Reddit user killer402402 recently posted an image asking a direct question toCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Wardevelopers. This player wants to know why the Makarov did not make it into the game despite being a widely used weapon during the Cold War era. As they investigated further, they noticed the Makrov is modeled within the game, yet many of the enemies are seen using the American-made 1911 handgun. The player compares not having a Makrov to removing the M1 Garand from a World War 2-themed title, leaving the game lacking a core historical element.
Fans immediately assume the lack of theMakarov pistol is due to its appearance inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare.With the game’s armories combining inCall of Duty: Warzone,doubling up on weapons could become a dangerous pattern for the developers.
While this may be the core reason, it still digs into a major flaw for theCall of Dutyfranchise.Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warfans expected historical accuracy after the massive build-up from its reveal. The developers put a lot of detail intoits Easter egg reveal puzzles, and yet the game itself lacks some core items from the era.
Some players believe that there could have been a deeper issue involved. WithCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warkeeping other era details forefront, it is not likely Treyarch simply forgot about the Makarov. While the reason for its disappearance will be unknown for the moment, fans are beginning to see more cracks in the game’s historical details.
