Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Xbox ONE (Europe) Standart Edition
The game is set during the early 80s, (which falls somewhere in between Black Ops and Black Ops II if you like to keep track of the timeline of the series). You play the character of Bell, recruited into an international taskforce whose mission is the hunt for Perseus. Your version of Bell can be customised, choosing the agency you are recruited from, your skin colour, nationality, gender and a series of character traits. You’re recruited by CIA agent, Russell Adler. You join the team as the US begins to look for an alleged spy, code-named ‘Perseus’ who was based on a real spy who tried to infiltrate the Manhattan Project (which was in place to produce a functional atomic weapon). Perseus’s objective is to infiltrate the US, subvert the Manhattan Project’s aims (amongst other activity) and thus tilt superpower supremacy towards the USSR. There are eight large and immersive maps to play through. There are plenty of historical touches and nods to the 80s, including the distinctive and eccentric fashions, a number of real life speeches from Ronald Reagan, and nostalgic features like massively weighty televisions as well as smoking indoors being permitted. While the background to the underlying story is based on historical events, you can literally shape history in this game. There are two endings, meaning that you have an important decision to make.
Ways to Play
Single player is basically story mode, in which you immerse yourself in the storyline and work through your orders as the narrative plays out. In many cases, you have a lot of latitude in how to achieve your aims, so you can work the as a shooter or you can use stealth to achieve your ends – more satisfying and sometimes the best way to get your achievement. In multiplayer mode there are some new game modes: namely 6v6 and 12v12 modes. One of the latter is called Combined Arms and has two versions: Domination where you fight for control of five specific points on the map and Assault, where you fight for control of just one point, making the game quicker and fiercer as everyone goes all out to get the goal. There is also Fireteam mode which can support 40 players divided into ten teams of four people each. In Fireteam Dirty-bomb you all battle to gather uranium, and then set off the bombs in a beautiful Alpine mountain setting. These join old favourites like Team Deathmatch, Free-for-All, Domination, Search and Destroy, and VIP Escort where you and your team bodyguard one of your number until they can safely evacuate. There are new and improved map dynamics and elements and the game also introduces a seasonal content system, so keep checking back to see what is new, even after you have completed the game.Recommended for you
