With stripped back mechanics and an underwhelming set of maps, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's multiplayer is somewhat of a backwards step for the series.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.
And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.
I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
The Monthly Games lineup of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Alan Wake Remastered and Endling – Extinction is Forever will be available to PlayStation Plus members on Tuesday, July 4 until Monday July 31.
Another great month imo. The COD campaign on this one was great fun. I've never played Alan Wake, so a PS5 version of that is a perfect way to prepare for the next one...
You're in for a treat with Alan Wake. It still holds after so many years.
For me it's the best psychological thriller I've ever played that is not Silent Hill.
Alan Wake 2 is my most wished sequel of all time, waiting for it since 2010...
Sweet!! I never got around to playing it on the 360 but always wanted to. Looking forward to next month!!
Agreed. You see I'm surprised that Microsoft hasn't bought remedy...of all the studios in their list....I'd assume remedy would be an obvious based on real actual relationships.
I liked Alan Wake and am super excited for Alan Wake 2. Hopefully turns out great ..I've actually liked ALL of their games including quantum break...except for the TV show part.
I've never bought a CoD game, but now due to PS+, I 'rent' like 8 of them or so. I played one a few times with my nephews. Still not my cup of tea. But, it's interesting to see how many CoD games PS+ can throw at me.
I picked up my copy of it 2nd hand just last Saturday. agghhh. If only I had waited just a little more longer.
It looks as though PlayStation Plus owners are in for a treat next month, as next month's PS Plus games look set to include 2020's Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
Woah .. .wait what? IGN rating CoD MP a 6/10? (Irrespective if its better or worse than MW, this is IGN and CoD)
IGN, you guys sure the cheque didn't came through?
.
So if they award zombies an 8, that's still less than 7 by average for the overall.
But IGN's final score is irrespective of that math.
Why spend $60+ on recycling, when you have a perfectly put together pile of recycling right next what you just bought?
Lol. I'm having a good time with it; usually I only play the campaigns and move on. Cartel map is my favorite. :)
For cold war I'm only having fun with the zombies and campaign. The multiplayer is so broken. The hit detection is horrendous. I'll see my bullets going into a guys head or chest but no hit markers show up. They always seem to kill me with 2 shots from an smg. I've adjusted my settings and tried all the tips and tricks from YouTube and my frames keep hitching. I just stick to Modern Warfare for mp because it's so much better.
Maybe after a couple of months they’ll get more modes and maps-along with a price drop.
