Call of Duty Black Ops:

This game cam out on December 9, 2010. Now the thing about this game is that there is that it has a sequel. Who knew right? I mean they didn't even have any commercials on TV like, ever. Except for the ten or twenty that I saw in the fire week of it being on the market. So there was no way anyone knew anything about COD Black Ops 2.

So let me start with the good stuff. This game actually has a clever way of telling the story line. If you think of a guy tied to a chair, forced to tell a story about his experiences in war, clever. However it is kind of cool because your not killed when your done telling you story. Overall this game does flow pretty nicely. Although the way the story goes is that you skip ahead to each battle, to say what happened and how everything blew up in you face and how you eventually got strapped to a chair in the US or something. Although the game is not super repetitive, unless you consider shooting bullets at models of enemies in several different environments. There are some cool twists and turns that I would not change.

Okay good stuff is over. Surprisingly there isn't that much that is bad to say about it, but like I said in my Battlefield Bad Company 2 review, they keep assigning random values for how much damage a bullet does. Honestly several of the weapons are the same caliber, and the damage amount should only vary a slight amount for each weapon. I mean think about it, does it really make sense for an M16, and a M14a (they have the same caliber: .223) to have 10 points of difference on how much damage they do? This is simple stuff that I think developers of these realistic games should take into account.

Also I will speak specifically on one particular map alone, WMD. Now the thing is with this map, is that there is a way to get onto the roofs of the buildings. Except before I get everyone's hopes up, you can't get on top of the buildings because the creators of the game decided to put an invisible wall right where you could get up onto a building. Not cool if you ask me. It would be so much cooler if video game developers actually gave some more freedom to the players. How much more fun would it be if you could snipe someone on the roof? Well now that I think about it, it would be so cool if you could do a 360 no scope with the snipers rifle in mid air as the final kill?

Anyways this is a pretty decent game, but it's not the best game ever made in the history of the world. Now some people would make you think that, but I recommend playing it before making you own decision about how good or bad the game is.

Rating: 2/5
