    Disgusting. An absolute mess of a game. Buggy, unfinished, zero content, riddled with microtransactions, bad maps & gunplay, and pathetic zombies. It’s literally just a front to sell Warzone. This game is a stain on the FPS genre

    Complete garbage. I can't even connect to the servers to play it for a bloody review. The developers & publishers should be ashamed for releasing this abomination to the public. Speaking of which, why is it that any solutions to address the problem are found by their customers?! We're not getting paid to fix your broken game Activision!

    The worst game they ever made. Mechanics are slow and glitchy. Even finding the right settings is not enough. Do not buy Cold War. You are wasting your money. Cold War is trash. The movements are terrible. All in all a complete waste of time. GET RID OF IT

    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.

    Might easily be the worst game I've ever owned and played, poorly coded, badly made, and having access to millions of user feedback, they choose to ignore their audience and do what people doesn't like and what they want, it's just trash

    Eigentlich ein wirklich gutes Spiel mit guter Kampagne, Multiplayer und Zombies vor allem ist ein Key wirklich nicht so teuer.

    There's not much for me to say about this game, other than how absolutely garbage it is. Campaign is great, but it ends quickly. And let's be honest, we don't buy CODs for the campaign. After that, it honestly feels like an alpha version of a game. Incomplete. For the love of God, please don't buy this game. Terrible spawns, bad maps, glitchy servers. SBMM sucks the tiny amount of life inThere's not much for me to say about this game, other than how absolutely garbage it is. Campaign is great, but it ends quickly.

I spent money on this game and I can say that you shouldn't make the same mistake I made. Please.… Expand

    Imagine paying upwards of 69.99$ for a game to then find out that it has microtransactions! I might expect this from a free to play game but for a 70 dollar one!? Yes I know you don't necessarily have to spend money on the game but unless you want to play this **** for 7 hours+ per day then you are kinda forced to. Greedy developers, same repetitive game...

    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".
