There are even dialogue choices and written action choices throughout Cold War’s campaign. Other times you may have to search through a building for an item or a little reconnaissance work in the field. Some sequences will require you to play stealthily to sneak through an area. Yes, the majority of the time is spent ducking behind cover and shooting enemies with not the brightest A.I, though other types of activities break up the firefights. I appreciate them nonetheless for adding the bits of flavour that they do.Ĭontinuing Cold War’s ability to inject much-needed dynamism to its campaign is its variety in mission activities. All of these ultimately are condiments and garnishes to an otherwise standard Call of Duty dish. While I wish there was even more of these sorts of interactions, they help make the cast of Cold War feel a little more human and interesting (though they are still pretty one-dimensional). Sometimes other characters will have dialogue between each other which you can observe and pick up on the dynamics between your teammates. Outside of missions where you are lone-wolfing it or teaming up with a crew, you can interact with your teammates in new ways for the franchise. Additionally, you can go to each of the other characters and trigger conversations, which may reveal more about him or her. Examining each presents small text excerpts the player can read to understand the story unfolding. There’s the evidence board filled with pictures and small objects related to the story. Here’s where a lot of the quieter character and world-building can be experienced.
Often between missions, you return to the safe house base where Woods, Mason, and the rest of the team regroup. Despite what the trailers and franchise’s reputation may lead you to believe, Cold War has moments for the player to explore facets of the world and actually breathe before the next crescendo. More military jargon being shouted at me, sure, fine, whatever. This leads to a problem where any thrills plateaus and you become numb to everything happening on screen.Īh, another exploding thing, okay. I’ve found a number of past Call of Duty campaigns to be exhausting as they relentlessly keep the action explosive and cranked up to eleven. It’s filled with improbable but exciting sequences with a just interesting enough story featuring twists and turns you won’t find shocking yet will keep you intrigued. If last year’s Modern Warfare was akin to a more serious, grounded drama film, then Cold War is a big summer blockbuster, for better and for worse. There’s a lot in Cold War’s campaign that is standard for a Call of Duty adventure but also harkens back to those good ol’ days of the previous decade when the franchise was breaking new entertainment records every year. Classic characters make a return which helps build the nostalgia in Black Ops Cold War.
