Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris the seventeenth major installment of the popular first-person shooter series developed by Activision Blizzard since 2003. The game was developed by Treyarch (a studio owned by the publisher) which has been in charge of Black Ops. subseries since its inception.
The plot of Call of Duty Cold War is a separate story, which does not require knowing the previous installments of the series to understand the plot. However, the game features characters familiar to fans of the series, such as Mason, Woods and Hudson, and they are joined by a previously unknown CIA agent, Russel Adler.
As the title suggests, the game is set during the Cold War and we will have to thwart the plans of an enigmatic KGB agent, known by the code name Perseus. Interestingly, the game has several endings; Which one we see depends on the decisions we make during the final stages.
In Black Ops Cold War we observe the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). Curiously, for the first time in the series we create our own character: the hero we will play. We do not have the possibility to decide the appearance, but we can choose the gender, the course of the previous service and advantages that facilitate the game.
The single-player mode consists of missions that will take us to various corners of the world, such as a gigantic Soviet training facility, as well as cities like Moscow and Berlin.
The tasks we face are varied: although there are some that require us to participate in bloody and spectacular firefights, we often have to work silently, hiding behind enemy lines. What's interesting is that from time to time the developers also let us decide how to solve the problems that come our way. Furthermore, at certain moments we can make decisions that affect the subsequent course of the plot and its conclusion.
