Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War (PS5)

Product Information

Keeping up with the latest trends in rendering and latency developments, the game will also include both NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and Reflex Technology. It's by no means a Telltale title — your decisions aren't that important — but the illusion in the moment will definitely have you considering every option on offer. This is true within Cold War's campaign, where the inclusion of Ronald Reagan is a bizarre fit for an otherwise larger-than-life story about espionage and brainwashing, and it's true when comparing its story to that of last year's self-serious Modern Warfare.

Several NATO allies appear throughout the seasons assisting Adler and the CIA in fighting Stitch's forces, including: DGSE operative Zeyna Ossou (Mara Junot), SRT Marine Wyatt "Bulldozer" Jones (Jeff Schine), Delta Force sniper Terrell Wolf (Zeke Alton), guerrilla fighter Karla Rivas (Krizia Bajos), Unit 777 officer Jabari Salah (Ayman Samman), and CIA SAD/SOG operative Colton "Stryker" Greenfield (Christian Rummel). The unification of multiplayer and zombies progression is one of the biggest quality-of-life improvements here. Seriously, if you need another showcase for the DualSense controller besides Astro's Playroom, this is it. Fireteam: Dirty Bomb, to give its full title, tasks 10 squads of four with collecting Uranium and arming explosives with that resource.Following Endstation's destruction, Maxis investigates further into Omega Group's activities, and travels to Outpost 25, located in A Sầu Valley, Vietnam, but is captured by Omega forces and thrown into the Dark Aether dimension. While the recreation of his likeness and manner of speech is undeniably striking--a technical feat to be sure--he comes across as a weirdly benign grandpa in a room full of rough-talking, chain-smoking badasses discussing illegal military operations.

From the '80s-themed montage that opens the campaign to a Vietnam flashback set to Steppenwolf--along with plenty of explosions, helicopter crashes, and slo-mo shootouts--Cold War's campaign is as action-movie as you'd expect. On August 2, 1984, Stitch and Perseus operative Benito "Fuze" Ortega attempt to defuse several explosive charges planted all across Verdansk by Adler.Enlisting the help of one of their KGB double agent allies, Dimitri Belikov, they manage to get Adler and Bell inside the Lubyanka Building. In May 2021, for the mid-season update of Season 3, Activision and Treyarch announced a collaboration event, titled "'80s Action Heroes", featuring the addition of John Rambo and John McClane as playable characters, as well as new limited-time game modes inspired by the Rambo franchise and the Die Hard film series. Weapons are responsive and distinct from each other, and on PS5, the DualSense controller's adaptive triggers further differentiate one weapon from the next--I'll get to that a bit later on. In September 2021, Activision and Rebellion Developments announced a collaboration, bringing the character Judge Dredd of the 2000 AD comic book series into Cold War as a cosmetic outfit for the operator Ingo Beck. Hands-down the most significant difference with playing Cold War on the PlayStation 5 is owed to the console’s amazing DualSense controller.

Meanwhile, Omega Group authorizes a new operation to free Zykov from the Dark Aether, intending to use this opportunity to take down the Forsaken with their own warheads. Combined Arms is Cold War's answer to Modern Warfare's Ground War, and it's my favorite of the multiplayer modes. A big part of that is the map design--Die Maschine is just the right size, with enough room that everyone can kite their own crowd of zombies but small enough that it doesn't take ages to learn the map basics. The MP5, even after its nerf, has a satisfying snappiness in the right trigger that I really like; the AK-74u feels a bit heftier but is easy to aim and shoot for the power it gets you.Zykov, who wishes to escape the dimension, has attempted to reach out to the real world, giving both Requiem and Omega warnings of a mysterious entity commanding the undead forces from within. The PlayStation 5 version was the nineteenth bestselling retail game in Japan throughout the same week, with 6,045 copies being sold. Auto Sprint Enabled will allow you to move around the map quicker, but you’ll need to get used to only slightly moving your stick when stealthy. We don’t even mind the vehicles in the more open maps either, especially in game modes like Dirty Bomb where you can ride around at full speed, shotguns at the ready to take out fireteam squads and collect that precious Uranium. Of course, Cold War and Modern Warfare are different sub-series, so it's not fair to expect them to be identical.
