Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is currently experiencing some server issues, an issue that both players and Activision are well aware of by then. While players took to social media to regret that the servers were having issues again with Activision responding from the various support accounts to confirm that there is indeed an outage and that the issue is under investigation. The server issues are currently affecting all platforms Black Ops Cold War is available with no indication of when the issues will be resolved.
The Black Ops Cold War issues started Tuesday afternoon in the last hour or so, leading players to take to social media for answers. Activision Support’s Twitter account, which typically reports these types of issues, has responded similarly to acknowledge the outage and redirect players to the server statuses page for various games under Activision’s jurisdiction. That page for Black Ops Cold War similarly acknowledges the outage and says it affects all platforms.
Hello, sorry for the problems: Black Ops Cold War has server connection problems. You can always check the server statuses here: https://t.co/76LU5kWRim Keep an eye on the server page, please wait and get in touch if we can help you more. ^ BT

“We are currently experiencing connectivity issues,” said the message on Activision’s support page at 12:31 p.m. PST. “This incident is under investigation.”
As is the case with any of these types of outages, there is no telling at this point when the problem will be resolved, but the problems usually don’t persist for too long. That same server status page with the message above or the Activision Support account mentioned earlier is probably the best way to get more information, as more information will become available about when the issue (s) will be fixed.
In the meantime, you can familiarize yourself with some of the upcoming Call of Duty events while you wait for the servers to come back online. Most of the events on the horizon relate to Call of Duty: Warzone instead of Black Ops Cold Warbut with news of a Zombies crossover dominating the Call of Duty communities in the past week or so. There should be some sort of Zombies event in War zone that will potentially trigger a cataclysmic explosion that will alter the map, but details on that have been downgraded to teasers and supposed leaks for now.
