Call of Duty: Black Ops Comprehensive Analysis
It must admit that
Call of Duty: Black Ops is a best-selling first-person shooter. The video game used less than 24 hours to sale more than 7 million units in the U.S.and the U.K - Only the first day that Activision published it.
Treyarch, the developer of the last three
Call of Duty series make its best for players in the newest game. Have passed through the nuclear explosion in
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and prisoner rescue in
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, what amazing things can Call of Duty: Black Ops bring to us?
Call of Duty: Black Ops releases three new set of signature highs which including: guiding a missile towards a fleeing experimental rocket, engaging in urban combat while a destructive nerve gas fills the streets, and even running through a field of numbers in the darkness. You can say that it's a
shooting game or an action movie or even an explosion film. What's it? Some people impatient to experience excitedly and some people thumb their nose. Is it a successful game? The review will give the latest member of Call of Duty family - Call of Duty: Black Ops a comprehensive analysis. Have a look.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Storyline
Call of Duty: Black Ops takes its story during the
Cold War. The story focuses on CIA-backed clandestine black operations carried out behind enemy lines. These missions take place in various locations around the globe such as the Ural Mountains in central Russia, Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Becomes A Milestone
Call of Duty: Black Ops Campaign
The campaign of
Black Ops puts players neck deep in the close-up brutality of combat. Limbs shatter disgustingly as bullets rip apart flesh and bone. Gore flies in all directions as combatants are popped like meat balloons by the vicious weaponry of the '60s. In one uncomfortable sequenurece, the player has to tort a restrained prisoner. This is an emphatically mature game (in the ESRB sense, anyway). Everyone should make their own judgment on what they are comfortable with, but
Black Ops crossed more player their own line in its bloody depictions of violence, particularly the torture sequence. Loyal fans weren't able to compartmentalize it as enjoyable cartoon violence like they have with so many games over the years. The realistic gore is distasteful in the absence of a discussion of what should be a careful decision to employ lethal force. It sounds that
Treyarch isn't trying to put on a
morality play here, but Black Ops pushes the lines of good taste.
Single-player and Multiplayer
The
Call of Duty series has always flaunted its
single-player on creating spectacular moments that players haven't stopped enthusing for years. It didn't matter if you couldn't remember the name of the faceless Army Ranger you're playing as, because they just dropped an EMP on the White House! Black Ops flips this equation around. The story is coherent, and the characters are more than cardboard cutouts.
Standpatter wanted to keep playing to find out how the plot ends up; not just seeing what crazy situation is around the next corner. On the other hand, as Black Ops makes gains in characterization and storytelling, it loses spectacle. Outside of the excellent prison break level, the "wow" moments fall flat. Even blowing up what appeared to be half of Vietnam with an attack chopper failed to elicit much of a response from me beyond making me swear at the controls. Far too much of the roughly seven-hour campaign is spent running through the same
pop-and-shoot motions we've been doing for years. Be sure to stick around after the credits, though – the best bit of the game is hidden there.
Fortunately, Treyarch carries the best feature of single-player mode to online play, where the faster pace fosters a certain detachment from the violence. For players' money, Treyarch has crafted the finest Call of Duty
multiplayer game to date. The imaginative maps offer great variety in size, aesthetics, verticality, and paths. The core design is largely unchanged; it features the same modes, perks, and a similar arsenal to
Modern Warfare. The action is as responsive, technically impressive, and engrossing as it has been since Infinity Ward pioneered it three years ago. However, Treyarch has made a ton of improvements in the margins. Unlocking new perks in the order you want rather than a pre-set sequence is just the start.
Special Recommendation Zombies Mode
It is a four-player online and two-player split screen
co-op mode (which can also be unlocked online). In the map "Five", players take the roles of John F.Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Robert McNamara, and Fidel Castro as they fight zombies at The Pentagon.
The
fan-favorite Zombies mode returns as well, with players cooperating against the undead hordes on two vastly different maps. It works well enough; segments of the community obviously feel differently. fans do love the secret zombie-themed minigame – Geometry Wars with zombies, more or less – and its four-player
online co-op, though.
Call of Duty: Black Ops quite probably represents the pinnacle of the linear military shooter experience – and you wonder where the sub-genre can go from here. Treyarch's game is exhilarating and beautifully orchestrated, but it feels like a full-stop, it needs to be a full-stop, because toward the end of the campaign, bombardment fatigue begins to set in. As COD players we have travelled the world, killing people, following orders, hunting down madmen... many of us have had enough. Call of Duty should go out on a high, or at least come back totally re-invented. Perhaps that's what we'll get with
Modern Warfare 3. But for now, and for the next two-years of
multiplayer engagement, revel in this game's mastery of its well-trodden domain.
