Lest I lose all of the fans who are picking up Cold War looking for a traditional CoD game, don’t get me wrong, there are still massively over-the-top set pieces that have you unleashing hell upon everything around you. If you don’t want to pay any attention to the evidence, it won’t impact the main campaign, but I had a good time digging through both to help solve the side missions and see more bits of world-building. Here, you can either choose to continue along with the nine (sixteen if you include briefings) primary missions or dig a bit deeper with two side missions and the pieces of evidence that you can find throughout the game to help you complete those side missions. That includes the structure of selecting your missions, which is carried out through an evidence board in your safe house. This installment goes away from that and it makes for a much more interesting and compelling mix of gameplay. Typically, there is nowhere to go but along the path laid out for you and to shoot everything you see along the way. The CoD games may not be rail shooters (at least not most of the time), but they can start to feel that way.
Depending on why you bought Cold War, the lack of gunplay may turn you off, but personally, this was one of my favorite parts of the game with elements of spycraft and a number of different choices to make regarding how you want to carry out your mission.
