Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone would share a passion for fighting

Warzone will share content with the Cold War, while Black Ops will have "shared progression functions" that could be used in both games to attach product items. (Also, they might already have seen a hint of this with the Bay of Pigs SKS, which Warzone players were able to buy during the Cold War reveal event in-game.) Trailer for Call of Duty next big game published but the notion of games-as-a-service is what is distinctive about Black Ops Cold War the didn't exist 10 years ago.

In comparison, Warzone players "will still have access to the material of Modern Warfare they previously won, such as operators and weapon designs." This seems to be related to a shared Warzone-Cold War combat pass scheme that will unlock post-launch content with "strong and united progression" in both games. This is likely to follow a similar path to the direction the combat pass is currently operating in Warzone, with play unlocking "base weapons, customization products and much more." More details on exactly how this is all going to work are coming at such later date, even though it's clear that Activision wants to create good ties between the Warzone in-game reveal and these mutual advancement plans.

It is just a convenient solution to both the royal war call of duty, since the relentless release of new war royales for each annual name meant that the show risked cannibalizing its audience due to the popularity of Warzone, retaining this userbase (and money flow) and using the free-to-play battle royale to enable Warzone players to pick up other Call of Duty titles makes sense for Activision. In reality, Activision publisher boss Rob Kostich said earlier that the company sees Warzone as "a perfect forum for us to share new franchise news and details directly with our audience, just as we did not before."

Whether another mutual battle-pass evolution between Cold War and Warzone would also apply to Modern Warfare remains unknown, although it is an interesting new franchise strategy-particularly because the conventional brands Modern Warfare and Black Ops do not cross over.

BLACK Operations COLD WAR Transforming WARZONE

The most likely consequence of Warzone's association with the Cold War is the addition of Cold War multiplayer characters, known as "Operators" in Call of Duty Parlance. even though the online operators of Modern Warfare are still playable in Warzone, it is also very possible that the technicians implemented in Cold War will function in Warzone in such a similar manner.

What's fresh about Black Ops Cold War is that the Black Ops franchise is about to have a much closer friendship with its sibling in Modern Warfare, because of Warzone. This includes crossover characters, maps and Warzone is a space for both games of course. People may also see the beginning of an ongoing narrative in Marvel's style, in which a single, unifying tale is told over multiple and increasingly disintegrating games.

Black Ops Cold War is a fresh start for the Black Ops series, but whether it keeps its period settings over several iterations or returns to the future is another big question that Infinity Ward leaves us in the dark.
