    This game is super laggy, takes forever to load in, and cutscenes are super laggy even though most of it old war footage.

    It would be alright for a game that maybe costs $20 but it's $70 for next-gen consoles! People who paid for the regular $60 version and have an Xbox series x now have crashing consoles because Activision doesn't care about their games. Short pathetic campaign and the multiplayer is slow.

    This game hardly runs on ps5. Multiplayer is garbage, campaign is boring, zombies crashes and drops to 15 FPS on the NEW PS5! I’ve had enough of this dev. They are lazy, and Sony should do something about it.

    I gave it a 4 for the campaign, multi-player on the other hand deserves 0. Guns are seriously wonky, game feels floaty, not to mention the xm4 is super weak. Nothing about the multi-player is fun.

    The game title speaks for itself; Call Of Duty Black Ops Cold War. This isn't an innovative name like its prequel. This game absolutely disrespects the way Black Ops 1 set the story. The voice acting was, meh. Russell Adler could have been a bad ass, if he had less lines to speak, something like the Noble team from Halo Reach. Frank Woods' was total **** He speaks as if he had just learntThe game title speaks for itself; Call Of Duty Black Ops Cold War. This isn't an innovative name like its prequel. This game absolutely disrespects the way Black Ops 1 set the story. The voice acting was, meh. Russell Adler could have been a bad ass, if he had less lines to speak, something like the Noble team from Halo Reach. Frank Woods' was total **** He speaks as if he had just learnt how to swear. James C Burns could have sparked the character of Woods. Alex Mason was another dogsh*t. Totally disrespecting the character from the prequel. The campaign is, for the most part, feels like Cold War, but doesn't feel like Black Ops. The location are pretty good, but doesn't honor the coolness and the stage set by its prequel. The game, once again has Russians as the villain. The game doesn't want to be innovative. Part of it is due to the toxic community. Surprisingly, the game wants to be non linear. But it feels like the game wanted to do it intentionally so as to earn good reviews about its innovations, something the og cod fans have seen in Black Ops II. A sequel of an awesome game should be innovative and iterative in order to get back the fans who loved the game in the first place. (PS. the AI is so fu*king terrible.)
    The story isn't consistent with the Black Ops trilogy (i.e., BO1, BOCW and BO2). The game wants to explore more ways to let players interact, which hasn't been explored in previous cod titles, and that's the selling point of this game. Overall, campaign is pretty kickass as on its own as a cod game, not as a Black Ops game.
    Now, the multiplayer. This game ranks one above MW 2019 in offering map variety. Eight. Eight fu*king maps!? CoD 4, a game that's 13 years old offered 17 maps. Heck, the prequel this game's based upon offer 14 maps. This is atrocious. Activision/Treyarch have done this intentionally so that they can release cut content as free map dlcs to get good pr. This is completely unacceptable. The gameplay is suited for the campaign, not for the multiplayer. Movement feels clunky and slow. Hit registration is not great. SBMM sucks. Map variety is less. The game wants to feel like BlOps2 multiplayer, but utterly fails at it. The game is yet to implement ranked playlists in its existence of 18 years.
    The Zombies can be fun, but makes Infinite Warfare's zombies a masterpiece and make it comparable to Black Ops 4's zombies. It doesn't feel like zombies. But its, meh. (BTW only 1 map)
    Overall, this game isn't worth 60$. Its atrocious of Activision to charge 70$ for a game that has a lifespan of less than a year. Not worth it. If Treyarch/Activision can use the excuse of COVID 19 for their mistakes, how come the pandemic hasn't stopped them charging players 70$ to play the game?
    This game is one of the worst optimized cod games. The size is ridiculous for the content it offers. Has Treyarch forgotten about compression. It wouldn't be fair as they barely have time to optimize this game as this is an annual release.
    The PS-Activision deal is total dogsh*t. Exclusive zombies mode, extra loadout slots and multipliers on XP on a single platform for one year for a game that barely survives a year of release. Great!
    I give a 1/10 for the things it want's to try in campaign. Now, the fanboys and the "connoisseurs" of call of duty will starting ****    … Expand

    I've been a COD player for over 2 decades and was excited the franchise was taking a turn in the right direction after WW2, (black ops 4 wasn't very good) MW and Warzone are fantastic. This game is a huge disappointment and 4 steps back in the wrong direction. Don't buy it

    Malos gráficos y visibilidad en PS4. Pésimas animaciones. Parece como que vas patinando y no corriendo. Las armas parecen juguetes. Tiene sólo 8 mapas y la mayoría son malísimos, con esquinas y espacios ridículos para campear. Un SBMM asqueroso y todavía mala conexión. No te sentís en la Guerra Fría . Me arrepiento de haberlo comprado.

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So first off let’s start with the multiplayer it’s really fun(sometimes) but every game I go into there are literally campers and snipers at every single corner And the spawn in system is trash cuz you can literally spawn in right in front of an enemy and they can kill you in one of my free for all games I literally just spawn in for the first time and not even 2 seconds later I get killed half of the weapons are trash cuz most of them you’ll just be getting hit markers also the Sentury turrets ate wayyyy to over powered it’s like the second it sees you you get killed with only like one bullet if treyarch banned campers temporarily then multiple would be a lot more fun now let’s move onto my favorite game mode........zombies it’s fun and all but they ruined it at the same time first off you don’t start off with the M1911 you start off with any gun you want and that’s a problem cuz it makes the first few rounds way too easy they even added a radar that allows you to know where exactly the zombies are at they even added an attach helicopter you get to control and it lets you kill all the zombies around the map and that itself makes the game way too easy and it dies he feel like treyarch zombies and you start getting tired of it really fast also that glowing zombie boss that chases you around the map is horrible he’s way too hard and even after you supposedly kill him he splits in half into 2 and he’s even more harder to kill he’s basically just a glowing bullet sponge there’s not that many good guns in zombies Either unless you have the wonder weapon or a ray gun your basically gonna struggle in the later rounds(btw did I mention how it’s almost impossible to get the ray gun out of the box now you basically have a 0.8% chance of ever getting it you can be at round 38 and still not have the ray gun) overall it’s fun but very tiring in the earlier rounds it’s way too easy cuz you can spawn in with any class you created and in the later rounds it’s hard cuz most of the guns start to become trash don’t even bet me started about the hell hounds I use to hate them a little less boy now I hate them even more when they spawn in the whole maps cooler turns into a very brought neon green with fog Making it almost impossible to see them and it’s mad annoying now let’s talk about the campaign(spoiler)it’s so much fun I love how you can do brutal take downs and have an enemy as a human shield and create your own character and even name it and pick your own perks and I also love how you can also play as mason(protagonist from BO1,BO2,and ofc Cold War)and I love how your certain decisions cab effect your ending(will get to that in a minute)but what I absolutely despise is that you have to connect evidence with certain enemies in order to catch them basically you have to decipher notes,codes,figure out terminal passwords and it’s mad annoying so I just skip them I’m not gonna spoil the ending of them but all I’m gonna say is all three endings are trash even the supposedly good ending I got was trash but overall the game itself isn’t that good I still have lots of fun on it(sometimes)if treyarch banned campers temporarily and made zombies how they use to make it and made the guns more realistic and powerful in both zombies and multiple then I would rate this Game 5 stars but I give it 3(also I forgot to mention that the bugs in this game are super annoying most zombies game lobby’s i join it straight up kicks me out after not even a split second and no matter what I do it makes my screen way too big and sometimes in the multiplayer lobby nothing ever shows)… Expand

    Graphics 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.

    The only good thing about it is zombies, they went for something different and i think it was pretty good.
    The multiplayer sucks, only has 8 maps which are all trash.
    The campaign feels rushed and not as good as previous instalments with a really bad and confusing story.
    this game shouldn't be £50 it should have been £20 because the only good thing about it is the zombies.

    Campaign:

    The Campaign in this game is fun got some minor rpg elements in terms of choice for dialogue and what not and can be a good time. Story is more or less what you expect from a call of duty game these days, america good russia bad etc.
    The campaign isnt very long though its roughly 4-5 hours. I also hate the fact that you have to download the campaign into 3 seperate parts the **** is this a telltale game seriously come on now.

    Things can all be grand and dandy as long as it doesnt freeze or crash your system which has happened to me multiple times. It happens specifically on a mission called desperate measures for me. Can really ruin the experience.

    Zombies:

    From a first glance of playthroughs you may be thinking what in the actual **** is this **** But trust me zombies is actually ok its not that bad can be a good time also altough repetitive. Doesn't feel like a Treyarch zombies game at all which is a shame, this one feels more WW2 esque. But hey ill take this over B04 Zombies tbh. Also dont get why zombies and multiplayer have shared levels. Why the **** are we using multiplayer operators aswell instead of some original characters.

    Multiplayer:

    MP5... huge ****ing maps. My advice would be just play hardpoint as i find whenever i play other modes its like playing ****ing COD Ghosts again. Lads sitting in the corner of a room waiting for about 2 minutes for one kill everybody running ghost and as i mentioned above the mp5. Not a fun experience at all unless you fancy smashing your head through your window in frustration.

    Only fun game mode is hardpoint. Seriously if you hate the other modes in this cod just try hardpoint once makes things a little better as you can actually enjoy the game instead of either dying of boredom or frustration from some **** sitting in a room all game doing the worm squirm.

    Overall:
    Campaign is aight besides the constant crashing and length can be enjoyable as long as it works.
    Zombies is fun but will get boring after a while. Would suggest playing with friends if you can as long as they are as unfortunate as us for buying this ****
    Multiplayer just try to steer clear of if you can. its a ****ing mess right now and as i mentioned hardpoint is only enjoyable game mode.

    Can kinda cut them a tiny bit of slack given the good ol pandemic right now but this game feels like an unfinished mess. Either steer clear of it or wait till it drops in price, dont be a ****ing idiot like me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Multiplayer is filled with extremely overpowered weapons and poor map design. The skill based matchmaking system looks good on paper however it can result in a complete unbalance in teams and stops good players from casually having fun. The meta at the moment is m16 - aug - mp5, there is no other reason to use any other guns. In most circumstances these guns will win the gunfight even if the user does not hit the most shots or get the first shot in the engagement. The score streak system results mega streak spam, it is impossible to go 2 minutes without hearing spy plane above. The streak system also results in some players joining the game late and getting less kills, damage or obj and still placing higher on the leader boards due to the bonus from streaks. In addition to the m16 , aug and mp5 being extremely overpowered players must deal with snipers having very little flinch. This results in SMG or AR players landing multiple shots at range but not standing a chance in the engagement against snipers. The map design results in players playing extremely slow due to a ridiculous amount of angles to watch out for whenever pushing any area.
    Some 6v6 maps are better such as crossroads strike and armada strike however playing 6v6 for an extended period of time is mind numbing and extremely draining due to the SBMM. Some maps such as cartel suffer from extreme clutter and visibility issues, on cartel the bushes in the middle of the map result in not being able to see players at all inside of that area, the only way to solve this is to sacrifice an attachment slot to use a flashlight for an extended ads detection range. The game also suffers from many bugs, some i have experienced include completing camo challenges only for the camo not to be unlocked until i restart my game, the shroud skill on zombies glitching players under the map and many more. In the multiplayer there is also a huge problem on armada with spawns and the vehicles in the game. The spawns seem completely unpredictable and almost like the game is just guessing where to spawn a player, multiple times i have spawned on the same spawn boat as multiple enemy players and this results in a free kill for the enemy multiple times. The boats and jet skis are ridiculous. The gunboats are extremely powerful and often players can camp near the zip lines on a spawn boat to guarantee plenty of free kills. The jet skis are extremely buggy often resulting in my own jet ski jumping onto a friendly jet ski or flipping over and pointing me in the wrong direction.
    There are some positives, the guns do feel really nice when the aim assist doesn't bug out and when not facing the overpowered weapons in the game. The movement after a moderate adjustment period feels refined and fast paced, slide cancelling and cameras feel reduced massively resulting in less unwinnable gun fights.
    The zombies mode is actually extremely fun, completing the Easter egg and going through all the steps is one of my favorite parts of the game. The skills and different ways to spend aether crystals results in more creativity with your load out to approach zombies. However upon completion the realization that the calling card for completing the Easter egg isn't even animated and the last 45 minutes to an hour you spent completing it was near pointless. The campaign is rather fun and solving the different puzzles using evidence is quite interesting however it is far too short. The choice of ending is quite interesting and it does allow for you to decide how you want the story to end however the change in cut scenes is rather dull, i wish there was more difference and more explanation at the end to the consequences of your choice. There are many more issues i haven't touched on such as the dullness of multiplayer camos, the lack of difference with the sights for your weapon and how horrible it is to try see a clear sight picture through your site when firing the weapon.

    Skillbased matchmaking ruins the entire game. It has a good foundation, but it continues the path that MW took: lower the skill gap as much as possible, so that the worst player ever will still have a 1.0 K/D and pump the money into Activision's bank account. SBMM and the low skill gap are the reason that this game is absolutely unbearable.

    Non-binary cringe and terrible graphics with a **** campaign. Also the multiplayer has trash maps and gameplay is slow. The beta was better. Only buy it for zombies. Wait for a price drop.

    SBMM makes this game unplayable. often match me with noobs, Noobs will always go negative and I end up losing matches. also because of SBMM, the game takes a long time searching for lobbies, which are usually against COD professional sweats.

We all should make Activision think about bringing out a **** almost every Year or let some time between the games and make them good.

    Everything from the sounds to the graphics to the gun feel seems out of date. The maps have very little variety and are basically 2 dimensional with very little verticality. There are also too many choke points where advancing lanes can be almost completely shut down. Modes like domination can be decided at the beginning of the match. Not polished at all. I feel like I completely wasted my money.

    Campaign was fun, but quite short. No real challenge on regular difficulty, so up it if you want to have to try a little. I’ve never gotten into zombies, but this one seems fun enough.

Zombies I feel has been very fun and have been playing that the most, however, if this game wants a bigger score, it has to fix its multiplayer, sbmm is an awful platform for players as people can reverse boost.

It runs as if it were deliberately designed to run at 5 frames a second. In overall, the game feels like a massive step backwards for the call of duty franchise.

    The campaign is fine, and short, and not the reason anyone buys a COD game. The multiplayer has been an unmitigated disaster from day one.

    The multiplayer has been an unmitigated disaster from day one. For the first weekend, I struggled to even play it because of a bug that would disconnect my controller and force me to restart the PS4 to fix it. There are very few maps, and the layouts for most maps need series tweaking. The weapons are limited, customization was initially non-existent. I hated the multiplayer experience so I played zombies. Which is fun, when it works. Connection problems, long loading times, and having a 70% chance of being thrown into a game in progress (like 10 rounds in to a 20 round game), oh and I’ve never been able to successfully load into an endless zombies game.

    The game is unfinished, textures are plastic and low detail, menus and customization and simplified not as an aesthetic choice, but seemingly because there was no time to finish them. The guns all feel the same-y except for the ones that are horribly balanced,

    Paying full price for a game that has not improved or been optimized since the beta is garbage. Yes there are growing pains at the launch of any online game, but the levels of jank and “let’s just get it out and we’ll patch it later” is unacceptable. They are punishing the people who are the most hyped for their games by shooting out an unfinished mess. Maybe this game will be worth playing in 6 months and 15 more patches, but by then they’ll be halfway through shooting out next years unfinished turd.

    Campaign: 4/10 I have never been a fan of CoD campaigns but this one was better than most. Still not great. I only give it a 5/10 because of how short it was. Normally I don't give a lower score for a shorter story in games, but for the price, I think it's justified.

    Zombies: 5/10 An interstring changeup from the past games. I am not a fan of it, but I am glad they decided to try something new from the regular formula (which is why I'm giving it a 6/10).

    Multiplayer: 2/10 By far the worst mode in the game. A large step back from last year's release, and lacks content overall. Very few weapons, very few maps, and lots of removed mechanics. On top of that, it's going for a more arcade feel, but it feels like they didn't fully commit. it just falls flat.

    Overall, the game is ok, not really fun, but not really bad either. The main issue is the price; it is really not worth the full price for what you get. Who really knows what happened in development when making this game, so I don't want to blame anyone. My recommendation is to just keep playing MW and wait for the next release.

    Campaign is kinda good. But SBMM ruined the multiplayer.. It's taking all the fun out of the game. Ur working 9-5 the only thing u want to do after a hard day of work if u got time for playing, Is to get some relaxed matches. But every match is sweaty like hell.. Remove SBMM and add a ranked playlist

    Graphics

    First time playing i thought i bought old cod title by accident...i was wrong and its not 2010 ok so of anybody asked themselves the same question. A complete step back compared to MW. There is in fact a little more landscape detail but it still looks pre pre gen.

    Details Landscape is okish although only really compareable in pre Videos of sequences.
    Weapons look like toys r us. No love here.
    AND skins are complete trash...
    No **** given on optics and crosshairs wtf is that?!

    Weapon behavior an movement

    Almost all weapons have no recoil so i cant sax much about the behavior but it doesnt feel right to me. Movement is so clunky and garbage compared to MW. I mean it doesnt have to be super 100% realistic, its still an Arcade shooter but why it has to be like super Nintendo? Even the movement animations are like super Mario when you see teammates running or crouching or what ever.
    Throwing tactical Equipment or nades is seriously so **** 2000 animation...

    Weapons and attachments

    MP5 nothing more to say here.
    If you dont for 6 perks MP5 bunny hopping Ninja Assassin stimming around better take the m16 and burst them all from and point of the map.

    The only good thing about this cod title are the attachment stats. A very tiny plus here.

    View and HUD

    Well, i have to put a **** lamp attachment on my gun to see anything. Nothing more to say about the overwiev in most maps. HUD hasnt changed compared to MW

    General campaign

    I played the first mission but canceled due to constant errors. Havent tried it again since then.

    General Multiplayer

    No map diversity. No fresh game modes I thought MW multiplayer was the Definition of camping but here we go. There is lit plenty of spots on every map where you cant compete against other players if they Camp those. Zombies

    The only place where you cant hide A plus here as this mode is really enjoyable But MW had no zombies so its not really a plus and compareable and i dont buy a 70€ game for one good game mode then i rather invest in resident evil All in all i hope everyone who reads this will stick to MW or Warzone and dont waste their money on an unfinished piece of trash

    I hope these devs get a fallout 76 feeling soon before this **** lands into Warzone Sincerely

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SBMM **** up a lot of rounds. And even noobs can get easy killstreaks with camping even if they die.
    Its also a step back compare to MW. A lot of features it had are just removed in cold war or made much more worse. Zombie modus is ok but way too easy and a bit buggy, i mean it makes fun but there is no challenge compare to bo or bo2....
    The Story mode is a bit short but damn good.    … 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]
