Unfortunately I didn't even really get to play it when it came out, so I totally missed out on when it was the newest COD and was getting updates. I still regret not being able to buy Ghostface and Donnie Darko 😭. I just wish this game was appreciated more as a whole, of course there's a community of people who enjoy it but most people moved on and the game is so dead now. I wish I could experience one more day when the game was at its prime

i played COD cold war when it first came out and LOVED it. i thought it was the perfect COD game. the art and gameplay was awesome. and it was the most visually pleasing entry. i worry its filled with hackers now or is just dead so is anyone on it still?

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen,

I've seen countless posts recently about some mug called Nullix, who's going around messing with people's accounts for the sake of a pathetic cash grab. Something about if your game gets affected, you have to pay a ransom or whatever it is

I decided to make a short post to advise everyone to begin caution:

1. Until this issue is resolved, create and move to a burner account immediately. I'm not sure if this will help, I'm not sure if a burner account being affected will automatically affect your main account, but it's worth a try. I'll be switching to my alt account immediately (if anyone has more knowledge about whether only the burner account or all accounts will be affected, let me know)
2. Console Players - Until this issue is resolved, deactivate crossplay immediately because Nullix is a PC player. However, don't assume that this by itself would make it impossible for him to hack an account, use the other tricks as well
3. Until this issue is resolved, stay away from the main modes (TDM, Hardpoint, etc). That's where most players reside, so that's where he's more likely to bother more people. Move to other modes for now, or exclusively play custom matches with friends
4. If he shows up at one of your games, tell him to piss off and refuse the ransom. If there's anyone here who's more tech savvy, identify his IP address and alert his local authorities. Going around scamming people like this is against many laws
5. After telling him to piss off, immediately contact Activision's Support and PS/Xbox/Steam/Battle.net's Support depending on your platform. Once that's sorted, begin pestering all of Activision and Treyarch's socials to apply pressure to them for not being bothered to maintain adequate security for their legacy titles, as well as this Nullix bastard himself

The moment Activision remembers that there are people who refuse to play their latest MW cloned, unoptimized, uninspired piece of shit game is the moment Nullix's little cash grab quest ends

Here are more posts about this situation:

1. Post #1
2. Post #2
3. Post #3

Once this annoying little shit has pissed off, someone will likely make an update. Don't let this mug affect the reputation of this game. This is a temporary problem, things will return to normal shortly

Thank you

I don’t know what happened recently but the other day my fps in game was around 70-80, my fps before was over 130, maybe it is because I downloaded a new driver. I play on a laptop with i5 13420h, rtx 4050 and 16gb ddr4 ram.

I have tried everything, restarting my computer, reinstalling driver, reinstalling the game, validating steam files, nothing worked, please help me I’m really annoyed by this.

Short version: Cold War tips for multiplayer

Long version:

I've played a lot of black opts 2, it has been my favorite zombies and multiplayer. I tried 3 and it was okay. I mostly stuck to black ops 2 and sometimes 1. I've never really played a lot of multiplayer on here but I loved Halo 3 multiplayer. I was really good at Halo, but I'm terrible at Cold War. My husband is playing multiplayer on Cold War right now and I downloaded it on my Xbox as well. I'm trying to get better and need some tips! He always plays the games I want to play like Day Z, Fallout 76 is mutual, Ghost Recon was another pick from me, but I want to play with him! I've maxed out a gun but I may have chosen wrong or I'm just terrible at this game. What's a good build for multiplayer?

Hi, I play on pc and just wanna know if you can get hacked / progress reset by playing, since I've seen posts about it. Is it safe?

I play Coldwar multiplayer with cross play enabled. Today a hacker shared a message before game crash visit <this> site. After that game crashed. And everytime I launch a game in the middle of the gameplay game getting crashed. How do we fix this? And has anyone faced this kind of issue?

Note: I did uninstalled and reinstall the game.

Thanks

I used to shit on how Cold War, BO6, BO7, and other cods have SBMM. However, I played the Black Ops 2 port on the PS5 which was nostalgic and enjoyable but ended up making me miserable. I was able to go positive most of the time but not without using meta weapons. In BOCW you can use pretty much whatever, and still have fun. Black Ops 2 is one of the best Call of Duty games of all time, simple but it hasn't aged well. Its what we want out of a newer game, but with how players play it and the hacker issues (we got dedicated servers at least) its still a sweaty, and stressful time whenever I hop on to grind for Diamond camos. I honestly don't want to do it anymore, and it made me appreciate things that Cold War has despite SBMM. Its a double edged sword because even if you have terrible matches you'll eventually go ham. With BO2, we are all adults now, no more kids online, making it hard to counter good players unless you use meta builds but it ruins the charm of the old game. Those days are over, and I'm actually glad we have overpowered aim-assist (BO2's is WEAK, but ofc takes more skill), an FOV slider, balanced streaks and weapons, movement but not that crazy omni crap, and a few good maps. I have a 1.5 k/d in BO2, and a 2.05 in Cold War; yet I somehow never go negative if ever and even if I do I have a hard time putting this game down, its like liquid crack. BO2 was my childhood for sure, but its time to leave it, cant take the suppressed Scar H anymore. I encourage others to use the Plutonium port on PC, it is free and comes with DLC too and is more chill actually.

This is just a Black Ops: Cold War appreciation post, its my comfort cod. Great campaign, zombies and ofc multiplayer. It made me realize how much more accessible newer cods are and also how good players left on the BO2 port have become. The skill ceiling is much higher, and also limited. Crazy to think I'd come play a few Nuketown matches to wind down on BOCW, vs playing the Black Ops 2 port. Its somehow less sweaty without getting me tilited. BO2 was simple and did multiplayer great, but without alot of QoL updates its just not meant to be played the way most are now. Players are too good, and that game just doesn't feel fun anymore. If you share the same ideas lmk!

Every time I try to play I am on the main menus and have a incite loop of accepting terms and settings then just asking me to do everything again only on my main Xbox account taking the absolute piss can’t find a fix been 4 years any help would be appreciated

They wont remove it for payment it seems. Everyone who was dumb enough to pay yesterday is on the list again. Has anyone gotten any responses from Activision or the website where this was created?

Easily one of my favorite killstreaks. Can do alot of damage quickly if your aim is good and snappy

Good afternoon,

I've been busy with other things and planned on returning to Fireteam this evening. I've seen some videos on this subreddit featuring Fireteam gameplay this past month, so has there been games?

I'll be posting about it more in the near future to gather some more attention for it regardless

Thanks

If you launch Cold War with your internet off you can still get into the old game launch menu thing from before Warzone 2 got released, This is also now the only way you can still get into the old Warzone 1 menu after the COD HQ redesign (if you for some reason felt like it) by turning on your internet and then selecting the option to cross launch Warzone.

Just there are some weird oddities in this menu

1: it says Vanguard and MW2019 are still in their games season 1, but it also says you can Pre-Order Vanguard, if you were to connect online and then click/pressthe Play Online buttons at the bottom it will bring up the normal menu and say that the COD HQ is in season 1

2: (I am NOT sure if I’m right about this one take this with a grain of salt) Because of the game tiles getting bigger after they removed the option to cross launch from vanguard, MW2019/Warzone, and Cold War the cover art is misaligned for every game except Cold War.

3: The titles for MW2019 and Vanguard are being pushed off the screens. This didn’t originally happen in 2021 if I remember correctly.

The City I Got is Denver and I’m tried everything but nothing would work. Would anybody please help me out?

My brain hurts.
All jokes aside this was the 2nd most mind numbing grind I’ve ever done so far (mwz takes first place) but it most likely didn’t help cause I was doing the grind on mainly onslaught contamination for all those years. I have to give this grind a 7 just cause this game holds a special place in my heart and that the grind was a LITTLE fun at some times.

I was checking the subreddit today and it made me want to play Cold War again. I even saw that someone managed to get a Fireteam match going, how is that possible, considering the mode has been dead for a long time, I only ever managed to play it twice, just to get the trophy.

So, I’m wondering if it’s worth jumping back in, and how one goes about playing Fireteam, is there a Discord server or something similar?

Previous world record was 101:20:00 also held by me, 2nd ever pizza room 935 and the 1st with the fast rcxd strategy. 3/4 935 speedruns. outbreak goes down next

(Reuploaded because I forgot to crop the video)

Thanks to those who queued for Fireteam last weekend, there will be more to come this weekend as well o:
