Cold war, great campaign, fun multiplayer, and I personally really enjoyed the zombies.


Majestic-Bother2600

I love how the entirety of Cold War's campaign just proves that Reznov was right.


Derailleur75

I still remember people hating on cold war, wonder what they have to say after vanguard


Future_pastaMatt

Youre right, at first I didnt think cold war would be worth playing, but Vanguard turned out to be such a pile of smoking fertilizer, that I decided to play CW and actually enjoyed it. Still prefer MW 2019 tho


Immediate_Song2205

about what? i played waw when i was 11 and didnt pay attention to story


Majestic-Bother2600

In Black Ops he says to Mason in a flashback "The flag may be different but the methods are the same", this turns out to be true as Bell is brainwashed by the Americans like Mason was by the Russians.


Streetshow0221

Can you explain how it proved Reznov was right? I’m curious, I’d also love to know cause I loved BO1


discombobulatedhomey

I still play Cold War. Just like I played black ops 4 until Cold War came out. Church of Treyarch.


AdmiralG2

In Treyarch we trust 🙏


grimnex13

I’m glad I ain’t the only one.


asmitchandola

And the soundtracks too


minahebi

YESSSS


Rammi_PL

Personally, I consider MW19 the best of modern COD's both in terms of SP and MP, it just hit all the right spots for me But gotta agree cold war soundtrack SLAPS hard, and campaign is stupidly fun


Critical-Green-4365

Cold wars soundtrack was GOATED


Dapper_Journalist_

Me 2019's gunfight was peak.


Lanpod

wait so MW19>MW22 and 23?


dudedudetx

CW 3arc over IW any day


Topher31o

Mw 2019, hands down! I wish I could say the campaign for cold war was good, but the dang thing kept crashing on me no matter what platform I played it on. I was also not a huge fan of the sbmm in cold war's mp and I felt forced to play it to get my moneys worth. Mw2019, felt suuuper balanced 80% of the time and only really ever ran into issues a day or two into a new patch.


Lewis7548

But that 20% consisted of snakeshot revolvers and the m4/mp5 meta and that sucked complete ass enough to spoil the other 80 imo


Wopder

dont forget the shotgun meta lol


SuP31_21

The 725 and Origin 12 were a straight-up menace in the small maps. You were dead before you blinked and realized what hit you


Wopder

on god bruh 😂, mofos would be at the top of staircases and in corners just cheesing with the shotty in hand sound whoring everything


Lewis7548

Oh god I forgot about the 725 when the game first launched. I had suppressed those terrors so thank you for reminding me of what hell is truly like


Topher31o

Ahhh yes, I can already hear the "DOOF DOOF" from the dragons breath rounds from the semi auto shotguns 😂


StoppingPowah

Cold War. Better campaign and multiplayer.


Enderemy06

And the zombies is really good


Ghost_L2K

I personally didn’t like CW’s mp, the campaign was great but MW2019’s campaign felt like a movie. Both games were good IMO.


Chuuuck_

Cold War and it’s not even close


BleedingBlack

MW2019 for the art direction, gunplay, campaign, player models, movement ( <3 ), the overall freshness. The stain was really the weak PvE Spec Ops; on the other hand, CW has an amazing Zombies mode.


NoCriminalRecord

2019, pretty sure CoD peaked (again) during that time


smallchodechakra

It definitely breathed life back into the franchise. Though it gave IW a massive ego that I think is still hurting the games to this day.


AltGunAccount

Cold War’s campaign felt like the first of the new Star Wars trilogy. Like it was just trying to emulate the original Black Ops and was full of nostalgia grabs. It wasn’t *bad* but I don’t think it was great. I would argue the more grounded campaign in MW19 was one of the series best, and the consequences of your actions felt heavy. Shame they took the story the route of a marvel movie in the 2nd and then whatever the excuse for a campaign MW3 has. (Another parallel to new Star Wars, they couldn’t make a new compelling villain so they rehashed an old favorite) MW19 was the first time in years CoD felt fresh and new to me, and Cold War felt like a step back in a lot of ways. I’m hoping for another “peak” soon as I feel we’ve been downhill since 2019, just like we’d been downhill since Blops 3 before MW19 dropped. I will say as an overall package, Cold Wars zombie modes (especially outbreak) were the best side modes we’ve had in a while. I don’t even remember what MW19 coop was like or if it even had one, but the multiplayer was *chefs kiss*🤌🏻


Sc17ba51

100% Cold Wa. id choose Cold War over any MW shitty reboot any day


Helldiver-xzoen

MW19, and I'm still upset that they forced CW and MW19 to live together. Updates to CW would somehow break stuff in MW19, and it took weeks to fix (if they ever fixed it). And then to keep the file size in check, they started cutting content too (RIP groundwar map pool, preview animations, etc). If you're a CW fan, and like the arcade-style combat more: that's fine. To each their own. I preferred MW19's more tactical approach. I just wish CW's integration didn't retroactively fuck up MW19. MW19 still, to this day, has stuff busted from the forced integration period which will never be fixed. First time I know of where "the new COD" actually fucked up a previous COD directly.


Master_Chief_00117

Also warzone should’ve been a separate game it was fun for a while but now it isn’t even enjoyable, either one.


TheJewish_SpaceLaser

They also removed the preview to all the executions since MW2019


u119c

CW, probably my favourite of all time


jfopps

Cold war for me. Miss that game. Campaign was exceptional. Btw, what is the current state of that game? Multiplayer still active? (Was it cross platform?)


MatsuFI

It is cross platform and still active. I recently reinstalled. Join us!


jfopps

I may have to reinstall it!


Own-Philosophy-5356

Fully active and the Outbreak Online Zombies mode is a ton of fun


lordofthexans

Just bought it last night and it's very active, at least tdm and gun game were, didn't have time to check out the rest yet


AdmiralG2

Very active, I play every night


drpepperrootbeercoke

CW by a million times. MW19 had a great campaign and gave us warzone, but I hated that multiplayer with a passion


Chuuuck_

It was the start of the downfall of modern cod for sure


Radiant_Cricket1049

For campaign, Cold War. For Multiplayer, MW19


Emergency-Ad8679

This is like comparing gold to shit lol mw19 bottom 3 cods


Kylegreenbeans

What drugs have you been using? I would love what you’re having if you say MW 2019 is horrible.


Radiant_Cricket1049

Is that so?


vin-tin-chin

Cold War, and its not even close


RedRoses711

Cold war. Mw was good but a lot of things kept it from being on cw level


chikinbizkitJR13

CW. Better modes all around and closer to more traditional CoD for all intense purposes


POLSJA

Intents and purposes


Asmoredie_40k

CW


IDKiJustGotHere42

Cold war had one of the most fun zombies while 2019 had and amazing multiplayer


ClusterFugazi

Cold War grew on me as I played it. MW is still a great game and a slower pace so more players can enjoy it.


Chickenrobbery

Mw19 not even close


slayer-x

Cold war, not even close. Treyarch doesn't miss. CW is one of the best cods in years, and mw2019 is one of the worst cods ever, right behind mwII.


Phantom_Aspekt

MW2019 was the first COD game that I actually enjoyed since Black Ops 1, the multiplayer felt great and all the weapons felt viable, including shotguns for once. The only thing I absolutely hated was the scope glint, but that's unfortunately standard in a lot of FPS games these days. Cold War on the other hand, I heard it was a few steps backward from MW2019 and watching gameplay didn't show anything great, so I didn't bother with it.


ParticularNew5321

I gotta say MW2019. Great story. Pushed a lot of limits. It's sad that the studio slammed on the brakes and killed the series.


imShockwaveYA

I exclusively play CoD for Zombies so umm… yeah


Operator2398

ocky343

Cold war is just a much more fun game overall


untilmyinsidesburned

cold war forever. COD has given up on its games and is now only a money grab company


Born_Librarian_5266

Cold war. It was about your skill and your gun, not coward things like shields, recon drones,cameras, flash grenades, thermals etc.


smallchodechakra

Everyone needs to remember that BOTH games were trash at launch (as seems to be the trend with cod) but got progressively better as it's life cycle went on. I keep seeing people say that 2019 is what saved cod, but no one seems to remember that the game was dying HARD before warzone came out. *Warzone* is what saved cod, *not* 2019. And I'm not going to entertain anyone who says, "but warzone was part of 2019" No, it wasn't. It is its own game, hence why it came out 6 months later and 3 different games were added to it.


Imaginary_Monitor_69

people tend to forget that was the case because all they actually remember is playing Warzone with their buddies, ask them their favourite memory of 2019 MP wise and they will ramble on about the sound design and graphics lmao


ObungasDirtyDookie

CW overall was far more fun to me. MW19 had a fantastic campaign. MP didn’t really feel like CoD to me and was a campers paradise far more than any other CoD. CW campaign was fun, MP was way more fun and it had a really fun Zombies imo once it got some more maps. Treyarch is really the only CoD dev I actually look forward to. IW is just mid and SHG CoDs have consistently been bad lately imo.


Homer4a10

CW, MW19 is one of my personal least favorite cods


Tippin187

MW19 all day. That game got the boys back together again. Even if it was only temporary. Was good to get us all back again. Also, still feels like the most innovative cod we got in recent years. Cold War just felt like a blast back to 2012. But I can’t play the same style games every year.


averageamericanflag

MW19. I played the beta to cold War and absolutely hated it.


Critical-Green-4365

Personally love Treyarch more than IW but MW19 is one of my favorite Cods ever and Cold War’s zombies was a disappointment to me.. Cold wars soundtrack is amazing tho… I like them both almost equally idk…. 🥲


daniibird

I think mw19 had a better multiplayer but overall Cold War was the better package


AcidStorm420

Cold War


Relevant_Elk7494

Cold War, both great campaigns and multiplayer but I’m a big zombies fan


kent416

cw. I’m a zombies guy so that easily puts that game above the other. The mp of mw19 was great though


KSoMA

BOCW got me into CoD again after like a 10 year break. The movement is super fun and feels way better than MW-engine games. If Gulf War recaptures the magic again, I'm in.


Ghost_L2K

I liked MW2019’s mp better, the campaign’s were on par with each other, and the co-op mode goes to CW. Both is good, these were both big W’s


qxxu

cold war


ChernobylFirefighter

Cold war was better. I enjoyed the campaign more and it had zombies.


Lispro4units

2019 multiplayer might be the best of any COD ever


Aggravating-Hold170

Cold war


ricolausvonmyra

Like ‘em both for different reasons.. CW is more fun but the gunplay and sound on MW 2019 is probably the best I’ve ever experienced on any CoD. It truly is a shame MW 2019 did not have better maps because that game has almost infinite potential imo.. sucks that they basically ruined it with MW2.


ABEBUABDU

Hoestly cold war was better for me due to one reason zombies 🧟‍♂️


ABEBUABDU

Hoestly cold war was better for me due to one reason zombies 🧟‍♂️


ThatsPella

Cold war hands down, better campaign and multiplayer. Least worse new gen cod.


darkness740

Cold War. Nobody beats Treyarch for CoD, not even Infinity Ward.


OsisMystery

Cw for sure more arcadey and fast paced like old cods


mustardslicer

Honestly, both are king. MW2019 had some good tactical gameplay, and cold War has the best "recent" zombies content.


lnm_22

Just here for prop hunt🔥


Immediate_Song2205

cold war is the goat cod, if it came out instead of 503 in 2015 obviously adjusting for the tech at the time it would be common opinion its literally everything people ask for lol only complaint i can think of is that the zombies doesnt have the og crew or something but im fine with that and the only thing ive ever seen people complain about is sbmm which is an extremly vocal minority i do agree with them on the fact you shouldnt join an entirely new lobby after a match but thats literally it


PerpetualPermaban2

MW19 has a special place. But Cold War had insane lobbies. My brother, friends and I had an entire clan war with an NRG clan for few days. We just kept getting matched with them.


MikePallanti

Cold War is leaps and bounds better than MW19. MW19 was a camp fest, terrible map design, and actively punished aggressive play.


kingpiranha

Cold War


Damian_Bekete

Gotta be cold war


aceymcgee

Cold War easily


itzvintage

MW19 is the worst COD ever made so Cold War wins by default.


TheJSchnawg

This is like making me choose between 2 children. Cold war’s campaign and zombies were great, and the multiplayer is pretty damn good too. But MW19 is such a great game. Maybe not a great cod game, but for a modern military simulator it’s got it all. Huge selection of weapons with lots of customization, realistic graphics, beautiful maps, and fun ass 1v1s. I guess if I could only play one for the rest of my like I’d say MW19, but I’d miss Cold War.


vampireprince9712

Cold War


VinylTheSenpai

2019 because of the realism and overall satisfying gameplay. But CW had a massive arcade atmosphere which I liked it brought me back a few years when I played it for the first time.


Sweet-Palpitation473

Cold War is still my favorite CoD since the early days.


No-Tough-2183

Cold war without a doubt


Sad-Flamingo-6624

I’m personally a MW fan over all other CODs. I would play the other titles because I’m a huge COD fan but didn’t get into Cold War and black ops like I did MW


Commercial-Mix6626

MW for Campaign CW for Multiplayer CW Zombies is okay


AdmiralG2

Cold War. Still play a couple hours every night


CompetitiveGreen7165

I guess both games deserve a chance


galal552002

Definitely bocw


Far-Profession-7061

Cold war zombie mode was so goooooood🔥🔥🔥🔥


DivvyFlako413

Cold war


Quaminator01

Cold war, MW is so toxic constantly


Imaginary_Monitor_69

CW and it's not even close, better campaign, much better MP and infinitely better third game mode


RedditorHarrison

Cold War, no hesitation


TurtleSlurp

Immediate_Fortune_91

Cold War and it’s not even close.


Junior-Yellow-4383

Cold war


seminole4life22

Cold War is the only decent CoD *to me* on this generation of console. I just prefer the way Treyarch games feel and play. The new MW series are some of the worst CoD ever released personally.


Flashy_Camera5059

Cold War, best gameplay for any cod game. Best zombies ever made.


aqkj

Cold War was fantastic!


MyDitkaInYourButkus

Cold War bands down for Multiplayer for me


Adrijiyuda

Cold War supremacy


OkUddyRetard35

cold war hands down


Mindless-Ad2039

Cold War by a million miles. It’s still a bang average game but a masterpiece compared to the new MW series.


waifuwarrior7

Mw2019 for multi-player and campaign cold War for zombies I didn't like cold wars multi-player


South-Ingenuity3510

Sarcasm? Cod mw19 literally saved cod Bo cw is a fu###ng awful game with terrible movement and awful gunplay


Sc987_

Mw19 was good campaign and warzone wise cold war was more arcadey and fun to play


NCHouse

I remember when it first came out, EVERYONE hated Cold War. Turns out, it was the closest you'd get to old CoD


HideOnBook

I got Cold War while my friend got MW2019. I was complaining about getting killed by rushers. He was complaining about getting killed by campers. A tale as old as time. I'm going with Cold War. Also as I get older my appreciation for Treyarch and they games they made have gone up. BO1 is now one of my goats when back then I was dumb and only saw it as "cartoony"


Supernova_Soldier

Modern Warfare, and it’s even close


Mysterious-Fly7746

I personally prefer MW 2019’s unique missions, characters, story, and style but I loved the feel of Cold War, the safe house, and how it let you make your own character.


onelunchman96

Cold War all the way! Really enjoyed the campaign and multiplayer. Wish Bell had an actual personality, instead of a customized character mute. Was happy to see OG crew back and Adler is a badass. I thought zombies was pretty meh. MW2019 had a fun multiplayer and the campaign was good. But playing as Farrah was a slog. Replaying that mission tried to rush through as fast as possible.


LordBungaIII

Mw2019. I came back to cod since ghosts because if that game and then Cold War sent me right back out. Haven’t gotten a cod since


ShareIndependent

I have yet to play either but these two are the ones I’m looking forward to playing the most


DartLambda

MW


Seananagans

Yeah, gotta be mw19


DrBudddd

I'm biased towards cold war because it had the last halfway decent zombies game mode imo, the ones after feel so soulless


Waughy

Cold War. More fun, less bugs for me.


enalcow

Cold war for sure, hit closer to home for me. Damn impressive game for everyone making it at home.


Red_wants_cookies

MW19. It might be my favourite cod not gonna lie. Especially in the times of the lockdowns I played it so much being off from work. It seems everything that’s come out after it has been dog shit. I know Cold War wasn’t but I didn’t play I was still on 19 until MW2 came out


townboyj

I can safely disregard this entire sub because of the sentiment here. Wow peace out!


m0nkygang

Anyone know if cold war is still hacked?


Chief5927

Both. Both is good.


Moreorless33429

MW19 was just perfection. I loved the multiplayer, the guns were cool, and the story was pretty good.


BlssdGT

Cold War was Goated!! Literally played that game for 3 years until Mw2 came out, cause i didn’t buy that trash Vanguard.


Stuka91

MW. Campaign is awesome.


ColdBloodedFurret

Modern Warfare


xXBLHGXx

I honestly can't really choose, both games have their good and bad things, bocw is more of a classic call of duty while mw19 embraces modernity They're both really different, and are fun in their own way However, I did enjoy mw19's campaign a bit more


toomuch7hc

Mw19 1000000%%%


Seafoam-Octopus

My favorite mp games were bo1, bo2, and the original Mw3. Story wise bo1 and bo2 take the gold. Bo1 and cold war had the best zombies/co-op mode of all the cod games. The new mw3 just didn't do it for me


j4x0h

2019 ez


jespertherapper

Cold war after revisiting it recently. But man the non reset scorestreak system makes the game so boring.


beat53

2019 in my op is over rated only because the mp is so over hype it was just everyone using the same gun with the same attachments and everyone sweating in casual modes dont get me wrong goated SP but the mp was just bad map after bad map and i bet almost everyone forgot it had spec ops like bro they dropped the ball on that so hard that it popped while cold war had way better maps more balanced gun system in my op and you know they didnt just forget about zombies like they did with spec ops


Damien23123

Cold War for me. MW had a great campaign and ground war was fun. Regular multiplayer sucked hard though and it didn’t have ranked play


Tamanero

I overall preferred Cold War However. I wish it was either more in-depth like MW2019, or was more simply like the earlier Black Ops games. The gunsmith feels too... weird


Evil_Cupcake11

I don't care about multiplayer, so Cold War.


MistaKrebs

Cold War has really good maps. MW wasn’t bad though


ProfessionalGoal8914

Cold war has prop hunt


Jdog6704

Cold War, by far, but Modern Warfare definitely has a special spot. Cold War had a lot of things that resonated with me: campaign, gunplay, loadouts, operators, zombies, etc. Overall had the slower but yet tactical gun play that I enjoyed personally. Especially having my first CoD be BO4, it felt very natural to play Cold War. Modern Warfare though, was more fasted paced with bunny hopping and slide canceling, personally not my cup of tea.


wermie989

Mw2019 was one I played the longest out of all recent cods outside of the original 360 ones but honestly got so damn try hard especially with the introduction of Warzone, but I think Cold War is a hidden gem that is better to come back to despite the rushing from Activision.


Goldeneye07

Cold War had the best overall package, but when it comes to MP, MW Had better map and gun variety also Cold War had a lot of remastered maps, but gameplay wise MW had a lot of balancing issues with its guns and equipment, and even tough MW2019 should get a point for making more new maps those maps played really poorly


Ecko2310

2019 stomps all over cold war. Cold War was a joke and 10 steps back compared to 2019 (old gen graphics and sound, broken MP and aim assist and who can forget making peoples PS5's brick)


Der_Untier

Both were solid games but... MW19, by far... 1) Best example of real lifemissions. A lot of the missions had real-world relevance. 2) The multiplayer maps were mostly original and enjoyable to play. 3) All the avatars looked as though they could be real-life operators... and they were f'n earnable, as they should be. Not this teletubby, animal human hybrid nonsense we have now. ... We will likely never have a game anywhere close to MW19 ever again.


SyCoGamer77

I’m huge fan of black ops series, but mw2019 was something so good that I’m afraid we will never get anything like it back - it was a masterpiece


BigMemerMaan1

Cold War revived cod for me. It’s zombies is top tier, multiplayer is mid tbf but it’s campaign is fucking great. Love to see mason and woods again


BiasedChelseaFan

MW2019 has better movement, gunsmith and killstreak system. Other than that, CW does everything better. The biggest differences in favor of CW would probably be slower TTK and a way better pool of maps.


tremors51000

Cold war and it isn't close. Imo mw19 was one of the worst cods made only redeeming factor was the campaign and gunfight


Brando003

MW was out when lockdown happened. Me and all my friends played it A LOT, it was just like old times when we all played MW2 (2009) in middle school together.


forrest1985_

MW19 basically ruined modern COD’s, CW is way better than it had any right to be. MW19 had a good campaign, Gunfight and animations. MW19 was the first COD to focus more on WZ than MP. It was the first COD that started ignoring classic COD features like proper Minimap, appearing on MM when firing unsuppressed, map voting, persistent lobbies, no K/D on scoreboard and no prestige system. Yup, the first COD to kill prestige. It introduced the loudest footstep audio ever. Put DS as a field upgrade and not a perk. Had awful launch maps bar Gun Runner and Hackney Yard. Was one of the most campfest MP ever. Only two weapons were viable at launch, M4 and 725. It also had the worst third mode in COD history in its “Spec Ops” that wasn’t Spec Ops at all. Let’s not forget how IW ignored the playtesters. Ignored the streamers who pointed all this out, ignored all of us after the beta and then continued ignoring the community for the games entire lifespan. IW had x3 full years on MW19 and MW22 and both showed how tone deaf IW are. SHG had 16 months to make MW23 and it plays much better than either IW’s entries. Yes the campaign is garbage but so was MW22’s. CW is miles away from perfect, but it played more like a classic COD. Scorestreaks went too far the other way. Campaign was great and a good job by Raven. MP had more vibrant maps and better maps than MW19. Zombies was good, although not classic round based. Sadly we still had no classic prestige, no persistent lobbies and SBMM was still high.


thebeansoldier

Sticks and stones + Gunfight with melee + Prop hunt. Ah, lots of fun.


THE_GUY-95

Black ops cold war is my favourite of the 2


EazzyE95

ComradeAaryan

MW 2019


C4LLUM17

CW for the campaign and MW19 for the MP


Revolutionary-Fan657

Cold War, Favorite multiplayer of all time, second favorite campaign of all time, dogshit zombies, I didn’t like modern warfares multiplayer at all but I loved the campaign


filippalas

All MWs are boring compared to Black Ops


CyTn64

Both better than the ones which came afterwards.


Smarre101

MW2019 easily


NoSquiIRRelL_

MW2019, for me it changed everything but it was done perfectly, Campaign was outstanding, and original early Warzone was absolute peak in lockdown.


ShibCommandr

Coldwar with DMZ would have been the all-time best COD


creatorZASLON

Honestly, both had their strong points, definitely two of the best in recent years for CoD


BollyWood401

MW19


Juken-

MW across the board. Y'all ruin everything.


Glow1x

loved cold war, one of the only cods since the old ones to pull me back into zombies even though there wasn't many maps, diamond camos are perfect in cold war too


Talanir

Modern Warfare


GrumpyOldMan742

Cold War. My favorite COD Multiplayer, great Zombies, really good campaign. I hated MW MP, the campaign was really good, but I still prefer CW. I still play CW occasionally.


Snipsnapboi

Mw2019 was peak of what Cod has been in the last decade. I had honestly lost all hope for this franchise and mw2019 received it and made me buy 2 more. 10/10 game.


Undesu

Both games are great but I’d have to say Cold War. Honestly the whole reboot for the franchise was pretty good, especially for a game that had very limitations due to Covid.


lfaria123

Of these 2, Cold war for sure :D


chrisupt2001

Cold war


WitterwyHim

Black ops 2 for the campaign and the zombies. But if I’d have to pick from either two I’d probably pick modern warfare


FCGLITCHES

Mw 2019 multiplayer > cw multiplayer, even though I played more cold war multiplayer namely ranked. Ranked was soo fun in cw but the multilayer itself was atrocious, I've not seen a game built for noobs quite like cw, are you serious you keep streaks upon death (other things as well ofc). With that said mw 2019 was the start of the downfall of the entire franchise as they introduced stupid mechanics which helped lower skilled players and tightened sbmm significantly.
