Activision has devalued all of its other franchises to focus on this one and when one of these not only 'disappoints' but outright flops, I cannot imagine the catastrophic result that'll have on the company. Can this franchise please take a year off? If Assassins Creed can do it I don't see why Call of Duty can't. The multiplayer is the same thing you've played before, nothing has changed. The voice actors being changed for no real reason is somewhat lame. The campaign is pretty great though, and the story it tells is a fun ride that harkens back to the goodness of Black Ops and Black Ops 2, and throws in the cool surreal aspects of Black Ops 3.

The zombies mode here is among the most bland and banal to date, I don't understand how the zombies mode seems to get worse with every installment. The development of this was known to have been a mess and it really shows, and the fact gnat it was developed during a global pandemic did it no favors. Remember when it used to be sort of an 'event' whenever a Call of Duty game came out every year? I can't help but feel like this franchise is becoming almost an obligation for consumers to get every year just so they can say they've gotten it. Overall this game has a lot of potential to be great but it feels very rushed at the moment, hopefully the dlc maps will be great. This game feels too much like Modern Warfare 2019 but with a few extra features that the game needed.

Graphics are a step down from the previous title. The developers just focus on the battle royale game mode now instead of multiplayer which is a huge slap in the face to older players. There are only 8 maps at launch and none of them stand out, they're just really bland, the skill based match making completely ruins the multiplayer experience. Zombies is really fun in this game and is arguably the best mode. All the future content will be free which is great and all of the guns feel good. The campaign is absolutely fantastic and that fact that it has multiple endings like black ops 2 makes it even better. I love the call of duty franchise and I was really exited to hear that Treyarch's next game would be set during the Cold War, however I am very happy and very disappointed with this game.

Is call of duty cold war worth buying
