Why Is Black Ops: Cold War SO BAD?!

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is one of the most broken games I’ver ever played. It’s safe to say the Global Pandemic and Activision switching developers sure had an impact on how Cold War turned out. But let’s find out what makes it SO BAD?!

This is the only cod I’ve played thoroughly and I’ve enjoyed all of it. I can’t believe how much content was put into this game, I was under the impression that cod games don’t have much effort into their games because of yearly releases/ easy money. I loved the campaign, I know people hate multiplayer, but I do like the competitiveness/ sweatiness. I really enjoyed playing zombies and I was happy to see zombies maps being added overtime. Overall I like this game and I don’t understand why people wouldn’t like it. I mean I can see why people wouldn’t like multiplayer but other than that I think it’s a pretty solid game.

Time for you to go back and play some of the older games I think

[@Deadsea_1993]

@@user-rc6nb1iq8b . The older ones are above this one by a large margin. This one was underwhelming and it all felt rushed. I was in the minority that didn't care to see Hudson, Woods, or Mason here. I would have preferred to have played as a Russian soldier working for the USSR and to have played as Bell the other parts of the game. The new characters seemed interesting and yet we barely had any time to get to know them. I thought that Simms would get more screen time, especially since he was a Vietnam Special Ops soldier, but nope. He seemed interesting as did Parks.

Micro transactions are a babies first go to for a dying franchise. Cold War is actually a game built off the bones of another devs cancelled title. We know this was originally a sledgehammer game originally and Treyarch was told to take over. We basically got a half baked game built off someone else’s framework. Like, the guns look bad, sound bad, feel mediocre, the campaign is okay, the zombies is fun. But the core of the game which is multiplayer is this rushed mess of a game and you can tell how much that mess affected every other aspect of the game. Like I already mentioned this but the guns sound and look bad in every single mode, you can’t get away from the plastic nerf look and sound of the MP5. It’s really sad activision doesn’t have a brain to put a hold on yearly releases so that these devs have time to actually build a game properly.

Got it during MW2 reboot's final legs before the launch of the mess it was MW3 reboot (that you already talked about) and I LOVED it; They fixed the cutscenes and other glitches and bugs so I didn't saw them in my playthrough. The choices actually change the plot, even if a bit superficially, and aren't a dumb single question that leads nowhere like in MW3 reboot; Multiplayer is still a bit iffy, but Zombies besides a bit of a snag with Outbreak is pretty good. Heck even the Warzone story line was pretty nice... sadly it led to a deranged WW2 Vet telling stuff like Godzilla and the mess it's the CoD Mobile plot when we got to Vanguard, but the resolution to Adler's vendetta against Perseus (with a nice nod to Rebirth Island from BO1) was good; Another good thing is that the plot for it actually brought it a lot more to Multiplayer maps, unlike every other game set from the MW reboot onwards that makes the plot revolve entirely around the Warzone map; Also Mauer der Toten makes me wonder why they got Zombies perfect on this one, to drop the ball in Vanguard and MW3 Zombies.

i've watch most of your call of duty reviews, and strangely enough, im getting inspiration to make a fantasy shooter game with multiple modes, a survival mode [inspired by zombies] but more on the style of Left of dead, where the character must work together to accomplish certain objectives a quick match up, for casual ranked [for people who like that, i dont] 2 types of race modes, one with vehicles and one without vehicles. but with ramdom guns and minimal although i feel i bit divided, because the original idea was going to be a shooter with enfasis in movement and options, each character could choose up to two abilities betwen, wall jump[+ extra speed], climbing and wall walking, a grappling hook, a shield with knock back that can be used to make high and long jumps backwards, a mine that can also be used as a teleporter, a drone that make the illusion of your character moving while turning you invisible [for scouting], parrying bullets [with a tight active frame] all those option would also include a second jump and small dash. i know it sound complitly oposite of what you like about COD but thats kinda the point, but the more i think about the idea, the less appealing it would see for a casual players. which make me question if my idea is worth making? the things your video mostly inspired are level design, weapon, and features most player wouldnt even notice, like sound design, UI, extra perks, modification to weapon, although i still would make them on fantasy setting, its all valuable

Imo, Juggernog and Stamin-up being Crutch Perks in zombies literally does not matter when you can have EVERY Perk. The main problem, at least to me, is that a crutch perk meant you could have less variety, because you were ALWAYS gonna take that perk, so in reality with Juggernog, it felt like you had 250 health and only 3 perk slots. But, if there is no perk limit, It doesn't really matter, and I absolutely love it.
