Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Part 1. Straight into a conflict. (Regular Campaign Blind)
0Part Synopsis: Setting the stage for what's to come, Mason and Adler are in Amsterdam at a bar. A police chief informs them they have a brief period to get their intended target. Meeting Woods in the alley, the trio head out. At the home of the man they're after, shots start firing as he flees. The group chase after, dealing with heavy resistance on the rooftops.
After cornering him, Qasim drops information that Arash is seeing a contact in Turkey. A few hours later, the three set up at an airstrip. Upon appearing, taking out Arash fails. They chase in a jeep, bringing down the plane trying to take off with him inside. Still alive, Arash names someone named Perseus before Adler executes him. During a briefing with Reagan, it's disclosed Perseus is a ghost character who poses immense threat to the world who may not even exist at all.
Reagan authorizes whatever resources necessary. Five weeks later, Adler has a team set up in Berlin. A new player only known as Bell comes into the scene. Through a method that remains unexplained at the moment, the setting shifts to Vietnam. Bell joins Sims and Adler in looking for vital intel. Landing in a hostile village, they find a Comms log among some Soviet operatives present.
Playthrough Information: This is a blind let's play. The main focus of this series is to cover the single player campaign from start to finish. The difficulty will be set to Regular for its duration. This isn't going to showcase 100% completion, achievements, covering secrets or featuring everything available. As for branching paths or optional activities, I have no intent of looking into details prior on how to do anything in particular. No multiplayer will be shown. All videos will feature commentary and webcam usage. Gameplay is captured from the digital version of the PS5 edition.
About Game: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is a 2020 first-person shooter video game developed by Treyarch and Raven Software and published by Activision. It was released worldwide on November 13, 2020, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It serves as the sixth installment in the Black Ops series and the seventeenth installment in the overall Call of Duty series. The game is the second Call of Duty title since 2011's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to be co-developed by two studios.
Black Ops Cold War's campaign is set during the early 1980s of the Cold War, taking place between Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010) and Call of Duty: Black Ops II (2012) chronologically. It is centered around a pursuit of the alleged Soviet spy Perseus, whose stated goal is to subvert the United States and tilt the balance of power toward the Soviet Union. For the campaign, the player takes control of "Bell", who is recruited by CIA officer Russell Adler into a multinational task force created to hunt down Perseus. The campaign also sees the return of Black Ops characters Alex Mason, Frank Woods, and Jason Hudson, with Mason also being the playable character in certain missions. The game's multiplayer introduced new game modes as well as new map dynamics and elements, carrying over several design choices introduced in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It features a seasonal content system similar to Modern Warfare, which includes a battle pass as well as free maps and weapons added every season. Cold War also features narrative tie-ins to Modern Warfare via the campaign and multiplayer, establishing a shared universe across multiple Call of Duty sub-series.
The game was originally developed by Raven and Sledgehammer Games and not intended to be an entry in the Black Ops subseries. However, the development suffered from disagreements among the two teams, resulting in Activision placing Treyarch in charge of the game's development in 2019, with Raven acting as a co-developer to them. Marketing for the game began in August 2020 and was done in different forms, including certain content creators receiving slide projectors, puzzles made to be solved online by fans, and a website showcasing historical Cold War events. A public multiplayer beta for the game was also made live in October 2020. Black Ops Cold War received generally favorable reviews from critics, with praise for the campaign, multiplayer, and zombies, while criticizing its technical issues and lack of innovation. It became the best-selling game of 2020 in the US.
Campaign: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War campaign allows players to assume a custom character, codenamed "Bell", with the ability to choose their intelligence agency, skin tone, nationality, and gender; as well as different personality traits that provide in-game perks. For the first time since Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the campaign features multiple endings, dependent on player choice throughout the campaign.
