This review primarily focuses on the updates and preservation efforts in the Collection rather than the games themselves. Multiplayer functionality in classic titles is a significant feat in terms of preservation, providing something that emulation cant easily replicate. The Collection also received a decade of continuous support, which, unfortunately, is quite rare these days and deserves commendation. However, the fact that customization features are locked away is kinda sad. If more companies gave their games the MCC treatment (cough, Nintendo, cough), people might actually be inclined to buy those games instead of resorting to emulation.

This is a review for the Zombies gamemode. I'm not into the main storyline of Call of Duty, so this review will focus solely on Zombies. Cold war has by far my favorite gunplay out of any cod. The guns just feel snappy yknow? I like the fact that any gun can do infinite damage now instead of just the wonder weapons, viability does not need to be hyper-tuned in a PvE mode. I will agree with what others have said, easter eggs being in this weird in-between as a really obscure questline is… weird. Just make it a full blown quest with pop ups telling you what to do, if you’re going to change the system this is just a bad way to do it. I don’t like mysterious quests myself, I do not want to pull up a roflwaffle video just to play origins for the first time. But with how it was implemented in Cold War is the worst of both worlds. That aside, for ease of access, good movement, gunplay, and god i fucking love outbreak. It’s easily my second favorite zombies below bo3 (Surprise, surprise, i know).
