    I can't believe people actually think this game is a step down from Modern Warfare 2. I believe numbers talk a lot already :d

    But anyway; the story, gunplay, cinematics, graphics, sounds and music is awesome. In my opinion plot twist is the best one for the entire Call of Duty series (ofc which was released on PS3).

    Love Black Ops. The story is great, the gameplay is great, zombies are so cool (115 is such a banger of a song). The multiplayer was fun, though not as good as Black Ops 2 imo. Nuketown is a classic.

    The story lost me on this one for my tiny little kid brain at the time, but looking back on it, it was quite interesting. Multiplayer was fun like in MW2 but what really made me love this game was the zombies. The feeling of **** my pants and killing zombies as a kid was amazing.

It has fun and interesting characters AMAZING graphics and overall is pretty well thought out. My only flaw is the reduced movement and clunkiness of the movement compared to the MW series which had much better movement and the lack of unique missions. Pretty much the only unique mission we got was the spy plane where you used your radars to help a group through a russian military base. There were a couple helicopter fights, chases etc. but nothing like the MW series. The helicopter fights were a pain. The helicopters were hard to move, had no altitude controls, and no guided rockets. I also didnt like the fact the whole game except the last two missions were all just Mason thinking in his head and not real or currently happening. It ruins this whole sense of urgency cause you know that in the end everything will be fine cause this is only his memories. But the rest of the game was so good it would be a dishonour to give it less than a 9/10.… Expand

The graphics are beautiful, shooting is precise, controls in general are amazing, and there are plenty of modes, all of which are still up and very fun. If you want to pick up a PS3, make SURE that you pick up Black Ops as well.

А Блэк Опс - отличный шутер не только в рамках серии, но и вообще в жанре. И кстати, тут шикарный сюжет, что не часто встретишь в стрелялках.Как бы не ругали калду, как бы не обвиняли ее в однотипности - мне все равно нравятся эти игры, по моему нескромному мнению, игры серии достаточно разные, чтобы не приедались.

After completing the first three installments of Uncharted (still waiting to get that PS4 for Uncharted 4) I was in dire need of an addictive action/shooter. You'd practically have to live under a digital rock to not have heard about COD by now, so I finally decided to give it a try. While I've already beaten Modern Warfare 2 and am playing Modern Warfare 3, I decided to start this one up tonight as I found it on sale for 2 bucks.

    Holy crap, is this game insanely relentless. I already thought Modern Warfare was action picked, and it is, but it still gave me some moments, albeit brief ones, to catch my breath and take it all in. Black Ops on the other hand goes all in and not once lets you off the hook. Bullets flying from multiple directions, hundreds of foes coming at you with all they've got (one particular mission in Vietnam is ridiculously overwhelming the whole way through), helicopters being shot from the sky, explosives taking down buildings, manning turrets on the back of speeding trucks-- you get the picture.

    There are moments I found myself catching my breath in unison with the protagonist as I was ducking down regaining my health, then back into the battle you go. Black Ops is an exhausting game, and yet so thrilling and endlessly playable it's hard to put down. As a FPS it doesn't really break new ground, but if it ain't broke don't fix it. The gameplay is smooth, the presentation is outstanding, the exhilaration is genuine. The story so far may be a little thin, but I could just be mistaking that with the fact that it's at times hard to absorb the information because of the forward momentum of the gameplay.

    One hell of a fun game to play, and I'm kicking myself for not picking up this franchise earlier. But the sun is rising and it's time for me to take a breather. Once I get my heart rate down. Jeeze. I'm going back and forth between an 8 or 9 out of 10 rating. At this point I'd probably give it an 8.5, but it could go up or down depending on where it goes by the end. (For the record Modern Warfare 2 is a 10 in my book, with MW3 not far behind.)    … Expand

    Whilst Black Ops is a distinctive downgrade from Modern Warfare 2, especially in terms of the online spectrum, it is still a game worthy of the Call of Duty name. The campaign is particularly intriguing, taking the story into unfamiliar territory that works to a treat.

    This multiplayer is more balanced than MW2 ever was (with the exception of the Famas and AK74u).The level cap isn't too high (level 50), Treyarch added theatre mode (like Halo), combat training (practice against bots), and wager matches (gamble C.O.D points). One innovation in Multiplayer were C.O.D points which were in-game money used to buy guns, emblems, attachments, camos, etc. I liked C.O.D points way more than the weapon levels we got now. Treyarch even improved the emblem system by letting us customize our own emblem, which was extremely fun to do. Zombies made a return from World at War, and Treyarch even improved that as well with new guns, perks and all the maps were greatly designed (including DLC maps). I liked these maps more than the Black Ops 2 ones. 10/10

    Verdict:
    Call of Duty Black Ops in my opinion is the best C.O.D to have come out since C.O.D 4. Engaging single player story, balanced multiplayer, and fun zombies makes for a complete package. Verdict: 9/10    … Expand

The multiplayer was really fun to play just like any other cod but it probably has the worst connection in the series, and horrible hit detection (There have been so many times where i have been killed behind walls). If it wasnt for these realy big problems the multiplayer would be one of the best.

    Black Ops entered with fresh new ideas and came out fulfilling those ideas. The multiplayer was as good as ever and felt more than a usual COD experience. Zombie went on with more maps and more attracting ideas, and the campaign may be the best in the series. The Graphics lack behind though for the standard shooter and look sloppy. Overall Treyarch made a fresh new start and made a fantastic FPS.

    Black Ops is the best from Treyarch's Call of Duty that deserves high praise with even more customization and awesome new weapons such as the crossbow. RC-XD is a bit overpowered but when you become more advanced, RC-XD isn't the ideal killsteak you want to use. You can certainly get a kill with it but you get even more with other killstreaks like dogs and choppers.

You can certainly get a kill with it but you get even more with other killstreaks like dogs and choppers. It's a good way for newbies to get into Call of Duty and it's an awesome killstreak to use. It's much like driving a remote controlled car in real life.

    Map designs are stylish that goes with the games' Cold War setting. The game still runs perfectly at 60 FPS even if the graphics isn't the best. Theatre Mode is a great addition for those who wants to post their gameplay on YouTube. You can pick out the best gameplay and record that instead of recording everything then cropping, during editing, until you get the best ones, like you would do in previous Call of Duty games, the feature as well as the video runs perfectly. You can only record about 30 seconds of the gameplay with Theatre Mode. If you want to record everything, you'll need to buy a capture card.

    Wager matches is a great addition to Call of Duty's multiplayer. Currency is a bit controversial but we wouldn't have wager matches without them. Gun game is a fun mode where you start with a Python and each kill allows the player to move up one weapon tier which will grant you a new weapon. You win by getting to the last tier and kill an enemy with that weapon. You downgrade a tier when you're knifed. One in a Chamber is where you start with one bullet with a M1911 and you get one more bullet for each kill.

    Sharpshooter cycles a random weapon every 45 secs, you get perks for every kill and eventually a scoring multiplier. You lose the perks when you die and you have to earn them again. Sticks and Stones is a rubbish game mode where you kill enemies with a Crossbow, Tomahawk and Ballistic Knife. If you have the skills to handle these weapons, Stick and Stones might be fun for you. Top 3 gets money and it's the best way to earn money to buy goods like weapons and attachments. Everyone else would lose money but hey, it's like gambling so don't complain. You lose some, you win some!

    Dolphin Dive is unbalanced, the idea of dive to prone while still maintaining accuracy is the reason for so. Some balancing issues, connection problems and crappy game modes makes this Call of Duty not as good as Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare but it's still better than World at War. Zombies is also really fun and it's probably the best feature in Treyarch's Call of Duty. It deserves a much higher score than 6.0, which is the average score from metacritic users. If you missed out on Medal of Honor so that you can play Black Ops, you've made the right decision.    … Expand

    I think the first Black Ops is the only Call of Duty that I really liked, I thought it was damn solid in all it's three modes. But keep in mind I still haven't played the original Modern Warfare. Since the game is based around three distinctive modes I'll divide them up.

    Campaign:
    Something that I think is not appreciated enough about this game is it's excellently written story, I thought it was a very good story and the twists and turns were great. I think it would translate nicely to a movie due to it's shortness. The campaign does suffer a bit from being very linear and scripted, I will say that some scripted moments are actually quite thrilling and fun however. So I surprisingly really liked the campaign of Black Ops, shocker.

    Multiplayer:
    Call of Duty is of course only known mainly for it's multiplayer, I'm not big into multiplayer games but I had a pretty good time for a while with it. I thought it was pretty well balanced and the maps were pretty varied and well designed. It is pretty satisfying to get a long kill streak as well.

    Zombies:
    I was never very good at the zombies mode in Black Ops, but when I played it with friends it's such a blast. The maps are giant and filled with things to do and unlock. It's over the top and that's why it's so good.    … Expand

    Great game! I was hesitant when I learned Black Ops was set in the 70s or 80s but I was pleasantly surprised. There is a nice variety of maps, all of which are very nicely designed. The guns are noticeably different in how they handle, and there are some new kill streaks that are fun and can be very rewarding. I would put this game on par with MW2, though they are both very different games.

    Treyarch finally tries to change the formula in COD. Of course you can argue COD points failed - but more importantly, COD was different for the first time in a while. There's a definite feel in Black Ops that is different from it's Predecessors. IW just made the same game with MW2 - Black Ops may not be perfect, but it's certainly a very good game, in and of itself.

Campaigns that were almost silly in nature, almost obsessive amounts of high-tech military ordinance, and some of the most obnoxious gamers on the planet. Then I finally picked it up. OKAY, alright, it's good. Are you done making fun of me? Don't get me wrong - most of what I've already mentioned applies. The campaign of Black Ops - while intriguing - is really dumbly written, and a bore, exploring uninteresting hypothetical conspiracy theories that have been gone over ten-thousand times before. Furthermore, there are no "black ops" in Black Ops. the term itself, black ops, harkens to devious military operations performed in secret. Something about an all-out helicopter assault on a battleship in the Gulf of Mexico doesn't strike me as very secretive, nor does blasting out the Vietcong with The Rolling Stones blaring from your in-chopper headsets. Yes, I am being serious - that is how ridiculously cliché Black Ops manages to reach. However, the game is very polished, the sound is very good - as to be expected. But the appeal is absolutely the online multiplayer. As said, yes, it brings out some of the lowest of the low from all walks of life to the same table to combat each other. You'll spend much of your time listening to people name-call and teabag each other. Does this lower the quality of the multiplayer? Absolutely not. As much as it dreads me to admit, Black Ops has undoubtedly some of the most competitive multiplayer experience offered in any game on the market to date, far usurping the competitiveness seen in the Halo franchise. The ranking and prestige system is very well designed, customization features allow for very different and varied gameplay, everything is fast paced and competitive, and it can constantly draw you back for a match or two. It's good. And I'm done complimenting Black Ops. RAGH, damn you EA. You won me over. Now quit being so ****… Expand

After playing it a few times, though, I get the gist of it, although it still sucks. Zombies is not my cup of tea unless I'm with friends, as it requires a lot of communication and understanding of how to survive in the maps to actually get far and have fun, until you eventually start just talking 'bout random stuff because you're just hoarding zombies until they overwhelm you. However, Treyarch took the biggest risk in Multiplayer, with a complete overhaul of the overall system. You can buy all perks after level 4, using money you get as a tenth of your xp each game. You also use this money to buy guns you have unlocked, and like perks, all equipment, lethals, and tacticals are unlocked once you create a class. The maps give you more variety than MW2 or MW3, with an Array of different maps that have been tailored to one gun type or another. The killstreaks are much harder to get, which I love, so that you're not bombed by YET ANOTHER PREDATOR! The guns also take ever so slightly longer to kill with than the other games, which increases you're chances of living. Also, the perks are much more balanced, and Tomahawks are amazing.

    There are more highlights in the first two missions of Black Ops, then in Medal of Honor. The requirements of Treyarch seemed to be better, than in the past few years. They made an interesting setting. In addition, there's a nice zombie mode and an overwhelming multiplayer. No doubt, this is Treyarchs best Call of Duty ever!
