It's that time of year again, and a new Call of Duty has dropped to dominate the multiplayer market, this time with the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. However, one promising aspect on PC, an HD texture pack, wasn't one of the features arriving with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War when the game launched, instead requiring an additional download.
While the settings menu does offer a link to download the texture pack, the path to getting the highest quality settings for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is a little less clear that players would like. Fortunately, this is a handy guide for players looking to get the HD textures and jump into the game with the best visuals available.

In order to quickly pick up Cold War's HD textures, players just need to find the game settings in the Battle.net app and select modify install twice before checking the box for the High-Resolution Assets in the Install Content list. The path isn't very intuitive, and the game will have to be closed in order to download the extra files, but once it has completed, then players will be able to adjust their settings to the highest quality available. This texture pack is fairly large as well, requiring a 45 GB installation, which might be the reason that the additional HD settings don't download automatically thanks to the over 80 GB file size of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War on PC.
Grabbing the download itself is relatively simple, although some players have been confused about how to pick it up since the in-game instructions just shuts off the game, which can easily be mistaken for a crash. Any players who haven't begun the download yet and would like to grab the HD texture pack may want to download these separate textures right away, instead of having to jump through the hoops the game presents. Considering how the updated textures make Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's maps and models appear, it's certainly worth the extra effort for anyone with a PC that can run the game at optimal settings.
For this update, there will be a download size of approximately 8.1 - 13.1 GB for Black Ops Cold War and 25.2 - 25.9 GB for owners of the free-to-play Warzone who have the latest updates on either game.
Set against the background of the Cold War in the 1950s in Poland, Berlin, Yugoslavia and Paris, the movie is about two people of different backgrounds and temperaments, who are fatefully mismatched and yet condemned to each other.
Well, first off, the cinematography was not underrated. It is incredibly beautiful in a way that American Filmmakers have almost seemed to forget. We live in an era of cinema where color and computer graphics are our main tools for communicating at the theater. We want bigger (IMAX), louder/immersive (Atmos), and flashy/bright/color epileptic seizure inducing displays of digital fireworks.Don't get me wrong. I love a movie that blends those things effectively, but there is a simple beauty to a black and white, 4x3 frame. The main thing I see in this sort of film is light. With no color to distract you, the emphasis of the film revolves around areas of light and dark.The diffuse soft light of the cold air in winter and a stand of trees gains a mystical quality sometimes as the snow which clings to the dark trunks of trees seems to disappear into the distant fog. The hard light of a night club is seen for what it is, small sliver of light in a darkness that people long to disappear into and can't seem but help to be consumed by."Cold War" uses this light effectively as neither the star of the show nor a simple utilitarian instrument. It communicates an emotion that can't be portrayed through acting or production design alone.The story is a classic one. A couple, torn apart by the love that binds them together and the forces of the world which conspire to keep them apart. Honestly, it's the main weakness of the film. I don't begrudge it that hard though. It was made by a Polish director and this is his own country's history and I'm sure there is a reason that that the war torn romance is a classic of literature and cinema. People identify with it.In "Cold War," Zula is a young woman trying out for a Polish Heritage singing and dancing troupe. Wiktor is the director and, upon her first audition, he is intrigued by her. As they work together the troupe gains popularity till the state expresses interest in sponsoring the show. Wiktor doesn't like the control that the state is exerting over his art so he plots with Zula to escape Communist rule through Berlin.They agree, but Zula gets cold feet and doesn't meet him at the rendezvous, opting instead to stay in Poland. The rest of the film revolves around a romance that only finds expression in passing as her career eventually takes her out of Poland and the the two of them reconnect and struggle with life abroad."Cold War" isn't a film for everyone. It's a little slow and reserved. The passion of their love is very muted, seeming more like passing interest at times than a fiery love affair and that makes it hard to connect with the characters at times.Slow Cinema is seeing a bit of a resurgence right now, though, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to check out a highly acclaimed movie which exemplifies this style without falling into the trap of a 3 hour runtime as many slow cinema films do.At a tight hour and a half, there are few people who can't afford to see something a little outside of their comfort zone. I certainly enjoyed it and more so even as I think about the film and the themes it presents once I left the theater.
It's 1949 Poland. Wiktor is auditioning for performers in a folk music trope. He argues for beautiful blonde peasant Zula and they fall madly in love. She would become a star as the trope tours around the communist block. The two star-crossed lovers struggle through the Cold War.The black and white photography is beautiful. The performances are great. The disjointed way of story telling is a little problematic with the subtitles. It can feel a bit rushed as the movie jumps in years. The emotions are not lost but I could spend more time with this melodrama. I almost miss bit of the story as the telling jumps around. It's the style of the movie. The brutal melodrama is matched by the abrupt style. Overall, this harsh world is very interesting.

Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula may as well be the end of the Earth. Its enormously wild landscape is swarming with bugs and bears and threaded with rivers full of massive mouse-eating trout. In this little movie, fishing is poetry, Bigfoot lurks in the fog and fishermen hitch rides in decommissioned Cold War helicopters to explore remote rivers, some of which had never been fished before.

Let me start out by saying that "Cold War II" from 2016 was just every bit as entertaining as the first "Cold War" movie from 2012. And with that being said, take it for what it was. If you liked the first movie, then you will also like the sequel, and if you didn't, then chances are that you will not like this movie either.I found it to be adequately entertaining, although it wasn't particularly outstanding or memorable - just as the first movie had been."Cold War II" continues on a short time after the events of the first movie, and we see familiar characters return to the screen in this sequel. And having established characters return was a good thing.However, it just felt as if directors Lok Man Leung and Kim-Ching Luk set out wanting to accomplish too much with "Cold War II" and only delivering on about half of this.There was just a sense of it all being too rushed and forced, as well of an element of too much chaos going on. Which didn't really help the movie in any way.As in the first movie, "Cold War II" does have some impressive names to the cast list, including Aaron Kwok, Tony Ka Fai Leung and Yun-Fat Chow."Cold War II" failed to make a lasting impression and also failed to stand out in the Hong Kong cinema. Surely, it was an entertaining enough movie, but it is hardly one that you will be watching a second time around.My rating of "Cold War II" ends on five stars out of ten, similar to the first movie. 2ff7e9595c
