Best Shooters of 2020
Second Runner-Up: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
Deputy Guides Editor Tom Hopkins: Following the huge success that was Modern Warfare can’t have been an easy task for Treyarch. The Black Ops series has arguably been the most popular Call of Duty sub series over recent years, but it needed to step its game up once more with Cold War.
As a package, Black Ops Cold War is fantastic and full of content. Although the ending is slightly underwhelming, the campaign is another exciting story full of impressive set-pieces, the multiplayer is still an addictive showcase for Call of Duty’s stellar shooter mechanics, and Zombies is some of the most fun you’ll have in any shooter.
Yes, its multiplayer is once again let down by poor map design, but the consistent content updates are bringing new and improved options to the playlist.
Once again though, Black Ops Cold War does its yearly job of proving that the Call of Duty series is the best in the business when it comes to how great it feels to pick up and play. It may not be the best the series has been in recent years, but Cold War is more than worth trying out.
