An Overview Of Call of Duty Black Ops
Fans of the Call of Duty franchise certainly won't find themselves disappointed by Treyarch and Activision's seventh release of the CoD franchise. Released for the X-Box 360, PC, Nintendo Wii and DS, and Playstation 3, Black Ops is a first-person shooter that plays out during the Cold War, giving you the choice from a broad assortment of weapons, including exciting new additions with even more amazing ammunition Black Ops outdid its forerunner, Modern Warfare 2 in it's opening week – selling nearly a million copies more!
There are many new exciting locations for you to fight through, including Cuba, Russia, and Laos, and is as much a revolutionary progression forwards from Modern Warfare 2 as Modern Warfare was for Call of Duty 2. Though the controls are all familiar to those who have played the CoD franchise for years, there is a lot more stealth involved in Black Ops than any game in the series to date.
But the real meat and potatoes of any Call of Duty game, and especially the more recent ones, is of course, Multiplayer – and the hallmark of any great multiplayer game is it's ability to make multiple hours disappear when you pick up the control; often without your notice. The new zombie multiplayer mode is as much fun and engaging as it is slightly silly.
It's obvious that this portrayal of the Cold War is only a fictional mock-up, but it is certainly entertaining. The gigantic explosions, story arcs and twists, and the ‘missions' all point to a colorful re-imagining of what things might have been like if the Cold War had played out like an explosive action movie. It's easy to separate the fact from the fantasy, but that doesn't change the fact that there are certain lines and scenes that are gripping and meant to evoke a visceral emotional reaction, especially the scenes of torture.
Black Ops is both a cinematic and gaming success, artfully rendered and though out, with the masterfully thought out storyline that only a big name studio and a lot of investment behind you can create. The storyline may be a bit faster paced than previous Call of Duty games, but this doesn't detract from the game; instead of a single goal that you work towards for an extended amount of time, you may find yourself flowing from goal to goal without much time to pause and wonder in between – a certainly thrilling experience for me that I highly recommend for all first-person shooter fans!
