    I would give a 0 but zombies is actually fun but since theres only one map it gets a 3.

    You can definitely tell this game had a rough development.

    Hopefully they fix and add more stuff very soon.

    Not worth full price.

I haven't even been into CoD since BO2 and I can safely say, this is a big step in the complete opposite direction since then. Not only that but I feel like I'm playing a Beta now. What's being done on this game? It feels unpolished. Undercooked and full of grit and grime. If you're looking into buying this. DO NOT. It isn't worth the money and age loss you'll be forced to accept. Expand

    A complete shame. No splitscreen for zombies and splitscreen is a total disaster in mp. Black stripes on the screen and game crashes after 3 min of splitscreen mp. Even makes my ps4 pro crash. A total insult to the whole community. This is a shame. I regret buying this game and won't buy any more COD. My grandma would have done better crap than this God rest her soul

This year, Treyarch returns with a game that greatly underwhelms it’s fan base by bringing back Skill Based Matchmaking, and completely disregarding an entire community of people longing for the chance to play in a ranked setting(like every other successful shooter as had). Making players have to sacrifice their very sanity to simply have a good time, even casually, is never the way to go. Good job, Treyarch!!! Better start pumping out those updates!! This game sucks ☺️


    The zombies is spectacular, however. But, I guess that’s all they seem to care about. Too bad the multiplayer of this franchise is where you truly needed to hit it out of the park this year. Guess you can’t win them all.

    SBMM, SBMM and SBMM, I play nothing recommended unless you only play the campaign and the zombies, hence the Multiplayer is a reverend garbage because of the SBMM, the only way that the SBMM does not bother you is that you are noob, if you are good at playing, even a little, you will stress a lot

    Don't buy this game. It disconnects you from zombies without rewarding you. Multiplayer has only 8 maps and the fps differences between the maps is big. Campain is ok but the rest is boring. Bad game in general.

    Campain is maybe the best we ever had. Zombie mode is ok but i'm no big fan of the zombie mode in newer cods. The multiplayer is so underrated. Everybody hates it but I think it was the best one from the last 4 games. The killstreaks and SBMM are annoying but it still makes fun to play with your friends. The new mode vip escorte was one of the best modes ever.

    MP feels like its 5 years late. This would have been ok but bland in 2015.
    Every gun has stupid slow bullet velocity and that allows SMGs to challenge assault rifles in mid to long range fights since they have higher rate of fire than most rifles. Also the pattented treyarch 3lane maps with 90 degree turns every 20 meters compound the problem even more. Most gun fights happen on the range

Also the pattented treyarch 3lane maps with 90 degree turns every 20 meters compound the problem even more. Most gun fights happen on the range of 0-30 meters so SMGs and shotguns are abundant.
    Due to the scorestreak system your first 26 ranks are utter stupidity. You spawn take 2 steps and die to a airstrike, chopper, chopper gunner, artillery strike or cruise missile then respawn and the same thing happens again. If you thought that killstreaks were annoying in MW in this its 10 times worse.
    Also Moscow and Miami maps are for some reason absurdly large for 6v6. They are probably larger than Grazna Raid in MW and its sized for 10v10. Also they are full of treyarch 90 degree turns after 20 meters. You never know where the battle is and the spawns spin like roulette tables in vegas.
    Combined Arms is almost enjoyable but in armada the amount of turret boats should be reduced to 1 per side and team in assault gamemode.

    The map designers for multiplayer seemed to have taken all their inspiration from Modern Warfare 2019 which had atrocious design, full of spawn-camping and regular camping

    The scoring system exclusively rewards people who go on killstreaks, incentivizing people to avoid objectives and hide in the back of the map so as to not die

    The game is full of bugs and glitches, and caused my Xbox One X to hard shutdown eight (8) times in the first two days of release. There is misspelled text, reused assets, confusing attachment descriptions and sloppy animation work throughout the entire game. Voice chat functionality works sporadically and sounds like you're talking through a $10 toy walkie talkie. Network performance is terrible, as 60 billion dollar publisher Activision does not think its biggest franchise is worth buying decent dedicated servers for, leaving it to a mix of peer-to-peer and otherwise connection, at an atrocious 20hz tickrate (Overwatch, Rainbow Six, Battlefield, PUBG and other titles have 60hz or above tickrates - more than triple)

    It is extremely clear in every aspect of the game that this title was unfinished and rushed out the door by a greedy publisher who doesn't give half a damn about the reputation of the devs or the consumers. Do not buy as-is.

You can't blame the coronavirus for this either, because virus or not, these games seem to never be complete at launch, and then give up on updates a month in the yearly cycle. Also, Activision implemented a pay to win system into the multiplayer matchmaking that makes players who don't spend any money on micro transactions get put into extremely hard games, and in order to play good, you need to spend money on these transactions. Coming from a COD fan, i've played for many many years. But as time went on I got more frustrated and angry with this game and now it's at the point where I would only play this if it's free. I don't think it's worth $70, there's no content! You're paying for a beta, basically. So do yourself a favor and save your money.

    Graphics look worse, most of the time i can't see my enemies when shooting at them.
    All the animations feel clunky and unfinished, MW's movement is 100 times better.
    The guns look bland and sound unrealistic, its like they were computer-generated, unlike MW.
    Map design is weird. Un-Treyarch like. Lots of unneeded parts on some maps and quite a lot of dumb head-glitching spots.
    This game is not fast-paced. Lots of campers and head-glitch abusers.
    At least now we have a normal mini-map and a ninja perk.
    SKILL-BASED MATCHMAKING.
    WHY?? Why does it exist?
    I mean, at least add a Ranked playlist and implement it there. But in normal public match lobbies tone it down like in older COD-s.
    Now, I understand that every Call of Duty has had some form of SBMM, but its never been this strict.
    I feel like every match I am playing in a tournament. No fun at all. everyone uses meta weapons because its the only way to suceed and not get absolutely melted. Therefore, messing around experimenting with different weapons and classes is very unenjoyable.
    And talking about weapons, the MP5 is a god gun for another year... yay.
    Connection is worse than in MW, and hit detection is unreliable.
    This game has very little content. Only 8 MP maps of which 2 are smaller versions of bigger maps.
    Plus that fireteam mode.
    Yes, MW had less 6v6 maps but at least MW offered something new in the form of night maps, realism mode and gunfight. This game offers NOTHING new. Repetitiveness at its finest.
    But gunfight is coming in season 1, so that's a plus.
    Ground war is better than fireteam dirty bomb, too.
    Even the UI looks almost identicval to MW.
    Grenade throwing animation takes AGES and can get you killed.
    Positives: less pro-camping elements than MW(doors, no dead silence perk, no normal mini-map, etc), gunsmith returns, GOOD CAMPAIGN, awesome zombies mode; back to basics and good improvements in the form of new perks and the ability to use any weapon at the beginning. Good scorestreaks, better than MW, map voting and way better footstep audio, in this game I can actually hear where the enemies are and don't have to guess.
    Furthermore, it is sad that COD is becoming a 'games as a service' game.
    Instead of immediately including Nuketown and all the Season 1 stuff at launch, the game dishes out the content every month or so. That could've avoided the very little amount of content at launch.
    BUT, I remain hopefull.
    Treyarch is known for listening to the community, so I HOPE they do so this time aswell.
    If they just add a Ranked playlist and give us at least 3 new maps and 2 new weapons in Season 1, I will be happy. Because this game needs content atm.
    I've played the game for 2 days now and I already went back and played MW today.
    And that says something, doesn't it?

I am reviewing this game based on all aspects. In a nutshell, the single player campaign is short lived and lacking content. Missions feel the same. Whereas in the past we have had epic wolverines mission, the going dark London safehouse mission from the last cod and who can forget their first time commanding an AC130, gunship whilst avoiding shooting the church. Cod cold war just feels like run and gun idiotic NPCs who help by running into your bullets. The character development was also poor with the main protagonist as a cheap Brad Pitt knock-off. Zombies is slightly fun albeit, with no originality or major upgrades. Feels like a copy paste job with a new map. Multiplayer is where the game really lacks. Maps designed with all the nooks and crannies for the campers of the night. Every game consists of people hiding behind a well placed object and a time to kill so quick there is no reaction time. Blink and you're gone. For a series that prides itself in realism, the quick scoping is again, a joke. There is nothing original in this series and cod is becoming like the fast and furious of the gaming world. Clunky movement, poor weapons and maps designed for players who prefer hide and seek (and camp). Cod hasn't been challenged like this in years with the fortnite franchise along with various other shooters such as Apex and Battlefield. Soon this game will be seen as retro with the ever changing environment of FpS games. For me, this is one better left alone. Save your money. As well as the price tag this game comes with a heavy price towards storage. Way upwards of the 150gig mark. I felt this was cod's chance to revive the franchise and after the success of the last modern warfare franchise I was hoping it would. Sadly, it has done the opposite. Amazing that after more than a decade since modern warfare graced us with its beauty, we are still awaiting a cod multiplayer experience to match the early games. Expand

    Multiplayer: skilled based matchmaking, people abusing meta guns, constant lag and stuttering. Movement feels clunky and most maps are designed around chokepoints, which leads to one team just holding and waiting while the other team just spawns in and dies. Not enjoyable at all.

    Haven't played a cod since black ops 2 and i am greatly disappointed in this release. YOU CAN REFUND ON BATTLE NET IF YOU BOUGHT WITHIN LAST 3 DAYS!!

    A broken beta being sold for full price. Nothing works right or feels like CoD. Netcode is **** and robs you of kills. There is 1 gun worth using and you start with it unlocked. All the rest feel useless. Streaks are absolutely neutered because its near impossible to go on any sort of streak at all. There is very little content. Game crashes and visual bugs are everywhere.

    What's sad is

    What's sad is that the core gameplay is actually really nice; it reminds me of Black Ops 2. The sad part is that Black Ops 2 is 8 years old and still works and plays much better than this, mainly because it was finished before they released it.

    Who knows, maybe after a bunch of updates and DLC it'll be pretty decent, but they should have waited until that stuff was added before letting their 'fans' buy it (who am I kidding, Activision just sees us all as dollar signs).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve only had the game for a day and this is the most disappointing call of duty I’ve ever played the campaign was so good up until the end where they pull a plot twist that felt really out of its place and you never really get to know the characters well
    Mason and woods were basically side kicks and didn’t do much in the main story

    The multiplayer is terrible the maps have no flow at all and there’s to many door ways and windows, every time I see someone and try to aim I’m already dead because two people walked up behind me And even if you shoot first half the time you die anyway and all of the guns are either so op that they’re broken or they do such little damage your better off fighting with an MRE spoon and they only have 8 maps at launch which yeah there’s probably gonna be more but that is just lazy

    The zombies feels like serious Sam but that’s about it.

    Over all I want my 60 dollars back and I I wouldn’t recommend this game at all just watch the radbrad play the story if you wanna see it that bad

    So...i really enjoyed COD MW, brilliant graphics, game mechanics and sound.
    Cold War compares to it like a low budget TV show to Star Wars franchise. I gave it solid 20h of multiplayer time only to come to an conclusion that it was wasted 20h. Where as MW is fun, this feels like grind. I know it meant to be an arcade shooter, but why does the graphics have to look like from 2002? I play

Only the campaign and zombies are saved, BUT the campaign that lasts only 3 HOURS, is not of 3yarch, but of RAVEN, who did a very nice job, but only that. This year 3yarch has made a SCAMPIO, yes maybe it's fun, but obviously it's always THE SAME GAMEPLAY they can't modify it, who doesn't like modern warfare but then loves this, it's A CLOWN.

Your character has metal feet because enemy hear you from 30m away so they crouch down waiting for you to come to them. Camping in this game is again modernwarfare, every lobby I join isn’t fun to play, the game became hide and seek fps. Why the hell does this particular cod has 6 multiplayer maps??? Huge disappointment. Back to your character being 80 years old, he can’t draw a gun fast, it takes about two seconds or 3 for him to draw a weapon. The recoil system doesn’t make sense, yall trying to make these goofy plastic guns realistic?? and adding horizontal and vertical recoil what the f. Aiming system is slow and very buggy. Having attachment is like putting potatoes to your gun. Trowing a grenade is like him trowing a stone of 20lb , everything is slow, not making it fast pace game, made it so boring sloppy. Perk system its fine, this game should be called CALL OF DUTY BLACK OP SPY PLANE, if you not level 17 you gonna have a hard time finding people since a spy plane its always being called unless you got a 90-100lb of rockets launcher in your back. ZOMBIES:
    This is the worst **** that CALL OF DUTY EVER MADE lol.
    This is a joke. Putting damage system like its apex legends? Its really wack you have zombies at wave 10 out running you the dogs are the most annoying **** the dog round is so disgusting, putting the whole place in a green neon bright color you cant even see **** even if you got stamina the dogs still out run you, if you kill them, now you have to worry about the aftermath (aka explosive radiation). Again the way you shoot and aim its very cluncky, you can’t survive a game to wave 30 without you having a wonder weapon or ray gun. Stamina makes you run from 2 sec to 5 secs. Its a mess. Then you have a boss of around 8k-9k that 2 shots you with his fist after that lol wtf he splits and now you have two bosses of 8k of health each like wtf is that. The only mode that is currently very fun is Onslaught. Thats is more balanced. IN CONCLUSION: This game was clearly rushed. Treyarch had an opportunity to wait a while and make it like modernwarfare but make it better then that such as, making 3 line maps because everyone dislikes huge maps, but ofc they dont listen, making the guns like modernwarfare did, and keep the perk system that cold war offers. Making it fast pace. This game is like CALL OF DUTY MOBILE but upgraded with ps4 graphics, the graphics of this game looks like ps3 graphics. loading assets takes a lot time. This for me I thought that MW was garbage but this game is straight dog **** MAJOR BUGS THAT MAKE THE GAME EVEN WORSE:
    • At time the controller would disconnect and start flashing making it unable to connect back to ps4 so you have to turn the whole ps4 off. The only way to fix this, is to go to setting>controller> go to the option where is say connect controller wireless or with a usb cable, the problem here, is that you wont be able to use your mic, and you have to stay connected with the usb cable on the ps4 dualshock.
    • The game is disconnecting a lot in zombies or “connection interrupted” And it lags a lot around round 15-17. • When people talk on the mic it like breaks making unable to understand what their saying.

    Treyarch did not listen to their player base. During the Beta phase the one main problem that was consistent was Skill Based Matchmaking. All you have to do is type in "SBMM Cold War" into Youtube and you can see just how many people complained about it. We are not asking to remove it. Instead, we are simply asking to have it moved to a Ranked Playlist.

    The reason why this makes no sense to have it on regular public matches is that there is nothing to show for having to try exceptionally hard just to win a match. The freedom of choice is what is stopping this from being a great game. Give players the choice to either "get into serious mode" or just play for fun.

    Unfortunately for a PS4 player like myself, this game is in many ways unplayable.

The campaign had a mostly interesting story but didn't really take off until the second to last mission. A longer campaign where the optional missions played a greater significance would have made the experience much more enjoyable.

    The multiplayer suffers from connectivity, balancing issues, and a lack of interesting maps. Iconic maps such as Nuke Town are missing and will likely not come until a later season.

    Overall this year's COD feels like a regression from 2019's Cod Modern Warfare and may be an example of game makers unable to maintain QC during wfh and the global pandemic.

    The game is not fun the zombies are good for 2 games and then the same old. Multiplayer is the worse multiplayer ever made as all of the maps are badly balanced and spawns ridiculous. single player is just a rubbish call of duty experience. Do not buy the game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Would be a 0 if not for Zombies, which this year is more replayable and dynamic than ever, a real breakthrough in my opinion. MP is completely unfinished and what is there is so low effort it’s laughable. I could stomach only 29 weapons, but the unlock rate is so ungodly slow people will only ever spend such an atrocious amount of time on a good gun (MP5). Campaign is a complete copy of Black Ops 1, story structure and all, with the only replay ability being found in about 2-3 missions. Overall, this game needed another year,, and I will come back in a couple months in the vain hope the game will be in a playable state. Expand

    Horrible Multiplayer. Campaign is decent. Zombiesis fun, but only one map. Not worth it!

    Activision is pushing for profit only and not catering to COD fans. MP is horrible. I’m hesitant to hit quick play button because of strong SBMM. No desire to do better, no desire to grind for something, boring, few maps, very buggy. Some perks just don’t work, C4 blowing you when you hit reload button, hit detection is very flawed, shoot first and die first too many times.

    This game is a complete joke and giving it a 1 star is being generous. The gameplay is awful, guns make no sense and sbmm completely ruins the game for people that want to have fun

    Unplayable game. Skilled based matchmaking is making this sweaty and boring to play. This will be my last call of duty. 1 star because the campaign isnt too bad, but only 5 hours.

    Garbage can of a game. If you are a half decent player you will be punished for doing good. SBMM has finally put the nail in the coffin for the series.

We're shrugged off because they couldn't give two sh**s about what we want and our suggestions to make the game a better experience. But hey, Activision is making money and that's all that matters. I will be genuinely surprised if they listen to anything we say, and even more surprised if they make the changes the community is asking for. Expand

    Absolute ass cancer. Why did they even make this game?
    First of all let me say, the previous MW 2019 is a great game. Especially the warzone, they made a great BR game which got me to come back to COD multiplayer after many years.
    This game looks like it was made in 2015, at best. The graphics are a big step backwards, the movement is a big step backwards. What is the effing point of

    At this point the only reason I would consider buying this game is for the leveling up the weapons for Warzone, which is not a good reason.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War ends up mirroring what the Call of Duty franchise offered last year, with some new additions that are also welcome, especially for long-term fans. While being set during a very intense period, the campaign ends up erring for its disappointing longevity, even though the value of repetition is intrinsic to it. Zombies are back in style, while multiplayer gains an excellent new mode, but here it errs again for the arsenal's lack of variety.

    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.

    There’s a surprising number of changes, and most work. With an enjoyable campaign and a generous amount of online content, Cold War deserves a warm reception. [Issue#183, p.68]
