This is partly due to the “strike” maps that have been introduced. I like a lot of Modern Warfare maps, but I’ve increasingly come to enjoy Cold War’s even more. It’s an enormously detailed game which is actually quite useful. Even while watching POTG you can see exactly what weapon and attachments were used. Just about every stat you could care to peruse you can find. There’s just a ton of info available in Cold War. The point being, I have found myself enjoying Cold War’s arsenal more than Modern Warfare’s lately. I love Cold War’s snappy shotguns and have increasingly been using Tactical Rifles in my loadouts (though not in League, unfortunately, where there are neither Stims (gah!) or Tactical Rifles. Several of the game’s SMGs rank among my favorite, including the AK-74u and the LC-10. The Pelington sniper rifle is a phenomenal gun. Most of my favorite guns are now Black Ops Cold War guns. Music + fast, fluid movement is a great combination. Switching back to Modern Warfare it just feels too quiet. Modern Warfare has fine music but Black Ops Cold War’s music player means you have lots of high-energy tracks to listen to while you’re in multiplayer. There are times when I really just find myself in a zone playing this game. When you get the flow down, the movement in this game is just way more fun (if less realistic). There are times where I feel like I’m flying across a Cold War map.


Going back to Modern Warfare or Warzone just feels clunky and slow after you’ve played a bunch of Cold War.
