With Black Ops Cold War fully revealed, I've decided to collect all the details into a single blog post, along with the trailers. Credit to CharlieINTEL for summarising it all.
Singleplayer[]
- The game is a sequel to the original Black Ops, and takes place in the 1980s.
- The campaign will have multiple endings.
- You’ll be able to create your own character.
- Here’s he official description:
- A major new character has been introduced, called Adler. The plot revolves around the hunt for a Russian mole called Perseus (Cold War), with both Alex Mason and Frank Woods returning.
- The campaign is being developed by Raven Software.
Multiplayer[]
- The game will feature cross play.
- All DLC, following last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), will be free. This means that both multiplayers maps and Zombies maps are all free (the first time for the latter).
- As a result, there won’t be a battle pass.
- Early access starts on the 8th of October.
General[]
- The Black Ops engine has been revamped, according to Treyarch.
- Multiple studios are involved in the production, including High Moon Studios, Beenox, Activision Shanghai, and Sledgehammer Games.
- The game will be releasing on the PS5 and the new Xbox (I forget the name). The standard addition will apparently be more expensive for the new consoles.
Leaks[]
There’s also been some leaks to go with the reveal:
- Two Factions: CIA vs Spetsnaz
- EKIA is back, like Black Ops 4
- Boots on the ground movement is similar to Black Ops 4 and has sliding. There is also slide cancelling.
- Health is at 150 like Black Ops 4, but TTK is faster than BO4
- Full auto health regeneration; no Stim
- Claims “Strong” SBMM like in MW
- The normal Mini-map is back again
- Dead Silence is a perk again. It was not a perk in a build from several months back
- Field Upgrades are back, the following known: Trophy System, Proximity Mine
- Two maps known (Miami club setting & Desert open map that has ammo crates)
- Ground War: A 12v12 Ground War map with three ships that are connected with zip-lines
- Swimming mechanics is back (like Black Ops 3 & 4)
- There are no specialists
- Score streaks are returning, but with a twist. the work with a multiplier for killstreaks.
- Streaks known so far:
- UAV, VTOL, Chopper Gunner, Cruise Missle, Napalm Strike, and Artillery Strike
- Modes:
- Hardpoint (arrow shows next HP), Kill Confirmed, VIP (kind of like safeguard), Ground War
- CONFIRMED GUNS:
- ARs: M16-A2, AK5
- SMG: An uzi-style gun, MP5, AK74u
- Additional: Type 63, Stoner 63, Type 15, Colt Commando

- Simple to BO4, not as many options as MW
- There’s a hybrid Pick 10 and MW-style where you still get 5 attachments on all guns.
- Three perks (one that can add extra attachments)
