Dec 4, 2020This game is super laggy and it's all SBMM's fault, it's not well optimized for pc and it has a lack of content in every aspect. I tried to get a refund but they don't want to do it!!! IT'S NOT FAIR!!!! I'm pissed off!

Dec 8, 2020So many bugs. Just another money hungry company cranking out garbage. Even after some patches the bigs seem endless. They should really test their games better.

Dec 11, 2020I would like to leave a legitimate review but I cant play the damn game. Every time I die the game crashes and I cant get a refund because the fact that I pre-ordered It and my beta playtime stop me refunding it.
-
Dec 11, 2020Matchmakesystem is **** dude, i played 3 games. After 3 games I was only destroyed, it's not fun at all
-
Dec 12, 2020This game is trash. I can’t believe that the developers haven’t had any issues with this game as they trying it out. I can’t stand the players. It’s to far to be a call of duty title i hope they change it to nothing to call to.

Dec 15, 2020The only good thing in the game is zombies and campaign, don't touch multiplayer it is the most broken garbage cod game in a long time. I made an account on the website just to give it a negative score.

Dec 17, 2020I know you probably are going to see this coming but sbmm ruins the games for long time fans and punishes you for playing good. This system feels much more aggressive that mw 2019 sbmm. Also the maps (except for raid) are complete garbage. This game was rushed and it fells more like a $15 game than a $60 game

Dec 18, 2020Trivial and repetitive campaign.
Multiplayer problems of various kinds unacceptable for a game that has been out for 20 years now
Fun zombie mode -

Dec 18, 2020SBMM is **** broken, one time i'll be going pretty good, and the game after that I get stomped on by sweaty players. I understand SBMM is making Activision rich, but how it stands it is fluctuating way too much, making the half of the games I play unenjoyable. Campaign and zombies is pretty good, but you pay the 60 bucks primarily for the multiplayer.

Dec 18, 2020This is a disgrace..... it seems like Cold War is only selling because of its integration with Warzone. This game feels like it has been made 10 years ago. Controls are clunky, every weapon feels similar and feel like they have no punch. Treyarch Wake Up! Don’t release and sell a unfinished game.
-
Dec 19, 2020An authentic **** Impossible to play multiplayer! The guns, the maps, everything is unbalanced. A disaster. And the Warzone combined feels like we don´t want mess the two distint guns and games. I´m sad and i want my money back
-
Dec 19, 2020Thank you for damaging modern warfare activision, good **** marketing move, skip this one guys. Do it for bo4, do it for cold war, do it for better games.

Aug 17, 2021The game is unplayable. Can not get into a game that is starting fresh. Only get put into games that are completely one sided, only get put into hopeless to win matches because Activision doesn't have pride in anything they make. All due to developer incompetance.

Apr 10, 2021In my opinion, the worst part of Call of duty. Developers don't know what game optimization is. Online is just 0. It's just a propaganda game
-
Apr 17, 2021If I was asked to describe the games in two words, it would be so.
Sh*t monument -
Apr 24, 2021The only positive thing about this game are the Zombies, it pales in comparison to MW's multiplayer...
-
May 3, 2021Concept art and environments: Nice!: --- Operators: Some are pretty good, like Adler, Woods, Park, Wraith... others.. IDK --- Campaign: Nice! -- Zombie mode: Nice! -- Multiplayer: Awful! ( Unbalanced maps, poor guns variety, hellish re spawn system, and the movement mechanics feels like a step back on the saga)... MW still better in my opinion.

-
Jul 2, 2021I finally made a metacritic account for this game alone. Buggy unfinished cash grab!
So glad I didn't buy this (unless you count a GPU code as buying). After the last COD I thought the series would be good but this is your typical on rails 2005 crud. Do NOT spend money on this chossy cash in game. After putting in 8 hours I'll go back to the old one thanks. -

Sep 2, 2021This is clearly a huge downgrade from modern warfare. From very noticeable thing like poor graphics and animations to details like clunky sounds and a cartoony look, this game is closer to fortnite than to an actual call of duty game. It is because of this game that I'm going for battlefield this year. Don't buy it

Sep 26, 2021Какое же это дерьмо, желаю тем, кто ввел в серию игр CoD балансер SBMM смерти их мамаш-проституток.
-
Oct 5, 2021Nah. Just nah. Backwards from MW. It's more arcadey, characters feel light, animations feel like an older game.
-
Oct 30, 2021The round starts, someone comes around the corner with the Shotgun Pistol, Aimt doesn't press once and you're dead. You respawn right in front of an enemy who shoots you in the back. The game is just no fun. Don't buy it!

Mar 20, 2022In a game where multiplayer is the main focus, if the multiplayer system is messed up, it means the game is ruined.
-
Apr 7, 2022Lies, propaganda, dirt, hypocrisy and many other disadvantages. It is high time to forget a series of these games, and stop dishonoring with new parts, but no one is going to turn off the machine of gaming propaganda.
-
Feb 26, 2022Campaign is meh, too many little cucks camping in multiplayer, and the only thing good about this game is the zombies mode. If you like mp, play mw2019 or plutonium.

Sep 13, 2022Worst story mode in CoD universe. Game mechanics are still good but story was worst part of the game.
It took 6 hours to finish. I already tried to finish all multiple choices. I spent 60$..
10$ per hour. It "must" be a joke! Please refund peoples money which is played in story mode. -

-
Aug 25, 2023A pretty average fps, stuck within the terrible user interface that has become the modern warfare game center.
Story was mediocre. Game mechanics are clunky and even worse in multiplayer.
I tried to refund but it was too late. Don't waste your $ on this lazy cash grab.

Jan 27, 2021What 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.
-
Jan 13, 2021Overall, 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.

Jan 4, 2021The 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.
