Nov 14, 2020Ужасная игра!!!! , полное днище!!!
В игре плохо все стрельба, анимации и т.д
Графика гавно !
Просто тупо БО4 СЕЗОН 2
Это игра вообще не нужна она пустая . -
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

Nov 17, 2020Veryyyy badd veryyyyyyyytt bad veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

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.

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 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 14, 2020Games aren't like how they used to be. Sad. Horrible zombies mode. Tried to appeal to multiplayer.
-
Aug 6, 2021This game is so bad. Everything what you like in Moder Warfare, this Game hasn’t it. It’s ugly, control sucks and gameplay sucks too. Don’t buy it!!!

Dec 13, 2020Ce jeu est bourré de bugs Le mode zombie en ligne injouable tu trouves aucun joueur multi-joueurs xp est beaucoup trop long
-
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.

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.
-
Apr 6, 2021Another garbage fps game from activision
With all respect for developers !!! -
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.
-
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 14, 2020this game is old. it'a ps3 game. don't buy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
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 17, 2020Multiplayer is **** **** ..... MW is far better than this garbage .... **** you developers forcing us to play on SBMM .... **** idiots

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.

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 15, 2020There is a good game here and it is destroyed by SBMM. It is an experience that is impossible to enjoy
-
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, 2020Its trash graphics are so bad,they look like a toy,aiming fells weird,and gameplay is not fun

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, 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.
-
Feb 17, 2021This game is actually horrendous. No one moves ever. There are no routes to the camping spots and all this game makes me want to do is go back and play modern warfare. Honestly a waste of money.

-
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. -

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.
-
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 14, 2020Downgrade from Modern warfare.
Feels like a 360 game.
Constant connection errors, stiff controls, bad graphics. -
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 14, 2020You know what **** yeah! This game sucks don't buy lol Just take one look at the zombies menu and the grenade throw animation this is so unfinished it is laughable. This has to be some kind of out season April fools joke and the punch line is people actually giving them money for this quality.

-
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
-
Nov 15, 2020It took 5 hours to download this game and I can’t even play it. It keeps saying connecting to online servers and never loads. Truly disappointed
-
Nov 15, 2020This game feels like arcade. It is really Modern Warfire downgrade and i cant refund this trash

Nov 15, 2020Auu developers! There are more cheaters than regular players in your game!!

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.
-
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.
-

Nov 15, 2020No content at all. The multiplayer have 8 maps in total, the campaign is 3 hours long and zombies story is gone.

-
Nov 16, 2020Once again, the Russians are to blame for everything, and the brave knights are saving the planet...
-
Nov 16, 2020Absolutely no content at launch horrible hit registration and worst than modern warfare and even Bo4 in every way don't buy especially at launch

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]
