Review & Tips – Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War


There are a few certainties in the world of games. That’s why I mean game series of which we get a new part every year. The various sports games from EA fall under this, for example, but also Call of Duty belongs to the game series. Last year we had a great time with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and now it’s turn Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War.

The lead developer of Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War is Treyarch. That’s the studio that gave us all the games from the Black Opssubseries. The last game of theirs is from 2018 and was Black Ops 4. That game was no longer as over the top as for example Black Ops 3, but still a lot faster than Modern Warfare. Met Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War you end up in a setting of the Cold War, which makes the weapons you have and the elements that you can summon in multiplayer are a lot less modern.

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War is traditioneel qua content

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War brings a traditional triangle in terms of amount of content. It consists of a short but intense main story, extensive multiplayer and a zombie mode. Who has been gaming for a while and the old ones Black Opsgames will feel right at home in the story. You will encounter a number of characters who were also in the earlier parts of the series. Think of old hands like Woods and Mason. That is just great to see. You don’t need any prior knowledge of the old games: you can easily get involved.

In the story of Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War you go looking for Perseus. This is a Russian spy who has threatened the Western world every time he has come into the picture. So the fact that he comes on the scene is bad news. Like a typical Call of Dutygame, you travel the world in search of answers. Sometimes you shoot out with a lot of spectacle, while afterwards you have to work sneaky to achieve your goals. There is a good variety in what you do. It is not long at all, but it is still a good start to get to know the new game.

Multiplayer

Ultimately, it has been shown for years that the multiplayer of the game is the part for which you get the game. That is also the case for Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War. The multiplayer is very recognizable. You create your character, choose your weapon and equipment and enter battle. You can choose from various types of modes, so there is something for everyone. By making kills and completing goals you score XP, which allows you to level up and unlock new gear. With the weapons themselves you also go up in levels and unlock the well-known attachments. It is well-known, but it is a recipe that continues to fascinate.

Recognizable multiplayer

Scorestreaks continue

In which Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War especially difference compared to Modern Warfare is that score streaks are not reset when you are killed. The points you earn keep counting. You have to do a bit more kills to activate something like a Spy Plane (say your UAV), but it often works, because you continue counting after a death. That way there is less stress, because your streaks do not fall into the water and there may be a little less camming. But the disadvantage is that after a few minutes you are often thrown to death with attack choppers and jet fighters. And you cannot easily shoot this one from the sky with a single rocket.

In addition to the standard modes for twelve players Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War also a mode where you play on slightly larger maps with more players. You can also use vehicles separately. In addition, you have a mode for forty players: Fireteam Dirty Bomb. The forty players are divided into groups of four, where you have the goal to score points on a large map. You do this by making kills, but also by scoring uranium and dumping it at points where a bomb is made. But if someone kills you, you lose that uranium. The result is a lot of action and good chaos. It is also good to know that you respawnt. You can do that from the air, but you can also drop with one of your teammates. Really an ideal mode to try when you are used to playing together in a Battle Royale game.

The zombie mode

Finally know Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War as said a Zombie mode. This is also great to play with friends. And it is also a bit more accessible. You can change your custom load out that you use in multiplayer and start right away that way. With that, some of the magic of the mode has disappeared, but believe me, if you play this with friends and it goes wild, then it’s just great.

In terms of innovation Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War not very exciting. But the fun you have with it again is quite great. The game is now available on all available platforms. Prefer a game with action? Then Assassin’s Creed Valhalla might be a game for you.
