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!
