    I only finished the single player campaigns. Typical CoD, nice story with a slightly predictable twist.

    I think what convinces people to buy the game is zombies.

    Verdict: Play campaign once then uninstall to save memory. Try multiplayer- if you're good you'll like it, if not just do zombies until you're bored.    … Expand

    Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War was a pleasant surprise for me, especially considering I'm not usually a fan of shooter games. But this one truly hit different! Playing it on the PS5, thanks to my PSPlus Subscription, was an absolute treat.

But this one truly hit different! Playing it on the PS5, thanks to my PSPlus Subscription, was an absolute treat.

    Let's start with the visuals. The graphics in Black Ops Cold War are simply phenomenal. The level of detail in the environments, character models, and weapon designs is stunning. I found myself getting lost in the immersive and realistic world the game presented. And with the power of the PS5, the experience was taken to a whole new level.

    The Haptic Feedback and Immersive Audio on the PS5 truly made the gameplay even more captivating. Every gunshot, explosion, and movement was brought to life through the controller, making me feel like I was right in the middle of the action. It's a level of immersion that really elevates the overall experience.

    One of the highlights of my time with Black Ops Cold War was playing with my friends in local coop splitscreen. Hours of endless fun were had as we worked together to complete missions and take down enemies. It's always a blast to share the gaming experience with friends, and this game provided plenty of memorable moments.

    However, when it comes to the story mode, I have to admit it didn't quite captivate me as much as I had hoped. While the gameplay was solid and action-packed, the narrative felt a bit lacking compared to some other franchises. It could have benefited from a deeper and more engaging storyline to truly hook players in.

    Despite this, Black Ops Cold War still delivered on its core promise - intense and adrenaline-pumping shooter action. Whether I was engaging in thrilling gunfights, making use of various tactics and strategies, or simply enjoying the stunning visuals, the game managed to keep me hooked throughout.

    In conclusion, Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War is a must-play for fans of the shooter genre, and even for those like me who don't typically gravitate towards these types of games. The visuals, haptic feedback, and immersive audio on the PS5 create an unforgettable experience, and the local coop splitscreen adds a whole new level of fun when playing with friends. While the story mode may not be as deep as some other franchises, the overall gameplay experience more than makes up for it. If you're looking for a thrilling and action-packed shooter game, Black Ops Cold War is definitely worth checking out.    … Expand

    Not even a decent Call of Duty campaign, why bother? Full disclosure, I downloaded this as a PS+ Essential monthly game. I did not play this at launch and really don’t care about unlocking things, season passes, or finding an on-line group for zombies mode.

Full disclosure, I downloaded this as a PS+ Essential monthly game.

    The worst of this game is its enormous file size. Over 170GB of Call of Duty that included a lot of Call of Duty that I did not want and do not need. I think purpose is to so overload your hard drive that you have no space for the competition. No thanks. As soon as I finished the campaign, I freed up my hard drive space. Also bad, Activision wanted me to make an Activision account before unlocking on-line play. Hard pass. Now that Microsoft owns Activision, I am sure this will soon require a Microsoft account. Also a hard pass.

    The campaign itself is hit and miss. Everything looks a little more PS5 than PS4, which is a nice departure from the last console transition. Remember the lackluster graphics of Call of Duty: Ghosts on PS4? The levels are straight from the PS3/Xbox 360 era. Small, linear, and with little fanfare. Remember when games did wild things like have you fight through a building as it toppled over? The set pieces here are mostly reserved for cut scenes. The a.i. is also brain dead. I hear a lot about advances in a.i. yet video game a.i. seemed better in the early 2000s than it does now.

    Gameplay in the campaign is a mix of stealth and traditional Call of Duty. This is no Hitman. Stealth levels are small and stealth actions are stiff. I appreciate the series trying something new. I would have appreciated if the effort was more successful. Really not sure how a war game was going to handle the Cold War. But somehow I am supposed to believe that a small invasion of Russia and Cuba was somehow not going to set off World War III. Something like the old 007 games would have been a better choice. The campaign itself is rather short, 6 hours. Not really worth your hard drive space.

    Because I didn’t make an Activision account, I never tested the on-line game. Does it even matter? The Call of Duty Series is several games past Cold War. I’m sure some people are still playing and I guarantee that their XP unlocks and years of map knowledge means that I am no match for them. Call of Duty needs a neutral game mode like the old Overwatch; something people feel free to jump into at any time.

    The Zombie mode is available for off-line solo play, and I gave it a try. It is interesting, but really made for a larger group. I appreciated the use of color and rounding out a $70 game as a total package for those willing to buy it at launch.

    All-in-all, Call of Duty: Cold War is an interesting experiment like Battlefield: Hardline (the cops versus robbers game). Sure, it didn’t really work, but at least Activision tried. Shame on Activision for souring its product with giant download sizes and an emphasis on signing up for the in-game store. Funny enough, I’ve never actually bought a Call of Duty game even though I have played through most of them. I really don’t get why people buy into this.    … Expand

Multiplayer is fun, there are plenty of weapons to choose from and all maps are unlocked no season pass needed. The only problem is that it won't keep you playing, other than a few basic weapon skins, you won't get any rewards by simply playing the game and spending the briefcases on legendary cosmetics and weapons... You will have to buy everything with call of duty points which i wll not give money for. Sure there are weapon blueprints that you can unlock every second prestige, but they make no sense to me, when you can customize the weapons anyways... Zombies is boring this time, unlike it was in black ops 4. There were exciting maps and could be prestige mastered easily by solo playing it with bots, but this time it's confusing, and too hard alone... Also there is a glitch that always shows you lvl1 when you start up the game, and you will have to complete a multiplayer match to see what level you really are, and they won't fix it for months now...… Expand

Дуже помітно що виникло багато чудових ідей, які реально можуть освіжити перегрітий тир, але всі вони померли десь серед сотень кранчів розробників і в гру лишились відверто сирими.… Expand

    Ну, начну с графона, и он на PS5 бесподобен! Но игра и весит под 200 GB.
    Играть приятно. Шутерная часть наконец то вернулась к Modern Warfarовской, вообще игры очень похожи. В игре всё на месте, миссии разнообразные. Есть на воздухе, есть в помещениях, есть стелсовые, даже есть одна вообще без оружия.
    Да, появилась видимость нелинейности. Можно выбирать миссии в любом порядке, их можно перепроходить, а некоторые и пропускать. Опять таки не знаю, если бы я в конце выбрал другой вариант ответа, финал изменился бы?
    Ещё появились диалоги, можно поболтать, а можно и забить на это дело.
    По началу, конечно, начал огорчать сюжет. Но потом я вспомнил, что это же Black Ops! А все Black Opsы отличались такой дикостью сюжета происходящего в какой то параллельной вселенной, что даже стало смешно!
    Короче история настолько тупая и неправдоподобная, что даже становится интересной. Абсолютно ничего того, что происходит в игре, в реальной жизни не было. Иногда даже наоборот, американцы свои реальные преступления, в сюжете приписали русским. Клоуны блин! И вообще всё это мне напомнило такие фильмы как Рэмбо 2, 3, 4, настолько тупые, что даже смешно!
    Да, взрослому человеку это не помешает, а вот детям в сюжет играть я бы не посоветовал. Ведь они воспринимают всё, что происходит на экране за правду, а это опасно.
    И так резюмирую. Имеем невероятно красивую, невероятно современную и невероятно тупую игру.

    Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War had an engaging storyline set during the Cold War era. However, the campaign lacked the expected action, making it feel more focused on multiplayer. While the multiplayer component was enjoyable, the campaign left me wanting more in terms of intense gameplay.

    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

    I love the campaign, it's a fun and refreshing experience. There are some really crazy moments and a few plot twists; Multiplayer is eh; Maps are bad, either too small, bad design or too big.

    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!

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

    The campaign is fantastic, cinematic, and simply thrilling. Old, iconic characters and several new ones make things perfect. The multiplayer should've been better. SBMM ruined it for me, but it was still pretty fun on some really cool maps: Crossroads Strike, Garrison, Apocalypse, Moscow, and the remakes of the old iconic BO maps.

    Zombies started really well with Die Maschine, Firebase Z, Outbreak, Mauer der Toten, and Forsaken.
    The ending of Forsaken is one of the best-executed cutscenes ever made.

    We have 4 modes that are all very relevant and fun to play. Let me detail.

    First, there is the Campaign, and I was very much surprised to see the devs actually worked on a simple yet cool good old Cold War story involving CIA (obviously). Missions take place in various beautiful environments and I thus was surprised with the final quality. Sure, the story is cliché. But that’s good enough to put you in a CW mood. It is clearly not revolutionizing the genre, but CW is good at doing what we already know fitted in a new –relatively cool – story.

    Then, you have Multiplayer, and in extension, Ranked Play. Overall, the multiplayer mode of BOCW is solid and relatively balanced (if you don’t take into account the post-release added guns). The maps, despite many being recycled, are not too bad either. I was of course delighted to see that a Ranked Mode was added. A shame it is that the actual ranking system is uninteresting. It works on a division-based system that refreshes every few days. Because of that, you don’t really have anything to grind, as opposed to what we have already seen in games such as Call of Duty World War 2, whose Ranked system was way more attractive to the player.

    As for the Zombies mode, it is simply put very detailed and plays extremely well. I am delighted to see some maps were added freely into the game with post-release updates, and the Onslaught mode – in which the player gets to fulfill objectives on large open maps –also allows for long and intense games that even require their fair share of teamwork.

    All of above is of course positive thanks to the core gameplay of Black Ops Cold War that I find to be very enjoyable. Weapons handling works great and feels realistic enough. The sounds, despite not being on par with the excellent Modern Warfare, are nice enough to make you really enjoy hearing weapons firing, and more generally speaking using them. This all sounds silly, but it is not the case for every FPS (or even Call of Duty). I like to handle my gun in this game, and it is for example not the case in Call of Duty Vanguard (both Alpha and Beta).

    In conclusion, I am very happy to have waited to buy my PS5 to then buy this game. It makes a really nice FPS introduction to the PS5 with its 120fps 4K, and actually delivers quite great at everything, without revolutionizing anything either. I recommend this game and hope that the next Call of Duty Vanguard can at least be 80% as good.    … Expand

    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

    I think it's a good game, a campaign from my point of view very interesting, with good bases, good dubbing into other languages, good characters and good scenarios.

The multiplayer is good, it has a lot of potential that is slowed down a bit by the SBMM but still it is a positive and fun experience from my point of view since it is updated free content frequently as they are, weapon designs, watches, gestures and so on, a problem is that this title suffers from problems of connection with the server and also a graphical decay compared to Modern Warfare and also problems with the physics since there are many that are not realistic. Then there are the zomies that are very entertaining and complete, have very good camouflages and maps with new dynamics that add fun… Expand

The campaign for this entry in the series is a solid campaign with some surprises, however, the multiplayer doesn't cut it.

    Multiplayer is very slow, uninteresting maps besides Nuketown '84, Raid, and Hijacked. Multiplayer feels like a step back from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019. In terms of season content, the latest season is starting to make this game become what it should've been from the start, but something that bothers me so much was the Cold War integration with Warzone and Modern Warfare 2019, it was very unnecessary. Cold War pretty much ruined Modern Warfare and Warzone. Warzone was fun before Cold War even released.

    Zombies is obviously the same sort of deal: Grab weapons, kill zombies, complete Easter eggs and survive for as long as you can, however, I actually really enjoy playing Cold War Zombies. I personally enjoy playing the new mode named Outbreak, however, the other zombie modes are good to an extent, but it gets very repetitive, obviously.

    I'm not even gonna touch League Play.

    Overall, this is a solid title as of 18/06/2021, however, when it launched, it was very stale. Cold War is fun for a certain amount of time, but I find myself going back to Modern Warfare 2019 and even older titles and play for hours and hours. The only fun thing about Cold War is the campaign and Zombies in my personal opinion.    … Expand

    In this part, everything worked out for me. Nice ttk, great maps and just disgusting little content at the start. An objective assessment should be no more than 7 points, but against the background of the disgusting COD MW 2019, this game turned out to be a delight.

    Painfully average, a great campaign and a fairly interesting zombies mode are not enough to distract you from how terrible the multiplayer is. The multiplayer forces you onto boring maps and either fills your game with terrible players or the best of the bunch, it's borderline impossible to sit down and casually enjoy Cold War, and for an arcade shooter like Call of Duty, that's a major problem.

    So I decided to wait a bit to play this game because of how bad I heard it was at launch and honestly as far as I can tell, all of the complaints from about 6 months ago are all still here. The game just runs so much worse than a 60 dollar game should. Textures will struggle to load, the sky turns black and flashes blue, reticles dont even load in on my sights half the time, and don't getSo I decided to wait a bit to play this game because of how bad I heard it was at launch and honestly as far as I can tell, all of the complaints from about 6 months ago are all still here.

Textures will struggle to load, the sky turns black and flashes blue, reticles dont even load in on my sights half the time, and don't get me started with the stutter. In my opinion its not even worth playing the multiplayer or the campaign, but zombies is actually not half bad. The only issue with zombies though is that they only added 1 map since launch. 1 map. But if you want to play a game that is already dead and not supported by its developers, this is the one for you!… Expand

Just saying it's not good ..... having to pay attention to some terrible things! Could be guns like MOD really it's not a man! And there could be something inside Aimbotting so Suri all everything not man! And it's not as fresh as clean I've already asked for service after not answering and underestimate when looking then nothing !!!! How much can you say? Everyone sees that you are not serious about a person who is not special about a new game and a second thing really really terrible about the internet !!! I did not understand what reason on the Internet in Lost connections ?! I had an excellent internet and technicians did not notice anything! Already a few million on a problem!

    Where do I even begin. Let's start with why even release this game the mess that it is. Modern Warfare is so much better do not waste your money on this game. It's a buggy mess that has more glitches than a Bethesda game. On top of that there are so many little exploitable things everyone uses so you die as you spawn sometimes. It's camper paradise and it's awful. Don't buy it!

    This game is absolutely trashed. Gun balancing just isn’t worth the devs time and I end up leaving most games before they are finished because they are boring filled with campers. Feels like we went back a generation after the success of modern warfare just sad

    Best Multiplayer! Stop hating people. When I first plunged into this game, for me this herd is the best part of the series in terms of multiplayer and I am very sad that many people hate this game without reason. You may not like publisher marketing, but that's not a reason to hate the game.

    Bought modern warfare and this one at the same time. Finished modern warfare first and then started this one. This one is ok, but the mechanics are not as fun, the campaign is pretty bland so far. Feels less real, and more arcadey, in modern warfare I really felt I was there clearing room by room. I'm just not feeling this one

    I will start of by saying this: I only play this game for the online multiplayer, meaning I have no experience with the campaign.

    This is my first Call Of Duty game I’ve spent lots time playing and I need to say: I am not disappointed. I played a couple matches on Modern Warfare but I was always left feeling really disappointed, mainly with the bland maps and layouts. With Cold War, I find myself enjoying the maps thoroughly, with even the worst maps still being enjoyable. Maps such as The Pines and the updated Miami (Miami Strike) are welcome additions. Killing someone in one area of The Pines then running through the hallways to shoot another is exciting. Miami Strike is an improved Miami, in a smaller space that enables fighting. I have to say that the map that didn’t land for me at all was Satellite, and even then I still find enjoyment while playing on it. We see the return of incredible maps as well such as Nuketown (in the form of Nuketown ‘84) which makes me more interested in playing previous instalments. There are many incredible game modes to play on these maps as well, including a personal favourite: Search And Destroy. Every game feels new and exciting, while allowing me to consistently improve. The main reason I didn’t give this game a 10/10 however, is the fact that the game often freezes and lags, even when my internet connection is perfect. It does often get in the way of fully enjoying the game to it’s potential. This game was an excellent introduction into the world of Call Of Duty for me, making me excited for future games in the franchise.    … 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.
