Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War is the seventeenth main installment of the popular FPS series, developed by Activision Blizzard since 2003. The production was developed by the publisher’s Treyarch studio, which has been in charge of the Black Ops sub-series since its inception.

Cold War Storyline
The plot of Call of Duty Cold War is a standalone story, understanding of which does not require knowledge of the previous installments of the series. Nevertheless, the game features characters known from previous productions under this banner, led by Mason, Woods and Hudson, and they are joined by a CIA agent, Russel Adler, who has not been introduced to the players before.
As the title suggests, the action of the game is set during the Cold War; during the game, however, we have to thwart the plans of an enigmatic KGB agent, known under the code name Perseus. Interestingly, the game has several endings – which one we see depends on the decisions we make during the final stages.

Exciting, fast-paced gameplay
The action of the game is presented from the first-person perspective. If it comes to the main elements of the gameplay CoD: Black Ops Cold War is a typical example of an FPS game. Players will take part in spectacular, action-packed missions and fight with enemies using a variety of different firearms, including pistols, assault rifles, shotguns, and even prototype weapons from the Cold War period.

During the single-player campaign, players will have the opportunity to visit a number of locations, in many different parts of the world. Single-player missions are challenging and going into the middle of battle will not end well. During the encounter, players will have to use elements of the environment to find the right cover, and gain an advantage over the enemy. Some missions will also require a more stealthy approach, in order to get behind the enemy line without being detected, etc.

Game modes
Besides the spectacular single-player campaign, CoD: BO Cold War features very engaging multiplayer mode, being the second most important element in every CoD game. It features some old-school 6v6 and 12v12 matches but also a new mode called ‘Fireteams’ which allows up to 40 players to join the battle. The game offers an advanced Class system, similar to the one from Modern Warfare with some new modifications. Every player can create a unique class to match his personal preferences and playstyle. It is important to mention that the game will support cross-play in terms of platforms, and generations. Additionally, the progression system implemented in Black Ops Cold War features the Warzone support which means that the Battle Pass will unify the progression in both games.

Aside from the competitive multiplayer modes and exciting single-player missions, the game is enjoyed by thousands of players in the Zombie micro campaign. Players can team up with a group of friends and fight back countless hordes of bloodthirsty zombies. The mode features a number of unique abilities and perks, as well as a diverse arsenal that can be used for eliminating the undead.
