The Call of Duty series did not start with Multiplayer, Battle Royale, or even Zombies, but rather began with the story phase, all I remember about Call of Duty as a child is that its war stories were very interesting even if they were about world wars, but there was some passion and wonderful story creativity Frankly speaking, it began to decline a lot through time and parts in order to focus on the sustainable experience, or perhaps I say the multiplayer at the expense of the story ..
Despite the importance of the story phase in any game, we have witnessed a great focus on the competitive phases without it. The greatest example of this is: Here is COD Black Ops 4, which contained only Battle Royale and Multiplayer, and the story was completely removed from it ..!
However, we started to see good flashes in returning to the strong storytelling both in the types of missions and in how they were carried out and the attention to detail starting with the COD Modern Warfare part and personally I saw that the story of that part was fairly good and that's why I just said flashes, but let's be honest again, the story of the Black Ops series. It was or may I say the best scenarios I have been waiting for and that Call of Duty fans in general have been waiting for. Perhaps Black Ops 1 was the first to do so and excelled at presenting a story that no one of us could forget, and that is why I say that we are on the date of the strongest comeback in the history of Call of Duty from During Black Ops Cold War which starts within days, of course you may ask me about the reasons and I will tell you ..
First, you may be surprised at the reason: the extraordinary marketing campaign!
Yes, this is the first reason that made me invest in Black Ops Cold War and made me follow its blog constantly, waiting for any new information, and for the first time it included the cooperation of famous content makers and it started by sending them boxes containing Projectors from the seventies with pictures of some hints, puzzles and talismans required by the players To collaborate together to solve it in live broadcast, it took 3-4 hours.
The idea that the puzzles led content makers to ancient parts of Black Ops contained additional hints and upon deciphering the runes, it turned out sentences that the CIA and the Soviet Union were using as codes and the matter reached the point where we got a hint of a famous chess match that actually took place in the Cold War period between the two controversial fronts and it was Who led us to a mysterious browser website.
For about a week, this site kept updating itself with old tapes that we had to watch for a quarter of an hour and contained a terrible number of codes, the idea that each tape was showing a period of the real Cold War era and the political repercussions that occurred at that time, creating that atmosphere of mystery, excitement And the desire to learn more about that mysterious game, and some even had to open history books to solve some mysteries, which is excellent.
The situation remained the same for days with hints that made us go down to COD Warzone to see NUKE for the first time at the bottom of Verdansk until all the puzzles were solved and all the codes that were used were lost and for science cryptographic methods from this era really until we reached the first offer of COD Black Ops Cold War to feel the fruit of our success .
Throughout this whole period, what was not interested in the Cold War period began to pay attention to it, and who was not enthusiastic about the new part of Call of Duty, he became confident that the upcoming work will change the data about the story completely because the same marketing method made us wait for the events of the story on fire, which is a success. By itself, to restore interest in this forgotten phase.
Second: The same period!
The events of COD Black Ops Cold War take place in the period of the Cold War at the height of the conflict between America and the Soviet Union, an era that people usually love because of its inherent ambiguity and many secrets that we still do not know the truth about until the moment from the killing of JF Kennedy, which raised the nuclear threats at the time, the Vietnam War and the War Spies from which many artistic works have come from, whether series or movies.
This era is considered a barrel of secrets that arouses the curiosity of anyone and a part of Call of Duty in this period is exactly what was needed for your love, a new story, strong and with a dramatic framework that also brings us back to the old days, and what we have seen until the moment confirms the great interest in this phase to the point that a studio itself was based on it The work was divided into two studios in order to produce the game distinctly.
Third: It is a game from Black Ops, gentlemen!
Mystery, excitement, espionage and the atmosphere of adrenaline, these are the names of Black Ops in the experience it provides and in general, the Black Ops series succeeded because of two elements that the Multiplayer was not of them and I talk about its wonderful story and the development of Zombies, which took the experience of Call of Duty to another place completely and you know very well what it means A new part of Black Ops as you know very well what you are up to from a well-knit story. Usually we were able to relate to it all, at least until the part of Black Ops 2, whether from unforgettable characters like Woods, Mason and Hudson, all the way to the plot twists that surprised us all. At the time, and how to tell the story itself, which takes the character of espionage, the CIA and the eternal conflict with Russian authorities as its official feature and slogan.
Who does not like espionage and the general atmosphere that comes with it and that experience that is overshadowed by playing silently and lightly, which was presented for the first time in the first part in a move different from the traditional character of Call of Duty at the time, which was dominated by the factor of wars greatly, whether talking about parts Modern Warfare or the old one with parts of world wars such as World At War and the old series.
From here, Call of Duty moved from tasks urging you to go here or there, place a bomb here or there, or repel enemy raids, and out of the war character of the character of black operations to tell us stories about soldiers that no one knows about, working in silence and their lives are all action, espionage and exciting Also, it is not a requirement that it occur in a field or battlefield, but rather you find tasks inside bars, cities, for example, and regions that had a great impact in breaking the mold of boredom from the battlefields and moving to fight with a different front in different ways that work in secret and this is the legacy or the sense that I left Black Ops, which is the same atmosphere.
The atmosphere that excites players when they notice its return in the Black Ops Cold War segment in particular
Fourth: a story based on very realistic events!
The story of COD Black Ops Cold War is actually based on real events and Activision says it is the boldest method that will display this tense period in modern history, and this means that a task of the same type as No Russian may come back again, especially as I remember well that the game's trailer in Russia was banned by Activision due to Political criticism, therefore, the matter is really real and what the company will present to us will stem from its research in the oldest files on that issue.
Our story takes place after the events of Black Ops 1 and revolves around the ability of a Russian spy under the pseudonym Perseus to enter the ranks of the American army and pass on top-secret information about America's nuclear weapons to Russia, which is what he really succeeds in. America may lead to the start of a fierce nuclear war, which is what we saw in the first game presentation with the appearance of the Russian scientist Yuri Bezmenov, who continued to threaten humans and warn them that the end was imminent.
Generally speaking, those were my reasons that lead me to say that we are going to have an excellent story in COD Black Ops Cold War when it releases on November 13th for the current, next generation and PC!
