First of all, I’m the odd guy who plays CoDs almost for their campaigns only. I really enjoy the blockbuster movie like experiences they provide, so this is just about that, I haven’t touched multiplayer.
I think I never waited this much to play a CoD. It is because when it was announced and released in 2015 all talk was about multiplayer and that the campaign sucked because it focused on coop and it’s not a real CoD in this sense. I was also not a fan of Black Ops II so I just skipped this instalment as I was under the impression that it was not for me.
Then I think in 2017 Sony offered it in PS Plus so I jumped in and played a couple of missions but I was not too impressed, though I didn’t find it bad at all. However, I lost my save for some reason (at least it seemed that way at the time, for some reason it had my progress now, but I restarted the campaign from the beginning anyway), and I didn’t want to restart it so I just left it alone for later.
Now that Cold War released, I wanted to finish this first and I just did, and I’m really impressed by it. What I thought was entirely wrong. This is definitely a real CoD campaign with arguably the best story (batshit crazy in a good way) in any of the instalments. It is not for everyone I guess, but if you have an open mind you will enjoy it. It’s like fate wanted me to play it now, since we are so close to this being reality (no, really, look up who Klaus Schwab is, and what he and his globalist friends plan for the future...): AI, chips in humans, control through them etc.
This was Treyarch’s take on cyberpunk and I think they nailed it.
The world design is awesome, the developers enjoyed making this game and it shows. The levels are meticously designed and ooze atmosphere. What really surprised me was how good it holds up graphically even nowadays. Strange because at the time I felt it was a step back after Advanced Warfare, but that’s not true at all.
Gameplay-wise there were some frustrating segments, one hit killed by unknown forces, enemies teleporting behind me, frustrating checkpoint locations. Fighting robots is not that enjoyable (though I don’t know if any game ever managed to make it enjoyable), and I don’t like the loadout system because it restricts your weapon usage during missions. But these are all the negatives I had. It’s the same CoD like the others, if you like them, you will like this too.
If you have a PS5 and haven’t played it yet now is a good time I guess since it is offered “free” in the PS Plus collection. Looking forward to play Cold War as well, but first I will replay Infinite and Modern Warfare.
