With the upcoming Call of Duty video game, players will finally get to see the inclusion of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and maybe the militant leader Osama Bin Laden. That’s one of the things for fans to get excited for; the other remains the return of iconic character Viktor Reznov, the hallucinatory friend of Alex Mason from the Black Ops series.
But it won’t be fun until he is again voiced by the veteran industry actor, Gary Oldman. The Darkest Hour actor voiced the character in the first two Black Ops games, but Piotr Michael, who also voiced Jason Hudson in Cold War, took the mantle in 2018 for Black Ops 4.
Fans Already Know Who The Best Voice Actor in Call of Duty is Reznov and Petrenko making their way through the city of Stalingrad.

Gaming franchises have rough phases to deal with, it’s common. Call of Duty happens to be among them now, and the so-called Black Ops Gulf War should be its savior.
After the poor reception of Modern Warfare 3, fans are hoping they don’t have to face the same scenario as with the latest installment. While open combat missions in the game caught the players off guard, the backlash from the community caught developers off guard.
Black Ops Gulf War May Have What it Takes to be Triumphant
Netizens have been hearing the rumors about the next game in the franchise, and it too is likely to embrace the open world like Modern Warfare 3. It may not only sound like music to the fans’ ears but also stir up a hornet’s nest.

Although Call of Duty is undoubtedly the most recognisable name in and outside the industry, recent entries in the franchise have lost the magic the old games possessed. The earlier titles transformed the Fps genre as we know it, blending awe-striking campaigns with multiplayer modes you could sink hours into.
Today’s Call of Duty is dramatically different, with a much larger focus on multiplayer and live-service elements than the campaigns. Last year’s Modern Warfare 3 was a prime example of this, with its confusingly short, lacklustre singleplayer mode that faced industry-wide ridicule. Needless to say, the older CoDs still rank above the newer ones, and we’ve put together the top five.

It’s hard to get excited about a new Call of Duty game after 16 years of consecutive releases, but a bigger emphasis on stealth in Black Ops Cold War’s campaign and a couple of enjoyable new multiplayer modes prove that this annual franchise can still hang with the best.
While part of the Black Ops subseries, you don’t need to be familiar with the previous games to enjoy Cold War’s single-player campaign. Alex Mason, the protagonist from the first two Black Ops’ games returns for a few missions, but you’ll be playing as your own created character for most of the adventure. After an adrenaline-pumping opening chase sequence set in Turkey, you’ll get to choose your character’s gender, background, and two extra skills from a “psychological” profile. These skills include perks like extra health or faster reload speed. It’s a cool concept, but...

A new trailer revealed at Gamescom 2020 gives us our first look at the mission briefing that sets off the events of Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War. A Russian spy codenamed “Perseus” wants to win the Cold War for the Soviet Union, but Ronald Reagan has a plan to stop him. Vital to the plan are the characters of the very first Black Ops installment: Hudson, Woods, and Mason. Also introduced in the trailer is a new operative who many confused for Robert Redford and Brad Pitt during the game’s initial reveal. The guy’s name is actually Russell Adler.
Once you get past how horrifying CGI Reagan looks in this game, check out the new story trailer below:

This year’s Call of Duty could be making a return trip to the Cold War period, it seems.
An extensive leak appearing yesterday over on Reddit by user SunnyMatrix claims that information was provided to them by a “source that is involved in primarily screenwriting for television and film,” though notes that the individual is often recruited by video game publishers in the capacity of a consultant to review story drafts and scripts. There is, of course, no way to verify whether those assertions are true, though the thread in question has already gained a considerable amount of attention regardless.
As was the case with last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, SunnyMatrix’s source claims that 2020’s installment will deliver another so-called soft reboot, this time in the form of Treyarch’s Black Ops subseries. The studio is already known to be leading development this time around,...
