    Game was unfinished and with a pandemic it is understandable it was buggy, but i found joy in the campaign and zombies mode. Problems arise as you look at map selection there are less maps then some of the older installments in the black ops series. Majority of those maps underperform and fall into having to much open space and no three lane maps.

With a story that keeps you interested. Now we get to the meat of the game, the multiplayer! First things first for the first month it felt bare and boring but with the beginning of season 1 it finally feels like a “full game”. However it does lack a lot of map variety and the sbmm has many flaws. The zombies is the best overall part of this game but with only one map it falls short.… Expand

    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.

Then we got the overpowered guns that just came out in Cold War and modern warfare then they nerf the guns that came out on launch so that you would either have to buy the battle pass or some other **** just to have a decent gun. Then the game crashes, shuts down your console and everything else THIS GAME IS BROKEN. The game modes are **** horrific like dirty bomb is the worst **** I’ve ever seen not fun at all. And only play gunfight if you want the other kid on your team to immediately quit or not play and have to play the whole game yourself and if you do find a good person to play with on that mode say see ya before the game ends cuz not like you can play another game with them because it throws everyone out of the lobby. Sure go ahead waste $60 or $70 if you want the Xbox one and the series x game which is bs cuz you can play the 60$ on your series x and one so why even have that option. So yea buy the game if you want to be killed by random grenades and people camping not just one or two whole **** teams camp have fun wasting your time and money on the ****tiest game ever oh and don’t buy it for the campaign that’s **** too.

    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.

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

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

    Firstly, 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

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

    With this year's installment of the Call of Duty franchise came some highs and lows, in regards to every part of this game.

    Campaign

    The campaign, albeit great and possibly one of the best CoD stories to date since BO2, falls short in a few areas. The difficulty of the campaign overall is a little too easy. I completed the campaign on realistic on my first run, compared to 2019's Modern Warfare, which took me about 2 playthroughs of veteran and hardened to learn the levels. With BOCW, I just went straight into realism and didn't need as much trial and error, sometimes only dying once on a level. The level design is great, but the enemy AI is lackluster in working with these areas, making it easier for me to get past the level.
    Overall the story was too short, lasting only 9 missions, with two optional side missions. This, sadly, brought down the experience. Overall, 8/10 Campaign

    Multiplayer
    With better maps out on release compared to MW2019, the only thing holding the multiplayer back was a lack of character. The gunplay felt like a near carbon copy, save for mounting which luckily did not make a return. I was surprised to see the guns weren't as customizable as MW2019, with rarely any unique attachments for specific guns. The map flow was great, with it coming back to a 3 lane design, and good flank routes for each map, making overtaking an area during a match doable. Overall 8/10 MP experience

    Zombies
    This year's zombie experience hit it out of the park in my opinion. With the new crafting system and killstreaks, I was doubtful at first, but going into zombies, it quickly became one of my favorite modes. Although with only one map at launch, it gave good replayability in testing out the weapons and best areas for training. The Easter egg was amazing, albeit a little easier compared to other years' zombies Easter eggs. The new way of upgrading your perks, weapons, and other equipment with aetherium crystals gained at level milestones, adds another way to make the zombie mode more replayable. Overall 9/10 for zombies    … Expand

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.

    Bon, soyons clair, pour les joueurs solos, ceux qui l’ont acheté plein pot (surtout la version next gen qui coûte 10 euros de plus pour avoir une meilleure résolution et le ray tracing), se sont fait escroquer…

    Ce que j’ai apprécié:

    fin multiples en fonction de quelques choix dans le jeu et décisions de dialogues. Ca c’est une bonne surprise
    des missions qui sortent du call of standard (infiltration avec objectifs à atteindre par plusieurs moyens)
    le niveau du QG du KGB est plutôt beau, seul niveau à utiliser le ray tracing à fond d’ailleurs (et le niveau le plus marrant)
    spatialisation du son très bonne. Ca pète de tous les côtés, sympa.
    des missions annexes débloquables uniquement si on trouve des indices dans les missions principales et si on résout des énigmes intéressantes
    de vieux jeux d’arcade d’activision cachés dans le jeu

    ce que je n’ai pas aimé:

    ultra court, surtout si on se contente des missions principales (il doit y en avoir 4-5 à tout cassé)
    les persos principaux sont plutôt pas trop mal fait, par contre tous les PNJ et autres joueurs sont d’une autre époque.
    l’IA totalement loupé
    la mise en scène à la rue et sans âme
    Des niveaux allant du « joli » au franchement très médiocres
    vu et archi revu dans ces niveaux principaux. On n’est jamais surpris et on ne s’amuse pas vraiment.

    En faite le jeu apporte quelques nouveautés sympa avec ces choix multiples, ces énigmes à résoudre pour les missions annexes, mais c’est totalement sous exploité. C’est vraiment dommage parce que ça aurait donné de la consistance au jeu. Tout le reste est vu, archi vu, pas intéressant du tout et techniquement très moyen.

    Après, ça reste un jeu qui se savoure très certainement en multi donc le solo n’est qu’une excuse, mais bon…    … Expand

That's now destroyed. You can't relax and just play a chilled game. Then you will get destroyed, by the other players. A shame a fundamentally good game is broken by bad decisions. And stop the annoying commercials that pops up every time you start the game. If i want to by Vanguard I'll do it. Annoying that you have to skip the commercials every time you start the game. Activision **** of.… Expand

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

    At 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.

    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

    Campaign 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.

    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".
