You are warned. After searching around, some Call of Duty games, it mostly came around to me as my time playing the series was originally the entire Modern Warfare and the first two Black Ops titles in the series. Black Ops had a huge part upon me with its story, and characters like Woods, Hudson, and Mason even asked me what the numbers Mason was thinking? Throughout the time, Call of Duty felt not the same until Modern Warfare came out in 2019. When it just made me hope Call of Duty heads back to the roots of the Original Series. Although it felt like it never will after Black Ops II was the last best game we've gotten in my opinion upon multiplayer and stuff, etc. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty awesome to play the old zombies in Black Ops IV! Through my time, I really hope Call of Duty goes back to the series it should be, even though it's being milked over too much. Suddenly, a new title comes into place, in the mists and taking a different take of an arch to the Original series of Black Ops, and it came out of shadows as "Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War." Before we begin the review, I want to take a look at the game development before we begin, shall we? The development nor history of Black Ops Cold War.In May 2019, the site named "Kotaku" reported that a new title would be in upheaval as developers Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software would be increasing the concerns or tensions upon the studios with some sources claiming it was a "mess." In response, Activision had assigned Treyarch to become the lead developer alongside Raven Software, which has led to shorter development time. Compared to the previous entries, the two had different responsibilities, and on the one hand, Raven Software was the lead developer of the game's single-player campaign. Then on August, 4th 2020, Activision, in their Q2 call they confirmed a new Call of Duty title is planned for release in 2020 and Raven Software plus Treyarch are working on it, and it being the first Call of Duty game since Modern Warfare III to be co-developed by two studios. Raven Software became the main developer for the first time. They've mostly assisted in Multiplayer and extra features in previous titles even with it being connected with Modern Warfare (2019) and Warzone. Raven Software's senior creative director Dan Vondrak had an idea to have multiple endings for the game, stating, "When we started creating the story, we had multiple endings in mind right away, which really helped... But we knew right away that we wanted to do that. I absolutely loved the idea that we could have a little bit of homage to Black Ops 2 by having these multiple endings". Now with the history, let's get into Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War! The Story or the Introduction so far |
