Call of duty black ops cold war review

Score distribution:

  1. Negative: 0 out of 35

  1. Probably the best Call of Duty game of the last decade. With a superb campaign, a great Zombies mode and a -mostly- balanced and rich multiplayer mode Cold War is a game no fan of the franchise should miss out.

  2. It's worth buying additional storage for Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War. Modern Warfare's campaign still lingers in my memories thanks to the sensational NV missions, but I'm sure Cold War has produced more memorable scenes. Multiplayer in the new CoD is good, but it's the campaign where it's at in this entry. As far as MP is concerned, I'll stick to the last one.

  3. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War lends itself as a bombastic, yet short-lived game. We can only hope that this project will be well-received by Activision higher-ups, and that Raven Software will finally make name for themselves.

  4. Fans of the franchise and many gamers of a certain age, especially those who have a next-gen console in the hopper, will still find enough to like in Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War. I personally still replay the mission with the arcade shootout just to get a little '80s cheeseball energy going, but I think the strategy of overwhelming people with as much content and as many shooter modes as possible might be starting to wear thin. We're not there quite yet, but I'm hoping the next Black Ops might have just a bit more than poking at my childhood memories of a culturally iconic president.

  5. While Cold War is a part of a series I would have said that I loved, I can’t fully embrace it now knowing that this work is trucking in harmful stereotypes via patriotic-tinged gameplay. A decent CoD multiplayer experience will likely emerge from the currently-underwhelming Cold War, but I’m going to seriously consider whether that gameplay is worth enduring (and supporting) the rest.

  1. Unlike Modern Warfare, this game is NOT for scrubs. It isn't a campfest that allows you to camp in windows or high platform vantage pointsUnlike Modern Warfare, this game is NOT for scrubs. It isn't a campfest that allows you to camp in windows or high platform vantage points everywhere for free kills and that's why it's getting such low scores. This is what Call of Duty USED to be 10 years ago, and it's finally back. Expand

  2. This game is not bad. Finnaly COD have good story and not bad gameplay. Good work Treyarch

I'm pretty sure Zombies is fun and the Campaign has it's own niche crowd. Nothing has really changed much tbh. BO feels faster I guess I could say and there is fun to be had in multiplayer online, but after a while it just becomes monotonous. Also it feels sluggish after a match and its pretty noticeable. I'd say wait for a sale. Expand

The graphics Is awful, i cannot distinguish an enemy from the background. I reset my TV, my PlayStation only to hope that the graphics of the beta was not in the finished version. I was wrong. Do not buy this game. Is unplayable. Seems to go around without glasses and with miopia. You can see an enemy only when It runs in front of you (with an incredibile unnatural moves and Speed)For 75€ i got only an headache and a sense of depression for being swindled.

Is Black Ops Cold War single player good?

Verdict. The single-player campaign of Call Of Duty Black Ops Cold War is a modernized return to form and serves as a treat to the fans who used to care about the game's single-player mode prior to the Advanced Warfare era.

Which is better Cold War or Vanguard?

While Vanguard went for familiarity, Cold War tried something different. It had expansive battles and faster gunplay. It doesn't hit the mark every time. There are some clear misses here – the faster multiplayer in particular proved controversial with some fans still enamoured with Modern Warfare.

Should I buy Black Ops 2021 Cold War?

Black Ops Cold War's Zombies mode is certainly worth it in 2021! Zombies has been the highlight of Black Ops Cold War since launch. It suffered some technical issues, and had a painfully difficulty-balance at launch, but has been ironed out and fine-tuned to make it the absolute highlight of BOCW.
