CoD fans can expect: A new game from Activision’s Black Ops series will be released on Friday. Raven Software developers Treyarch, Sledgehammer Games, and other studios had already announced the game in August 2020.

The new CoD follows in the great footsteps of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” released in August 2019. In addition to the campaign and the well-known multiplayer also introduced a battle royale (warzone) mode. How to proceed and what to expect in the new “Black Ops” can be found here:

Countryside

Die Story des neuen “Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War” joins directly with those of “Black Ops 1”. It is said that it offers about five hours of gameplay and during this game Cold War in the 1980s. As for the events, the story should be close to the historical circumstances.

Players can now copy their characters shape your desires. Ethnicity, gender, and even military background can be chosen. Especially the different workouts direct influence on the game. For example, some characters aim faster because they are a little paranoid.

Depending on the characters you choose and the decisions you make during the campaign, you will shown a different ending. Activision has already revealed that much. Otherwise we like to be surprised by the details.

The multiplayer

The multiplayer mode is one of the great strengths of any CoD. In the new edition of “Black Ops Cold War” the well-known return Team deathmatch, domination and more game modes. These are played in different sizes such as four against four, six against six or even twelve against twelve.

The novelty is the Fireteam game mode. Ten teams of four compete here. The focus is on various tasks, for example, dirty bombs need to be defused on larger maps.

The class system is very similar to “Modern Warfare”. But there are differences: Field updates are now integrated into classes, and each class has its own rotation. For example, you can both up to eight accessories for the primary weapon be applied or get more benefits.

One of the biggest changes in multiplayer is die Scorestreaks. For a long time you have had to kill opponents in CoD multiplayer and stay alive yourself to get killstreaks as an air strike. Now the developers are changing: now even the points can be exceeded carry out tasks and these strips are kept even after your death.

This change rewards players who fulfill objectives more than those who are simply ready to kill. However, various streamers are skeptical of this change. It should be a welcome change for casual gamers.

Thanks Cross-play Players can continue to play war together across all platforms. This also applies to the new generations. PS4 and PS5 players can then use the same lobbies.

Warzone

What’s inside The Battle Royale mode will change everything is still unclear. Many players are hoping for a new map. But it could be that Verdansk will continue to be shot for the win. However, the map could change little by little, as it did last season.

Some cosmetic weapons and accessories that players have already earned in Modern Warfare, should also be available in the new Warzone and Black Ops. To what extent this applies is not yet clear.

The “Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War” weapons will be available to all Warzone players from Friday, even if they don’t own the new game.

Seasons and Battle Pass

Activision has now confirmed that as in “Modern Warfare” also in “Cold War” new multiplayer maps and weapons will be made available for free over the seasons. The first season starts on December 10th.

The Battle Pass system will also remain. Each new season brings a new battle step. It has not been confirmed whether there will be any changes in scope or details.

Zombies

Fans of the zombie game mode had to worry. The history of the zombies is gone in the latest game “Black Ops 4” seemingly at the end. However, it is already known that the thread will be taken up again in the “Cold War”.

A previously announced innovation will be that players will be everywhere can be saved from a helicopter on the map (exfill). To do this, they must defend their position against more and more zombies. Finally, there are additional rewards.

Activision continues to lead “Zombies Onslaught” a new mode. However, this will only be available to Playstation players until November 2021. Here you must make your way through multiplayer maps filled with paired zombies. (Leo)
