    another fine example of pay to win BS. multiplayer is fun, but not when you're level 24 and you are playig against people with level 3000+ and higher, and have guns with zero recoil and heat vision. but don't fret, if you don't want to grind to get better gear, you can just buy better guns for actual money. so yes on to[p of the $$ for the game, you'll have to spend more just to compete.

    Got it for free on PS plus, I really wanted to like this game but even for free it's not worth playing, very poor game. I pity the people who've paid for this scam of a game. I thought about mentioning the errors and flaws in my review but you can write off the entire game as a huge error, RIP call of duty. I'm not going to give this franchise another chance even for free... Pathetic game

Instead they should have gone into aggressive mode and came at me full force.
    The zombies deshawn from in front of you and just appear behind you instead and the megatons spawn in up to 3 at a time just to slow you down but if you thrash them t to run and away and hide too and if you aggravate the game too much it just has a spazz and lag kills you by smashing your amour and just spawning a megaton on you instantly just to kill you lo. .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a terrible game. The game play isn't engaging and the story is boring. The game is short and uninteresting. In addition, why do you let me choose my name and character attributes if I have no voice? Too cheap for voice actors? Don't give me options then. Who cares what I look like? Can't see me. The grenade indicator doesn't show up half the time and then suddenly I'm blown up. No explanation for my deaths. My campaign teammates constantly run out in front of me while shooting or run right out where I've pitched a grenade, and then I'm penalized back to the start of the section for friendly fire. Clearly the AI was made my interns. May just be me but the bullets don't seem particularly accurate. Definitely cheaped out on the collectibles and the whole game feels rushed and cheap. I only paid $40 for cross gen edition and I feel like that was a rip off. I am not even sure I'll even finish the game. Wish I had bought a disc version so I could sell it today.… Expand

    Probably the most hated call of duty but in my opinion its not that bad, its very refreshing from the old modern warfare to a newer more fast-paced call of duty set in a different era, the campaign and zombies is very fun, the multiplayer is mostly good.
    Definetly not the best Call of duty however if your a fan of cod or looking for a more fast-paced shooter then this game is great!

    If you are still buying Call of Duty, I repeat, if you are still buying this occupation, I am sorry for you, but you are very, very low in terms of intellectual level, keep buying it again and again and again, it will never end.

It was great for 1 week, the gameplay is fast-paced and most of the maps are nice too.

But after this one week sbmm made it's job and completely **** the whole game and turned it in one big moisty piece of **** Everyone was constantly camping and pre aiming like they were molested by their creepy uncle when they were a kid. The best example for this bull**** is the map America. EVERYONE was camping on the roofs and in the houses and you could do literally nothing about it because everyone is playing sniper-shotgun and is pre-aiming and even pre-firing like a little **** And it's almost as bad as this in almost every map in the game. Checkmate, Express, Satellite, Apocalypse, Zoo, Echelon, Rush, WMD and Garrison are also played like this by most of the players. The only maps i constantly had fun on are Cartel, Miami, Moscow, Raid, Diesel, Hijacked and Deprogramm. But when everyone would play on them like they were meant to almost every map would be a banger, so it's mostly the players' fault. So if you want to waste money and have fun for one week then i would recommend it. Otherwise just buy BO 4 it's better in almost every aspect.… Expand

    What a load of garbage and downdate compares to ModernWarfare. The campaign is not enjoyable, the graphics look like a 2015 game. Multiplayer is not fun neither.

    Put simply - i will never ever pre-order a cod game again. Having seen how **** this game and the campaign is compared to modernwarfare. Not to mention how op the weapons are in warzone. Basicslly they tried to compensate for the ahite game by overpowering weapons in another. Terribke

    This games saving grace was zombies, the multiplayer of Call of Duty games has only gone down hill over the years with annoying sound design, and system crashing bugs. The gun balance is also, like most CoD games, a big problem with 2-3 guns completely dominating everything else.

    I don't think I'll ever enjoy the community this franchise brings with the amount of racist, homophobic, and downright disgusting people in the forced voice chat. Maybe one day the CoD devs will actually ban people instead of putting up ad screens saying "black lives matter" but until that day the community certainly will not help bring back this franchise to what it once was.    … Expand

In this COD they did that, they put a Zé Mudinho. I bought it on sale and still regretted it.… Expand

    Just... downloads! The campaign takes as long to download as it takes to finish. Even if you purchase the disc version you have tho download the campaign! In three parts. There different down load for textures. Separate downloads for multi-player, splitscreen, and more to play zombies. Utter crap!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game will be expensive for a long time and i wouldnt buy this game just for the Story. Its a pretty good one but the important part is the multiplayer. Skill Based matchmaking is gonna destroy your gaming experience, you still get trash items for free and you have to oay for decent items like kill animations operatir or cool sruff like weapon variants. The new weapons can be unlocked by challenges but the challenges take wayyyy more time. Its basically like a bad mobile game, with the diffeemce that its developed by Activison and made by a Tripple A studio. I never played Zombie Mode so i cant tell something about it. The time to kill someone is Ridicialouse. You cant kill someone when hes pre aiming because he gets you faster than you can react. Its a game for noobs. When youre fremch or not the best shooter played go for it. But as a CoD fan since Black ops 1 and Mw2, i think it is the worst game adter CoD Modern wrfare 2018 and AW… Expand

    Thankfully, a few of the early bugs were ironed out of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and subsequent season passes have patched up modes and maps that were lacking. The campaign is genuinely intriguing but may not appeal to those who just want to run and gun. Zombies and Multiplayer modes are plentiful and there should be something for everyone to thoroughly enjoy. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War should be used as the poster child for PlayStation 5's DualSense controller which has been put to full use for an immersive experience. Casual players will be somewhat put off by the sheer storage space required to fully experience everything that is on offer, especially given that SSD capacity is this generation's gold dust, but Call of Duty die-hards will most likely overlook this.

    I have no doubt that the latest Call of Duty will earn ridiculous amounts of money once again, but I will remember it as a dip in form, a game that’s closer to mediocrity than greatness. The story campaign has a satisfying finale but as a whole is rather uninspired, while the multiplayer has lost the tactical feel I enjoyed in Modern Warfare Remastered. [01/2021, p.56]

    Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is the video game equivalent to that one kid in class with a sugar rush and an addiction to pixie sticks. Sure, it might be entertaining for a little while, but the more time you spend with it, the more you realize it’s just rambling on aimlessly. Ultimately, with its lack of a clear vision and focus on what makes a game fun, Cold War isn’t going to entertain you for long.
