Activision revealed the multiplayer gameplay for Call of Duty: Black Ops — Cold War today. This is new installment of the franchise that has sold more than 300 million copies across 17 years. And this year’s multiplayer will be as frenetic as ever.

I played Cold War’s multiplayer during a recent online press event hosted by publisher Activision and game studios Treyarch and Raven Software. And Activision also revealed the details in a stream on Twitch. In my preview session, the action was nonstop, and I enjoyed venturing to new places for some fast first-person shooter combat.
