    No es un mal juego; los gráficos son fantásticos, los ambientes variados y la tematización y ambientación de la época es fantástica, desde la música, ropas, hasta los temas de la guerra fría, todo está presente de una manera detallada y bien realizada, sin embargo, en los detalles de la jugabilidad y en los temas técnicos éste es un juego con muchos aspectos inferiores a su predecesorNo es un mal juego; los gráficos son fantásticos, los ambientes variados y la tematización y ambientación de la época es fantástica, desde la música, ropas, hasta los temas de la guerra fría, todo está presente de una manera detallada y bien realizada, sin embargo, en los detalles de la jugabilidad y en los temas técnicos éste es un juego con muchos aspectos inferiores a su predecesor (Modern Warfare 2019).

    La campaña es corta, tiene temas y personajes bastante buenos, muchos que vuelven desde las sagas posteriores de Call of Duty, pero en cierto modo se siente como si la campaña no estuviese terminada, comienza muy bien y parece tener una buena trama y de pronto comienza a introducir decisiones del diseño bastante extrañas, por ejemplo, tienen un área base que francamente termina siendo completamente innecesaria, en ésta área uno puede revisar pruebas y detalles de cada misión lo cual en un principio es interesante, pero después parece ser algo que se pudo desarrollar de una mejor manera, y francamente, termina pareciendo como si mucho de eso esta ahí en forma de lecturas y demás para prolongar artificialmente la longitud de la experiencia.

    Hay dos misiones secundarias en el juego, pero terminan siendo sumamente básicas, tanto por los objetivos, así como por la trama de cada misión, se trata de implementar aspectos de investigación bastante básicos y muchos de ellos dependientes de secretos que uno pueda coleccionar en otras misiones, sin embargo, estas investigaciones secundarias terminan siendo completamente opcionales.

    Al final hay un buen giro y se te dan unas buenas decisiones, pero en general esta era una campaña que prometía mas de lo que dio.

    El multijugador es definitivamente la experiencia mas negativa y en donde se nota cada vez mas el impacto, si en la campaña tuve problemas técnicos en una misión que me forzó hasta disminuir la dificultad del juego para sobrellevar ese error, el multijugador en cambio ofrece muy pocos modos de juego, así como de armas y de mapas en comparación con Modern Warfare 2019.

    Si juegas modo local o privado, básicamente te reducen el modo de juego a solo una porción de los mapas disponibles para el juego, después hubo actualizaciones que añadió mapas y armas, pero no fueron lo suficientemente bien implementadas para hacer que las armas funcionaran en los modos locales o privados…

    El modo zombi en comparación es decente pero también tiene errores técnicos, un mapa en particular que tiene un concepto bastante bueno termina pareciendo incompleto en su diseño, los gráficos no están muy bien detallados y termina siendo algo que claramente uno puede ver fue “secundario” para los diseñadores.
    Lo que lo salva un poco es como esta estructurado, si el modo antes era un modo de supervivencia sin mas fin que el de ver cuanto uno podía sobrevivir, aquí se añadieron armas, sistemas de progreso, y también la oportunidad de escapar de los mapas para recolectar muchos de tus puntos y recompensas, estos son buenos sistemas que están bien implementados, solo desearía que los mapas fueran más variados y que hubiesen mas de ellos.

    En general creo que Cold War pudo haber hecho más, todo se siente deliberadamente incompleto, como si de alguna forma se hubiese intentado dar menos y menos de lo que se dio en Modern Warfare, lo cual es una pena por que si se hubiese utilizado mas de la calidad del Modern Warfare 2019, entonces podría haberse aprovechado más la temática de la guerra fría.    … Expand

    Good graphics, normal plot, as a some kind of fan-fiction on historical events. It has some interesting game-play mechanics, but still has those problems that have another games of that franchise... it's still a line-shooter and no more. Not bad side-quests. Very bad multiplayer.

    This game is not bad but not great, too much live service, Activision seriously needs their eyes opened but it's not going to happen because they just need to make as much money as possible. I'll play this but not all the time, I'll mostly be sticking to world at war through black ops 3.

    Campaigns are just movies (but bad ones) with uninspired gameplay like always. Just don't bother.

    I don't really care about the multiplayer mode. Nothing ground-breaking, like always (which isn't necessarily a bad thing if we take a look at Vanguard)

    The zombie mode is actually okay. Not good but okay.

    The good things:

    A bit more weapon balance in comparison to older COD's zombie modes.
    The movement feels nice. Vaulting over things is fun. Reminds me a tiny little bit of Mirror's Edge.
    The animations in general and the gunplay is nice.
    The maps look nice with much love to detail (for example german words everywhere that also make sense)

    Neutral:
    A tiny step back to the roots perk wise.
    Exfiltration is a nice idea, albeit not really with much variety

    Neutral-Meh:
    The weapons' shot sounds seem a bit cheap, but okay enough.

    The bad stuff:
    The weapon rarity system is unnecessary and boring. It adds no depth to the game. It's just there to add another layer of randomness and that's about it.
    The streaks are uninspired and just copied from multiplayer.
    The characters are uninspired and just copied from multiplayer/campaign. There are no characters that are created for zombies with nice dialogues that move the plot and story forward. There is no banter between the characters. They are just empty shells.
    Less quests and shorter easter eggs.
    Attachments are random just for the sake of adding another layer of randomness.
    Zombies dropping loot doesn't seem to fit in this type of game. I liked the old system were you had to choose your loadout before starting a game.
    New point system seem to encourage egoistic behaviour.
    Gauntled mode got ditched for the utterly braindead and incredibly boring onslaught mode.
    Story that could have been gameplay or at least interactive script sequences (similar to Titanfall 2, Portal, SOMA or Half-Life) are cutscenes. It's stupid. Stop that! Interactive script sequences in first person perspective that don't completely take control away are fine, but cutscenes are lazy.

    Its CoD like every year more or less though for me originally the interest came with the zombie mode when the first advertised outbreak in season 2 which was something new a fresh to the zombie mode which has been present in many of the Black Ops games. Long story short if you like the zombie modes then i can recommend this one since it really has a lot of Innovation this time aroundIts CoD like every year more or less though for me originally the interest came with the zombie mode when the first advertised outbreak in season 2 which was something new a fresh to the zombie mode which has been present in many of the Black Ops games. Long story short if you like the zombie modes then i can recommend this one since it really has a lot of Innovation this time around together with a full progression system, as for the campaign, its big and flashy and kinda weird but overall fun for a few hours certainly not the worst campaign in CoD history.

    Now the biggest part most people play CoD, the multiplayer.
    I didnt play much of it and from what i saw and i dont think i will play it again any times soon.
    While the movement is fun and fast paced unlike MW 2019 there are just so many issues with it
    crashes, instability both client sided and server sided even months after release, still struggles with hackers and glitchers, the weapons are unbalanced as there are a handful that stick out as being the best and the rest most of the time is utterly useless and that new SBMM system only works half the time seeming more random then calculated based on stats. Overall this is not a great example of a CoD MP, i would wait for the new one or go back to the older ones before it unless you are only in it for the zombies.    … Expand

    This was my first call of duty game. Honestly it's pretty good but it's hard for me to enjoy the game when the bots play like they have never receive military training before. The zombie mode was confusing, really hard for new players to get into. The graphics are good.

    its activision mistake

    The only thing that the devs do it right is a fun zombies game better than black ops 4 in my opinion i will give it 6 points for good short story and a great zombies mode cod should never deserve the full price    … Expand

    Follows Modern Warfare's engine and Season Pass concept
    The fact that you can buy 'upgraded' weapons (instead of plain skins) is a bit rubbish.
    Storyline offers something new, being more paced but still actions scenes present. Giving you a lot of freedom to play the way you want too, almost giving some aspects of an RPG that you wouldn't normally expect from a CoD game.

    Multiplayer still seems bare, however the pandemic will have had an effect. Needs more maps, however returning to NukeTown is awesome.

    I'd recommend it on sale, maybe not for full price unless you're invested to play the game.
    Graphics look nice but can also be reduced to awful looking (for those of us with lesser rigs).

    Zombies is supposed to be good, however not so much my cup of tea personally.

The game looks decent, the guns sound and look alright but there's something going on with the optimization. At least for PC version I've heard and experienced sudden FPS drops and bad rendering. I've played the game since day 1 and I have to admit it was really bad then. It got better but there are times where the game feels unplayable. Altough problems people had with crashes has been solved for the most part and the game almost never brakes. The multiplayer is another story, probably the most awaited feature of BOCW for the majority of people that didn't like MW19 multiplayer. It really is a dissapointment. It came back with a call of duty style that series established and made fans fall in love with yet it doesn't change much from a previous entry and at times may even feel like a downgrade. The amazing MW gunsmith type weapon customization has been butchered by a genreic and barely useful attachments. And this is what hurts me the most. Because this especially feels like a downgrade. The maps are controversional. I personally love that they finally stopped going only for formulaic, 3 laned map design. Some people might hate it but I'd rather have unique and thought out maps with a couple of really bad ones than all of them being generic and feel the same. Settings are kind of basic but there's few maps which do well in this category (satelite or miami for example). In terms of guns and balance the game does pretty good. Almost every category of weapons is viable and every player stands on the fair ground. Let's now shift our focus to the "side modes". Campaign is amazing. Very unique settings for all the mission. Objectives are unique. You can make unique choices. Another amazing COD campaign which is a great thing. I've always enjoyed playing those first to prepare myself for mutliplayer experience and feel how the game plays. They've put a lot of thought into this story and you can clearly see it. My only complain is how short the campaign is. There's only 9 missions, and that's including only 2 optional mission which you can't attempt unless you collected certain things throughout other missions. Zombies are amazing. it's a completely new take on a Zombies mode. It feels like a reboot to be honest. For some people it might not be what they were looking for because it completely changes the old cod zombies formula. It's run and gun mode which I understand some people might find tedious rather than enjoyable. But I myself had a lot of fun with it and it's probably the best part of the whole game. There's a lot more objectives to be done than in previous games and you can acutally create your own class. In summary is the game bad? I wouldn't say so. Is the game great? Wouldn't say that either. It does things well and bad. It also depends. If you're going to play all modes including zombies, campaign and mutliplayer then yeah go for it. But if you're only interested in multiplayer then you'll be better off just buying MW or waiting for the next game. Thanks for reading.… Expand

Because after you go to play the campaign its like, nah you gotta download it, heres part one… that’s right part one… youll play a mission in this joke of a campaign and then its like oh you nee to download part 2 now, heres another 26gb patch ontope of the 20 you just downloaded, but it doesn’t stope there, theres another 20 gb part 3.. .thats right.. nearly 70 GB patched in for not even 4 hour long campaign. That they couldn’t just put on the disc… downloading multiplayer and zombies makes sense because its primarily online.. but a 4 hour long campaign, it’s a joke…
    I for one do understand why so many people love call of duty, its multiplayer, and thankfully its just as fun here as its ever been with all of its modes outside of team deathmatch.. that’s usually my favorite mode, but I just wasn’t feeling the maps this year in deathmatch, but I had an absolute blast anyway for hours playing that ultra addicting, spawn shoot die gameplay, and its been a hwile since ive played a call of duty game.. since ww2.. so im not sure if these things are new but I am loving the instant respawns here on the next gen.. and I also appreciate that camping snipers have a little reflection to give away their location.. ive never been a fan of zombies mode, its obviously here.. I cant fairly critique it as it just isn’t my thing… but the main reason I play a call of duty game, at least in my currently life where I don’t have the time to sink days into multiplayer is the campaign.. but thankfully I do have the fun and addictive multiplayer to play through while it takes more hours to download than it does to actually play…
    Here you play as yourself, during the cold war, and the campaign actually started with tons of promise.. I wouldn’t mind if every year we got a well told 3-4 hour long story full of amazing set pieces and a mind blowing experience to compliment the fun multiplayer, and this campaign had its moments, it felt like an interactive movie with great moments and missions, some of the best stealth missions ive ever experienced in a first person shooter, but halfway through the campaign just falls apart, it becomes generic first person shooter level design and story telling, theres even a section of the game here youre redoing the same thing like 5 times in a row… that’s how much you can tell the creative juices have evaporated after an impressive start.. I didn’t want to stop playing, but I had to to let part 2 download… such a let down…
    Call of Duty is what it is…
    You know what youre going to get every year…
    it never changes outside of the setting..and this is where the let down comes into play
    Im personaly okay with a little 4 hour journey each year, but please put a little more effort and see that effort through, especially if again,, its only going to be 4 hours… it better be solid.
    But at least you have some new maps to play with.

    I don't know why am giving this a 7, maybe because of the potential it has. Weapons need a lot of balancing, frequent crashes and bugs, less content than MW, maps that soon makes the gameplay repetitive are my complaints. But I really enjoyed the campaign mode. With more thought out maps and weapon balancing they can definitely fix it

    Świetna, choć dosyć krótka fabuła (na spokojnie można ją przejść w 3-4h). Niestety cała gra chodzi na starym silniku, co względem Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) jest sporym downgradem i niestety to widać... Przede wszystkim mechanika strzelania wydaje się być znacznie bardziej drewniana, efekty wizualne jak mgła, zamieć, chmura gazu wyglądają dosyć podstarzale, pewne ubytki widać też wŚwietna, choć dosyć krótka fabuła (na spokojnie można ją przejść w 3-4h). Niestety cała gra chodzi na starym silniku, co względem Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) jest sporym downgradem i niestety to widać... Przede wszystkim mechanika strzelania wydaje się być znacznie bardziej drewniana, efekty wizualne jak mgła, zamieć, chmura gazu wyglądają dosyć podstarzale, pewne ubytki widać też w samej grafice i modelach. Z drugiej strony optymalizacja jest bardzo dobra. Brakuje mi tylko większej ilości map, które zaczną pojawiać się wraz z kolejnymi sezonami. Liczę, że tryb zombie dostanie kilka nowych miejsc wraz z nadejściem 1 sezonu battle passa, bo jedna mapa zombie to trochę za mało. Oprócz tego zdarzają się też sporadyczne glitche, które szybko znikają za sprawą patchy. Sumarycznie nie jest to zła gra, ale nadal wymaga sporego dopracowania i uzupełnienia o dodatkowy content. Stąd też ocena 7/10… 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.
