Sep 10, 2023This game was pretty good, I enjoyed everything from this game, I loved playing through campaign, I enjoyed multiplayer, and I loved zombies, definitely the most underrated zombies title we've ever had to date
-
May 29, 2023i feel the same way about this game as some older COD fans feel about Black Ops 2. in my opinion it was great. there were always frustrating moments, and multiplayer lag is almost unbearable at times, but overall i had a enjoyable experience. literally the first COD game i have ever pre-ordered. and i still believe it's better than Vanguard and MWII.

Jan 22, 2023Best CoD Campaign they ever made, but it was way too short. Multiplayer is like Black Ops 4, Zombies is decent.

Nov 14, 2022Went through the company in 5 hours. One time will be fine. But the game is expensive, I did not play online.
-
Nov 4, 2022Firstly, 136GB on both the new Xbox Series Consoles and 133 on PS5 is quite large for a single game, which is just over 25% of a 500GB hard drive, graphics wise is quite underwhelming at least compared to modern warfare, and only a handful of weapons are viable, hopefully some tweaks can be made to balance the guns and make it more playable

Oct 3, 2022I didn't think this game would be that bad.
I can't play one game because they do technical work! The plot in the game is not bad, but I'm waiting to play single player, **** you. -

Aug 27, 2022Great Campaign, but too short. Great zombies, but not a lot of replayability. Horrendous multiplayer...
-
Jul 27, 2022Cold war has a great multiplayer great zombies and a amazing campaign. It was a pleasant surprise
-
Jul 26, 2022Ce Black Ops Cold War est le meilleur COD sorti depuis Modern Warfare 2019.
La campagne est excellente le zombies est de de très bonne facture et le multijoueur a un matchmaking bien équilibré. Le choix des scorestreaks pour le multi est excellent car il favorise ceux qui jouent les objectifs. -

Mar 21, 2022Best trearch game matching black ops 1. Best zombies since black ops 1. Love the entire game and then outbreak come out! Revived my love for zombies.

Mar 6, 2022Campaign is fun, the zombies are the best thing since BO3 and has no bad maps. The multiplayer is a hit or miss, you can have a lot of fun with a good team if the SBM isn't screwing you over.
-
Feb 25, 2022At launch, the game was really bad, with bad balancing, mediocre matchmaking, etc.
But now one year later the game is solid. Especially when considering the newest CoD.
The gameplay is satisfying, graphics and sounds are a lot better than in Vanguard. And overall you can have some fun. -
Feb 23, 2022i really loved the zombies mode, i really hope they continue the story, but the story mode and multiplayer gets boring in time

Jan 19, 2022Call 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.
-
Jan 7, 2022This game has a solid story and zombies, but the multiplayer is kind of a mess. The bugs from the launch still haunt me to this day.

Nov 8, 2021As a frequent CoD critic, I found this entry in the Black Ops subseries highly intriguing. The campaign includes my favorite POTUS (Reagan), and on top of that, delivers a strong story. Spending hours on multiplayer, specifically outbreak in zombies, crafted many great evenings with friends, especially during COVID-19 in early 2021. I recommend.
-
Nov 2, 2021I love this game. Despite what everyone says, I love it. The zombies is good, especially Die Machine. The multiplayer is where I actually got decent at CoD. And the campaign is really good as well.
-
Oct 28, 2021Fairly mediocre compared to MW (2019), unless you like getting kicked in the nuts.
-
Oct 11, 2021Might 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

Oct 2, 2021Cold War es un gran juego. Una campaña muy pasable, un modo Zombis super genial, de los mejores. Donde falla CW es en su apartado mas importante, multijugador. Bastante gente en esquina, debido al SBMM (Skill Base Match Making) que es demasiado agresivo.
-
Sep 20, 2021Waste of money, very **** game. Multiplayer ridiculous difficulty with their high level of sbmm. Not fun anymore, the older COD games were fun whereas this game is stressful and a waste of time.
-
Sep 16, 2021Multiplayer 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.

Aug 12, 2021Disgusting. 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
-
Aug 4, 2021This same as other cod games there barely anything new. Story is fine but multiplayer is the same.
-
Jul 27, 2021Los tres puntos que le doy son por la campaña y los zombies. 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.
-
Jul 24, 2021The 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

Jul 4, 2021the game was very good on storymode and character's was very good and online
-
Jun 28, 2021Man I hate this game. Such an incredible downgrade from the previous game - I actually got this game before I ever played modern warfare and despite coming out 2 years later on the series X it’s absolutely awful in comparison
-
Jun 26, 2021After the success of the Modern Warfare reboot, Treyarch took COD back on the roue of mediocrity. The campaign is interesting, but the multiplayer and zombies are very lackluster here. At least Warzone is still a thing.

Jun 7, 2021Complete 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!

May 22, 2021Awesome single player experience! I never play COD online multiplayer or zombie variants, what I love is to experience a good COD campaign and this one is amazing. Not perfect thats why Im giving it a 9 :) I hated that forces you to install warzone the same way that the last MW does.
-
May 21, 2021This games graphics suck, the lobby's are ALWAYS broken, it's neat impossible to play with 3+ people, all the maps suck (the only good maps they have are from past cod games, which by the way they just made them loom worse) their game modes suck (when they finally make a good one they just take it away) they have no gun fight maps, and this makes me never want to buy another cod again.

Apr 14, 2021This game was the most buggiest and constant frame drops randomly audio bugs and game crashing
Would not suggest buying this game in 2021 for pc.
Do not buy this trash game in 2021. -
Apr 12, 2021Without doubt the worst call of duty in the franchise! SBMM is killing call of duty, huge step back from modern warfare.
-
Apr 10, 2021
-
Apr 10, 2021In my opinion, the worst part of Call of duty. Developers don't know what game optimization is. Online is just 0. It's just a propaganda game
-
Apr 10, 2021The game is really cool! There are many missions you can remember. How missions in the KGB, Yamantau and mission in Amsterdam. Weapons are great too. I don't know, why many people hate this game.
-
Mar 30, 2021Full of camper. Too op weapons. Worst game ever. Bad and ugly maps. Don't buy this it's not worth it.

Mar 27, 2021Absolute ****
Poorly optimized **** servers game has 0 flow Extremely Heavy SBMM
Cold war is a complete vibe killer NOT EVEN WORTH A TRY
Zombies is easy plain maps super boring way 2 open
Multiplayer maps allow people to camp everywhere also the hit detection is worse then most older cods
Lots of trashy Micro transactions that don't offer any real value -
Mar 25, 2021BEST Call of Duty in year. Oh my my god, why is it so underrated. It's so well made game. Thank you EA.

Mar 25, 2021Just cause Playstation 4 / 5 version are bad (because weak loser console), doesn't mean you have to troll PC / Xbox Series X versions that run on ultimately superior hardware.
-
Mar 25, 2021It's very true that this game is bad on playstation consoles, because playstation is just weak pathetic console, so no wonder. But this game is solid on masterrace gaming systems like PC and Xbox Series X. Would recommend!
-
Mar 25, 2021About million times better game than Battlefield V and it doesn't have any sjw agenda like Battlefield V does. Fun game.
-
Mar 25, 2021Thank you EA for this wonderful game and game series! I never cared about cod multiplayer, because there's so many of them already. I play only singleplayer and singleplayer is only reason i care about cod and that was great!
-
Mar 25, 2021One of the best Call of Duty games in long time. It had kind of bad launch, but it's way better now. Can't wait for COD 2021, hopefully WW 2 !!!

-
Mar 20, 2021Using players as hosts when playing zombies... And don't know who the retard was that decided this. But I'm not enjoying the game because of this.

Mar 5, 20214.5 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.

Mar 4, 2021Terrible terrible game. Graphics, weapon designs, characters, the whole movement, ads feels bad, sniping in this game is the worst ever, camo challenges like sHOot EneMIeS beHiND CoVer
-
Mar 3, 2021The multiplayer is ruined by snipers with aim assist. Before you see them you are dead. Not to mention how bad the game feels and runs as a whole. DO NOT BUY.

Mar 1, 2021Needs more maps, but otherwise fun. I like it better than MW. Eliminations, healthbars are more fun for me.
Rating it a 6 because of bugs that crash the game. Disabling Ray Tracing helps, but does not eliminate issues. Will rate higher if fixed. (Update: Bugs fixed, still enjoying the game.) -
Feb 28, 2021Thanks god i have not buy this game. I was wait to get free weekend and try it. It is really one of the worst call of duty games. Multiplayer is so bad! Downgraded COD MW. DONT BUY IT U WILL WASTE UR MONEY!

Feb 22, 2021Fun game that was bugged at launch but now has more modes, content, and the game runs great.

Feb 11, 2021The 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.
-
Dec 1, 2020Overall, 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.
-
Nov 30, 2020With 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".
