    Probably the best Call of Duty game of the last decade. With a superb campaign, a great Zombies mode and a -mostly- balanced and rich multiplayer mode Cold War is a game no fan of the franchise should miss out.

    It's worth buying additional storage for Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War. Modern Warfare's campaign still lingers in my memories thanks to the sensational NV missions, but I'm sure Cold War has produced more memorable scenes. Multiplayer in the new CoD is good, but it's the campaign where it's at in this entry. As far as MP is concerned, I'll stick to the last one.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War brings the Black Ops subseries back to its roots, delivering an explosive campaign, fast-paced multiplayer, and a compelling Zombies experience.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War lends itself as a bombastic, yet short-lived game. We can only hope that this project will be well-received by Activision higher-ups, and that Raven Software will finally make name for themselves.

    Fans of the franchise and many gamers of a certain age, especially those who have a next-gen console in the hopper, will still find enough to like in Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War. I personally still replay the mission with the arcade shootout just to get a little '80s cheeseball energy going, but I think the strategy of overwhelming people with as much content and as many shooter modes as possible might be starting to wear thin. We're not there quite yet, but I'm hoping the next Black Ops might have just a bit more than poking at my childhood memories of a culturally iconic president.

    While Cold War is a part of a series I would have said that I loved, I can’t fully embrace it now knowing that this work is trucking in harmful stereotypes via patriotic-tinged gameplay. A decent CoD multiplayer experience will likely emerge from the currently-underwhelming Cold War, but I’m going to seriously consider whether that gameplay is worth enduring (and supporting) the rest.

    Unlike Modern Warfare, this game is NOT for scrubs. It isn't a campfest that allows you to camp in windows or high platform vantage pointsUnlike Modern Warfare, this game is NOT for scrubs. It isn't a campfest that allows you to camp in windows or high platform vantage points everywhere for free kills and that's why it's getting such low scores. This is what Call of Duty USED to be 10 years ago, and it's finally back.… Expand

    While I think giving this game a 0 is somewhat valid as it gets your point of being dissapointed on the game across quite well, I feel likeWhile I think giving this game a 0 is somewhat valid as it gets your point of being dissapointed on the game across quite well, I feel like it's not nearly as trash as people say it is. It feels like a 6 currently, slightly above average. The story is interesting but not nearly as gripping as BO1 and 2. It's too shory however, definetly feels like they just ran out of time to develop it. What about multiplayer? It's okay but it does feel like MW 2019 all over again. Unbalanced and very little maps at launch. I don't understand why people say that game was better when people complained about the same things during it's launch. It hasnt crashed or lagged on me so technically it seems to work fine, graphics look as good as last years game I don't know why people say it looks like **** Bandwagon maybe? Sound design is fantastic. It does feel a lot like MW 2019 but ported into the cold war, probably because they use the same engine. I'm not a fan of quickscoping so I don't cry when I can't get footage for my montages. If you own MW 2019 you're probably better of sticking to that. Haven't played much zombies but it feels like it's fighting itself, trying to be how it was originally and trying to be Infinite Warfares zombies. I do wish I could refund it, I let my urges get the better of me. Make sure you don't do the same.… Expand

Zombies got updated but now feels too easy and the buildables/Easter egg got simplified.… Expand
