Dec 7, 2020SBMM. So many bugs and glitches. Lack of content. Lobbies disband.
Weapon Leveling and camo challenges. SBMM.
SBMM. Lobbies disband after EVERY single match.
Jumping and sliding.
Refund please. -

Sep 14, 2021I really like the more realistic game that came right before this, (Modern Warfare). This game is doodoo , but fun and pretty if you just want unrealistic run and gun game play. I'll just keep playing MW.
-
Feb 24, 2021This game is absolutely diabolical! The campaign is atrocious with stupid puzzles! The aiming and reloading is botched! You can't reload while aiming down sights anymore which gets you killed in zombies all the time! This is by far one of the worst cod games I've played! Regret purchasing it! But never again

Nov 15, 2020Провальный запуск на PS4 — выключается джойстик и нельзя пройти дальше 2й мисии. Хоть с кабелем, хоть без.

Nov 18, 2020First COD I have played since MW2 on the Xbox 360, terrible graphics, crap maps. Spawn, see someone shoot - die, spawn get seen without seeing someone - die. Rinse and repeat.
Wont ever buy a COD game again, don't know what I was thinking. Wouldn't play if this was free to play, let alone paying for a triple A title 0/10 -
Jul 29, 2021Dont buy at any cost, shockingly bad game, its a bore fest, the worst call of duty ever
-
Dec 13, 2020Awful! Break when I use the touch pad to come out of the stat check mid-team deathmatch.
Also, NO split screen for couch coop. You can do this for Black Ops3 but not for next gen PS5. Absolute joke as the rest of the gameplay is just a copy and paste. -

Nov 17, 2020Awful game! story, gameplay and graphics are crap, i dont know why they released an unfinished game
-
Nov 18, 2020I'm actually p***ed off I spent money on this buggy, unfinished, cash grab. Do not buy it. Go play something else that's worth your time and money

Nov 16, 2020I completed this **** game in 5h. Anything more to say?
I bought COD for the campaign. I DO NOT like to play online. After 5h of playing I finished completely the campaign.
Selling a 60euro game for 5h playing IS A FRAUD.
I will NEVER buy another COD in my life and NEVER advice any friends to do that.
I am completely disappointed by the game and the system. -
Apr 21, 2021This game is still broken 6 months post launch. They need to get their **** together, stop making overpriced bundles and focus on fixing the damn game. It’s unplayable.

Nov 18, 2020R.I.P cod series . This game is worse than you could imagine
Half made campaign Bad multiplayer maps
List goes on -
Nov 22, 2020I am disappointed very bad graphics just horror for this year poor visibility in multiplayer and because of bad graphics it is not possible to distinguish the player in the texture the plot is not bad but this is only for a few hours the most important multiplayer and it is terrible

May 13, 2021Bad servers, bad netcode and full of hackers. Campaign was fine. Keep seeing intrusive ads for this on Modern Warfare which is 100x better than this turd of a game. Ironically has more campers than Modern Warfare especially in Nuketown.
-
Sep 7, 2021Buggy as **** in too many areas, especially with the settings. I stopped buyin' Call of Duty games until recently, but no more after Snorezone and Cold Bore.
-
Sep 18, 2021It gets a 1 because the graphics, but the balancing in this game is just ass. It pairs you with much better players than players on your level, So skillbased matchmaking has ruined cod forever for me. It's just not fun. Bring it back to mw2/black ops 1/2 era..
Fun is just non existent in this game. -

Jan 20, 2021Feels like it was released way too early. No Cod has ever felt so bad, I've played them all and never had any big issues, but this is just abysmal. Riddled with issues. Glad they did a free week on Zombies, saved me £60!
-
Dec 11, 2020Game is broken ! Lot of bugs ! The theme is good but so few modes, maps and guns make the Multiplayer repetitive , don´t waste your time with this crap , feels like a plastic downgrade compared with COD MW ! Also SBMM ruins the matches !
-
Dec 8, 2020Single player - 3/10
Multiplayer- 5/10
Zombies - 7/10
Single player - The plot and characters are almost as ridiculous as Addler’s sunglasses.
Multiplayer - More of the same. This hasn’t changed for about thirteen years (except warzone of course).
Zombies - Hard to get wrong. Blends the best bits of COD zombie gameplay from over the years into a really fun game mode. -
Nov 15, 2020Интересный сюжет, музыка. Остальное просто треш и ужас. Прошел только из-за подачи сюжета.
-
Nov 16, 2020Absolute trash game. Massive step back in the franchise from MW and doesnt deserve to ne called a sequel to the original Black Ops. Original black ops a decade later still is better in every way. This is an outrage, a shambles, an abomination.
Refund the game to make Blizzard, Activision understand that this isnt on. -
Nov 23, 2020In short, this game is unfinished .The most unfinished game. Thrown away money
-
Nov 30, 2020Campaign is very enjoyable, as is zombies until you get bored. But the multiplayer is by far the worst in any CoD I’ve ever played and I’ve been playing since CoD4.
-
Nov 15, 2020One of the **** parts ever. Visually good, but physics and gameplay are impossible to take. Warface remaster.
-
Nov 23, 2020Pressing the Options button freezes the screen in zombie mode and I have had the same problem over and over again. It does not come back from there, it is necessary to turn it off and on. also when you come back you cannot join the same game
-
May 16, 2021How was CD Project Red pressured into offering refunds on their glitchy but fun game, and Treyarch/Activision haven’t been pressured into refunding this glitchy pos.

Nov 24, 2020The zombie mode is amazing, the campaign is fairly okay. The multi-player is infuriating due to this **** SBMM. CoD MW 2019 has a far supperior MP.
Unless you wanna pay 60$ for a zombie mode, don't buy this game -
Dec 11, 2020Modern Warfare has much better gamelan.

Apr 14, 2021(nie piszę nic o kampanii bo w nią nie grałem i oceniam jedynie tryby multiplayer i zombie)
Gdyby nie tryb zombie to równie dobrze pieniądze wydane na tą grę mógł bym zwyczajnie wyrzucić przez okno.
Jestem fanem serii black ops i grałem w każdą część i uważam że ta jest najgorsza i w dodatku nie ma nawet co porównywać z modern warfare 2019, bo mw jest o 1000 razy lepszy -

Jun 11, 2021This Game causes on crash after a other setup.
I tried everything to make this Game run, sadly without success. Please don‘t buy it for PC if your Hardware isn‘t better then mines.

Jan 5, 2021what a repackaged piece of s%^$ game..i' ve lost money on this game.. worthless entertainment! don't buy it..rent it if you can but don't waste 60£ on this repackaged 10 year old game!!!
-
Nov 17, 2020Horrible! Freezes all the time the graphics are bad and literally everyone is cheating
-
Mar 30, 2021split screen multiplayer still absolutely broken 4 months later. Activision blatantly doesnt care. Players are invisble, game crashes, textures wont load, animations dont work. Unfinished game. please save your money and dont make the same mistake as I
-
Nov 21, 2020Looks like an 10 years old game Skill based match making sucks
Didn’t get my Special content that I payed for
Not much archivments Maps are terrible Designed
Definitely last cod I bought -
Nov 22, 2020Worst game i've played so far. Unfinished content, even CoD's that are over 10 years old had more content when the game released. The campaign feels like it was being rushed. Don't get me started at zombies. I have tried 6 times, 6 times the easter egg. Always there was something, a bug, the game just froze i mean like what the **** lol **** this game i spend 100 euros on nothing
-
Mar 4, 2021I have bought the game only to see errors about hosting, so i can't even play a full priced game offline, good work Activision, you must be proud.
-
Nov 26, 2020- bad game engine
- bad zombies (after bo4 look like a joke)
- poor multiplayer
- story have only one interesting mission but stolen from another game - hitman -
Dec 4, 2020Просто ужасная часть серии. Русофобия, баги, полностью унылая игра. Не покупайте!

Dec 4, 2020Campaign and Zombies are a blast, the core experience Multiplayer is a mess but a couple months of patches will help enormously particularly the aim assist that prevents you for aiming towards a person.

Nov 15, 2020Im done with this game, it feels cheap i knew the multiplayer is trash the first time i saw the trailer its bo4 with better graphics and stupid guns feel , but my only hope was the zombie and **** they fked it up so hard that it feels like a roblox map with stupid ideas i swear i played better maps in roblox
-
Nov 21, 2020Multiplayer sucks thanks to sbmm, a lot of people are camping, how the hell do you want us to have fun? This is the worst call of duty in history. The only good thing about these games are the zombies and campaign. The treyarch does not listen to its community. they don't care, come on treyarch just remove sbmm and it will be a great game
-
Nov 23, 2020Based on the trailers with Regan and Yuri Bezmenov I thought for sure this game would be based. But instead it's just an anti American propaganda piece. I've literally bought every single Treyarch Call of Duty because I am an avid Zombies fan. Never again.
I was so excited for this campain too. Screw you Activition. Get woke go broke. -
Nov 24, 2020Even with having above the recommended specs on PC my game still drops in FPS down to 8 FPS for like 4-5 seconds out of nowhere, EVERY MATCH. This is a horrible lazily optimized port of this game and it makes me sad to say, but I will be getting a refund and (maybe) playing when it gets fixed. Absolutely unacceptable for a $60 dollar game released in 2020. Such a cheap cash grab.

Aug 10, 2021If you are looking for a real multiplayer game, just wait for Battlefield 2042.
-
Nov 15, 2020Миссия "сломанная челюсть", когда прилетаешь на вертолёте в деревню – отключается геймпад. В мультиплеере тоже такое было. Интерфейс забагованный. Ужас.
-
Nov 17, 2020I'm still playing the same game with better grafics and some battlefield dinamics
-
Nov 22, 2020This game is repetitive and boring and bad. They’ve used an old engine from 2015 & didn’t bother with a major upgrade to the game. Modern warfare reboot of 2019 was the real upgrade using a fresh new engine to the whole franchise. This game is a downgrade compared to the 2019 COD, worse graphics, audio & visuals, not worth it. Treyarch at this point are the worst studio making COD.
-

Jan 11, 2021Not worth it at all. The gameplay is bad in the story mode and multiplayer as well, the only positive thing about this game is zombies witch is actually fun. The campaign is poor, the story is boring and the characters aren't anything special at all
-

Feb 3, 2021The worst call of duty experience ever, multiplayer is absolute dogsh*t and sbmm ruins all the fun and the game is not balanced at all. Nothing new from activision.. just disappointment 0/10
-
Nov 30, 2020First of all.. The Gameplay is not so bad. The movement is ok and the weapons have a good feedback. But what about the graphics? It is 2020, but the graphic is really really bad. And why are thy selling the Game for 60,-? That are the two biggest critics on the game. The price and the bad graphic. Why should i pay that much money for a game that looks like a game from years ago.
-
Oct 9, 2021The most buged game i ever played, crashes 3 times a day and problems from the first season are still there. Actually, Cyberpunk 2077 have less bugs ans crashes
-
Nov 14, 2021There's nothing that I can say that hasn't already been said. Battle pass, microtransations, crap overpriced game.
-
Nov 15, 2020It was so far from call of duty soul
You guys f*cked it up
It war boring and with blended with black ups and modern warfare
What!!!!!!!!!!!&-/ -
May 19, 2021The worst cod made in recent year , the snipers are too op each match has 60-70 percent snipers quick scoping the entire game save money dont buy this crap
-

Apr 23, 2021Every season this game gets more and more problems. It‘s just a scam what Treyarch and Activision is doing with this franchise and their community. Buggy, **** matchmaking but a few imfluencers still support this, just because they‘re payed by activision.
-
Nov 27, 2020Alternate gender during the Cold War? Stop indulging SJWs, they don't play your games.
-
Nov 19, 2020Fully crashed twice in a row (frozen screen, console unplugged and risk of damaging hard drive).
Graphics are terrible and animation is even worse, feels like 10 years ago. Gameplay sucks, this is just unfinished garbage. Last time I throw away money on this series, a shame. -
Jan 27, 2021Haven't bought the game yet but the beta multiplayer was ok i had fun but im a huge zombies fan and the free beta access for a week i played was absolutely terrible, didnt felt like zombies at all i mean you can start with a rifle WHAT IS THIS you are supposed to start with a m1911 and end with a puck a punched ray gun. They ruined the franchise once again

Nov 15, 2020I only bought the game for couch coop... At launch, no offline, after the update, there is none. What a disappointment this is my last cod game. The ttk is a good middle ground and the multiplayer maps are better than the last one. Zombies got updated but now feels too easy and the buildables/Easter egg got simplified.

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]
