Call of Duty: Black Ops






This game is probably my favorite Call of Duty. Mostly because it takes place durring Vietnam, and has one of the most thought out campaigns of any Call of Duty. Instead of the typical linear shooter game that Call of Duty usually is, this game is different. The campaign really makes you think and the cutscenes between levels and things are very well done. The game did turn off a lot of Call of Duty people because it didn't have and easy to understand-shoot everyone story.


A lot of people also said that the graphics were crappy and poorly done, but when you campare it to the other Call of Dutys, they aren't bad at all. And everything doesn't explode when you shoot it, so thats an improvment from Modern Warfare 2. Also the mutiplayer level designs are good and are balanced, unlike the Modern Warfare games, which I hate about them.


Another thing is tghe Zombies mode. I know several people who bought Black Ops just for the Zombies mode. I personally like both the multiplayer and Zombies modes, but the only problem is trying to find a game that has a good enough host, especially in Zombies. In multiplayer the host conections are usually good/ok, but sometimes you will randomly lag and it usually results with you getting shot and killed because you could not move and other things. Usually is something happens with the host connnection it will migrate hosts, to a new player. This ism't the case in Zombies though.


Zombies is fun to play, usually. Some times someone will quit because they died, which is really annoying. Most of the time the person that gets killed is the one that runs off on his own thinking he can hadle the zombies, and then gets downed becuase he can't, and then no one can revive him becuase there are to many zombies in the path of you to him. And since he ran off across the level, there ins't enough time to kill the zombies that are in your way and get all the way to him. Then he dies, and "rage-quits" because noone got him up. S0 then you are left with only 3 other people (usually you play with 4 people, sometimes 3, and rarely 2) and still have the number of zombies to count for 4 people, not 3. So in the end, he skrews you over in 2 ways :( and becuase the host doesn't migrate, so if the hosts connection is crap, you will lag a lot and if the host quits, the game will end.


I would give this game a 9.5/10 for the campaign, my only problem is that there is no co-op campaign, I would give Zombies an 8/10 because it is fun but finding a good match with good players and a good host is sometimes hard to do, and becuase of random lag that usually gets you downed. And I give the multiplayer an 8/10 becuase of the lag and because a lot of the BS that gets you killed, and it may sound silly to say this, but it will often make you frustrated because of how annoying it is.


I like this trailer becuase of the song...go Rolling Stones! and Vietnam!

Modern Warfare 2




I know most people played this game already, especially since Modern Warfare 3 already came out and most people bought that game. Everyone I know like Modern Warfare 2 and says it is one of the best games they have ever played. I have to disagree. I personally didn't like this game that much. The campaign was pretty fun I guess, but I could not stand the multiplayer for several reasons.


Everyone says the multiplayer in this game was "AMAZING" and realistic. The problem with the multiplayer is that everything explodes in some way or another. If you shoot something, it makes sparks everywhere, or it makes dust fly EVERYWHERE. And then you have the grenade spam, I mean, people throw grenades across the level and always kill someone. Not to mention the “Noobtubes” and how people spam those and how the “Scavenger” perk gives them more Noobtubes to spam.


The saddest part about this game is that the people who play it think it is reralistic. It most definitely isn’t. The only realistic part is the way the guns look, that ALL. Because of Call of Duty, people think that the Desert Eagle, a 50 cal. Hand gun, is used by the military, and it isn’t. It was made for competitive shooting to compete with larger rifles. The other sad thing is that the people that play this game is the next generation of military people.


The campaign was like an action movie more than a realistic military simulation. So any and everyone who says it is realistic is stupid, and probably from Texas. I would say this game gets a 7/10 because it wasn’t that cool, most of the people that like these kinds of games only like them to be like everyone else, or aren’t educated enough to realize it isnt realistic.


Here is a trailer that I made some time ago, personaly I think its pretty good :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ-YL3jfA7A

this is all that is wrong with CoD Mod2

Modern Warfare 3








I just bought Modern Warfare 3 at 10 in the morning (That’s when the store opened). Since I'm not quite 17 yet... I asked someone tho buy the game for me, with my money. And he did, and it was cool. And I had to ride my bike 40 minutes the BestBuy in order to het the game... and 40 minutes back, so if I couldn't find someone who would buy it for me I would not have been happy. Also I have never done this for any game before, and I only went because my friend begger me to get it ASAP and that was the only convienient time to go.



'Anyway’ on to the game. So I thought the campaign was pretty awesome especially at the end. It felt like i was playing Modern Warfare 1 and 2 at the same time. I personally didn't like Modern Warfare 2 because they over did everything with cinematics . Modern Warfare 3 was over the top too, but I kinda stopped over analyzing it and pointing out all the physics and stuff that they didn’t have right (AND SOME OF THE STUFF BOTHERED ME SO MUCH!).



The multiplayer feels like you’re playing Modern Warfare 2 with different weapons and slightly different levels. But personally, it felt repetitive and sometimes boring. They added new “Kill Streaks” and you can set different “Kill Streaks” to different classes. As much as people didn’t like Call of Duty: Black Ops, I personally think that the “Perk” tiers are better and the get “Pro-Perks” makes you do several things, but in Modern Warfare 3, you don’t have to try and get the Pro-Perks, as you just kind of get them without trying.



Over All the game is fun, but it’s just another Call of Duty game, so if you can play one, you have mastered them all. Modern Warfare 3 does have new game modes and stuff, but it’s basically Modern Warfare 2, all over again. But I would have to give this game a 8/10 for multiplayer and a 9/10 for solo campaign, because the ending was pretty awesome and the story is pretty cool.
