Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War for Xbox is the 6th Black Ops game and the 17th in the overall Call of Duty series. By now, you know what you’re getting with CoD games, and the fabulous graphics, well-plotted locations, realistic and engaging character interactions that spell out the compelling storyline will need no real introduction! If you’re a fan you will very satisfied, whereas if you’re a newbie, you have a treat in store. Plus, the large back catalogue to explore!
About the Game
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.
The Zombies are Back
Zombies are back in co-op mode, this time bearing cold war vintage weapons while they try and get to you and your three co-op buddies. In this game, Zombies is set in an old and abandoned Nazi research science base in Poland.
You can play Endless mode which just gets harder and harder, or you can opt for the limited 20-round mode which might be preferrable to those who like a decisive win point. In all modes of Zombie play, keep an eye out for mystery boxes which are always worth grabbing. They could have anything in them from something amusing but useless to life-savingly valuable!
The ‘Onslaught’ game places you and just one buddy in a safe zone (clearly marked, and subject to random changes, leaving you running like heck to regain its safety at random moments in the game) while waves of zombies come at you. The occasional elite enemies that spawn can make your player’s life exciting and sometimes considerably shorter!
Cross Play allows you to challenge buddies using different consoles, which is useful for those who are loyal to other games systems than their friends.
Fabulous Locations
You may think that the Cold War was entirely based in East Germany and the then USSR, but this game uses ingenuity and historical flashbacks (showing how conflicts in entirely different parts of the world can have an impact years later and many miles away).
Vietnam – dramatic flashbacks to the trauma of the Vietnam War in the 60s, showing earlier CoD missions and linking past events to current alliances and loyalties
Berlin – a neon-drenched party-scene in which Kraftwerk and Bowie were perfecting their 80s game, but unfortunately neither makes even a cameo appearance in the game. The soundtrack is fantastic though, so you do get the benefit of that!
Turkey – visit Trabzon Airport in Turkey, which you may recall from the unusual accident that occurred there when a Pegasus Airlines plane overshot the runway on landing and ended up halfway down a cliff, poised above the sea, making dramatic news features in 2018. In the game, you will hopefully not end up in a plane crash, but instead solve a crucial part of your mission
Moscow – Soviet headquarters of the KGB, the Lubyanka, all grim architecture and busts of Lenin
Miami – sun-soaked, beautiful beaches and undercover agents everywhere!
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War for Xbox is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

One of my favorite games ever. Every mode in this game is awesome, at the moment I haven't had any problem with it. The only thing I don't really like is that it's really hard to get CP (you get like 300CP/season) and the only other way to get them is by buying them. Also, I bought this game when it was in season 4, and I couldn't get skins from previous seasons. Except from that, everything is fine.

This game was kinda fun at the beginning but since season 2 or 3 it has gotten worse and worse because weapons like lmgs are getting stronger and the whole game seems like its made for campers. It just isn't fun if u don't sit in the corners like the rest of the players.

Game is so terrible it makes me feel depressed. My K/D is 2.0 but every match looks so bad. I cant say anything positive about this game. Whatever cross your mind to ask about this game answer is "That is bad too"
Nothing
Everything

Don't waste your time with this game, i payed full price on Blizzard and when i realized that basic functionality was not there like joining party's with my friends, i tried to get a refund, Blizzard said i had played to long to get a refund so i was denied. I literally did not play a single minute of campaign, i was only trying to get their shitty game to work, with no luck and they deny my refund.
If you are thinking of getting this game please do not waste your money, you will not feel good about this purchase unless it was at least 50% off.
Don't be an idiot like me.
Zombies is alright and Campaign is good but very short
That's really it.
Not optimized well
A lot of the game's functionality was not there and is still not there.
Bad SBMM killing multiplayer community
Incomplete Release
2020-11-28T23:14:53-0500
worst call of duty ever made, buggy as hell game, needs internet connection just to play the campaign, constantly showing the pay to win need of the game. also, explain to me why in gods name does this game needs 285GB of space? why in hell?!
To conclude, this isnt a cod game, its a money making release game just to prey on young gamers and fans who will always buy the game whatever the quality of it, riidiculous and horrible game.
2020-11-28T08:30:28-0500
Why is it taking so much time to get stock for this? A lot of us have been waiting for it for some time now. This is the website where this game costs the least. I really want this gamem but i wanted to get it as cheap as possible.

The game is sooo good. Finally a good old black ops game again.
Also the zombie mode is really well made.
The only stupid thing is, that people are rating the game bad here, only because instant gaming has no keys. I mean wtf
The game looks and plays great
people hating on the game here without playing it
2020-11-21T08:39:42-0500
So everyone here wants a new AAA title when it's released under the full price...
continue begging while watching us play :) it is just dumb if you think of it it's like going to a store
with discounts and asking for a ps5 for 300 dollars, smart boiiii.these guys have to make profit
Great game
2020-11-19T01:42:38-0500
Just shut up guys. If you want the game on release, just buy it full price! If you want to save so money, have some patience. This is a place to leave reviews of the game, not get mad about how the don't have keys yet...
2020-11-18T18:39:01-0500
It says release date is november 13th, its been 5 days since then and still nothing. IG really when is the game key coming out, we are all waiting. If you take to long we'll buy this game on some other website

2020-11-18T15:27:11-0500

2020-11-17T16:11:59-0500

2020-11-16T10:10:34-0500
I'm a very long customer here on Instant Gaming but waiting so long for a key that was released 2 days ago is unfortunately not at all typical for you, I hope that it will happen tomorrow because it's slowly getting too stupid for me
<3 Instang Gaming
Takes so long!!!
2020-11-15T16:04:25-0500
Very nice. The Weapon feeling is good and the lobbies are full with noobs. I dont feel anything from the announced SBMM.
Treyarch is the only good company behind Black Ops Cold War. Activision just tries to make more and more money and to do that, they dont really give a damn about the playerbase.
zombies
Weapon feeling
Lobbies
not on instantgaming
some op-weapons
2020-11-15T12:06:49-0500
I'll give this game a 90, only because you can't get it anywhere for under 60$, But the actual gameplay is phenomenal, I already played the game on my friends pc who actually bought it and it feels like the old times, and I would really recommend... If you get it for 40$
Good game
Gameplay isn't terrible
Brings back the old times
Zombies also isn't terrible
Costs 60$ at the moment
