Welcome to COD Black Ops Review. Today I am giving you a quick overview and some basic information of the game Black Ops. In case you aren't sure COD stands for Call of Duty, however if you are reading this then I'm sure you are well aware of that. I will be reviewing different aspects of Black Ops on an ongoing basis in the future since the content of the game is massive and I don't want you to have to read a book about it immediately. This will just give you a quick basic guide of what Black Ops is, and the different ways to play. My primary focus in the will be reviewing the Online Multiplayer World with reviews on the Game Types, Maps, Perks, Class Creations, killstreaks and everyones' favorites...the GUNS!! I will also provide tips, techniques, and strategy I've found while playing Black OPS and the COD series for the XBOX and PS3. If you have strategies, tips, or fun class creations of your own I welcome comments.
So quickly about Black Ops. Released in late 2010 by Treyarch/Activision it is a first person shooter for the Xbox, PS3, Wii, as well as the PC. On it's release date November 9th 2010 it again took the COD series to new heights with an opening day record of 5.6 million units sold, which resulted in approximately $360 million in sales. Black Ops is well on it's way to being the best selling video game of all time.
Black Ops has 3 main ways to play. Campaign mode which takes you through the story line created for Black Ops mission by mission. There is the ever popular Multiplayer Mode which often is the only reason people buy the COD games. If you have never played any of the COD games online and you have purchased Black Ops I highly recommend giving it a try. You can get together with a group of friends, create a Party, chat and play games together. It is a lot of fun and you get to play alongside your friends and even meet new friends along the way. For some this is the only way to play. There is also the Zombies mode which is also a lot of fun. The object is simple if you've played Zombie games before. Survive wave after wave of Zombie, build up cash, upgrade your weapons, open doors and try to stay alive. There are some interesting characters thrown in along the way monkees included. Multiplayer can sometimes get frustrating so Zombies is a great way to blow off some steam. Treyarch has since released a new map pack that added 4 new maps to online multiplayer as well as an additional map to Zombies.
So what's the verdict on Black Ops. Well in my opinion it is a great addition to an already fantastic series of video games. I have a blast playing it. Is it better than the highly touted Modern Warfare 2? That remains to be seen and only time will tell. I think there will be players on both sides of the fence regarding that argument. The good thing is it brings a few new things to the table, while keeping a lot of what MW2 did right, thus making for an enjoyable experience all around. Everyone will have their own opinion on Black Ops, but from what I see on a day to day basis, people are playing and playing a lot. So if you already own the game I look forward to hearing from you or seeing you online, if not rent it or better yet buy it! If you liked the previos installments this one won't disappoint.
To all the Black Ops players out there, good luck Noobs and experienced shooters alike and I will see you in the zone!
