Its seriously one of the best shows ever. The ending is still getting to me after watching it two months ago
Yep, I still think about the ending.
Spoiler
The scene in the garage with them and Stan was amazing. Him choosing their friendship over his sworn duty was very powerful. I didn't expect it. The only thing I think they missed the boat on, was when Elizabeth and Philip were standing together in Russia at the very end and she calls him Philip, she should have called him by his birth name.
"The iconic Black Ops series is back with Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War – the direct sequel to the original and fan-favorite Call of Duty®: Black Ops.
Black Ops Cold War will drop fans into the depths of the Cold War’s volatile geopolitical battle of the early 1980s. Nothing is ever as it seems in a gripping single-player Campaign, where players will come face-to-face with historical figures and hard truths, as they battle around the globe through iconic locales like East Berlin, Vietnam, Turkey, Soviet KGB headquarters and more.
As elite operatives, you will follow the trail of a shadowy figure named Perseus who is on a mission to destabilize the global balance of power and change the course of history. Descend into the dark center of this global conspiracy alongside iconic characters Woods, Mason and Hudson and a new cast of operatives attempting to stop a plot decades in the making.
Beyond the Campaign, players will bring a Cold War arsenal of weapons and equipment into the next generation of Multiplayer and Zombies experiences.
Welcome to the brink. Welcome to Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War."

I've been all in on Warzone so obviously I an hoping for a major Cold War update for that. Obviously they have to do a new map, right?!
Not sure I'll get the full paid game. Maybe if the campaign is worth it. Then again I can do game share and only pay $30 for it. I was out of the loop on COD for years. Does the gameplay of Block Ops vary from the Infinity Ward games?
