Even though Reznov didn't have a cameo, I feel like his message embodies the entire Campaign. "The flag may be different but the methods are the same."

"The flags may be different but their methods are all the same"- Viktor Reznov

"You never actually kill any of the bad guys"he says as he's just mowing them down with a minigun

At least Mason can still see the numbers.

If you pay attention to how Mason talks to Bell you can see how he talks to them like he felt bad, like he knew what Bell is going through

Bonus similarity: JFK and Gorbachev use the same dialect when you meet with them

Most redeeming part of Cold War was Woods being an onion

I love the parallels that the stories have, with Cold War being unique but also a sort of love letter to the original Black Ops. And the fact that this combines the worlds of Black Ops with the new Modern Warfare, whose campaign I also loved for its homages to CoD 4.

"The story is the same but backwards"

Hm just like
Fallout 3 and Fallout 4

The one issue I actually had with Cold War was that it's campaign was extremely short. It can literally be completed in like a few hours. Compare it to Black Ops 1 and 2, and it really shows how short the campaign is. Granted, they seem to have sacrificed the length for options and details, but still, when playing as a customized character for the second time in CoD, I'd have liked to spend more time as them before getting shot.

Treyarch could be sending the message that history, in the end, repeats itself.

bo1- "We are in grave danger from the Communists"
bo cw-"We are in grave danger from the Capitalists"

I did the “bad” ending and ended up killing Adler, didn’t like the guy lol. I liked that Cold War gave you a choice to make at the end

‘We get dirty and the world stays clean, that’s the mission’ - John Price 2019

In the end, Bell decides whether they follow that, or do the complete opposite

Me playing the KGB mission in Cold War in the elevator
“Remember, no Russian”

[YourOnlyVaIentine]

“Know Your History, Or Be Doomed To Repeat It.” It All Makes Sense Now...

I loved the campaign, I just wish it was longer.

[nikolavukadinovic]

"We have a mission to do" = "Would you kindly"

[azazelsvideos]

I can’t believe they actually got Ronald Reagan to voice act for them!

[noxbeetle]

how about when gorbachev said:
"we're in grave danger from the capitalist, our collective, our very way of life is at risk"
