![]() ![]() With Cold War, however, I’m struggling to see what the next major iterative improvement here is, even with the leap to next generation consoles.Īs usual the game is split into distinct parts, this time the mains ones being the campaign, multiplayer and zombies, with Warzone able to be integrated and accessed from the main menu if you have it downloaded.Īlthough I griped earlier about no massive changes to the overall gameplay or presentation, one slight difference with Cold War is how players can approach the campaign. ![]() WW2 took the franchise back to its boots-on-the-ground roots after myriad entries chock full of futuristic tech and wall running shenanigans, Black Ops 4 saw the series take its first shaky step into the world of Battle Royale games, something that was further expanded upon and refined with Warzone the point of that brief summary of the last few Call of Duty titles was to illustrate that point that, despite their respective flaws, each game introduced a new concept or manner of approaching the gameplay in ways that have persisted through each subsequent entry. ![]() One could argue that the annual release model has prevented the Call of Duty series from reaching its true potential and innovating in ways that only longer gestating projects can, and nowhere is this more evident in Cold War, which feels like the safest and most by-the-numbers entry in a while. After a stellar return to form with last year’s double whammy of Modern Warfare and the incredibly lucrative Warzone, Treyarch was always going to have big boots to attempt to fill, especially considering that the development houses that each take care of their respective releases on a three year dev cycle were suddenly and unexpectedly pared down to two, with Treyarch stepping up to take the reigns after former mainstay developer Sledgehammer Games encountered some behind the scenes issues with getting the game up to an acceptable standard in time.Īs such, Treyarch had to scramble a bit in order to rectify the issues that were evident with the game and this has resulted in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War being an admirable and fairly fun entry into the franchise but one that fails to reach the precedent set by the previous entry ![]()
