Communicated Content- Following the release of WWII and Modern Warfare chapters, Activision is slowly relaunching all its Call of Duty franchises: in particular, the Black Ops Cold War appeared. The Cold War edition ignores the events of the second and third parts and is actually a reboot of the series. The connections with the 2010 game can be traced: Mason and Woods, who perform secondary roles become your companions again. The CoD Cold War has gained many fans and critics: is it worth buying? Let’s find out.
The Plot of the Game
The focus of the CoD Cold War is on new heroes like the typical CIA officer Russell Adler. He has to deal with the new antagonist – the Soviet spy Perseus, aiming to blow up nuclear bombs in several European capitals. President Reagan instructs Adler to make a squad to ruin the Perseus’ plans and reveal his agents, after which a super-fast bloody shooter turns into a full-fledged spy mission. Perhaps, this is just the best part of the game. Firefights on the rooftops, walk through the jungle full of enemies, smashing a Soviet military base, escaping under heavy enemy fire, attacking Solovki — all this awaits you in the game.
Advantages of the Game
- “Spy missions”
The game reveals itself in those missions in which you practically do not have to use a weapon. The scene in the KGB premises, when the player is temporarily given control of a double-agent who has to deflect suspicions from himself and lead the American agents inside — one of the brightest in Call of Duty in general. The game turns into a Hitman, with the study of patrol routes, hiding corpses, and several ways to accomplish the assigned tasks.
-
Alternative final missions
The player will have to choose quite often, and the end of the game can vary depending on the consequences of such decisions. Therefore, you can multiply the usual 7 hours of the storyline game by two.
-
Collectibles have practical uses
Collecting in-game items has a special value because they are used as pieces of evidence, without which it will be hard to complete at least two missions and eliminate Perseus’s comrades. In particular, it is needed to compare info about the movements of suspects with data on payments made and audio recording to identify three double-agents, in the other — to solve a series of ciphers to gain access to the data.
Finally, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is definitely the best game of 2020 fall. It is a well-balanced game with a lot of decent content, as well as fresh and successful plot twists. A lot of interesting things in the game can be found both for an avid fan of the series and for an ordinary casual gamer.
