    Based on multiplayer and Zombies mode, I must say, that the game is unplayable. It is full f bugs, I loose connection several times a day. In Zombie mode I have not reached a higher level than seven before the game crashed or lost server connection. I play since 2007 but this is the worst version ever. Playing should be fun... This is not funny at all. But as long as "Bug-i-vision" makes money wit COD points selling nothing will change, I think. Maybe this is the reason, why there are no patches or server changings for a longer time now. MONEY ROLLS!
    Addendum: I don’t trust one of these positive reviews here.    … Expand

    Call of Duty is a dead game. Its all skill based hit detection and other stat manipulation to make it the worst fps game of all time. I been playing cod games online since cod 3 waaaay back when. I play daily with a 2.18 ration ranked in the 40,000 global ranks I know what I'm talking about. Sbmm and other tactics have ruined this franchise for me for life. I'll never buy another one.

    Multiplayer team deathmatch takes forever, and since it makes not really fun, its a pain to finish a match. Aim assist is too invasive. Movement and animations are not fluid. Respawn locations are not balanced/scattered enough. Cant read white text on white helmet background in multiplayer loadout. Singleplayer campaign was good, but multiplayer is bad compared to MW.

Extremely short campaign that almost feels like an afterthought, though it isn't the worst they've ever put out. Multiplayer is just utterly ruined thanks to the special variants of weapons, way too many people sweating in MP, battle pass completely destroying natural progression if you just shell out some cash, bugs, maps are extremely hit or miss, TTK is still disgustingly low. It's better than MW2019, but only barely, both are still really low on the COD totem pole.

    Zombies was admittedly a ton of fun for me, I enjoyed it quite a bit. The new mechanics felt great for bringing on new players, old perk system returned with a few tweaks that finally found an effective way to deal with crutch perk issues, and the Die Maschine and Firebase Z maps were a ton of fun! Shame that Treyarch has decided to ruin it by focusing on Outbreak rather than Dark Aether's main storyline and maps, the characters have no personality since they're all MP Operators, and Treyarch seems focused on playing to our nostalgia for previous games rather than creating something new (can we get some more new perks like Elemental Pop, please? Instead of old perks reworked or combined?). While it's not entirely without merit, Cold War is a perfect encapsulation of how the Call of Duty series has fallen from its once lofty heights.

El multijugador es una basura, spawns de mierd*, los snipers son solo para clavar mira y campear al igual que las ligeras y lo mas importante es que el SBMM cagó la poca experiencia de juego buena que te puede brindar este pedazo de mierda.

The graphics were very crisp and clean, and the feeling of it felt good. The campaign itself, in my opinion, is rather short and they could have done more missions in Vietnam rather than some rather boring missions running around. The campaign also feels "recycled" from the original Black Ops sense in that someone is captured, brainwashed, and then used to help find a villain. The zombies mode within the game I have found to be a boatload of fun, it is a challenging and rewarding experience, especially with friends. Although, I think like myself, a lot of people bought this game for the multiplayer. The multiplayer is quite poor in my opinion. the absence of skill-based matchmaking makes it very unenjoyable due to the fact that one game you'll murder a team of much lower skilled players but then for the next ten games, you'll be the one getting murdered by much higher skilled players. The mechanics of it are average from what players have seen in past games but the biggest complaint I have with multiplayer is that it feels half finished. This is very evident and clear when you boot up last years Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The lack of maps definitely hurts my rating for this game. Overall, this game is not drop dead horrible, but it is not something either I rush home to load up and play.… Expand

Game was unplayable for the first week, which was a sign for things to come. Balance patches are a rare sight, and when they do come, they hardly change anything noteworthy. Multiplayer is among the most unbalanced in the series, with 2-3 guns being viable in most multiplayer maps. With the majority of maps being overly large, sprawling areas with large amounts of dead space (half of the map "Miami" is a beach which is almost entirely unused in gameplay), most people only play on the Nuketown 24/7 playlist. Campaign is good, being the first Black Ops campaign since 2012 to not be a convoluted spin off that barely has any attachment to the franchise. Zombies is excellent, although there are frequent glitches that cause anything from random disconnections, to not being able to que into a game, to having the game completely freeze and require task manager to close. Treyarch's content dripfeed has been severely underwhelming, with only one or two notable things added so far. The battle passes have both been full of filler, with most variants added being simple camouflages that wouldn't look out of place as a gray-tier item in Counter Strike. Overall, Treyarch shows that they have lost their touch with making Call of Duty. Cold War shouldn't have even come out in the first place, considering the pandemic affecting development. Activision should have not released a new game in 2020 and instead, allowed Treyarch to improve their game, instead of delivering a not even half baked and extremely disappointing experience. Don't buy this game if you want to play for the multiplayer, just get Modern Warfare. You should only consider this game for the zombies mode and if it's on sale.… Expand

It was incredible, the graphics were stunning, the story actually made my jaw drop at the end, and the Vietnam and KGB missions were a complete blast. (2) the Zombies is actually fun. I hated BO3/BO4 zombies because they got too ambitious. This zombies is very different, but it is in good ways. The changes make it feel like a revised BO2/BO1 zombies, and that's what everyone wants. The story and characters need work though, because at the moment, I am left missing the old school characters and the sarcastic voice lines. (3) Fireteam Dirty Bomb is the most fun new game mode I have played in several years. it's like a combination of Battlefield Conquest, Search and Destroy, and Battle Royale. It's utter chaos, and both maps are excellent. I find myself having fun even when I get last place. I hope more people start playing it because outside of needing some respawn balance, it's a complete blast.

    Now the bad (and the reasons this game is currently rated a 2.9)

    Holy motherf***ing s*** this game has the absolute worst gun balance and lag I have ever experienced in ANY game. EVER. You can avoid most of the horrible gun balance by playing hardcore, but in core, Assault Rifles can range anywhere from 4 headshots to kill to 12 body shots to kill. Yes I typed that correctly: 12 HITS. SMG's are the most balanced guns overall in my opinion, but with a combination of lag and aim assist that is too strong (which I'll get to), they melt you before you can even ADS. Then to top it off, you have the Tactical Rifles (Burst weapons and DMR) that kill you in one 3 round burst. So you can probably guess that almost every person in the game is using them. I can't understand how a Franchise that has been doing the same thing for so many years can still royally f*** up on something as simple as gun balance. I know it will get fixed, but geeeeez. The guns in Dirty Bomb feel a bit more balanced, since you have Armor and it takes a few burst shots to kill at range, but yeah guns need major work.

    The aim assist. Ok now I am a PC player, and I understand that we PC players can get ridiculously sweaty, but I was an Xbox player just a few years ago. I have watched videos breaking down the aim assist and how it will continue to drag your aim in the direction of the player, even if you are pulling the stick the opposite direction. Aim Assist is entirely necessary for joysticks in a shooter, because you don't have nearly as much range of control/motion as you would with a mouse (hence why PC has no aim assist), but it is ridiculous in this game (and in MW). It is to the point that aim assist literally deletes most of the recoil for most guns and console players are getting headshots almost on accident, while PC players have to actually compensate for recoil. Sure it's nice for bad players, but when a console player is actually good, it is almost impossible to kill them unless you catch them by surprise, because aim assist takes care of a good 80% of their recoil. It's extremely frustrating. I have connected an Xbox controller to my PC and tried it out, and I was able to lead the lobby... mind you I haven't played COD on a controller since Black Ops 3. There is also a version of aim assist called "Focused" where if you are missing your target, it will literally pull your reticle to the target for you. It isn't aim assist anymore, it is soft aimbot.

    Last, the graphics in multiplayer are so bad. I don't understand why honestly... Dirty Bomb and the Campaign both look amazing, then you have maps like Cartel where the bushes look like they're made out of paper mache. If I had to guess, I would say that Treyarch spent most of their time on Fireteam, Campaign, and Zombies (all three of which are quite fantastic) and then they had to rush the multiplayer when they were told their game would be pushed up a whole year.

    Overall, for having an entire year chopped off of their development time, this game is really impressive. I actually like it better than Modern Warfare. I've heard a lot of people complain that it's clunky, and I must assume that these people have never played BO1. It really does feel like the OG Black Ops, and the new mode and Campaign are two of the best things I've played in quite some time. I recommend buying the game and playing only Hardcore Multiplayer and Fireteam: Dirty Bomb if you like to be competitive. I cannot however rate it above a 6 because the gun balance is completely embarrassing.

    If they fix the gun balance, improve multiplayer graphics, and lessen aim assist, I really would rate a 10.

    UPDATE: Season 1 laggy as f***, not even playable now.

    UPDATE 2: Tried it again on 3/24 and the lag is even worse now. The game is a lost cause, save your money.    … Expand

    4.5 rubles, for constant bugs, crashes from the game EVERY session, inability to connect to the lobby. Also, without installing shaders, which lasts about 20 minutes, you will not be able to play from the word at all. And often it freezes, and you have to restart. The game's campaign is good, with a well-developed plot, great style, but few hours, which upsets me.

I've played call of duty since it fist started off and I've finally reached the point where I won't put any more of my money in, this game should be a free to play game with an optional $20 to $30 pricetag for the campaign. I don't want to pay full price for a game only to be bombarded by pop-ups for cosmetics and a season pass, I'll go play fortnite or apex for that where I don't have to pay any extra money unless I want to. It's time for call of duty to drift away into the sunset, I only wish Activision would have let it drift peacefully instead of strangling it dry for every last drop of cash it had left. This game is 100% deserving of this zero and is at the bottom of my all time game list, and sadly not even the zombies can save this one.… Expand

    Genuinely one of the worst quality games Activision has ever put out. for a triple-A game, this is terribly optimized and crashes consistently no matter how low you put your settings. And this is all before you have even started playing the game. The gun balance in this game very rarely comes even close to fair and is so bad that every ranked game you play now is filled with AK-74u's.Genuinely one of the worst quality games Activision has ever put out. for a triple-A game, this is terribly optimized and crashes consistently no matter how low you put your settings. And this is all before you have even started playing the game. The gun balance in this game very rarely comes even close to fair and is so bad that every ranked game you play now is filled with AK-74u's.

    The SBMM (skill based mathmaking) maybe one of the worst feautures added to this game with a system designed to take you on a rolercoaster of enjoyment ranging from experiences that make you question your purchase to brief moments of above-average enjoyment. If you used to enjoy older COD's that had lobbies filled with a wide variety of players, then you will be unpleasantly surprised to know that you will not find such an experience here.

    There is a large list of things I could cover when talking about the faults of Cold War but for the sake of time, I have listed the worst features. if the reviews for this game seem overwhelmingly negative that is no coincidence.

    Positives: well to be honest there actually positive parts to this game. The quality of the campaign is high and is enjoyable and is definitely a light of hope for this game. zombies is also a game mode that I believe although may not be appreciated by veteran players of the mode is still quite enjoyable and has brought a good range of features and experiences to the zombies game mode. Overall I would not recommend a purchase of this game if you have any intention of playing the multiplayer or if you do not have a beefy pc. the only point I have given this game is due to the campaign and zombies modes. this may be one of the worst quality call of duty's ever released. this game might as well still be in beta and yet the developers still push out anime skin packs and CDL operators skins like clockwork.    … Expand

The sbmm felt even stronger than modern warfare, I would struggle with terrible teammates, sweaty enemies, overpowered and unbalanced weapons, horrible maps that promote camping, the enemies are impossible to see, the movement feeling clunky, the score streaks are horrible and can not only be shot down with one clip but also are impossible to get because of how high the scores are to get. And all of this I saw within an hour of playing . Their developers have gone dark and never answer questions or interact with the community, the game took 50% of my storage on my Xbox, the battle pass is a rip off of modern warfare's style, in fact it's combined WITH it, so it's mooching off of another games success. Now as for zombies, the map is fun, enjoyable and is the only reason I have the game still installed, I don't wanna reinstall 250gigs every time I wanna play zombies. My only gripe is the glitches and the fact that there's only one map. One issue that I saw was the worst was it SHUT OFF MY XBOX, no game has ever done that and made me feel like I downloaded some malicious stuff into my Xbox before.To end off with, I'ma say I don't recommend this game to anyone, it feels incomplete, abandoned, and feels like a rip off.… Expand

    I solely created this account to rate this game 0/10 Worse then modern warfare in every department from weapon variety to the camos that barely exist to the gameplay and don’t even get me started on the bugs. Just don’t do the same mistake I and a lot of other people made and buy this pre alpha of a call of duty because it’s a complete waste of money.

    Absolute trash. I've never liked pvp in a cod game since black ops 2 and Mw3. The zombies mode is also an extreme disappointment lacking any kind of creativity or substance. The single zombies map and half assed Easter egg made me return the game before season 1 of the modern warfare continuation Happened. This "game" is not worth $60 and isn't worth my time.

    I made a account just to say how bad this game is. It feels years behind modern warfare, even years behind bo4 in terms of animation, graphics, and movement. Don’t buy it

    PC players clean house against console players.
    Constant corner jumping.
    Crashes constantly on the Xbox One X.
    Zombies and campaign only redeeming qualities, but gets repetitive fast.

    The game is not stable. Freezes during gameplay and throws to the dashboard. During 10 games, 5 are lost due to failure of the game. The most unstable and pissing off game I've played this year.

    The game is not playable, I do not recommend it, and the search system is very poor

    What a complete waste of time and money. The campaign took longer to download than it did to complete

    another broken game. I like using bots but that aspect of the game is broken. after each match you have to back out to main screen and go through the whole process of setting up again.

    Pc score for this game is unavailable for a reason.... I have a 5800x CPU and 3080 GPU. There is zero reason for there to be crashes this frequently on my end, thus it must be a TERRIBLY optimized game. Even a COD pros are crashing frequently. A triple A game should not have this issue.

    With a brilliant zombies and a ok campaign, the multiplayer fails this game very very much, with the skilled based matchmaking and the unbalanced guns which makes this game require no skill what so ever, is just a disaster from the get go.

    Terrible graphics and even worse physics. After MW2019 which was pretty good - this is like 10 years back!

    Don't buy this $h1t!

    The beating heart of the Call of Duty experience in terms of multiplayer feels like a solid return to the classic formula, but abundant technical issues make this a worrying stumble into a new generation.

    Overall, despite some performance issues, I rather enjoyed the mercenaries, spies and private eyes campaign that is Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. I’d like to see the development team get a chance to really flesh out a longer campaign in this style, but you know…the call of duty.

    With an entertaining campaign, great online opportunities and panic-stricken zombie slaughter, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is an impressive package. Still, we can not help but feel disappointed. The best parts of the campaign could have been developed much more and the online modes feel well stripped down. Cold War still impresses, but with more development time, it could have been so much more than "this year's Call of Duty game".
