If you’ve played Modern Warfare or the previous Call of Duty series, you’d also be familiar with the multiplayer aspect of the game. I have to admit that the star of the show is definitely the multiplayer. I’ve just got my RTX 3080 and opted to download the 50GB high resolution pack and it is so worth the drive space. Ray Tracing definitely makes the game more life-like and it’s amazing how difference this makes with the vibe of the game and graphics quality overall. As soon as you start your first mission in a bar, you’ll be greeted with this visual eye candy and high amount of details.Īnd if you have the NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphic cards, you will be greeted with more eye candies like the Ray Tracing, NVIDIA DLSS, and NVIDIA Reflex.

Textures are sharp, each room and area is full with details (lush jungle with fallen leaves on the ground, etc). The graphics are top notch here in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. It adds different kinds of tensions as if I’m playing a horror game and the murderer is trying to find me in the house as I sneak between rooms and hide inside a wardrobe.Īnd flashbacks into the past let the game developers (Treyarch and Raven Software) take you into a different war setting like the Vietnam War. There is also a mission where you need to sneak into someone’s house without getting caught by the family. This is a truly unique, different experience compared to the previous Call of Duty series. These have effects on some cutscenes, dialogues, and there’s even a plot twist at the end with multiple endings that I’m not going to spoil here.

However, there are fresh new ideas this time around.įor example, you are given a choice to select your missions through a mission briefing board (with optional bonus missions) and sometimes, a decision whether you kill or capture the bad guys or even who to save. It’s definitely a unique era to hop into compared to what Call of Duty used to offer with World War II scenarios or futuristic settings.Īnd sure, you’ll encounter the same elements exist in the Call of Duty series as I mentioned in the introduction. The campaign takes you to the cold war era between the United States and the Soviet Union.
