![]() The only benefit is the connection between the Activision accounts. ![]() The big question that remains is…is it worth it to spend the extra mons on the cross platform edition? Do you buy the PS4 version or do you give yourself the option of picking where you play? In my experience, there is no big difference in quality between the two consoles and there is no big graphical upgrade from the PS4 to the PS5. Sure, it’s difficult to find a partner to play zombies (which in itself gets VERY repetitive) with but why am I being kicked off a server for solo play? What is not satisfying is the fact that I get kicked often from the server, both in multiplayer and in campaign play and that doesn’t make sense to me. Even though there really aren’t that many guns in your arsenal, you weight you feel while shooting feels more pop-y than MW and somehow, more satisfying. I have heard a lot of people hate on the gunplay in this game but I actually really like how shooting feels. You find yourself in the jungles of Vietnam in a helicopter with “Fortunate Son” by CCR playing and that segment was a lot of fun. One of my favorite moments was during a Vietnam War flashback. ![]() It takes place in the 80’s so it really does have that late 70’s/early 80’s feel to the gameplay. While the story is linear, you create your character with the benefits of your choice, you do main missions to collect clues to complete sides missions and the whole thing feels like espionage. The multiplayer has several modes but zombies, but the campaign is a lot more interactive than what I expected. ![]() While the campaign in Modern Warfare was fun, the multiplayer modes are the superstars for that came, but the opposite is true with Cold War. Only eight maps were released with the multiplayer mode and that means the maps get repetitive pretty quickly. While the campaign graphics are a little better than the multiplayer, they still remain less realistic than those of Modern Warfare. The same holds true for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. While you can’t claim that the graphics in Modern Warfare are considered realistic, Black Ops graphics have always been more on the cartoonish side. UNLESS you get added to a team of bad team players who will never revive you (you know who you are and you know what you did!). The mode is included in the multiplayer rotation of the final game and it is pretty fun. Players are placed on a team of four and work to collect uranium to fill and detonate dirty bombs. Skip to the beta and a little bit more of the game was released to whet the COD player palette with you standard multiplayer modes but it also included a new mode called Fireteam which reminded me of something you may see in Warzone. Even given that fact, I enjoyed what I saw. In the past, Call of Duty will release a finished game as a beta just to entice players to buy the game but in this case, it was a true alpha looking for improvements. What they seemed to forget is that an alpha can be really bare bones. Players got the chance to try this game out during the alpha and seemed disappointed in what they saw. Last year we had a new Modern Warfare and this year we are jumping into the 1980’s with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Not only has the newest Modern Warfare multiplayer sucked me in past the event horizon, but I was first introduced to the franchise via the split-screen missions in MW2. As a recently converted Battlefield player, Modern Warfare holds a special place in my heart. Joker but none like the battle between Modern Warfare and Black Ops. There are some battles that are for the ages: Hatfield vs. Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), PlayStation 5 (reviewed), Xbox Series X/S and Windows After the big hit that was Modern Warfare, can Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War serve up good gameplay across two system generations?ĭeveloper: Treyarch, Raven Software, High Moon Studios, Beenox and Sledgehammer Games
