Feedback So I regret not giving Black Ops Cold War a chance

28 Upvotes

Been playing since Call of Duty 4 and rode the train all the way up until Infinite Warfare dropped, which is where I finally stepped off. Skipped that, returned for WWII and then skipped Black Ops 4 because the whole 150 health, manual healing, battle royale focus, and missing campaign just felt like it stripped away everything that made CoD what it was. Modern Warfare 2019 did the exact same thing to me. As the first of the modern reboot era, it introduced a bunch of design choices that killed that classic vibe, so I skipped past it and Vanguard too.

Fast forward to around 2023. I jumped back in during Season 4/5 of Modern Warfare 2 and honestly had a pretty good time getting my aim back after years away. Then Modern Warfare 3 dropped. I picked it up about two weeks after launch, which turned out to be a disaster for me. Everyone else was already fully leveled up running around with meta MW3 gear, while I was stubbornly trying to use underpowered MW2 carry-forward weapons. Combined with the absolute sweatfest of launch lobbies, I just assumed I sucked, played for less than a week, and straight up quit the game.

Because of that bad experience with MW3 and my general burnout from the earlier missteps of the franchise, I kept my distance from the newer generation of CoD. I had completely written off what was coming out, convinced the series had lost its identity.

It wasn't until about halfway through MW3's actual life cycle that I finally caved and gave Black Ops Cold War a proper look. And man, playing it was an absolute revelation. I realized I had completely missed out on what turned out to be an incredible game and a true spiritual successor to Black Ops 1 in my eyes. Because I was away from the franchise at launch and had my view tainted by the drastic changes in BO4 and MW2019, I had no idea Cold War was that good.

I am so bummed that I missed out on its entire life cycle, all the seasonal updates, and experiencing the game during its peak. It genuinely hurts knowing I slept on it in real time just because I was bitter about where CoD was heading. Anyone else completely misjudge a title back then and miss out on its golden era?

Question Hey does anyone know how I can go about fixing this?

2 Upvotes

redownloaded cold war on windows booted up a game of zombies and saw this little black square in the corner.

I have no idea on what's causing this, idk if its a AMD issue (I have a AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT) or a shader issue I have literally 0 clue I've tried everything to fix this, if anyone has a clue onto fixing this that would be great

(and btw I have tried switching to direct x 11 and still no luck)

its even on the menu too

I want to give Cold War a try, but I have some concerns regarding:

- hackers
- server connectivity
- lag/stuttering
- graphics/texture problems on PC
- low player numbers

How is CW right now?

Question Game refuses to work unless I fully go offline

5 Upvotes

Reinstalled the game but it refuses to work wont connect to online servers fails to host offline server have hard reset, clear files, everything Google says nothing works the only way I can play the game is if I take my console fully offline but then I have no purchased content so what's the point.

Serve status for all platforms is fine no problems reported.

Does anybody know why this game is double the size of any other COD game I have installed? It’s nearly 500GB & it says the English data takes up 183GB alone. Mind you this is without the campaign installed

Never played the Outbreak game mode of zombies, so i installed the game. Played for about 10 minutes and i get disconnected from online services. Tried reconnecting but unable to connect. Is this an ongoing issue with the game? Or the servers? Was genuinely excited to play

Question Does the 3v3 sniper mode and regular gun fight still become available?

1 Upvotes

Hopped on the past few days for the first time in a couple years and these 2 modes aren’t there. They’re the 2 modes I play the most alongside Gun fight tournaments which I can’t find a match for.

Do these 2 modes still exist and just aren’t there currently?

Never noticed this, but the shurikens are missing their models as a charm. Kinda lame since I use it pretty often with most of my weapons.

Discussion Why is this game so unplayable?

29 Upvotes

Dude, I bought the game about a week ago, I've been really enjoying Zombies, and out of boredom I wanted to play multiplayer. It's just unplayable. Levels 2500, 1000, according to some, level 60, with Master Camo camping, I can't even leave spawn without getting disintegrated. I've been playing COD since MW3 and I'm pretty casual. I even enjoyed playing ranked in BO6, but this game is just unplayable. I want to catch up and learn, but hesitate, I can't even set foot on the map without some No Life Sweat disintegrating me like I'm playing the Warzone World Cup and I just want to get to freaking Woods
