Call of Duty: Black Ops — Cold War gameplay: Stealth inevitably erupts into weapons-hot action

Activision‘s Treyarch and Raven Software studios today showed off the gameplay for their long-awaited Call of Duty: Black Ops — Cold War, a sequel to 2010’s Call of Duty: Black Ops. In this game, you play as CIA operative Russell Adler hunting a Soviet spy who has eluded capture for decades. You’re authorized to go after the spy, whose codename is Perseus, in a deniable covert operation authorized by the president of the United States.

Cold War will be a cross-generation game, meaning you’ll be able to play it on the PC (on Battle.net), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PS4, and Xbox One. Players will be able to play with each other and switch between the platforms without losing their progress. You’ll be able to be in a party with players from other platforms — or play against them. On the new consoles, you’ll get features such as 4K HDR graphics, no loading times, and faster gameplay.
