    I play this game on my gaming laptop, good performance, no issues. The day i played the first 2 levels of the campaign, i went out to play the zombies and multiplayer. Atleast it does not lag and crash. I will give this 11/10 rating if i could. Thank you for reading.

    Muhteşem bir hikaye ile bezenmiş askeri FPS. Nostajik değerini bir kenara bıraksam dahi bu oyun cidden harika bir deneyim. Yapay Zeka gibi kusurları var ama onun dışında harika bir deneyim.

    So far the best part for me.

    Very cool and fascinating story of 3 agents during the Cold War. The most beautiful storyline. The only disappointing thing is the checkpoint system, would it be like in MW2 :(

    I advise!

    The story is simply perfect. My only problem with the game was the less variety of weapons in the story. Multi and zombie modes do not interest me, so I did not add them to my final rating.

    I really love the zombies mode along with the AMAZING CAMPAIGN level and the multiplayer.

    Это одна из любимейших игр моего детства. И, несмотря на возраст и недостатки, о которых я сейчас узнаю от других, она не кажется мне плохой

    The last Call of Duty game that is worth playing. The gameplay is fine and the Cold War setting is better than that in its succesors. COD games released after Black Ops are not worth playing.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops. Remember the numbers, or the world will be on fire. An interesting and twisted plot in which there are a lot of new characters, but also a couple of long-forgotten ones. After Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and plastic weapons in Black Ops, you feel like you are shooting from real weapons.

    i had a lot of fun playing this game , black ops is as fun as modern warfare is , the story is way deeper and told in a very interesting and personal way never seen in a call of duty game 8/10

    and very INSANE to play this game as good as BO2. Beautiful graphics, simple gameplay like every call of DUTY, the only thing I missed was the option to aim while holding the mouse button. One of the best missions was in a boat that shoots and there is background music... Sympaty FOR THE DEVIL

    На мой взгляд - лучшая часть калл оф дюти. Ведь главная фишка этой серии - это сюжетные компании. И в блэк опсе она лучшая.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There was this one particular question that was roaming in my head right after I finished Modern Warfare series - how any other CoD installment is going to stand up against this monumental trilogy, especially Black Ops? The bar was simply set too high, I thought (and to be honest, still think). I worried Black Ops was going to wind up be a good but eventually an inferior game in comparison to Modern Warfare - did my concerns come true? Let's find out.

    In my humble opinion, the most important thing in any game is presentation and you can't think of a better presentation than the one Treyarch came up with. You don't even have to start the actual game in order to BEGIN the game - the main menu itself is already a part of the story, the immersion is cranked up to the maximum, you immidiately get hooked. Sure, it is not the first time the main menu is stylized to be a part of the game world (the first title that comes to my mind which did the similar was Medal of Honor back in 1999) but it is the first time the main menu is basically POV of your main character who is located in a REAL and RELEVANT in-game location. I think more games should adopt this approach (of course if their goal is to create a frictionless immersive expereince). Why is it so important? Because the moment I saw the main menu I knew the presentation of the rest of the game is going to be top-notch - I knew this game is going to be atmospheric, heavily story-driven, with great respect to details.

    Now let's talk about the story itself a little, shall we? As always the beginning is intriguing, the middle is a little bit dragged off and the last third is thrilling - classic. Maybe the only thing I had a problem with is this lack of chronological order - it was hard for me to keep the whole picture together with all the jumping back and forward in time. On the other hand this not so much linear approach gives it a kind of replayability because there is no way you are going to grasp all the nuances of the story in your fist playthrough. Oh, and yeah, I am not a fan of "prequels" - for example, my least favorite missions in MW series are the ones where you travel to the past to relive someone else's memories - I know it is kinda stupid but when I am in someone else's memory I don't feel like I have a choice, everything just feels too predetermined (for the same reason Better Call Saul will always be inferior to Breaking Bad for me. On the other hand I still manage to enjoy early Assassin's Creed tremendously though XD ). The problem is 90% of the missions in Black Ops are happening prior to your current situation you find yourself in but as I have already indicated maybe I am the only one who has a problem with that and to be honest not that big of a problem anyway. Of course the cherry on the cake is Fight Club / Shutter Island kind of plot twist which, let's be honest, we all knew was coming starting somewhere from the middle of the game and do you know what? There is nothing wrong with that. I can't say they made it too obvious, though one particular moment in one of the missions almost 100% spoiled it to me, I still had my doubts till the very end - it would be much worse if the plot twist came out of nowhere and there was no way to predict it (like in Heavy Rain, for example).

    So how Black Ops eventually stands up against the gold standard - Modern Warfare? Much, much better than I thought initially - of course it doesn't have the scope or the memorable characters MW has but it has a more intriguing story and a better presentation overall, it has its own style and soul which is very important for any piece of art.    … Expand

    Good cinematic moments, good gameplay, good story and good characters.

    You can play multiplayer with bots. And there is also zombie mode. Triple package.

    I think from this game on, call of duty franchise started to repeat itself and fall into a yearly loop of cliches
    but about the game itself, it's the usual stuff you expect from any call of duty game and doesn't offer you more
    I give it a 8/10 because of its good story

    Pathetic example of a over hyped game. Its very obvious the developer did not beta test this game. People using high end gaming computers that are way over min spec can't run the game without massive amounts of stuttering/lag. Activision really let its fans

    Its duffer solo moments are masked by imaginative and visual whizz-band-fizz. [Jan 2011, p.100]

    This score will likely come as a shock to many, but this game suffers from pathetic frame rates at times, both on console and on PC.

    Black Ops is one of the best first person shooters this year, and is a obviously must have for any action fan. Intense, gory and quite brilliant, maybe it's not refreshing but at the same time its a stunning game.
