Black Ops has had some interesting weapons throughout the series and we're going to look at what should be added to Cold War, sure, no problem. These weapons on our list offer a bit of variety to the already well-established arsenal, and adding them with their Black Ops I profiles would certainly change up the game.

5 Retro Black Ops Weapons That Should be Added to Cold War

1. Scorpion (SMG)

The Scorpion SMG had a short firing range for its full damage potential, but at its height, it packed a punch. Running around with this weapon on Nuketown made it easy to engage in fight after fight with close-quarter damage and mobility. It was the only SMG, and one of two automatic weapons, to provide a two-shot kill damage output.

2. WA2000 (Semi-Auto Sniper)

Ironically, the WA2000 didn't exist in the time frame that Black Ops I took place. Nonetheless, this low recoil sniper rifle made its appearance and took redemption from its Modern Warfare 2 counterpart. Its low recoil, extended mag, ACOG, and a bit of updated graphics would be a warm welcome in Cold War.

3. Grim Reaper (Rocket Launcher)

The Grim Reaper was chaos incarnate. Being able to fire four rockets without having to reload or lock-on made it a powerhouse. It could only be obtained through a Care Package, so adding this weapon to Cold War should naturally be obtainable in a similar manner. Imagine using this weapon in Zombies.

4. Enfield (Automatic Rifle)

Stable and clean, the Enfield was a starting rifle for those who got their boots wet at level five. Its recoil pattern was easy to control, and the fire rate was slow enough to adjust right off the first couple of shots. While it did not do a lot of damage, it was accurate. Perfect for any beginner, or a casual player looking to make a solid contribution to the team.

5. Ballistic Knife (Special Weapon)

No other weapon in a Call of Duty game has been quite as unique as the Ballistic Knives. Granted, it does seem redundant to both shoot a knife and throw a knife, but come on. Everyone had fun with these Special Weapons.

Were any of these weapons on your list? With so many reiterations of old guns updated and improved, it's difficult to narrow down weapons that provide a different experience from what currently exists. Nonetheless, these five weapons would help diversify the gameplay a bit from the typical mid-long range additions that we've seen so far added to Cold War.
