Call of Duty players have plenty to dive into during Season 3 of Black Ops Cold War. One of the more unique content additions is an array of classic arcade games that the community can enjoy in the game’s multiplayer section.

There is plenty of adrenaline-fueled action that players can partake in when they play everything Season 3 of Black Ops Cold War offers, like the new Ballistic Knife. However, it never hurts to sit back and relax with some more laid-back gaming adventures.

Once you have decided which of the above titles you would like to play, hover over it and click with your mouse or press X (Playstation) or A (Xbox) to start playing.

Each game’s description gives you a rundown and how to play it exactly, so you are not in the dark when it comes to figuring out how to play these classic adventures.

It remains to be seen how many of these Treyarch will add to its latest entry in the high-profile franchise, but it would not be surprising to see other titles be added during future seasons.

When you are done with these, get ready to hop back into multiplayer with the best loadouts for the PPSH submachine gun and Swiss K31 sniper rifle and dominate your enemies.
