Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War (PS5)

Product Information

There’s enough variety in the mission locations and gameplay to keep you interested, and we enjoyed the fact you could collect evidence in the essential missions to complete optional puzzles that further contextualize the clandestine narrative. It was enough to make us break out a notepad, which is always a treat in a modern AAA game, where puzzles are usually liquidated. Schreier, Jason (May 18, 2019).

I really liked the campaign, probably my favorite single player CoD experience since the early 2010s. Like it better than even last year's MW campaign which I was also a big fan of. Excellent use of the Dualsense as well, made the already fun gameplay more satisfying. Cold War is missing key mechanics that Modern Warfare and Warzone have, which leaves multiplayer at odds with the Warzone ecosystem. The biggest issue plaguing Zombies at the moment, though, is a bevy of server and matchmaking hiccups. I spend 10-15 minutes just troubleshooting matchmaking before my team and I can actually start playing, and it's not uncommon for one person to randomly error out right as the run is starting. I've experienced this both when utilizing cross-play and when playing with only PS5 players. We've also had both PS5 and Xbox Series X players experience hard crashes that completely shut off their systems. Technical issues like these are forgivable in the grand scheme, considering Cold War is cross-gen on top of allowing cross-play and launched in the middle of a pandemic. Still, it's worth noting that there are still a lot of issues to be ironed out.

An editorial by Ian Walker in Kotaku accused Call of Duty of legitimating the views of Bezmenov when it included footage of his interview with Griffin in its August trailer. Among the complaints he had was that Bezmenov's views acted as a magnet for far-right conspiracy theories and personalities, that Activision presented Bezmenov's interview without the proper context and that Bezmenov himself held views that Walker argued were on the far right.

I read online and few other people have the same issue. With its appealing Warzone integration and the hotly anticipated return of Zombies, there’s plenty here for every kind of returning player, but what about those consumers who are just looking for a solid shooter to play on their new device? Cold War's biggest miss, in terms of story, is giving the United States very little grief for its imagined ills. Without going into too much detail, the US is ultimately responsible for the main (and completely fictional) issue at the center of the game's campaign, all due to an absolutely bonkers anti-Soviet strategy gone awry. The protagonists' main concern is that the US will be blamed for how the Soviets use this to their advantage, rather than that the US is indeed guilty of a major foreign policy blunder and human rights violation in the first place. There are moments in one of the two major endings where the game flirts with the idea that the US is not blameless, but it's ostensibly the bad ending; completing its objectives made me feel guilty, which ultimately solidified my suspicion that the US was meant to be the good guys all along and that the ends justified the questionable means. Battle Pass and tier skips, or equivalent versions, will be accessible in Modern Warfare II once the season 1 battle pass, or equivalent system, is made available in game. Battle Pass redemption applies to one season of Modern Warfare II Battle Pass, or equivalent system only. Dodoo I enjoy the campaign and have no interest in the MP too. Previous campaigns have been longer than the more modern games I feel, even Modern Warefare seemed like 12-15 hours!
