There is even a bit of character creation at the beginning, allowing you to choose your background and psychological profile, elements of which are cleverly wound into the story. Most of the game plays out in the early 1980s. It's a very different experience from last year's Modern Warfare, with much more of a focus on stealth, small-scale missions and more personal stakes. The Black Ops developers have always done a good job of differentiating their games from the other entries in the series, and the gameplay in Cold War is no exception. A love for Cold War spy novels would, however, not be misplaced. The story will be more meaningful to people who played the first Black Ops (which is now, unbelievably, 10 years old) but no prior knowledge is necessary.
The Bay-esque explosive set pieces are here aplenty, and you’ll hear no complaints from this gamer.īut while people rarely play a CoD game for the story, the tale told here is more engaging than you'd expect, and more than interesting enough to keep your attention for the duration of the admittedly short campaign.
If you're expecting a meditation on the horrors of war you have, of course, come to the wrong place – Call of Duty has always been more Michael Bay than Stanley Kubrick. Most of the game plays out in the early 1980s, although there are sections set further in the past, most impressive of which is probably a flashback to the Vietnam War.
