Being set in what boils down to an ‘80s action movie means that the game absolutely oozes style, from its colourful maps to its actually fun soundtrack. Unlike with the more recent Call of Duty games, the beta throws you back to a time when disco was hip and communists were evil, and this setting is undoubtedly the game’s greatest strength. In this year’s entry, you take control of a spec ops soldier in a cold war gone warm in the 1980s. After playing this year’s Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War beta, though, it looks like I’ll have to force myself to play it when it comes time to write a full review in a few weeks. It’s not exactly an obligation for me to play these games, but depending on the year, it can feel like one. It’s a set of filler games, something for me to play when I’m not playing better shooters or worse RPGs. Although the franchise has certainly had its ups and downs, each year I spend £45 on a series that I’ve come to think about in the same way I think about a beer that’s drunk in between cocktails. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been buying Call of Duty games at launch, and recently I’ve even started to participate in their testing phases.
