Call of Duty Black Ops

🎮 Steam ⏳ 15 hours ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

I honestly consider this to be the absolute best Call of Duty title of all time.

Cold War Espionage #

This COD entry is a gripping FPS set during the Cold War, offering a cinematic and intense single-player campaign packed with espionage, twists, and memorable characters like Alex Mason and Viktor Reznov. The game shines with its gritty atmosphere, varied missions, and high production value, even though COD was a well established franchise at the time, this entry was a big standout in story-telling, it is one of the first time where you actually cared about the characters you interacted with.

Iconic Multiplayer Modes #

The multiplayer is fast-paced and highly addictive, introducing features like COD Points, emblem customization, and fan-favorite maps like Nuketown, which is an all time classic map, even up to this day. The Zombies mode is also a standout, delivering chaotic co-op survival fun, greatly improving what was already a very good mode introduced in World at War. There is also a secret Zombies mode with a top-down perspective, I highly recommend this mode is explored, it is quite fun and a good ester egg to discover.

The numbers Mason! What do they mean?!
