Nov 14, 2020I 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. -

Nov 15, 2020A 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

Dec 11, 2020Comic graphics?! For real - first Cod that I deleted after 30 min. into gaming

May 31, 2021SBMM, 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
-
Nov 15, 2020Don'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.
-
Mar 9, 2021Campain 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.
-
Jul 12, 2021Matchmaking is really bad, hit points are really off, but the worst is spawn system, spawn kills happens every match. At this point this game is just irritating, not fun at all.

Nov 15, 2020Bad gfx, bad maps.. Armada is killing me. Bad kill streaks.. just play modern warfare for the multiplayer.
-
Nov 14, 2020Games aren't like how they used to be. Sad. Horrible zombies mode. Tried to appeal to multiplayer.

Nov 14, 2020R.I.P. Call of Duty Black Ops franchise. Just like people said, its boring and one dimensional. It's just not good, that's a good summary of the game. Black Ops 1 will always remain the only good game of the Black Ops series
-
Nov 16, 2020Yikes, absolute sad mess of a game for the price they charge. Glitches, text mistakes, overpowered guns, **** net code and too much more to type. Stay away till they fix some of it and try to salvage this turd of a cod

Nov 15, 2020Plays like a game from 10 years ago, feels stiff and floaty at the same time. Animation are absolute hot garbage and stiff. Graphics and visual look like call of duty black ops 2. Such a terrible disappointment trying to ride the wake of modern warfare when is a superior game.

Nov 18, 2020It is embarrassing that this is a 2020 triple A game. Also the first CoD on the next gen consoles and it looks worse than the last game. It is full of bugs and glitches, it shows images of weapons out of BO4 when you unlock weapons, basically it is not complete yet it is being sold at full price.
Then ofcoursd the SBMM ruins any fun you have with the gameplay. -
Nov 14, 2020This is just insultingly bad. This is a full on downgrade from Modern Warfare, an actually good Call of Duty title. This is just painful to play.
-

Nov 15, 2020Straight garbage. Looks and feels like a 10yr old game. The campaign is probably it’s only saving grace
-
Nov 14, 2020Worst call of duty ever in history!!! don't buy this game don'T waste your money, and Activision PLEASE refund my money! i'm feeling like i just throwed my money to trash!!!
-
Nov 14, 2020que jogo incrivel que espetaculo um dos melhores jogos da franquia senao o melhor historia espetacular multijogador incrivel e sem duvidas o melhor zombies
-
Nov 14, 2020Vaya pedazo de **** mier** solo hay camperos y parece que he pagao 75€ por un paquete de mapas del modern warfare, pero aún peor aunque parezca imposible

Nov 17, 2020I am playing my Xbox One X and sometimes switch off automatically while i am playing Cold War. Very very low FPS. This game is a Beta game.
-
Nov 18, 2020Unfinished game, poor visibility, terrible hit detection, no weapon balancing.
-
Nov 18, 2020The game has 8 maps at lunch....8 maps from a multimillion dollar company.
Skill based match making means if you have friends who are worse than you then they will want to play with you because they will be destroyed.
The campaign is 3 hours long.
Do yourself a favor, keep playing Modern Warfare -
Nov 14, 2020At this point COD is Bernie from Weekend at Bernie's. Take a year or two off for Christ's sake.
-
Nov 18, 2020Can't even play the game on PS5, it keeps hard crashing it when I try to launch any mode. I reinstalled 4 times now and all my other games work just fine.
Unacceptable. -
Nov 14, 2020The game is insulting. I already asked for a refund on this.
The game is awful. Gameplay, AI, it's just insulting how bad it is. The campaign is shorter than ever.
It's impossible to play multiplayer, the connections and the dc's amount are tremendous.
For them to ship a game like this is tells how much respect they have for their audience. -

Nov 15, 2020Horrible game. Huge step back from Modern Warfare/Warzone. Don’t waste your money.

Nov 19, 2020Campaign is boring, all multiplayer maps are identical, overpowered weapons, horrible framerates in cutscenes. The only part about this game that's enjoyable is zombies and theres only one map for zombies
-

Nov 14, 2020It bothers me that they used the same graphics engine from 2015 and did not use the engine from the Modern Warfare remake

Nov 16, 2020No split screen for Zombies? Especially after the Spec ops debacle with MW? Remember how they promised split screen, BEFORE LAUNCH, and we still have yet to get it a year later? Activision and Treyarch don't care whatsoever for their customers, as their actions show that all they see us as are walking bank deposits.
-
Nov 16, 2020Such a broken, unfinished game being sold for $70. Unbelievable. This game is like 10 steps back compared to Modern Warfare. The only positive is the zombies mode.
-
Nov 16, 2020The same and same call of duty every year, cod mw its complete this cod is innecesary a normal camping, with the same graphics, poor multiplayer and zombies so bad....

Dec 9, 2020The most miserable multiplayer experience Ive ever had to endure. Every cent spent on this game was 100% wasted.
-
Nov 15, 2020Multiplayer is a downgrade from MW and zombies is very bad.
honestly just disappointing and not worth $60/$70
the campaign is great but still wait until its discounted.
5/10 only because of the campaign. -
Nov 15, 2020There is a good game here and it is destroyed by SBMM. It is an experience that is impossible to enjoy
-
Nov 17, 2020Great zombies doesn't make up for the crappy multiplayer. Campaign isn't fun in my opinion either. Screw these maps, they are garbage, i only like one, and there are like 3 maps for TD, that's CODs main game mode. Mp5 is too good, and the rest of the guns mostly suck.
-
Nov 15, 2020Otro año mas otro COD pa la saca y siguen siendo igual de mi3rd4 sin innovar en nada y ocupa 100gb q se los sacaran del cvl0 digo yo.
-
Nov 19, 2020Waste of time and money. Proof that the video game industry is a predatory mafia. The more i document the bugs and glitches, the worse they get. They are killing playstations by locking up the playstation in a glitch reporting errors and glitches.

Nov 18, 2020Multiplayer is a downgrade from MW
The Gunplay is fun but the maps are just bad there is not even 1 good map in this game.
zombies is fun tho but not worth 60.
just another disappointing cod form Treyarc
And who ever but shotgun in the secondary slot shoud be fierd -
Nov 14, 2020this game is not good not fun not worth your money and not worth your time. refunded it 7 hours after purchase.

Feels like a 360 game.
Constant connection errors, stiff controls, bad graphics. -

Dec 19, 2020Not as fun as Modern Warfare 2019, in terms of multiplayer, but this campaign was definitely more interesting and fun.
-
Dec 8, 2020Worst multiplayer of alm time the only good thing its zombies and campaing, dont buy this game better tke that 60 dollars and buy something for warzone.
-
Nov 14, 2020The only fun part of this game is the gun customisation. Apart from that, it's AWFUL! Also, stop allowing PC players to play with xbox and PS players, every other game theres a hacker.

Nov 14, 2020Such a disappointment. Campaign is short and stupid, grenade trowing animations looks like its been animated by a 5 year old. Literally a downgrade of MW 2019.

Nov 17, 2020Worst multiplayer I have ever played. I play since mw2 and I have not seen a spawn this bad, terrible scorestreak system, matchmaking problems, only joining ongoing games and then gets disconected. I regreat every cent I spent on this sh**
-
Nov 17, 2020Graphics from 2015. The only place where they actually invested is motion capture for characters, who cares about that? People buy this game for multiplayer. I won't even mention the attempt at cloning Battlefield with Fireteam mode, it's not even a clone, that's how bad it is. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your money on this AA title.

Dec 21, 2020По сравнению с mw19 полнейший кал. Отдачи нет, модули говна, карты говна.
-
Nov 14, 2020Graphics are early PS3 looking. Mechanics are somehow worse than previous games in the black ops series. If truly SBMM exists, it’s terrible to play with friends on different skill levels. Disbanding lobbies is one of the worst features. Quite a lacklustre game. Campaign was decent and zombies are good.
-
Nov 15, 2020Doppelter Rückschritt, schlechtestes cod auf ps4! Movement und gunplay fühlt sich an wie in bo4, Grafik und Sound sind schlechter als in MW2019

Nov 15, 2020Same, no improvement, don't buy it. We need change in gaming industry. Old games were better.

Nov 17, 2020One of the worst games ever. This game is like other CODs. I cant understand why people are buying same COD every time

-
Nov 18, 2020The 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

Dec 9, 2020This 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
-
Dec 7, 2020Unplayable 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.
-
Dec 8, 2020Garbage 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.

Jun 28, 2021Call 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.
-
Dec 16, 2020While 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.
-
Playstation Official Magazine UKDec 14, 2020There’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]
