    Trash game, pointless spy stuff. One of the last missions they make you redo the same boring part 4 times! Who wants to run through the same boring garbage 4 times in a row to beat a mission?! This game is absolute trash.

Ive since deleted this pile of crap and will never ever buy a call of duty gamw again. Now other problems i had b4 it currepted everythung is you can't skip cutscenes or any talking scenes at all and they are loooooong af. Game play is ok when you get to play but it ruined by them not letting you skip. This is all campaign that I'm upset about oh and good luck on the loading bc wow does ot suck. I done know how that is on a downloaded game. I cant speak for the multi player but if its like the campaign then buckle up bc this game sucks… Expand

    the multiplayer is the worst, most unfinished multiplayer ever. the weapon balance is EXTREMELY off. the maps are abosulte trash, there is an extreme lack of content, and the SKILL BASED MATCH MAKING makes the game extremely sweat and very unplayable.

    The zombies is very enjoyable and the campaign is great. those are the only redeeming qualities

    Cold War on PS4 is awful. Feels like beta. Single player has many bugs (including deleting progress). Multiplayer is also very buggy, textures loading very slow so most of the game it's blurry and ugly. Even objects geometry takes time to load. It's just terrible. Zombies also suffer from textures popup and in addition framerate dips drastically. That's the last COD I bought. I payed forCold War on PS4 is awful. Feels like beta.

    Should not be entitled as a "Black Ops" game, very shameful for the franchise to be honest, because this is not playable at all!

    Ten steps back from Modern Warfare. Every single gun feels the same, the campaign is almost identical to the first Black Ops with an anticlimactic ending and it is literally the first CoD to make me despise every second of the multiplayer. It feels like a mobile game. Definitely don't buy this if you want to remember the black ops series in a good light.

    One of the first games I have pre-orderd in a while and I was very disappointed.

    The game feels and handles like the first black ops game (2010) which after being treated to Morden warfare my expectations where so much higher.

    The change up of the zombies was nice but that alone could not justify the game for me so in the end I had to refund

    Hit detection is a joke. SBMM its more like skill based hit detection. Have countless videos of me pumping 20 rounds from assault rifles into guys faces only to have them walk it off. Then get shot with 2 bullets from a assault rifle and it drops me to 0 hp. it honestly feels like only 1/3 of my bullets register where the other guy drops me with a 1/3 of the bullets needed to get a kill.

If you wanted a cool skin for your character back then in Black Ops 3 you either needed to finish missions relateded to the specialist-weapons or needed luck with the blackmarket. Nevertheless you could get some cool skins for your character for FREE. Fast forward to 2019 and 2020 where you have to spent e.g. 10 euro for one cool skin for one operator. The standard skins for the operators are booooring as hell. Take a look at the skins for the specialist in BO3. Those were cool and for free (btw everything a said about the skins also goes for the weapon camoes. They are boooooooring as hell. Where are the reactive, ultra, super-duper, hot, fancy, cool camoes from BO4?? In the Battle-Pass? Where are the cool camoes for the players who do not want to spend some extra money.

    The multiplayer is the worst of the whole saga, its main problem is that it is unbalanced in every way. Broken weapons is a big problem. Weapons that kill too fast, weapons that have no recoil, weapons that have absurd damage.
    Broken weapons that were implemented several months ago and to this day are still broken and they don't nerf them. or even if they were nerfed, but the nerf did nothing. (Diamatti Pistol, FFAR Assault Rifle).

    The map design of Black ops: Cold War is terrible. The only good maps are the maps from previous Call of Duty games (Most of Black ops 2).
    Maps like Miami, Garrison, Crossroads, The Pines. They are some of the worst originals that the game has. It has too many places to hide, to camp, or the map design for rushing is horrible.

    The optimization of the game is horrible ON ALL PLATFORMS.
    On PC you always have to download the shaders that even though they weigh little, they take light years to download.

    In addition to sudden lag, textures take a long time to load or don't load at all.

    Problems that also occur in the Console versions (Playstation and Xbox).

    The game has horrible animations, movements that seem more robotic than human and that in addition much do not make sense, as would be the majority of animations of impeccion of weapons (Impeccate the Magnum of 12 bullets but that the model of the weapon continues having 6).

    This game was not made with love, is poorly optimized, and has a lousy balancing. Very badly polished.

    This game should not even jokingly cost $59.99. It is overpriced for an incomplete and poorly polished game.

    This review as I said was more about Multiplayer and talking about the campaign, honestly it's a very good campaign, it's not exactly as it was sold (Decisions that will change the ending).
    But it was not lousy, a very good campaign that is accompanied by an excellent soundtrack.

    Speaking of zombies, it's very... Mediocre to decent, the game has such a weird HUD for a zombie mode that it looks more like a mini-game of Warzone than a zombie characteristic of the saga. And the game is almost too easy but if it becomes not difficult, but unfair (Zombies that respawn out of nowhere in the face blocking the passage, zombies that have too much range to hit the player) and also the maps are disappointing, they are just recycled from other maps or are taken directly from the campaign.

    The zombies have a 4.5/10.

    The game is not recommended at all, if so. Just had the price it deserves ($10 lmao) it would be worth something.

    The multiplayer is horrible, the campaign is excellent and the zombies is somewhat mediocre.    … Expand

    Awful gameplay after MW. Hit detection is awful and 'invisible rounded off corners' are rampant. Verticality is really not intuitive with the map design not having a consistent indicator for clickable surfaces.

    Player models are really hard to detect and the colour palette is just noise.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have a lot to say about this game so let me get straight to the point. Skill based matchmaking made every game for me feel like a chore. Its a constant fight for head glitches and camp spots because no body wants to use the terrible, clunky movement and get insta-killed by the god awfully op weapons. People who are not good at the game choose to sit in one spot and aim down sight which gives them an advantage; however, with these weapons it seems that camping has become the meta, and its boring for the good players who want to actually have a fun, casual experience. During the gameplay, i noticed i had zero time to react when getting shot at and I would just die. This was mostly to campers who would sit and wait at a doorway or corner so by the time you saw them and put your gun up or aim down the sights you are already dead. Not to mention half of the people i play against camp. i only actively see 2-3 people actually playing toward the goal of the game such as domination or hardpoint and that makes it really hard to have fun. Anyways, back to skill based matchmaking, one of the worst things to come to COD ever. In cold war they make it so you verse people you would get a 1.00 KD against. And there is the problem, right there. When I actually have fun playing its when i get a good KD or am playing with friends and winning games. Cold war literally tries to keep your KD down to be “fair to other players”. They stripped the fun from the game to make it more fair. That is honestly the dumbest thing I've heard in all of video games. The point of playing is to have fun and enjoy being good at something but cold war takes this away from its users which is why I rate it the worst cod of all time by far. In addition, the devs rushed this game like no other. The bugs and glitches are everywhere and to some extent makes the game unplayable. Treyarch needs to re-evaluate their purpose (which is to entertain, not scam us all out of 60$) and do better next cod because I will not buy another game with skill based matchmaking and dynamic nerfing that comes with a whole sleuth of bugs and glitches. This game could have been made back in the early 2000s, and it should have been worth 10$. F for effort… Expand

Incredibly poor stability, overuse of computer resources, extremely poor Nvidia integration leading to large reliance on driver updates, far too many updates required to fix this totally unfinished game, very poor network optimisation. Achievement and goal stats often fail to track, hitboxes vs. bullet registration is totally off. Skill-based matchmaking is as stupid as the execs that signed off on this trash. You cannot even save your gun loadout designs. There is far too much bias to aim-assist for controller users, making this one of the most unskilled games out ther.=. This is literally one of the worst games I've ever played.

    Furthermore, so few wanted to transition from Modern Warfare, that the community is so small and one of the most toxic out there. Skill-based match-making means most of your matches end up with leavers (cowards), as they don't want to hurt their stats. Furthermore, the skill-based match-making makes these toxic players the sweatiest and most intense in-game, yet.

    This is not a fun game, and the devs should honestly feel embarrassed. DON'T BUY! This isn't worth $10 let alone their insane idiot pricing.    … Expand

But does Treyarch give a **** No, **** us, they want us to play the glitchiest, ****tiest matches possible because they, as a studio, hate the **** out of their player base.

    Skill Based Matchmaking has the unfortunate side effect of making the only interesting part of Cold War unplayable. It would be great if just once, JUST **** ONCE, I could complete a multiplayer zombies match without the lobby, the host, or myself simply lagging the **** out and either CTD or CTM.

    The Campaign; Like raw sewage and kale mixed in a blender with exactly two scoops of cake flavored protein mix. It would be preferable to simply microwave week old garbage and insert it into your rectum.

    The Graphics; **** And not just **** but BROKEN **** I've never had to 'recompile' **** shaders so much in my entire **** life. Game gets a patch, and suddenly I have giant walls springing into existence around me with no rhyme or reason. I can't see through them, but they only exist for me. It's like if I'd been dropped into Afganistan with an M-16 high as **** on a mixture of ketamine and military grade LSD. You're not sure whats going on, but the god damn ground is 100% trying to eat you.
    The only way to make these helucinatory walls disappear? Recompile the Shaders. But Guess What?! THAT ONLY WORKS SOME OF THE TIME, HAHAHA!

    I hate this game, I will absolutely never buy another **** Treyarch game so long as I **** live.
    I want my money back, you god awful **** tacos.    … Expand

    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]
