    Calling all Operators. Mission status is critical. As the NATO forces continue to deal with the fallout of Perseus’s attack on their satellite system, another war is brewing in the Dark Aether universe. We need all the help we can get.

    Free Access begins following the launch of Season Four Reloaded, starting on Thursday, July 22 at 10 AM PT through Thursday, July 29 at 10 AM PT. Warzone™ players will find all their Black Ops Cold War weapons and global-level progress intact within the trial, and any progress earned during the trial will carry right over to Warzone.

    Recruit your friends and squad up! There’s no better opportunity to get in on the action. During Free Access, download Black Ops Cold War on your preferred platform’s digital store. Here’s what’s included:

    Multiplayer

    NukeJacked 24/7, Party Games, Paintball Moshpit, and More

    Whatever your preference, we’ve got it. Fast and frenetic? Hit up the NukeJacked 24/7 playlist, featuring the Nuketown ’84 and Hijacked maps. Need that classic feel? Hop into Throwback Moshpit or spice things up with Party Games. For large-scale battles, try the 12v12 Moshpit or the 40-player Multi-Team Moshpit. And if you just want to keep it simple, there’s Team Deathmatch, too.

    Free Access also features Rush, recently released at the start of Season Four Reloaded. This remastered classic from Call of Duty®: Black Ops II is a small-sized 6v6 map that takes place in and around a speedball course. Test it out in the new Paintball Moshpit and Hardcore Paintball Moshpit playlists, featuring 6v6 action with paintball impact visuals and sound effects.

    Zombies

    “Mauer der Toten”

    Omega Group leader Colonel Lev Kravchenko is holding the Requiem agents hostage, and the only chance they have at survival is to follow his orders. Free Access includes the ability to deploy to “Mauer der Toten,” the next chapter in the Dark Aether story and the latest round-based Zombies map. Navigate through an undead-infested Berlin, where you’ll encounter new horrors at every turn.

    “Die Maschine” and “Firebase Z”

    See where it all began with full access to “Die Maschine” and “Firebase Z,” establishing the foundation of the Dark Aether story in Black Ops Cold War. Turn on the power, beef up with Perks, upgrade your weapons at the Pack-a-Punch machine, and hope for the best every time you hit up the Mystery Box. There’s plenty of slaying to be had.
