    Narrative: 8/10
    The campaign was short but exciting & effective. I had a lot of fun playing through it. The final mission alone might be worth the price of admission.

    Gameplay: 8/10
    There's nothing groundbreaking here, it's pretty much your standard Call of Duty gameplay. But it works just as it has for the past 10+ years and makes for a satisfying FPS experience

    Online/Zombies: 7/10
    i should start by saying I'm not the biggest fan of zombie game modes, but I will admit that this one was pretty fun. The multiplayer aspect shows some improvements from previous titles and is pretty entertaining as well. One gripe that I have is that there are some really sh*tty maps that get old very fast.

    Overall Score 7.7/10

    I play Call of Duty for zombies so that's my bias. The campaign is pretty good, dare I say one of the best campaigns I've played from COD, the multiplayer is pretty much what you expect. Another COD multiplayer. None of them are particularly outstanding, not even the latest modern warfare. The zombies is incredible. I have played every zombies since BO1 and this has some huge potential.I play Call of Duty for zombies so that's my bias.

None of them are particularly outstanding, not even the latest modern warfare. The zombies is incredible. I have played every zombies since BO1 and this has some huge potential. There's finally more to the game then just go get a box weapon, pack it, get your perks and do the easter egg. You have to think about prioritizing kill streaks vs armor, paying to start trials vs buying a couple box weapons every round. You are actually challenged to think about your strategy and trust your team to help you. If you don't have a good team, good luck winning in zombies. The rest of the game I feel is about a six or seven, COD doesn't get me excited anymore, they're just generic shooters and this is done as well as any other imo. The zombies is easily a 9.5 for me, ias soon as we get more maps that goes up to a 10. I do think this might be my favorite zombies experience to date, packaged with a somewhat normal multiplayer shooter and decent campaign. Expand

    This game is not perfect by any means but it is no where near as bad as people on here make it out to be. For starters, it is 100% certainly without a doubt better than Modern Warfare. Let me explain why
    The GOOD
    - Minimap: There is a minimap, crazy enough this isn't a gimme these days - Gunplay: the guns are fun to use and there is 20 at launch with new unlockables coming each season,
    This game is not perfect by any means but it is no where near as bad as people on here make it out to be. For starters, it is 100% certainly without a doubt better than Modern Warfare. Let me explain why
    The GOOD
    - Minimap: There is a minimap, crazy enough this isn't a gimme these days
    - Gunplay: the guns are fun to use and there is 20 at launch with new unlockables coming each season, as well as one unlockable currently in the "pre-season"
    - Balancing: the game is already balanced well with the exception of a couple things that will likely be tweaked within the first patch (ex. Field Mics, MP5, M16)
    - Menu music: Small detail not many care about but it is easily the best menu music of any COD
    - UI: Excellent user interface that showcases in-depth weapon stats including ADS speed, Sprint to fire time, damage dealt at each range, and tons of other stats for each weapon like never before seen in any COD
    - Challenges / Camos: Excellent way of organizing and showcasing challenges, giving the player something to be working towards in terms of a better camo unlock system, including a variety of camos that are obtainable, also an addition of zombies challenges that provide zombie gold, zombie diamond, and zombie dark matter camos
    - Customization: tons of options for attachments, gunsmith is back but better than ever, wildcards that affect perks, attachments, secondaries and lethals
    - Combined Arms: an easy laid back game mode that is made to chill and drink a beer with friends without the worry of SBMM

    The BAD - al
    - Lack of Maps: Only 8 maps and 2-3 are bad: Satellite, Armada and Miami although I particularly don't mind Miami but most dislike it. COD is now focusing on providing a continuous product. If you buy this game, it's not a finished product but more like an updated monthly service. Treyarch has announced 3-5 new maps will be coming in Season 1 (December 10)
    Lack of 6v6 modes: could use more traditional 6v6 modes, no Capture the Flag, Headquarters, and many other respawnable 6v6 modes, also no Ground War (Contains TDM, Dom, Hardpoint, KC, and FFA as the only respawnable 6v6 modes)
    Snipers: A lot will fight me on this but the snipers need to be nerfed, maybe not them themselves but there is an attachment that lowers the ADS time to be on par with some assault rifles, which is ridiculous. Snipers can also use attachments which remove their flinch. Both these attachments are broken
    - Fireteam Dirty Bomb: it's bad and confusing, just trying to be like fortnite multiplayer mode, just strange
    - Leaderboards: Glitched and not available currently
    - Poor Mid Tier Scorestreaks: Most mid tier scorestreaks feel weak. Sentry turret is easily destroyed, napalm fire doesn't stay on ground, Artillery is a small radius of bomb
    - Bullet velocity: stronger than any COD before, all attachments for all weapons, especially SMG's must use any attachment that improves bullet velocity

    The UGLY - not fixable, here to stay
    - Leveling: Confusing, odd, better than Modern Warfare, why can't we just have normal prestige? Apparently there are two seperate levels, season level and rank level? Little info online to find on the subject, some youtubers even suggest their level is glitched because it shows two different levels after prestiging, no one seems to understand how the leveling works once you enter prestige
    - SBMM: By far the worst part of the game, this game seeks to keep everyone's KD and Win/Loss between 0.75-1.25. It's most certainly possible to get out of this range, but it will put you into a much more difficult lobby, the higher your K/D and W/L. Sucks to play with friends with higher stats than you because it is certainly noticeable. One friend with a 2.5 K/D, i can't play with because I struggle to go positive each game but if I play with another friend with a 0.8 K/D, I finish each game on the top of the leaderboards. Very noticeable
    - Scorestreak System: Awful, no killstreaks, no scorestreaks. Rather everyone utilizes killstreaks through death though with a multiplier the bigger the streak. Unfortunately, the end of the game turns into everyone calling in streaks the same time. If you fall behind in Dom, Hardpoint, or other objective game modes you won't get your streaks to try to come back until the game is already decided. No one even knows how the multiplier works
    - Map Design: some of the maps are pretty bad, Satellite, Miami, Armada. They flow pretty bad and are way to open, encouraging snipers, campers, and slow gameplay. Please give us normal 3 lane maps
    - Shotgun secondaries: speaks for itself, these should not be secondaries and everyone uses them. No more running up on snipers, everyone has a shotgun

    Campaign: Great story and the inclusion of multiple endings is what the game really needed and having the choice to create a character whos name for some reason is bell which is a f****** stupid name for a character. The story is not as good as MW2019 or BO1-BO2 but is a improvement on BO3s **** show.
    Zombies: best part of the game by far and i am very exited for the extra DLC maps coming forward, the guns and story are great and it has really improved from BO4 and its lesser zombies.

    Overall the game is an upgrade to MW and i am very exited to see where they take the game forward.

    Clearly a work in progress at release, but it has the groundwork for a game that will improve greatly over time. It's fun right now and will hopefully get way better by the spring with new maps and patches.

In just 9 missions Cold War manages to tell a great story that ends too damn early. Just when you're getting invested in it, it begins to close. The decisions you make, while they can change the course of the mission, have no significant impact on the endings. There's a lots of useless or unnecesary content, like the side missions, or the briefings that feels like they put their time in for nothing, instead of making the story a bit longer.

    Points: 8.4
    It could have been a masterpiece, but it was rushed.

    Multiplayer: Gameplay isn't as crisp and comlpete like other entries, and tries to find a balance between the old cod and new cod. The gun variety is a bit lower in comparison to past games, but most of the arsenal seems to be really balanced, with the exception of a couple that need adjustments. The scorestreak system is confusing, and it even feels random at times, and is not as rewarding as the old system. The classic mode maps presented in beta are as good as they were in it, but the game only adds two new maps at launch that feel liek they were made with already made assets for the sake of having more maps. Combined Arms is pretty unengaging. The players is set in a large scaled scenario to battle for objectives in teams of 12 players, with many tools at their disposal, like vehicles to travel between locations, armored ships, and turrets in key locations. The mode tries to elevate the classic multiplayer experience, however, for some reason it keeps the same basic objetctives and brings nothing new to them. The potential is there, but for some reason is not used. If the mode offered something like, to try and blow up bombs in the enemy ship, or a large scale conquer domination where a team needs to defend multiple locations around the map, and the other has to take all before time runs out, it would be a hit, but for some reason they decided to use their bigger and newer playgrounds to play the same patio games.

    Points: 7.8
    Balanced and fun gameplay but leaves areas with untapped potential and lacks a LOT of content. Like, a damn lot of content.

    Zombies:

    Gameplay brings a new progression system that force the player to keep up with it by saving up and collecting the three currencies (points, salvage, hg salvage), to use it on anything they want out of the 14 types of object at its disposal, like a war machine, a C4 a sentry turret, a chopper gunner to annihilate massive hordes in lots of different ways, or to keep up with armor and gun damage level and perks that will save their ass. Die Maschine, is a let down from past launch maps. The place feels empty in the outside areas, and cluttered on the insides. Aesthetically, fails at developing a concept. Every other Treyarch map has a unique style and mood, whereas this one, is the first zombies map that feels like it has no personality. Maps like Shadows of Evil not only had a present and flashy aesthetic, but also pushed the inmmersion to its limits by making a unique HUD, custom perk jingles, made up brands and locations. Die Maschine is torn up between being, a WW2 abandoned experiment bunker, a nuclear fallout, and an abanoned crash site, and every style is half way achieved and divided heavily in the areas of the map. The only achievement is the Dark Aether dimension, where the map turns into this psychodelic and magic light show that looks amazing, but the mode is only available for a minute and a half every now and then, and brings nothing to the gameplay. The new crafting system also deprives the map from having its own traps and equipment to push its narrative. The Wonder Weapon has a nice concepts but fails at being damage effective, and on top of that, the different upgrades bring nothing new and feel generic. The main easter egg quest is extremely short, unengaging, and fails at telling a compelling story to the events of the map, and instead just goes through random bits of storytelling that can't form a consistent storyline. The Boss zombie, is not dangerous at all and brings no challenge to the player, but instead is an annoying projectile launching bullet sponge that after being killed decides to split in two faster and more annoying versions of the iteself. You can also purchease a random that challenge that rewards the player depending on how well they did, however, the rewards are most of the time neither worth the challenge, nor the price. The only thing that saves this empty mess, is its layout, since it has very fun and unique areas to play in, where you can climb up and down on the crashed plain parts, run around in open and empty areas, or enter more tight areas surrounded by resources.

    Points: 8.8

Multiplayer on the other hand is a 50/50 thing for me, It's fun but there are major balancing issues, but i'm sure they will be fixed in a future update. I think the campaign is really good, I can say that I like it more than Modern Warfare, the level designs are really good, and I feel like an agent trying to hunt down Soviet spies, and all the innovations make it a very enjoyable experience. As it currently stands, I think it is a good game, but their are a lot they need to fix, but it will be fixed just like every new game, there are problems and then they are fixed, and I hop activision fixes these problems.

    This is all coming from someone who has played very few COD games. The game excels in zombies and campaign. However, multiplayer is average at best. In game soundtrack is very good. Noticing a ton of idiots with either 1 or 10s. The game is neither.

    I was recently brought back to cod in 2019, I loved modern warfare, but cold War hits differently. It brings me back to the days of the old cods.

    I love the aesthitic of the game and the weapons are all enjoyable to shoot and play with. Campaign feels like metal gear solid 5 with the spy factor and espionage. I have the most fun in personalizing my classes to fit the aesthitic. Zombies

    Jogabilidade: 9.0/10 - Excelente jogabilidade, com boa fluide, ótima variedade de armas, sendo a precisão e realismo dos combates quesitos que eu vejo como bastante positivos. O mesmo vale para o controle de veículos do jogo.

    História: 9.0/10: A história é excelente, ao meu ver. Retrata um dos períodos mais importantes do século XX, que é a Guerra Fria, onde fica claro que os vilões são os comunistas (que de fato são), mas os americanos estão longe de serem santos (não são mesmo). Ela é bastante imersiva e suas decisões e missões secundárias interferem inclusive no desfecho do jogo, que possui diferentes (e surpreendentes e excelentes finais). Não dou 10 porque o modo Single Player é mais curto do que eu acho que poderia ser. Mas nada que comprometa de fato a história. Sem mais detalhes para não dar spoiler.

    Personagens: 9,5/10 - Os personagens do jogo são incríveis, alguns deles inclusive reais (como Ronald Reagan e Mikhail Gorbachev) únicos em suas características e, mesmo os secundários, tem relevância na história. Os protagonistas são muito bem desenvolvidos e a história do personagem que vc controla, praticamente o jogo todo, é simplesmente de cair o queixo.

    Diversão: 9.0/10 - A diversão maior fica por conta do modo Zombie (Multiplayer) que é bem produzido, contendo inclusive uma história excelente, baseada em partes em fatos reais (como a iminente ameaça de uma guerra nuclear apocalíptica entre EUA e URSS), onde suas decisões interferem diretamente no desfecho do jogo; além de plot twists, como todo grande jogo deve ter; personagens muito bem desenvolvidos (especialmente o protagonista que vc joga), sendo alguns deles reais; gráficos de alta qualidade e diversão garantida pra quem curte um grande jogo action/shooter, especialmente no modo Zombies. Pra mim, é um jogo que entrará para a história pela forma incrível que ele retrata um marco da História: a Guerra Fria.

    Nota Final: 9.0/10 - O jogo faz jus ao status de uma das maiores franquias de todos os tempos que é o COD, com uma história excelente, com direito a plot twists, como todo grande jogo deve ter e finais diferentes, de acordo com as decisões e missões que vc conclui; personagens muito bem desenvolvidos (especialmente o protagonista que vc joga), sendo alguns deles reais; gráficos de alta qualidade e diversão garantida, especialmente no modo Zombies (Multiplayer). Enfim, pra mim, esse jogo ficará marcada como um Masterpiece dos games, pelo conjunto da obra e qualidade na forma que ele aborda um dos assuntos mais importantes da história recente: a Guerra Fria.

    With 40 bucks I'm actually having a lot of fun with all game modes. The terrible part is the SBMM system. It's beyond control since it literally lags you spontaneously in game when the system is trying to balance you while facing an enemy who's underdog to you. This is **** up. But other than that, it's great.

    It has achieved one of the most pleasant FPS gameplay in the industry, in addition to a sound configuration that makes you feel sensations closer to the physical ones only through sound (I have no vibration since I play on PC with keyboard and mouse).
    I enjoyed the Modern Warfare multiplayer more than Cold War multiplayer, but in everything else Cold War seemed much better, especially with Outbreak, this being the zombies mode that I have ever enjoyed the most and to which I am very very very hooked playing solo and co-op.

    First the campaign. One of few games that puts quality over quantity. You can finish the story in around 5 hours, but it's absolutely amazing, one of the best campaigns in all call of duty games. During some parts you can really feel like you're a agent during the cold war. One of the best parts of the single player experiences for me

During some parts you can really feel like you're a agent during the cold war. One of the best parts of the single player experiences for me was finding clues to other missions and deciphering them so that i can get acces to them. And both endings at the end of the game are amazing and unexpected which makes them even better.
    When it comes to multiplayer, it's made so that it is similiar to older COD game. Modern Warfare added a completely new gunplay and customization which was great. The varaiety of weapon customizaton in the new Black Ops isn't possible because the game takes place in 80s when guns weren't that customizable.
    The overall gamplay is more dynamic with smaller maps and new perks. It really is hard to camp in one place and kill somebody.
    For now there isn't that much content as there is in MW, because like in the previous game it's going to be added overtime.
    And now the zombies. To be honest the new zombies are great. The option of upgrading perks, weapons, field upgrades, picking a modified gun from your loadout changes the game completely. The game now isn't so based of getting a Ray Gun from a mystery box. For now there isn't much content, there are only two normal zombie maps and a new Outbreak mode which now has 5 diffrent maps.
    Overall it's a very good game. Of course it is something diffrent from Modern Warfare but it's not necesirly worse, it all depends on what people want from an FPS.

The game has so many different nice looking locations to offer, although it mostly consists of just shooting, there are some great stealth missions too. Sometimes the game even allows you to approach a certain situation in different ways and gives you options too.

    My problem is that even on hardened difficulty, the game is pretty easy for the most part, except for some scripted events, which feel pretty unfair at times.

    Overall a nice COD game.

    Top Feuergefecht war auch hier mein hauptspiel im Mehrspieler aber der zombie modus ist einer der besten seit cod black ops 2 hier habe ich mehr Zeit verbracht als im Mehrspieler modus weil es einfach nur sehr gut ist und es mehr Spaß macht als Mehrspieler wo jeder 2. Spiele nur campt und nichts kann außer zu gammeln und anderen den Spaß zu ruinieren

    Es un juego bueno, aunque realmente fue muy infravalorado en su tiempo, la comunidad lo juzgo mal por su multijugador, aunque su historia es buena y la jugabilidad mejor.

    The campaign is the best! I really enjoyed and play with a great pleasure! And I like that developers focused on so many details of gear in the game. Great job! I like this game much more than MW2 2022.

    3 years down the line this game stands as the best cod multiplayer of modern cod, amazing maps, fantastic zombies mode, a good movement mechanism, good ranked and competitive modes, fun to play, a decent campaign and yeah that's just it. It's amazing what they were able to do with COVID going on, Treyarch being given the project halfway through, rushing to out and still being good.

    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]
