Under the direction of CIA Clandestine Special Office Russell Adler, who has been tracking Perseus for much of his career, this ragtag team of agents form a family well suited to tackle one of the most dangerous men in the world.ĭon’t let the 19 timeline fool you, the game does not feature time travel. This ratpack features fairly well fleshed out characters – ranging from intelligence experts to an MI6 operative – as they hunt down a terrorist named Perseus who is preparing to unleash a barrage of nuclear weapons on the world while framing the US for the destruction. Unlike many of Call of Duty’s recent entries, Black Ops Cold War takes place entirely in the past and I was grateful to return to regular guns, helicopters, and tools rather than the futuristic warfare items which have dominated the past few entries.īell is teamed up with a highly trained pack of specialized agents assembled by President Reagan. Players take on the roll of an individual code named Bell, whom you get to name and slightly customize, along with a few other spec ops characters as you tackle missions from both 19. Further imagine my surprise when I discovered that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has one of the best single player campaigns to grace the Call of Duty series in years. So, imagine my surprise when I learned that the latest Black Ops entry was bringing back the single player campaign. Look, I get it – it costs a lot to create a single player campaign, especially when you know that nearly all your profit stems from your multiplayer. And yes, I was disappointed when Black Ops 4 decided to forgo a single player campaign to focus on the multiplayer. Yes, I have tried the multiplayer and have enjoyed it at times. I’m one of those outliers who play the series for their single player campaigns and then moves on. While yes, I am a fan and have followed the series since Call of Duty 2 released back on the Xbox 360, I’ve never been a huge fan of online multiplayer, which – at this point –is Call of Duty’s bread and butter. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the best person to review Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
