This is one of the best games in the #CoD series. The game has a very intriguing story that weaves its way through the campaign mode. However like other CoD titles the online multiplayer and #Warzone modes is where this game sets itself apart. Players are kept engaged by competing for Battlepass rewards that unlock new playable characters, skins and unique weapons. A variety of side challenges also offer the chance to level up your XP and in turn unlock better weapons and skills. Weapons have the ability to be customized with everything from flash-suppressing muzzles, targeting lasers, handles, paint and much more. The game runs smoothly on the latest XBOX though it does require substantial hard drive space. The game overall is a beautiful and visceral experience ... MoreThis is one of the best games in the #CoD series. The game has a very intriguing story that weaves its way through the campaign mode.

A solid entry to the series, incredible campaign!

I have been a fan of the Call of Duty series for years now and have been through the best and worse games of the series. This game is definitely worth the buy especially at Walmart's price as it is 10 dollars cheaper than everywhere else. There are 3 main game modes in this game, Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies. I haven't played the new Zombies mode that much but I am expecting it to be just as great as it has been in previous entries in the series. I have played through the campaign three times now and the only complaint I have is that it is a little shorter than I would have liked and left me wanting just a little more before this chapter came to an end. That being said however, the campaign in my opinion is the highlight of this game and on multiple occasions ... MoreI have been a fan of the Call of Duty series for years now and have been through the best and worse games of the series.

That being said however, the campaign in my opinion is the highlight of this game and on multiple occasions left me on the edge of my seat. It felt fresh and different than previous games which says a lot about the developers as they are still able to produce a gripping and new story even after so many entries into this series. The multiplayer in this game though is a little disappointing. It's the same old thing as every game before it, adding little to no new gameplay features or elements. Multiplayer is also a little light on maps to start with this time around which will hopefully be addressed with future DLC. I would highly recommend this game though players new to the series beware as if you've never played the previous Black Ops games there may be some parts of the story you won't fully understand but even then you will still enjoy the overall experience and story. This is a solid entry into the series just don't expect any new and evolved multiplayer.

Awesome!

My favorite things about this game are: 1) great graphics, 2) great online multiplayer, 3) great local multiplayer, 4) Zombies.Installing this game in the PS5 was tricky. Even though you have a disk game, the game will install a little short of 200GB in your console (makes me wonder why the disk then??). Secondly, it will only install Part 1 of the campaign. You will need to delete Part 1 of the campaign after it is fully downloaded. After deleting part 1 of the campaign, you need to go back to the campaign and re-download the campaign (which then downloads parts 1 and 2.). Lastly, you will need to repeat the process again to download part 3 of the campaign.A little inconvenient and strange, but it shouldn’t take long if you have a good internet plan without ... MoreMy favorite things about this game are: 1) great graphics, 2) great online multiplayer, 3) great local multiplayer, 4) Zombies.Installing this game in the PS5 was tricky.

Cod

Fun game engaging to the fact were if you were mad and got off no doubt you would come back the next day or 30 minutes later. And all the avaliable skills to upgrade I can't wait for season 3 which in a matter of fact comes out in 4 days. I have completion the campaign twice which is obviously good to play a second time. The zombies are a little to easy but very fun and if you've never beaten any main easter eggs on zombies these maps are the little more easier than the ones before. Also the fact that zombies has some camos of their own for zombies which if you play warzone you can rock it for that it isn't to diffucult of camos but enough to keep you playing for another month also the multiplayer camo challenge have sky rocketed in diffuculty which is a good thing ... MoreFun game engaging to the fact were if you were mad and got off no doubt you would come back the next day or 30 minutes later.

The diamond camo being brought back and the dark matter from bo3 thoughs are my two faviorite camos in the history of call of duty history and the fact that they are bringing back OG historic maps like the nuke town people giv it hate but I drop at least 70 kills every time I get that ma plus express,and raid those are historic maps the rest is no words try the game out guys!

Don’t waste your money

I’ve played Call of Duty for many years, and this has to be one of the least fun versions I’ve played.Multiplayer : If you are a casual gamer, you will not enjoy the online experience. Skill based match making has been tuned up to the point that each match is difficult, and is “sweaty”. Each lobby is paired with individuals at a similar level, and if you achieve moderate success one match expect the upcoming games to be more difficult: resulting in a less enjoyable experience. Weapon camouflage challenges have glitches, and bugs relating to unlocking them. It’s all been pushed toward buying the season pass, which unlocks similar/better looking camos at the cost of more money. 6v6 has become unsupported, and not enjoyable.Zombies: Has changed from a classic ... MoreI’ve played Call of Duty for many years, and this has to be one of the least fun versions I’ve played.Multiplayer : If you are a casual gamer, you will not enjoy the online experience.

It is very easy to last 30+ rounds without much effort, as well as poor map design.Everything is obviously put into the game to push the purchase of the season pass for war zone. For many; the only reason players are even on the game is to unlock attachments for Warzone.

Good, but needs a few more months of development.

Black Ops Cold War is a really good game, when it works. The game has been rushed and is in beta stage, at best, for the Series X. I've lost all audio from the game regularly, requiring a reboot. I've lost all game audio but kept the chat audio multiple times, requiring reboot. One level of the campaign crashes at least once every time I play it, and this last time I played it, it crashed 4 times in about 12 minutes. Another mission gives you a sniper rifle on the side of a mountain, and if you dare to look through the scope at surrounding mountains, it produces graphics glitches that sometimes crash the game. Trying to get a second player registered with Activision for split screen will lock the player into an infinite loop of error messages and registration pages, ... MoreBlack Ops Cold War is a really good game, when it works.

Trying to get a second player registered with Activision for split screen will lock the player into an infinite loop of error messages and registration pages, requiring a reboot to exit. If you do get a second player in split screen (they'll need to be registered with Activision first), they will likely be locked out of their class creation. Trying to load certain maps with a guest account for the second player can crash the game. The custom game creation is a dumpster fire, and they clearly never bothered to test it because the menus for setting up custom game rules are completely broken, listing weapons in the perks and equipment slots and preventing most of the restrictions from being used. Setting up games with bots requires a lot of trial and error as there are two different menus where this can be done (usually... sometimes one disappears), but the options aren't at all the same. In one menu, I was able to set bot difficulty unless I had already put in the maximum number of bots, and then I had to reboot to set the difficulty, while the other menu didn't allow for setting the bot difficulty at all. Some of the maps available will remove all bots from the game and prevent them from being added back when you change to another map, requiring another reboot. And as of today, they added a massive patch that has now locked me out of the game and tells me to purchase the full game. I expect some hiccups with updates, but I get the impression that the developer really only ever fully tested the standard multiplayer modes where they knew the vast majority of the players would spend their time. The rest of the game hasn't had adequate Quality Control.Like I said, it's a good game when it works. I like it better than any other COD since Modern Warfare 3, though I haven't yet played the 2019 Modern Warfare reboot.

It's alright

Purchased as a gift, but played the campaign myself. It's alright, the story is nowhere near as good as the Modern Warfare (2019) reboot, or even Vanguard. However, I enjoyed it. The reduced difficulty compared to the older games will please the older, less able players, but won't be challenging for the Veterans. I appreciate that it's a step in the right direction. Just wished the missions would play out after each other rather than the safe house in-between. I did run into an issue on "End of the Line". The level would load very slowly and if left would disconnect from the server and take you back to the dashboard after 10 minutes. Pressing the PS button would result in a crash. The method I used was to turn off online and play it offline, it took about 15-20 ... MorePurchased as a gift, but played the campaign myself.

This was on a PS5 and I have no idea why the game did this as the campaign is downloaded in 3 parts). Game very rarely touched on Vietnam, which I thought was false advertising, and the level that replays itself 5 times was annoying. Mixing the zombies up in the campaign will be confusing for players unaware of it. There are some tricky parts for elders. The new Call of Duty's are definitely aimed at multiplayer sadly.

It’s just another COD game

This game is decent to say it best. I was not all that jazzed about the campaign. I don’t really play zombies that much. So really for me it is multiplayer. I liked somethings about it and like always there are things I hate. The perk system is ok, especially if you like to upgrade your weapons and have several attachments, but this just overpowers certain guns to a ridiculous point. The weapon choices are ok, like always there is a variety to choose from to suit your play style. I don’t like the fact that finishing moves are locked behind battle pass. You should be able to earn these in gameplay, and not having to complete every stage in the battle pass season. Some of us can’t grind like that all day. But making these things achievable like finishing moves, ... MoreThis game is decent to say it best. I was not all that jazzed about the campaign. I don’t really play zombies that much.

But making these things achievable like finishing moves, character unlocks, skins, through challenges and gameplay would make it better. There should be a happy medium between players who just want to spend the $ for the game and enjoy it and those who want to spend an infinite amount of money to unlock everything there is that the game has to offer. I think they should put some stuff in there that we can earn or trade in prestige tokens for. Still sell your battle pass for those with the deep pockets and give your other players a chance to unlock some of this stuff without having to shell out. Give us something. The free bundles they give are usually nothing to get excited for. I know that this is the way it is, but it would make your audience appreciate you more if you gave them that happy medium.

Ok. Not great but not bad. Its CoD

With a new CoD game releasing basically every year for 2 decades its hard to get enthused with them anymore. There are some hardcore COD fans. Not stepping on their toes. Im just tired of the same thing almost every year. Gets repetative and old but thats my opinion.The main draw of COD games are the multiplayer and their is a huge following.One thing I can say is many people miss out on the single player campaigns which are usually pretty good.Some of the COD single campaigns have literally been incredible. I suggeat trying a few of them. They are nothing like the multiplayer games

The choice

Da experience is great just like any other game in the gaming universe it starts with a choice the player gotta make. You wanna be Blue team or Red team. Both have awesome resources to try out.Trigger warning: Gaming experience is a lot to process at once but if you keep trying you will get it eventually.My favorite part is when you are playing in the campaign you literally walk into the most secure building in Russia and steal government intel and discover a secret black ops mission and you gotta do all of this without getting caught or your identity exposed. The adrenaline was awesome, my bladder almost exploded ! The excitement was beyond any other experience I have ever had.Definitely a great addon to the Call of Duty saga, hyperrealistic especially if you ... MoreDa experience is great just like any other game in the gaming universe it starts with a choice the player gotta make.
