Abstract: In the brave new era of battle royale, where games are free and everlasting, the concept of paying £60 for an annual first-person shooter release has begun to feel a little outdated. Nevertheless, here is Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the sixth title...

Gunplay is crisp and satisfying, Most of the maps are well designed, Fireteam: Dirty Bomb is brill with pals
Only eight maps, Very little innovation, Combined Arms is the worst COD has ever been

Abstract: By my estimate, it's been roughly a week since Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War 's Outbreak mode for Zombies went live. or went undead, in this case, and the good news is that most of the community seems to be enjoying it.As for me, I guess I am having f...
Abstract: If The Game Awards 2020 was a burger, then this would probably be the juicy patty in between the buns. Having something else to talk about besides nominees and winners makes all the difference in an awards ceremony like this one because a burger without a...
Aesthetics package and diversity are excellent, Combat actually feels satisfying and challenging, Campaign and Zombies experience far surpass previous titles
Prevailing issues for MP and Warzone are still present, "I ain't going down there alone!"
Abstract: Score: 7Verdict: There's a very thin line between a nostalgic experience and an archaic one, and it's a line that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's Multiplayer has not quite managed to balance on. It feels like an old-school shooter at times which...
