I love the original Woods VA talking being angry. Not that i enjoy his anger like some troll or fanboy hating on him, he manages to still talk like woods even when being himself and thats why i love it
Mr Pheonix lmao season pass doesn’t exist anymore the cod games now every month or so have a new season that drops new content for the game for anyone who has purchased the game
@@CastilloBass Fair. It is the last Call of Duty I actually gave a f*ck about, I’ve really lost interest since then. BO6 is peaking my interest, but only as an observer, I don’t really play videogames all that much anymore. Here’s to hoping it’s a good one though, campaign sounds great! 👍🏻
I got it. Woods (2010): most recognizable for his signature line: “You can’t kill me!” Woods (2020): most recognizable for his signature line: “You can’t peel me!”
This is the only cod I’ve played thoroughly and I’ve enjoyed all of it. I can’t believe how much content was put into this game, I was under the impression that cod games don’t have much effort into their games because of yearly releases/ easy money. I loved the campaign, I know people hate multiplayer, but I do like the competitiveness/ sweatiness. I really enjoyed playing zombies and I was happy to see zombies maps being added overtime. Overall I like this game and I don’t understand why people wouldn’t like it. I mean I can see why people wouldn’t like multiplayer but other than that I think it’s a pretty solid game.
@@e.jordan9784 couldn't agree any more with that. I'd do slightly well and get put in a sweaty lobby, get dominated in that lobby and then get put in a lobby with people who have just started. It's really annoying how up and down how difficult public lobbies are
@@IQ-tie I tried going back to pubs but I can only get match made in sweaty lobbies. No matter how purposely bad I play, it's all I get. I play them to get a base weapon and use it in private matches
Man, imagine if CoD wasn’t under Activision and free to do what they wanted, take their time for development and forget all the micro transaction bullshit.
Micro transactions are a babies first go to for a dying franchise. Cold War is actually a game built off the bones of another devs cancelled title. We know this was originally a sledgehammer game originally and Treyarch was told to take over. We basically got a half baked game built off someone else’s framework. Like, the guns look bad, sound bad, feel mediocre, the campaign is okay, the zombies is fun. But the core of the game which is multiplayer is this rushed mess of a game and you can tell how much that mess affected every other aspect of the game. Like I already mentioned this but the guns sound and look bad in every single mode, you can’t get away from the plastic nerf look and sound of the MP5. It’s really sad activision doesn’t have a brain to put a hold on yearly releases so that these devs have time to actually build a game properly.
@@advictoriamsshitposts8689 My experience with Cold War on PC hasn't been anywhere near as insufferable as The Act Man on Series X, but crashes are still nonetheless well abundant. When it works, it at least works fine so that's something.
@xroiy tbh modern warfer was better i just bought and played it, the ammount of shock and surprise and core fan surprise was amazing, although i perfer cold war multiplayer
Such a bonehead move from Activison and Treyarch removing James Burns even though he MADE woods, this new actor is trying to impersonate everything about him.
Other than matchmaking which still is an issue, the rest of this game’s problems have been fixed and I think it’s one of the best ones. The campaign was always good but the addition of more content/replay ability to multiplayer and more content to zombies as well as all the bug fixes really make this game good
----Spoilers ahead---- when my dad walked into my room when playing the campaign he said alder was not good news, then 5 minutes later I got shot by alder. I should've listened to my dad.
I got goosebumps at the old characters getting heated at each other scene. It was so believeable for all those characters to react the way they did they FEEL like the characters even if they don't sound like them
@@Asmeenradee It’s not it’s Activision’s because they fired Sledgehammer from making this year’s Call of Duty which kinda makes it understandable since Sledgehammer did a mediocre job with WW2 but that doesn’t excuse Activision on why did they force Treyarch to make the game in a entire year since October or November depending on when did they start development last year. They were so desperate for money that they knew CoD fans would buy the game.
@@electricnova2256 And for some odd reason, i still like WW2 multiplayer from time to time.. It has a certain 'thing' that makes me come back to it every now and then.
You know what’s cool? Detective work. I really hope they implement it in future games. I love the idea that certain missions are hidden or unlocked by combinations of evidence examined/notes taken. Maybe a notebook or poster board mechanic that lets you compile and connect your evidence on your own so they game knows when to unlock what missions? And if they trickle this all the way down the game could have like 50 alternate endings.
I found the detective parts to be awful in this game. Keep that stuff out of future Cod games and reserve it for key moments in cutscenes and actions where you piece together the story. Collectibles shouldn't restrict normal game progress, sorry
Yes I completely agree with you, had a blast being a detective and wished there was more, wish there was more dialogue I could say. Just make it a rpg atp i want a fallout like COD
One thing I see under appreciated is the quality and detail of small objects, everything I would walk up to in the campaign was so crisp and clear, not once did I see a blurry object, I really wish this game got the flowers it deserves for doing something totally different and unique. Hopefully the sequel does things better.
This still stacks up as one of my favorite cods in the series. The campaign had an amazing story with cool new mechanics and the return of branching storylines,zombies was one of the best iterations I've seen,and although a bit devisive with a fucked sbmm system,the multi-player was fun(at times) too.
@@user-rc6nb1iq8b . The older ones are above this one by a large margin. This one was underwhelming and it all felt rushed. I was in the minority that didn't care to see Hudson, Woods, or Mason here. I would have preferred to have played as a Russian soldier working for the USSR and to have played as Bell the other parts of the game. The new characters seemed interesting and yet we barely had any time to get to know them. I thought that Simms would get more screen time, especially since he was a Vietnam Special Ops soldier, but nope. He seemed interesting as did Parks.
@@Deadsea_1993 Plus the cracking codes and detective work stuff I feel was pretty underused, only two sidequests in the entirety of the campaign. Good campaign but not as impactful as some of the other BO games.
The campaign was made entirely by Raven's Software , and that really shows how good that team is, i hope Activision gives them more games next, or more CoD campaigns.
if they took up sledgehammer's place within the 3 year dev cycle id be cool with that tbh. theyd probably be even better lmao. id definitely love to see some of their ips like heretic/hexen or soldier of fortune make a comeback even if it is unlikely considering activision. either way i wanna see more personal projects from them
the campaign was too garbage and wasted waaaaay too much potential where is menendez buildup? What happened to weaver? Why wasn’t he on bo2? Oh wait don’t tell me he is in fucking zombies🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 mason and woods were nothing like how they used to be campaign was too short the villain was too garbage characters had nothing to do with bo2 multiplayer was literally the same as mw2019 useless soulless operator system, shameless gunsmith system and here i thought it would just like bo1’s with wager matches on multiplayer but no its just mw2019 clone dont even get me started on how mid zombies were they did exactly opposite of what fans wanted he wanted cool maps great characters like bo3 but no we got some soulless rip off un original zombies and your clown ass is here saying it is good
I actually love this game, first game after mw3 that i can spent hours and hours on it without getting bored. The campaign is great imo…the multiplayer has the nostalgic feeling of bo 1 and 2 mixed…I think that this game will have a great value after 4-5 years od its release. Its ageing like a fine wine so far
Black ops biggest issue imo was they were never fully committed to their cool ideas. Shit like side missions and choices effecting the plot they are always too afraid to go full swing at it
Also fun fact. The only returning voice is Lev Kretchenko. Go figure. Honestly Hudsons changing voice is a running gag, maybe Terence Stamp can play him in Cold War 2.
@@robertdowneyjrbutblack7664 I don't know. Maybe. Its just funny the one character who totally should have died in Black Ops 1 is the one guy who kept coming back voice wise.
Considering what games came after this one, I can safely say that this game is much more enjoyable to play than the three games right after this one. I thought Multiplayer was quite solid and it’s at least enjoyable (Though the Scorestreak system is pretty ass), and I got a ton of hours on zombies because I liked it more than BO4 zombies.
i genuinely don't understand how Burger Town from the campaign wasn't converted into a multiplayer map. That map would've been the best at launch and one of the coolest maps we have ever had. What a shame.
Wait for it to be a purchasable DLC. EDIT: I assumed they were going to charge you for a DLC, that's how I remember they always doing that from WaW. Now I understand that they won't charge, and that's awesome.
Adler: "Trace back your memories to Vietnam, what did you see?." Bell: *Adler drinking mountain dew while deflecting a tank missile into a helicopter with a red door*
12:45 Adler actually changes his line every single time, the first play though he said that he got the scar from a fall, the second a tiger. Pretty cool attention to detail.
Another cool little detail is that Adler will spy on your and watch you from a distance if you go into the film room. If you look at him he will pretend to be busy or not looking at you. When you finish the game you will understand why that’s cool.
@@Redman_real Simple, but very effective and clever foreshadowing that you might not notice on your first playthrough, even if you *do* catch Adler watching you.
Years removed from Cold War's release, with all the dust settled and crashing and bugs fixed I think that it's safe to say that Cold War was our best COD since BO2. I mean it delivered on all fronts, great campaign, great mp and great zombies.
Acting bell male was one of the bravest men I have ever met, the wound he sustained ensuring our victory should have earned him a heroes welcome in America. But Adler had little need for heroes
Imo, Juggernog and Stamin-up being Crutch Perks in zombies literally does not matter when you can have EVERY Perk. The main problem, at least to me, is that a crutch perk meant you could have less variety, because you were ALWAYS gonna take that perk, so in reality with Juggernog, it felt like you had 250 health and only 3 perk slots. But, if there is no perk limit, It doesn't really matter, and I absolutely love it.
I hated Adler, I could smell the bullshit early in and after finding out he betrays you(Bell) I had great joy in the mission "Ashes to Ashes" where you nuke everything. Fun ending let me tell you.
@@smartgamingpotatopotatoz4217 You out here saying its ok to expect unfinished games, and for them to crash to the point of unplayability? What are you, some kind of corporate shill hired by -EA- Bad Company to promote your PR with the masses? Why did you think it was fine to release the game with a barely functioning multiplayer?
@@smartgamingpotatopotatoz4217 it's a 70 dollar game and is crasing once every day. We have every right to complain. We don't want unfinished games being delivered to us
@@shreyassharma8277 I bought mine for 60, sorry you had to buy yours for 70. And once again. It just came out 3 weeks ago, it can crash. This normally happens with most games that are new. And don't think I dont know what you mean either, I very much understand what you mean and I know yes, it crashes and its unfinished. But lately these past few years cod has been absolute dog okay. So if we can atleast wait for some updates then I'm sure the people will understand that they well, fixed a very big oopsie, so not sure what time it is for you but have a good... time?
@@smartgamingpotatopotatoz4217 I haven't got it so I can't judge, but if a a game releases with bugs- hey, that's okay, especially when it's a game with huge open world or if it was developed during corona...as long as the game itself is playable.But when the bugs are very severe and make the whole game or certain game mods unplayable, it's not okay to release it for 60$ in such state.
@@PUNKBUNS new engine...? no new engine for cold war sir. they're using the same old same old which is why it looks worse than mw did. this game is a complete PILE OF GARBAGE
Can we accept the fact that this mans a paid actor for thinking he can do any role in cold war ppl hate on mw for campers but after playing and experiencing both games cw is literally camp war there is no compelling reason for me to move from a good spot and not ads u cant rush u cant play tactical u just have to camp Cold War guns aren’t even accurate to the time like fr
“Elevator conversation always gets awkward” “You’re right about that Adler” *Remember, no Russian* As a person who played modern warfare 2 remastered I felt this on an emotional level
had a chance to say As a person who played MW2 back in 09 and still do.......but you ruined it......however this is where I come in As a person who played MW2 back in 09 and keeps playing it nowadays I can say that everytime No Russian came up I FUCKING SHOT THEM lmfao although once I did not to see if i would get a reward like a calling card etc etc
@@D44RK_Iced_Yogs agreed, not going to lie the bugs get me annoyed sometimes but I still have fun playing some bfv. Even at it's worst when they messed with ttk for holiday blueberries I still had more fun than a COD game
Honestly it was very difficult choosing between Park and Lazar. Both were great characters, and you felt they were genuine in their attitudes towards Bell, which could all have been a facade considering the twist, but they felt like teammates and friends. I chose Park first just because she was a bit flirty at a certain point lol, but then I went back and saved Lazar and both made you feel like you did the right thing, but that it wasn't enough, could have saved both, Love characters like this. shame they put Lazar in Warzone right before it's lifecycle came to an end and was replace by 2. Can't believe you couldn't transfer your skins and characters over to 2.
Another Easter egg from “echos of a Cold War” if mason inspects a body with crossbow bolts in him mason would say crossbow bolts? If you recall you had a crossbow for that mission
Ngl... i don't normally watch youtube videos this long but it so super well done. very fair on the pros and cons.. by far the BEST cod review ive seen. keep up this great work brother, merry christmas
I am to high right now for this part right 7:13. I don't know why audio you're playing in the background, "Jeesus! Jezuz! Oh Man! Oh JESUS!" man that had me rolling
I was nominated for 2 Academy Awards for that intro. Also, I would've titled it 'Awesome & Bad' but when a game crashes on you 25+ times it can only be bad lol. Maybe that's just me.

Hopefully the sequel does things better.
The most memorable line in Black Ops:Cold War:"I'm a goddamn onion,Mason."

Onions have LAAAAAAYERSSS

@@burningchaos1411 damn really? I played it so much on the older ones imo it was one of the best modes.
That one dev could've spent his time making 1 fun thing instead xD
This still stacks up as one of my favorite cods in the series. The campaign had an amazing story with cool new mechanics and the return of branching storylines,zombies was one of the best iterations I've seen,and although a bit devisive with a fucked sbmm system,the multi-player was fun(at times) too.
Time for you to go back and play some of the older games I think
@@user-rc6nb1iq8b . The older ones are above this one by a large margin. This one was underwhelming and it all felt rushed. I was in the minority that didn't care to see Hudson, Woods, or Mason here. I would have preferred to have played as a Russian soldier working for the USSR and to have played as Bell the other parts of the game. The new characters seemed interesting and yet we barely had any time to get to know them. I thought that Simms would get more screen time, especially since he was a Vietnam Special Ops soldier, but nope. He seemed interesting as did Parks.
@@Deadsea_1993 Plus the cracking codes and detective work stuff I feel was pretty underused, only two sidequests in the entirety of the campaign. Good campaign but not as impactful as some of the other BO games.

The campaign was made entirely by Raven's Software , and that really shows how good that team is, i hope Activision gives them more games next, or more CoD campaigns.
if they took up sledgehammer's place within the 3 year dev cycle id be cool with that tbh. theyd probably be even better lmao. id definitely love to see some of their ips like heretic/hexen or soldier of fortune make a comeback even if it is unlikely considering activision. either way i wanna see more personal projects from them

Considering what games came after this one, I can safely say that this game is much more enjoyable to play than the three games right after this one. I thought Multiplayer was quite solid and it’s at least enjoyable (Though the Scorestreak system is pretty ass), and I got a ton of hours on zombies because I liked it more than BO4 zombies.
i genuinely don't understand how Burger Town from the campaign wasn't converted into a multiplayer map. That map would've been the best at launch and one of the coolest maps we have ever had. What a shame.
Wait for it to be a purchasable DLC.
EDIT:
I assumed they were going to charge you for a DLC, that's how I remember they always doing that from WaW.
Now I understand that they won't charge, and that's awesome.

Imo, Juggernog and Stamin-up being Crutch Perks in zombies literally does not matter when you can have EVERY Perk. The main problem, at least to me, is that a crutch perk meant you could have less variety, because you were ALWAYS gonna take that perk, so in reality with Juggernog, it felt like you had 250 health and only 3 perk slots. But, if there is no perk limit, It doesn't really matter, and I absolutely love it.

Honestly it was very difficult choosing between Park and Lazar. Both were great characters, and you felt they were genuine in their attitudes towards Bell, which could all have been a facade considering the twist, but they felt like teammates and friends.
