The latest game returned to the familiar setting of World War 2, which could have signaled a change in the philosophy regarding multiplayer, especially with all the stories to tell. With the potential to be a brisk jaunt like the last game or a full-fledged campaign like the earlier titles, it felt important to update this list the instant the campaign was completed and timed.
Surprisingly, despite a global narrative, this Call of Duty game is the shortest at just over four hours. The campaign is memorable and takes the player all over the world in rich and detailed environments, so the short time is not reflective of the massive hard drive space that it takes up.
There are plenty of secrets and spooky side quests lurking in Black Ops Cold War , but even completionists have reported the game can be fully concluded in 8. Bad news for anybody hoping that the franchise was going to be putting more focus on the single-player aspects of the game. The two shortest games are the most recent two games. The good news, however, is that both campaigns are pleasant experiences. While the hotly anticipated Call of Duty: Vanguard is an hour or two longer than the one preceding it, there is a notable lack of completionist content.
Outside of a few achievements, there aren't any big secrets lurking around. Once the campaign is done, there's not much reason to dig any deeper. Modern Warfare 's campaign was highly acclaimed upon release, which just goes to show that length doesn't always correlate to quality. Players will debate about whether the guns used in the game were good or not , but the story gets overall positive feedback. The main story of Modern Warfare takes just six hours to complete, with some people even rushing through it in five.
The other side of the spectrum is Ghosts. Ghosts is often regarded as the weakest Call of Duty entry, and its short and subpar campaign certainly didn't do it any favors. Most people will also complete Ghosts within just six hours, and some people have reported completing it in four.
Yes, the whole thing can be completed in one particularly lazy afternoon. Modern Warfare 3 served as the brilliant culmination of the original Modern Warfare series, but it was a painfully brief culmination.
This choice determines what they see and how the story plays out. If players get the good ending, they'll play a mission called The Final Countdown, and the mission for the bad ending is called Ashes to Ashes. To beat Black Ops Cold War 's campaign in itself, the player must complete all 15 missions the 14 plus the ending mission. Players can also choose to complete Black Ops Cold War 's side missions, of which there are two. In these side missions, players will be able to experience the missions through Alex Mason, an iconic Black Ops character.
If the player decides to do these two missions as well, there will be a total of 17 missions for them to play through. Raven Software's Dan Vondrak told GameSpot in a recent interview that fans can expect Cold War's campaign to be in line with games that came before it.
For reference, we estimated last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare took about 5 hours to beat. As usual, your mileage may vary. If you're checking every nook and cranny, and specifically if you're playing in a more stealth manner, the total runtime could be longer.
So the game will absolutely be right on par with the last few previous campaigns in Call of Duty in terms of length of time. Get the latest gaming news, reviews, and deals sent to your inbox, FREE! The game will also launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X when those consoles arrive sometime later this year, but it won't be free in the standard edition. While Activision is focusing on discussing the single-play campaign for now, Cold War will also bring back Treyarch's fan-favorite Zombies mode , as well as standard multiplayer.
The game will also integrate with the free-to-play Warzone, instead of Blackout 2. The Beta features a unique progression consisting of 40 levels which unlock weapons, equipment, perks, wildcards and scorestreaks.
The selection of maps is expanded by the new map Cartel. The Beta also includes Frank Woods as an available operator and removes Vargas. Zombies mode returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War , featuring a brand new sequel-story to the previous Aether story known as the Dark Aether story starting with the map Die Maschine , which takes place in an abandoned Nazi facility in Poland.
For the first time in Treyarch Zombies, the player is able to choose from a selection of various operators including Russel Adler , Lawrence Sims , and Frank Woods , as well as a weapon rarity system, loadouts, and the ability to end the game by calling in an exfil and surviving an extremely difficult wave of enemies.
Black Ops Cold War also features the return of original Perk-a-Colas such as Juggernog , Speed Cola and Deadshot Daiquiri with updated machines to fit the 's aesthetic including replacing bottles with soda cans with a brand-new Perk called Elemental Pop , and puts the player as part of a CIA known as Requiem , an anomalous task-force led by Commanding Officer Grigori Weaver , returning from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops campaign.
Treyarch then released the new Outbreak game mode on February 25th along with the release of Season Two. With the launch of Season One , integration between the two games began, with all weapons, operators, and cosmetics from Black Ops Cold War being added to Warzone alongside the brand new, Black Ops Cold War themed map - Rebirth Island , a new vehicle the Attack Helicopter , and a new Gulag for Verdansk based off of Nuketown.
Coinciding with the launch of Rebirth Island, a seasonal event themed around the map launched as well. During Season Two , the lost ship known as the Vodianoy arrived in Verdansk, which in turn carried Nazi Zombies onboard. To coincide with this as well as the release of the Outbreak mode in Zombies , The Outbreak Event launched.
Throughout the season, Zombies began to spread across the map into key points of interest, eventually culminating in The Destruction of Verdansk event which saw Verdansk become entirely overrun by the undead threat and destroyed via nuclear explosion.
Directly after The Destruction of Verdansk in Season Three , Verdansk was rethemed to aesthetically match Black Ops Cold War in Verdansk '84 - adding brand new points of interests and redesigned versions of previously existing locations, as well as the Hunt for Adler seasonal event. On August 7th, , a short distorted clip appeared during matches inside the Verdansk map from Call of Duty: Warzone within Modern Warfare.
On August 10th, , boxes sent by Activision to several influencers and media outlets were opened. The boxes contained a projector and several slides which led to the discovery of an ARG and a website called Pawn Takes Pawn. The mode, themed around the Black Ops series, tasked the players to complete several contracts.
The reveal trailer of the game was shown at the end of the mode. In addition, pre-ordering any version of the game will give the player instant access to the early open beta. Call of Duty Wiki Explore. Cold War. Weapons in Explore Wikis Community Central.
