With the passage of time, the level of the story of the "Call of Duty" series has become very special, because the game takes us to many different periods of modern human history.
Now, the "Call of Duty" series has a brand new new game, "Black Ops" Cold War. This title clearly takes us back to the Cold War era that began in the 1940s and continued into the early 1990s.
We can see that the Cold War period lasted for a long time, and during which many problems and confrontations occurred, which provided a very fertile environment for writing stories with many details and consequences.
In fact, that's what developer Treyarch announced, and as he said, it has merged Call of Duty gameplay with a unique era in human warfare history.
But at the same time, we are not talking about a global war, in this world war there are major confrontations or heroic battles that must be transferred to the game, so this part is one of the very distinctive parts of the way we deal with the story. First, this is the topic we're discussing today, the story of the Cold War and how it affects its presentation.
What is the cold war and how did it end?
Although the United States and the Soviet Union were allies during World War II, after their victory, the two countries had differences in the way they ran the world, and especially in the economic system.
The United States adopts a capitalist ideology, unlike the Soviet Union, which adopts communist ideology. Therefore, each country began to promote its own system and a kind of fierce competition began between the two powers in all scientific, industrial, economic and of course war and military fields.
Each country began to support a specific region to spread its own ideology, while at the same time it was working to destabilize the countries of the other side.
During this period there were many conflicts around the world, and we can take into account the conflicts of the Cold War, and in our Arab region there are examples of the Cold War, such as the 1967 war, and the victory of October 73. The United States supports the entity camp and the Soviet Union supports the Arabs. The national camp
However, despite the persistence of these tensions for nearly fifty years, we did not witness a clear, direct and large-scale military conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, on the contrary, all of these conflicts heralded the outbreak of World War III. In the end it ended at the negotiating table.
How did the Cold War period affect the events of the Black Ops Cold War story?
High stealth missions
As I mentioned, this period did not witness any major battles between the two parties. On the contrary, we can definitely consider the Cold War period as an intelligence agency.
So in the game there are a series of missions that depend on stealth and of course you can do these bloody missions completely and fight everyone, but these missions were carried out secretly at the beginning.
Old and future weapons
What I'm talking about is a game whose story is about a conflict that ended in the early 1990s, and the game's missions have different schedules, some of them already in the beginning of the conflict.
Therefore, you will find that the game contains an arsenal of weapons that are relatively old, but at the same time they are not the same as the weapons of the First and Second World War, here we are talking about a group of well-known and famous machine guns such as the AK-47 or MP5.
Two ends and there is no good or bad
If you were reading the article so far, you would realize that the Cold War was a war to impose control and affirm who is the only superpower, as it was not a statement to support truth or fight evil.
In the game Call of Duty Cold War, you play on the side of the United States, and of course this side will be completely convinced that what it is doing is good, but at the same time the game presented the story in a way that shows American ambitions and the way to deal with these crises, which is considered a little cheap.
Conclusion
The period of the Cold War is one of the most prominent modern conflicts in human history, and there are many reasons for this, most notably that the conflict lasted for a long time and spread to almost all regions of the world.
So when this period turned into the story of the game we found a deep story with many different differences and opinions, because the war originally ended in politics and we did not have a common path forward. We cannot say that the United States is the aggressor and vice versa, but this is just a struggle for power in it. This was the strongest at that time.
This is the secret of the quality of the Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War story despite its short duration as you can finish the story in just 7 hours.
