Dec 24, 2020I loved this game! They have prestige mode, and is frenetic, good maps, I love call of duty
-
Dec 30, 2020The focus mode on the snipers, how It doesn't have a time limit is awesome and yall should keep that up. It is definitely hands down the best cod I've played. You won't regret buying it. People complaining saying this game sucks, you'll always have those cry baby people with the need to complain. no matter what. Definitely worth the price. Very fun

Jan 2, 2021Truly just an awful game, downloaded the demo during the free week and hated every minute of it, instant uninstall, multiplayer is garbage

Mar 1, 2021this game is really fun but i am not a fan it resets your level every season in online cod bo3 does not do that. story mode is not that good. online is so fun. and zombies is one of the best zombies i am surprised of how good it is for a new game still can't compete with cod b03 zombies but this cod game is surprisingly better than i thought

Nov 14, 2020Just have to say one thing, everyone who says cold war zombies is garbage or trash is stupid. Almost all the best zombies players in the world love it. Just saying. I also just love how almost ever cod player all of a sudden thinks they are a expert on every aspect of cod. If you don't like the game don't buy it, it's that simple because complaining is not helping to fix any problems.

Nov 14, 2020This game is not bad. Finnaly COD have good story and not bad gameplay. Good work Treyarch

Nov 15, 2020Way better than Modern Campfare in every aspect.

Nov 14, 2020Excelente história. Multiplayer bem fluido e modo zumbis mais acessível ao público casual.
-
Nov 14, 2020This game is wonderfull. Time to kill is so good, the back of pretige System was so good for people who like this system to level up. The maps are playable, different from MW 2019
Este jogo está incrivel, tempo de matar está muito bom e a volta do sistema de prestigio fora muito boa para quem gosta de um jogo à moda antiga, mesmo tendo algumas diferenças. Além dos mapas estarem jogáveis -
Nov 15, 2020I have no idea how the game is! It will not let me f**king play it! I got past the start screen ONCE! It let me play 30 minutes of Zombies cause it would not match with anyone in multiplayer. Then would not let me match again in Zombies! I want my money back you f**king crooks! Never ever buying another COD game again!

Nov 17, 2020This game brought perfection to the call of duty series, zombies is fun and casual, multiplayer is fun as hell, and the campaign is interesting, hope you found this helpful.
-
Nov 15, 2020Honestly in my opinion the games good not great but I'm only giving this game a 8 out of 10 because the game just doesn't have enough content, I loved the campaign just to short, multiplayer is well just okay.
-
Nov 15, 2020Auu developers! There are more cheaters than regular players in your game!!

Nov 15, 2020Better than gaynite loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooiooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooL

Nov 16, 2020Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's only saving grace is it's excellent Campaign storyline and it's nostalgic Zombies mode.
If you only buy Call of Duty for the Multiplayer like most do. Please do not waste your money. I know you will read this and still buy it just to find out. Just remember I have warned you -
Nov 18, 2020Slightly better than modern warfare, but only in the sense that there's no 725 shotgun
-
Dec 1, 2020The best COD game we've had after a long time! More fast-paced, better ranking system, zombies is hyping, and the Elims/death ratio is a helluva lot better than the Kill/Death ratio of Modern Warfare. No more sweating to try to kill someone only to get the assist at the end. Also can't wait for Battle Pass and League Play coming soon!!
-
Nov 29, 2020I love this game. I don't know what everyone is complaining about. The maps are well set up and I love nuketown. And on this one unlike modern warfare, people actually die when you shoot them. Most fun I have had in a long time. Only problem is the glitches need to be fixed and more content. The last two cod I have hated and thus one made up for it.
-
Dec 10, 2020I'm really enjoying the game , zombies is awesome , multiplayer is already good but is getting improved !!!

Nov 14, 2020Unlike Modern Warfare, this game is NOT for scrubs. It isn't a campfest that allows you to camp in windows or high platform vantage points everywhere for free kills and that's why it's getting such low scores. This is what Call of Duty USED to be 10 years ago, and it's finally back.
-
Nov 14, 2020Great game campaign probably the best over me 2019 mp has a great twist to it and zombies oh don't get me started!!!! I can't wait for warzone
-
Mar 7, 2021Great soundtrack and ambient, every mission is unique, overall a pretty fun game

Nov 15, 2020After one year of suffering with MW Treyarch is back. Campaign is awesome, fun and mind blowing, Multiplayer is Black ops 1 + Black ops 3, 4 so its fun, chaotic, full of action. Zombies are awesome too.
I am glad Treyarch is back and I cant wait for content what come this year. -
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 17, 2020The game is solid and with good content, multiplayer still fun and different than the last trial ( much faster)
Maps are very good and fresh. -

Nov 16, 2020Neta, como le hacen para hacer un juego tan miado cada año? Entiendo que tienen que hacer un juego nuevo cada año, pero no les sirve de nada los juegos pasados? Balance de armas de mierda y siempre son las mismas, errores en camuflajes como cada año, unas retículas del culisimo. Lleno de errores y todo mierda de veras

-
Apr 21, 2021In just a simple few words :boring and huge downgrade when compared to cod modern warfare
-
Nov 30, 2020Cold War is a solid game. Although connection errors and party not available happens a lot and the menu doesn't run that smooth on ps4. Gameplay is fun but sometimes ruined by campers with snipers and shotguns, but what do you expect from Cod
-
Dec 23, 2020Call of Duty fans rejoice! Cold war is finally the redemption to all the horrible games like infinity war and BO3. The campaign for this game is AMAZING. There hasn't been a multiplayer this good in a few years, though it loses points for all the visual bugs and split screen issues.

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 15, 2020nice graphic that's it that always angry and angry Russians is annoying and meanwhile racist you can't say anything against women or gays or against Afro-American people but always the angry Russians what they should measure that is racist against Russians but well, that's normal, you can do that only be angry with no one can say anything but the bad Russians

May 10, 2023the 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 -
Nov 18, 2020i think is a god call of duty is a new air to the black ops franchise the history of the cold war is very interesting the zombies mode i think isthe best one of the franchise the multyplayer need upgrades of the map in conclusionis very funny cod with friend
-
Nov 18, 2020Zombies and Story is very nice. Multiplayer not that great every game feels the same and the connection is not as great because of the matchmaking.
-
Nov 18, 2020Trash game there is nothing good about it at all No balance in this game it all doesn’t worth a dollar

Nov 30, 2020So disappointed in this game. Such a massive step back from modern warfare. This game is crap. I'll stick with the technically superior game. I hope next years move back in the right direction.

Dec 8, 2020get rid of SBMM, quit gaslighting. yes, SBMM was in cods prior to MW and cold war, but was limited to lobby balancing. Leave the SBMM to ranked play, nobody wants this trash.
-
Dec 22, 2020The most garbage CoD game ever simply tragic, so sorry I wasted my money and time on it and now it’s ruining MW because the devs aren’t focused on it anymore because this train wreck is the new one out
-

Dec 25, 2020trash game ever seen. shame on. multiplayer like a POINT BLANK, engine,maps,charcters looks like a copied trash. fight system is trash,campagin mode is trash,booring and very short. everything is trash. dont waste your time and money to this
-
Dec 25, 2020this game is the epitome of boring, it exemplifies everything a cod game should not be. Bad gun play, zombies is extremely boring and is only fun for about an hour and the map sucks, limited maps and they’re really bad all the while.

Mar 12, 2021A travesty of a game, a complete joke compared to the previous years modern warfare title
-
Apr 24, 2021Really fun, I don't get why it is getting hate and backlash. The gameplay is great, the campaign is great, zombies is great. EVERYTHING IS GREAT.
-
Jul 9, 2021Thoroughly played every CoD ever released, can confidently say this is the worst by an incredibly substantial margin; and we haven’t even started taking about the cesspool of a community.
-
Oct 4, 2022The best Cod game in the last 2 years. Great story, very very good characters. Also, a great twist at the end too. I hope that they keep doing this kind of stories. I didn't play the multiplayer though. So I can't say anything about it. The only problem I have with it is the anti Russia propaganda. I hate the fact that they always make Russia the bad guy.
-
Sep 20, 2022Ten 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.
-
Apr 7, 2023I love feeling you in game haptic feedback control and graphic amazing and I recommend pick one up in store
-
May 10, 2023The tundra is my baby and I will defend it to the ends of the earth, the combat was **** the community was **** the battle pass was **** but the tundra oooooh baby the tundra.... I like the tundra I LOVE THE TUNDRA
-
Nov 19, 2020Practically unplayable. Couldn't even finish the campaign because it was so broken it hard locked my entire console....three...times. This isn't simply unpolished it's F'ING RAW!!!!!!
The multiplayer, warzone, and even zombies don't really interest me and I have no desire to try them after dealing with this uncooked slop Activision has the gall to charge full price for. -
Apr 26, 2021We back i time not only story wise but also technically,gameplay and sound. The game is just bad.
-
Dec 1, 2020Decent multiplayer game, but as always they focus on the younger generation. Small maps, easy kill, no strategy team play.
-
Nov 18, 2020Im really enjoying this game. Multiplayer is so much better then last years modern warfare.

Nov 22, 2020I really should've skipped this one. I just bought the last COD and really liked the campaign. The campaign for this one is really bad. Should've saved my money and just replayed the last COD.
-
Nov 15, 2020Very disappointing. I loved the 2019 MW, and expected something similar, but this is just not there. Shallow story and short campaign, worse graphics than MW, and some small bugs on XB1X. Bought the disc luckily, hope I can sell it for a good price.
-
Dec 3, 2020Do not buy if you played and enjoyed Modern Warfare this game is complete garbage! Everything is worse than the previous game, multiplayer is a joke be it the awful movement or the dumb as **** map intros or the take 50 years to level 1 weapon to max level. Don't buy, even if its on sale don't buy, if it was free don't waste your hard drive space its not worth it.

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]
