COD Black Ops Review

The 2010 release of the 7th Call of Duty was 1 of the most anticipated Call of Duty at all. Call of Duty Black Ops shattered the past sales records of Modern Warfare 2. Within 24 hours Black Ops sold over 5.6 million copies beating MW2`s  24 hour sales record was 2.3 million copies. Black Ops is the next in the series to Treyarch`s World at War. Black Ops i based in the Cold War era in the 1960`s. Different missions in Black Ops are based in Cuba, Russia, Kazakhstan and Vietnam. As always Call of Duty has created another amazing campaign in Call of Duty Black Ops. The campaign involves fighting your way through Cuba into Fidel Castro`s compound to kill the Castro look alike, and disabling a Russian missile silo. Another amazing part of the Black Ops game was the return of the Call of Duty`s epic game mode. Zombies. Black Ops returned with 2 new free zombie maps Kino Der toten and "Five" which is based in the Pentagon in Washington D.C. Also throughout the year that Black Ops was at its prime it released 4 new map packs which included 8 new zombie maps in total. Ascension, Call of the Dead, Shangri La, Moon and the return of the 4 World at War Zombie maps that started it all; Nacht der Untoten, Verruckt, Shi No Numa and Der Reise. Aside from the classic multiplayer mode that isn`t much different from every other First Person Shooter game. Zombies is the one mode in Call of Duty that makes it different and original. Zombies is a crazy fast-paced survival mode where zombies will come out of windows and the ground trying to kill you and you must use all your weapons and explosives to kill the zombies hoards. Every round in zombies the zombies get harder to kill and more zombies appear. Every kill gains you money and you can use this money to open doors to new parts of the maps, buy weapons off the wall, use traps and use the "Mystery Box" which gives you a random weapon. Zombies is a total original feature to Call of Duty that has kept players interested even when other games come out. Even after the release of MW3 Black Ops still has over 1,000,000 players playing at a time(give or take a few 100,000 players) and for this i applaud Treyarch on the terrific work. I give this a 4.5/5 stars rating. 5/5 for zombies, 4.5/5 for the campaign and 4/5 for multiplayer.
