There are multiple points where players can choose to throw that target off the roof as soon as he spills the beans, or players can capture him for further interrogation right there, changing the game's ending in its very first mission.ĭialogue trees are just one of the many departures from the Call of Duty norm that Treyarch has decided to make. Every dialogue choice has an effect on the game, from the innocuous to the explicitly obvious ones.

That being said, being able to actually get involved in the game's story is extremely welcome. "From its first mission, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War takes steps to demonstrate how it's differentiating itself from other titles."
