During the long wait before\u00a0Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War<\/em><\/strong> was finally announced,\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em> and\u00a0Warzone<\/em> was still relishing in its continued success. With an unprecedented silence from Activision throughout the majority of this year,\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em> and\u00a0Warzone<\/em> has received a ton of support from fans, more so than any previous\u00a0Call of Duty<\/em> release in the subsequent year. So to many fans’ surprise,\u00a0when\u00a0Black Ops Cold War<\/em> was finally unveiled, the similarities between it and\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em> were plentiful.<\/p>\n

Treyarch’s\u00a0Call of Duty<\/em>\u00a0seems to have learned and iterated on a lot of what\u00a02019’s\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em> pioneered. As\u00a0Call of Duty<\/em> moves on to an interconnected development platform, it’s clear that\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em>‘s innovations have helped inspire\u00a0Black Ops Cold War<\/em><\/a>‘s concepts and mechanics in numerous ways. Whether it’s the return of singleplayer from its lack thereof in\u00a0Black Ops 4<\/em>, or the more traditional multiplayer customization instead of the “Pick 10” systems from before,\u00a0it’s clear\u00a0Black Ops Cold War<\/em> borrows a lot from\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em>.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0the first\u00a0Black Ops<\/em> game was praised for its highly innovative story, over subsequent entries, it was clear that the\u00a0overarching\u00a0narrative had begun to fade.\u00a0Call of Duty: Black Ops<\/em> brought the game to a never-before-seen Cold War setting for the franchise, whilst also managing to tell a thrilling and unusual story throughout its campaign. Sure, it wasn’t exactly the most riveting or revolutionary storytelling in a video game period, but it was certainly a far cry from previous\u00a0Call of Duty<\/em> campaigns<\/a>, which largely played out with the emotional weight of a\u00a0Fast and Furious<\/em> film.<\/p>\n

Now, after quite a few sequels and even\u00a0Black Ops 4<\/em> eschewing a singleplayer story entirely, it seems\u00a0Black Ops Cold War<\/em> is returning to roots and iterating off the original\u00a0Black Ops<\/em> story. From what’s been revealed so far, it seems\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em>‘s approach to a more grounded military story is being mixed with the storytelling prowess of Treyarch. Where\u00a0the original\u00a0Black Ops<\/em> was fueled by Cold War brainwashing conspiracy theories,\u00a0Black Ops Cold War<\/em> is taking a more realistic story approach and basing the game around the real-life Perseus Cold War myth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

In terms of systems,\u00a0Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War<\/em> is borrowing a surprising amount from\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em>‘s offering. For one thing, the previous “Pick 10” Create-A-Class variant seen in several previous\u00a0Black Ops<\/em> games has been replaced with the typical class customization seen in\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em><\/a>, likely to keep the experience in line with\u00a0Warzone<\/em> as well.\u00a0In an effort to differentiate the two,\u00a0Wildcards return as an added customization for each class.\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em>‘s Gunsmith weapon customization is also returning, which frankly isn’t a surprise considering how well received the original system was.<\/p>\n

Mechanically, the game also resembles\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em> quite a bit, though there are some minor defining differences that makes\u00a0Black Ops Cold War<\/em>‘s multiplayer unique. Already there’s a pretty huge change with visible\u00a0health meters<\/a> on both opponents and players’ selves, something other shooters have implemented before but never in\u00a0Call of Duty<\/em>. Additional sprinting is taken out in favor of one continuous sprint speed, simplifying the seemingly unnecessary two sprint speeds. That being said, a lot of what made\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em>‘s multiplayer enjoyable and satisfying to play is largely returning in\u00a0Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War<\/em>, for good reason.<\/p>\n

In a lot of ways this is perfect for\u00a0Black Ops Cold War<\/em>, and to some extent future\u00a0Call of Duty<\/em> games as well. Considering\u00a0Warzone<\/em> is meant to persist between future\u00a0Call of Duty<\/em> games<\/a> (for now), this is the perfect way to justify annual releases each year. It used to be every year\u00a0Call of Duty<\/em> fans would need time to adjust to the major differences in mechanics, weapon balance, and various other factors between games. Now, between\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em> and\u00a0Black Ops Cold War<\/em>, the differences aren’t vastly different to the point where the carryover\/readjustment period won’t be as long.<\/p>\n

Plus, a lot of the changes that do make\u00a0Black Ops Cold War<\/em> different from\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em> are largely beneficial. There are some exceptions, like the killstreak to scorestreak controversy<\/a> that a lot of players didn’t agree with. However, things like one unified sprint, the familiar and streamlined Create-A-Class system alongside Wildcards, these changes are all in service to making a better\u00a0Call of Duty<\/em> multiplayer experience.\u00a0Black Ops Cold War<\/em>‘s singleplayer mode is taking on the similar mature tones that\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em> did and was praised for. Overall,\u00a0Black Ops Cold War<\/em> should be a worthy successor to\u00a0Modern Warfare<\/em> this holiday.<\/p>\n

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War<\/em><\/strong> releases on November 13, 2020, for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X\/S.<\/p>\n
