If you know <a href=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/2020\/08\/25\/sitrep-call-of-duty-in-2020\/\">me and my work<\/a>, you\u2019re well aware that I\u2019m a bit of a simp when it comes to <em>Call of Duty<\/em>. I play every campaign every year, dabble in its multiplayer &#8211; or get lost for quite a while &#8211; and still find some way to sing its praises year in and year out, regardless of the public outcry. In terms of Activision, I\u2019m not a huge fan, but the <em>COD <\/em>developers themselves seem to have a never-ending vision for the franchise, allowing it to stay fresh with each new installment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, it\u2019s up to Treyarch with <em>Black Ops Cold War<\/em> to bring some freshness to this tried-and-true series. While more recent <em>Black Ops <\/em>installments have strayed from the series&#8217; roots, this direct sequel to the first game promises to deliver something special to those fans who have fallen off the bandwagon. Set in the early 1980\u2019s under the Reagan administration, fan favorite characters Frank Woods, Alex Mason, and Jason Hudson are tasked with tracking down a Soviet agent &#8211; codename Perseus &#8211; and putting an end to his anarchist schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"17202\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=17202\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw.jpg?fit=1200%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cw\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw.jpg?resize=360%2C240&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Credit: Treyarch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of story, I am all here for it. <em>Cold War<\/em> aims to bring players on a mind-bending trip, similar to the original <em>Black Ops<\/em>, with environments spanning the entire globe, and even flashbacks to Vietnam. I personally love how we\u2019re going back to see exactly what happened after <em>Black Ops<\/em>. It almost felt like that original game left us on a cliffhanger, and then the time jump in <em>Black Ops 2 <\/em>ruined any chances of ever tying up loose ends. Fortunately, <em>Cold War<\/em> allows us to return to that setting, and as a brand new character, no less. Reports say that the protagonist\u2019s gender and name can be altered, as well as their military background and \u201cpsychological profile,\u201d which seems to essentially add perks to your character like enhanced agility or better accuracy. It\u2019s a unique change to the <em>Call of Duty<\/em> formula, and coupled with optional missions, dialogue choices, and multiple endings, this barely feels like a <em>COD <\/em>game on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When all is said and done, however, this <em>is <\/em>a <em>Call of Duty<\/em> game, and that means some things can never change. Expect <em>Cold War<\/em> to include a battle pass system, as well as a new zombies mode, and \u201cshared post-launch content\u201d with <em>Warzone<\/em>. While they didn\u2019t go into much detail on what the latter means, it seems there will be some <em>Black Ops<\/em> references in <em>Warzone<\/em>, including Woods as a playable operative. In fact, preordering the game unlocks Woods for you right now, and it also grants you early access to the open beta later this year. I should also mention that <em>Warzone <\/em>content from <em>Modern Warfare<\/em> will also carry over to this updated iteration, which is good for those people who really enjoy <em>Warzone <\/em>&#8211; I am not one of those people, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" data-attachment-id=\"17203\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=17203\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw2.jpg?fit=960%2C540&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"960,540\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cw2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw2.jpg?fit=960%2C540&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw2.jpg?resize=960%2C540&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw2.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw2.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cw2.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption>Credit: Treyarch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While a <em>Black Ops<\/em> sequel-not-prequel with updated character models, next-gen lighting effects, and multiplayer the likes of which we\u2019ve never seen before (there\u2019s a desert map!) sounds like a dream, I can\u2019t just leave without mentioning the current pricing controversy. <em>Black Ops Cold War<\/em> will be $59.99 for current generation consoles, whether physical or digital. If you want to play the game on either the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X later this \u201choliday,\u201d you\u2019ll have to pay the $10 upcharge for a $69.99 cross-gen version. The Ultimate Edition is also available for $89.99, which includes the cross-gen game and some bonus DLC. Naturally, the internet has exploded in disappointment over this next generation fee, however I\u2019ve been saying for a while now &#8211; especially on the <a href=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/category\/podcast\/\">Week in News podcast<\/a> &#8211; that I don\u2019t mind paying extra to carry my content over to an upgraded version of a game. It helps developers, it\u2019s a reasonable price, and it just seems like an okay practice to me. I do feel paying $70 for <em>every <\/em>game is ridiculous, though, and should not be adopted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of this pricing nonsense, I cannot wait to see <em>Black Ops Cold War<\/em> up close. This feels like the kind of game I\u2019ve been waiting for since I got my Xbox 360 on <em>Black Ops<\/em>\u2019s launch night. I think I\u2019ll be getting the cross-gen version on Xbox One first, seeing as I still haven\u2019t locked in which new console I\u2019ll be purchasing at launch. Thankfully, progression carries over amongst all copies, and cross play will be available alongside \u201ccross-gen play,\u201d which lets console owners old and new play alongside each other. <em>Black Ops Cold War<\/em> is really aiming to bring the community together, and I can\u2019t wait for it. We won\u2019t have to wait much longer, either. The multiplayer reveal is coming on September 9, and <em>Black Ops Cold War<\/em> will release on November 13, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s hoping Reagan is Viktor Reznov in disguise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to 2020&#8217;s Call of Duty installment, you&#8217;re about to &#8220;know your history&#8221;
