Call of Duty: Black Ops: Overview

A few days ago I got the newest game in the Call of Duty series, Call of Duty: Black Ops.  The game is set in the cold war era, after the end of WWII.  At this time in history, hostilities between the United States and Russia were high.  In the game you are an American soldier, who has a reputation for being top tier, and are sent out on important missions relevant to this time period, such as an assassination of Fidel Castro, and disrupting the launch of a Russian shuttle to prevent the Russians from gaining an advantage in space.

This game is considered to be a sequel to the game Call of duty: World at War principly taking place in WWII, and as promised; Black Ops has well exceeded the standard set by it's predecessors. The graphics in multiplayer mode in Black Ops are stunning. The graphics make you feel as if you are actually in the game, and the effective use of sound adds to this sense of reality.  The new maps such as Nuke Town and Villa are good maps for many different styles of games such as Team Deathmatch, Headquarters, Free for All and more.  Return of Nazi zombies was an excellent addition. Also, Treyarch has fixed their glitch with the 'Ninja' perk. On the previous games in the series, Treyarch tried to make the footsteps quieter to enhance the Ninja perk, but in the process made the footsteps completely silent, thus making the Ninja perk too unfair for some players, therefore was removed.  Now that the bug is fixed, it just adds to the suspense and thrill of multiplayer mode.
