    This game was for me a favourite among Call of Duty games, being more balanced than 4 (and even more balanced with the patches). The game may not have the same graphics engine as MW2 or graphics but the gameplay is pretty much more or less the same. The multiplayer is the main part of the game as usual to modern gaming. Single Player to me is a warm up session before you compete with hundreds of thousands of people online in seeing if you are better or not. Zombies was a fun minigame since it retains much from WaW and improves on it, adding new elements and with newer creatures.
    The multiplayer killstreaks aren't as overpowered as MW2 , The nuke was just overpowered to end a match in a single hand, The weapon variety is actually nice (but stats with many weapons are actually similar). Camping is less of a problem because camping spots can be easily overpowered. Perks are also more balanced and less overpowered, such as Warlord (Bling from Mw2), you can't use the Grenade Launcher with anything else. And I like the COD points system, it's much like Combat Arms except weapons are kept. Many inexperienced players hated the MW2 challenge system for higher attachments but COD points are easier to obtain.
    The game is great and shouldn't disappoint an FPS player. Overall Treyarch had done a good job and is now listening to players for improvement    … Expand

    To start with, I'd like to say this ISN'T a 10/10 game. I'm just giving it that to p*** off the blatant fanboys who gave the game 0/10. I mean c'mon, giving a game a 0 on the day it comes out? Because you've obviously played it a lot by that point... and lets not get into the people who mention BC2 or Halo... heres the thing battlefield fanboys - BC2 SUCKED.

I mean c'mon, giving a game a 0 on the day it comes out? Because you've obviously played it a lot by that point... and lets not get into the people who mention BC2 or Halo... heres the thing battlefield fanboys - BC2 SUCKED. It was essentially the same game I played with BC1, just with a worse story and a load of boring MP maps. I loved BC1 though, and will likely love BF3.

    Back to the matter at hand, this game is about a 8.5/10 for me - whilst it is essentially the same old tried and tested COD formula, it is by far the most balanced. Not having to unlock 'Cold blooded' is a god-send now, and is where the new 'cod points' system works best. There are quite a few new additions, but nothing to overly shout about, its just new perks, weapons, maps etc. As for the story, this was the best out of the Call Of duty's yet. It certainly was the most intriguing, and actually kept me playing compulsively to the end. Something a COD has failed to do since #4, which remains the best one of the series. Whilst you may think I haven't detailed enough new features to warrant an '8.5', I don't care. You have to look at the game on it's own, as a significant number of gamers will start with this Call of duty - whilst most of us old hats are privy to the series, they're not, and will want a more fair, just approach to the game itself, NOT the series. Plus it has Nazi zombies, which is just sheer beast! :P
    P.S. I do agree that MW2 is an overrated, unbalanced piece of junk - but don't punish black ops for the sins of the father...    … Expand

    Good game, not inovative at ALL, but still a good game. Nice story (only 5 hours, if you don't know it) and great multiplayer. Zombies mode is cool. But, you know, as I said, not inovative at all, same CoD stuff. But way better than MW3.

    Well-made, balanced and works. But is that a good thing? For any other game, maybe. For Call of Duty, this is by far the most boring, least satisfying, easiest but technically the best. A robot might like it, but a human gamer will soon grow tired of yet another CoD which although adds new features, it still doesn't make the game exciting.

A robot might like it, but a human gamer will soon grow tired of yet another CoD which although adds new features, it still doesn't make the game exciting. However, if you asked me which shooter i'd be happy to play on the longest, it would definitely be this. Everything works well, and there are practically no flaws with multiplayer. Zombies are very well done (the default ones anyway), if not a bit too dark in Kino der Toten. Overall, the campaign is excellent and interactive, zombies is fun and multiplayer is arguably the best in all of CoD. What more could you ask for? The campaign is much better than MW2 and WaW, with more interactivity, more variety in level design, a new environment and great scenes, characters and storyline. It is a little too short, but still packed with epicness, from stealth to piloting gunships. The campaign is much more of an adventure- a journey- whereas the previous ones were more predictable and straightforward. As far as multiplayer is concerned, it's flawless. There are no imbalanced weapons or perks or attachments. If anything grenade launchers are underpowered. The weapons are still varied for differentp laystyles. There are many attachments, pro perks, balanced killstreaks and modes such as Barebones, where it's straight up gun on gun. Private matches are a lot more fun given the wealth of settings which can be tweaked. One can also save replays of recent games and store custom game modes in file share. Wager matches add a new facet to the multiplayer experience by allowing players to compete in three free-for-all game modes for CoD points (in-game currency). Although many dislike CoD points, it encourages players to try out new weapons and attachments when prestiging and yes, challenges don't unlock anything but pro perks anymore but this eliminates boosting- a problem which MW2 had. Any problems which MW2 had have been addressed, but Second Chance/Last Stand still remains albeit with the kill going to the player who put the victim in last stand. The maps aren't great but they're good enough and work well. the same playstyle can be applied to every map, but this and the addition of CoD points mean that the game is fair and equal for all. Black Ops has really modernised the franchise and brought it up to Halo levels of complete package with its new additions such as the complete stats tracking for weapons, kills, deaths, leaderboards, score, killstreaks- EVERYTHING IS TRACKED. Understandably, people are sick of CoD franchise in general so it has low ratings, but as a game, this is by far the most modern and polished Call of Duty game yet in all aspects.… Expand

There are still several issues with connection lag, hacks available to anyone with google and a USB thumb drive and naturally the immature and racist player base on Xbox Live. That notwithstanding, Cod:BlOps has turned into a decent game. The map packs and game modes have been refreshing and the developer listened to the player base offering new ways to play the game. It's too bad we need to wait for Modern Warfare 2 to (hopefully) resolve the quick-scope sniper, the noob tube and idiocy that is Ghost and Last/Second Chance.… Expand

However, this may be a falacy as with the action. The action is still good but it doesn't evoke an "whoa that was amzing!" type of feeling, it feels as if it has already been done but the story is still pretty good and it kept me interested, the voice acting and the sound are all stellar. The controls are like MW2's but that is all right because the controls are still really good. Zombies is a fun addition that keeps you playing and playing to get to higher rounds. However I wish that more types of zombies were put in like a beserker zombie or something, that would make Zombies more fun. The multiplayer experience of Black Ops is the bomb as the ability to choose your perks or gear is great, the addition of contracts makes the game all the more funner but I still see more improvements that can be made but multiplayer is still good. Overall, Black Ops is a game that is worth playing as you wait for Modern Warfare 3. Treyarch has shown with Black Ops that it can make good shooters and Black Ops is a game worth playing to quench your Call of Duty needs.… Expand

    It is very much fanboyism around infinity ward who took the series out of the second world war and brought it to modern day. However Blackops has a great story line and according to me a much better multiplayer then MW2 without a million tons of crap flying in the air. all respect to Blackops.

He begins recalling events leading up to his interrogation which help him remember what is presently happening. Zombies plot: After Rictofan manipulated the teleporters into time machines, they reappear in Hitler's private theatre where he has given speeches fighting off the undead horde, as well as John F. Kennedy, Secretary Nacramera, Fidel Castro, and Richard Nixon defending themselves from zombies in the Pentagon. Multiplayer: For the first time in Call of Duty history, players use an in game currency system called Cod points in order to purchase loadout options as well as killstreaks, and titles and emblems. Also for the first time in Call of Duty history players can play multiplayer game types against CPU controlled players. Players can also play wager matches which gamble their Cod points in order to attempt to raise their wealth. My opinion: this game is fantastic and really brings you back to the scary nuclear arms race of the Cold War. It is thrilling to take part in the vietnam war and take part in the bay of pigs, an attempt to assassinate Castro.

I think what made the game so popular was the fact how MW2 kind of boosted the series A LOT. A big factor that went into making the game so popular was that it was sold as the fact that it was "easy", mainly because since there were a lot of 'Noobs", they were probably playing there first COD experience.

The campaign was to me one of the few good ones throughout Call of Duty history. This and its sequel. The story was good and the new cold war setting and equipment made this game memorable. It's co-op zombies mode was done very well and the two maps that came with the game (excluding DOA) were well thought out. When I think of Zombies, I think of Kino der Toten. To me, that defines zombies in Call of Duty.… Expand

    Call of Duty: Black Ops is the result of the incredible work of Treyarch.
    Despite having a short single player campaign that Call of Duty have an fantastic story. The multiplayer is balanced and brings good maps.

    Black Ops my all time favorite CoD. This game has great story with memorable characters such as Sgt. Frank Woods. Gameplay in mutliplayer is a satisfying experience that I truly enjoyed and you will too. Zombies is another major part of the game. You'll spend days playing zombies as you do with multiplayer. Overall great game and must have.

    Treyarch’s re-imagining of the 1960’s Cold War and Cuban Missile Crisis is what Call of Duty: Black Ops stands out to be the most respected and praised COD ever made. Alongside with the multiplayer and incredible Nazi Zombies mode, packs a bigger punch that will keep you going past the ranks that most COD players wants to be. And this is by far the best all-in-one Treyarch COD game ever made.

    The reason for that, I'd argue, is because this game did basically every aspect of the series well. Good single-player campaign setpieces, good storyline, good cooperative Zombies mode and maps, good multiplayer gunplay and the general atmosphere to everything. Perhaps each of these aspects alone don't stand out - WaW had better Zombies, MW2 had a more fun multiplayer (if less balanced), COD4's campaign pacing was more focused and had a more climactic conclusion.

    However, by doing each and every category well, BO forms one of the most cohesive experiences in the series, alongside the likes of CoD4 and CoD2. Take a look at MW3 - the co-op Survivalist mode was arguably shoehorned in. Take a look at BO3 - easily the worst campaign in the trilogy.

    Black Ops feels like a finished game, if a little unpolished, and it's Treyarch's first real foray into their own territory. Compare that to MW2, which was released a year too early, and the main villain of the plotline has a poorly developed and confusing motive.

    (As a side note, MW2 should have been released in 2010, Black Ops in 2011, and we should only just be hitting Black Ops II rather than III right about now, but Activision is one s h i t t y company. Infinity Ward was gutted in 2009, a **** PR manager and like 4 secretaries were all that was left, and that's what was forced into making MW3 for 2011. The series as a whole receives a whole lot of justified flak for being released yearly, and it's obvious that many games in the series suffered for it, 2011-2014 releases in particular. That doesn't make them all not worth playing though, in my opinion.)

    Overall, BO is still definitely one of the better games in the series, and it should be remembered that way too. I'd personally rank it at something like 4th overall, not for doing anything spectacular in a single specific category, but for being cohesive and doing everything well despite its early release.    … Expand

    Call of Duty: Black Ops is one of the best games in a series. After Infinity Ward disorder at Treyarch there came hour of triumph. Fine Russophobic game. With excellent geymply for 2010, but an outdated sound and graphics. On Xbox360 a game looks not bad, it is better than on PS3.

    With MW2 being a departure of its roots in favor of more popular and commercialized production, I was expecting some sort of return with the series.

World War 2 was already repeated twice, so that was a no-go, leaving Vietnam and Korea on the map for the next war game. Would it return to the roots and still remain fresh for the players? In my opinion I would say Black Ops 1 does deliver that war-like feel, but not of the same caliber as WAW.

    The campaign is not as action-packed as MW2, but it was going for a more twist with the Cold War and having this Black Operative style that reflected that paranoia of the U.S. and Russia in the Cold War's height. The brutality came back and I enjoyed it very much unlike MW2 lacking it. Unfortunately, my fears had surfaced when the hand holding and power of war and sacrifice had been trashed the moment I was given my "toys" to play without throughout. Bringing back the soldiers of WAW surprised me much like Soap and Price in MW2, but worked much better I think because it reflected the nature of the political spectrum Russia had when the U.S.S.R. was around. Not brilliantly or anything, but comparing the past three games, I'd say it is better than MW2's, but not as good as WAW and not even close to COD4's.

    The zombies return and bring three maps instead of one (I only look at the base game here). Kino Der Toten from Nacht Der Untoten was perhaps the most brilliant jump in quality ever, as long as nobody played the DLC maps WAW had for zombies at the time. I really love its larger, yet simple design that echoes the original and pretty much evolves it. Playing with friends, or running solo was always a joy to play on that map and it's an easy top 10 for all maps currently. Five, however, then turns up and is one of the worst maps ever made to this date. A cool concept ruined by the zombie's behaviors and the tight close spaces, it was a dam shame such potential was wasted. Dead Ops Arcade was fun little distraction that takes the idea of zombies into a arcade shooter and (although clumsily) makes some challenge for players.

    The multiplayer in Black Ops was really really good. Once again, not as well done as COD4, but I loved the maps (mostly), the music and theme mixed with a retro feel of the guns. Perk Imbalance still ran rampant, but what Black Ops also did that I loved was adding emblem customizing, contracts, character customization options, the cod point system and theater mode on top of its multiplayer. Even if the emblem designs could look ridiculous or stupid, I loved the idea of creating your own identity. Adding face paint and wearing certain perks to define your character's outfit really made team tactics good and also define you as your own soldier. The cod point system was genius; you earn points (or money in this case) as you played matches and spend on weapons, camos, sights, and all sorts of things so you could spend it the way you wanted and not the game. The contract system made point gathering easier by allowing you to bet on challenges you set yourself to complete and earn not just experience but loads of points to help further benefit you. Add to that a wager match system where you bet those points in a pool with other players and win them by playing unique modes, and you have a competitive setup that actually helps everyone in the end for getting what they want.

    Combat wise, it did away with quickscoping and used a mix of old and new scorestreaks with a retro feel to them. Weapon imbalance was and still is an issue and coupling this with the perk imbalance, there was a arcade vibe more than a war vibe. I still enjoyed it for the setting and style however and is still one of my favorite Cod multiplayers to date.

    Black Ops receives alot of flak by the community on more than its fair share of issues, but I would argue it gave back the feel of what WAW and COD4 had that MW2 was lacking in, even if it doesn't live up to those standards. I always appreciated Black Ops for trying a different take on war through the lens of black operations and make us question what really goes on in our world that isn't always on a open battlefield. A well done game that is in my top five COD games of all time (#3).    … Expand

Not to mention, Reznov from World at War also makes an appearance in the campaign which gives me a lot of nostalgia for playing World at War.

The BO1 Campaign introduces brand new characters like Mason, Woods, Bowman, Hudson, Dragovich, Kravchenko, & Steiner. Not to mention, Reznov from World at War also makes an appearance in the campaign which gives me a lot of nostalgia for playing World at War. The BO1 campaign also tried to show some of the horrors of the Cold War but Treyarch also wanted to make sure it was also playing like an Action Movie.

    Even though the multiplayer maybe mixed among players, I personally prefer to play at speed of BO1's multiplayer regardless of it being slower-paced. COD Points back then weren't bad at all since it was your in-game currency to buy Guns, Perks, Lethal & Tactical Grenades, Equipment, Character Face Paint, Attachments, Kill-streaks, Emblem Materials, Lenses for Optics, & Reticles for Optics. Black Ops 1 COD Points are obviously better than COD Points today because modern day COD Points have to be purchased with real money and they're used to buy RNG Loot Boxes, DLC Packs, Character Cosmetics, Extra Create-a-Class Slots, etc... The Weapon Balance was also changed dramatically since the Assault Rifles were all OP, the Sub-Machine Guns were WEAK, Shotguns were unviable except the Stakeout & the SPAS-12, Snipers were less forgiving to use since Idle Sway was turned up massively because Treyarch didn't want quickscoping & trickshotting to become a big deal at all. Party Games was an awesome feature because they were completely hectic and pressuring since you could gamble your COD Points in Wager Matches where only the Top 3 players in the 6-Player Lobby would be the only players to get their in-game currency back. But, you could only play Wager Matches if you had enough points. You can enter into matches for a tiny amount like 10 Points or you could go all the way to a whopping 10K Points to enter into REAL Gambling Matches. BO1 Multiplayer was also the first multiplayer to introduce Custom Emblems & Theater Mode. Custom Emblems allow players to make anything they want like making an 8-Ball or their favorite TV character. Theater Mode was another good addition since you could record or take pictures of your gameplay, you can also check out screenshots or clips made by other players around the world. Black Ops 1 was also the last COD Game where your online Create-a-Classes for public play were also your Private Match load-outs. It's kind of annoying at first to grind through those ranks, saving up your COD Points to get what you want out of your classes but the grind is worth it.

    After Treyarch introduced zombies into World at War, everyone expected that Treyarch would bring Zombies back in Black Ops 1 and the Developers added on another layer of difficulty and progression to the mode since it was incredibly basic in World at War. Every DLC Zombies map got more and more complicated than the Launch Maps. Since the developers added new guns, bosses, wonder weapons, perk-a-colas, and wonder items.

    The Campaign was fantastic, the Multiplayer was hectic, and Zombies will endlessly stay fun. In my opinion, this is the best Black Ops Game of the Black Ops Series and the Best Game of the Franchise in general!    … Expand

Does it have to do with the fact it still is pretty expensive? Granted, I too would be peeved if such thing was like that, but how come I hear more people    “The numbers Mason. What do they mean?

    Okay, I loved the time-period it was set in. I loved the psychological manipulation the character deals with. I did find myself playing it a few times and playing the arcade game. But after awhile it did bore me. The zombie mode is only fun with friends.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    One of the best games of the cod franchise, which has performed exceptionally well, especially in the campaign and zombies sections. Be sure that after experiencing it, its story and epic scenes will always remain in your mind.

    This game marks probably the best point the Call of Duty franchise has ever been. Incredible campaign, excellent multiplayer, and superb Zombies mode that was improved upon in every way from World at War.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best call of duty games the plot twist in the ending was great the gameplay is good idk about multiplayer but the main campaign is great the numbers story everything was perfect the gameplay is not the best but the missions especially the missions called WMD you play as Hudson you have a blackbird airplane in the sky giving you specific details ofthe enemy Base. The ending of the game is also great the moment when mason realize what the numbers mean when mason realize that reznov was dead 7 years ago and he was schizophrenic imagining reznov helping him its great game Worth a shot i recommend to all of you board try this game… Expand

    The campaign was very good especially core gameplay wise. The multiplayer was also amazing including a bunch of iconic maps such as Nuketown. The zombies was the best part for me. Kino Der Totten and five are such great both map wise and the guns/items you can use to survive. Some of the dlc for this game was also very good including call of the dead and Ascension.

    Call Of Duty: Black Ops has strongly taken the Call Of Duty Series to new heights and is a critically acclaimed successful video game that is indisputably unmatched by any first-person shooter video game. Simply an outstanding video game.

    Call Of Duty: Black Ops tried things that had never been seen in a Call Of Duty Story before and this was genuinely a good thing to do. The story is    Call Of Duty: Black Ops has strongly taken the Call Of Duty Series to new heights and is a critically acclaimed successful video game that is indisputably unmatched by any first-person shooter video game. Simply an outstanding video game.

    Call Of Duty: Black Ops tried things that had never been seen in a Call Of Duty Story before and this was genuinely a good thing to do. The story is very complicated and confusing to be honest and the story jumps back and forth in it's timeline and brings in some confusing twists. Despite this, the story has some really epic and amazing moments that are well executed and constructed to give off a strong sense of reality and accuracy. The story is lengthy unlike the previous games such as Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which is really good, and the story features an amazing and finely picked cast of individuals and characters that contribute to the experience and quality of the game. The gameplay hasn't changed too much from it's predecessor Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and is pretty much the same thing with minor changes and fixes. There are more guns and unique weapons such as the crossbow which is really good. The gameplay works well as usual, the controls are easy to use and no issues or major problems here. Call Of Duty: Black Ops has insane graphics that have slightly improved from the previous game, the graphics are sharper, smoother and look stunning in every mission. The game has 3 Playable Protagonists that are silent when you play as them but the other 2 you don't play as is a character that accompanies you in missions. The voice acting in Call Of Duty: Black Ops is excellent and features the voices of Celebrities such as Ice Cube and Gary Oldman. Call Of Duty: Black Ops has a superb soundtrack that fits the gameplay so nicely and immerse the player in the experience that Call Of Duty offers. The attention to detail in this game is outstanding and raises the expectations for other games in 2010. Environments are accurately structured and the detail in each mission is incredible, really good job by Treyarch here. The game is so full of life, detail, excellence and pure quality. Simply the best that Call Of Duty have offered so far.

    Despite it's confusing story, Call Of Duty: Black Ops is a video-game success that has carried on the superiority of the Call Of Duty Series. This game is a breathtaking masterpiece and has to go down as one of the best First Person Shooters of all time. An unmissable experience that you must see.    … Expand

    Perfect story, perfect zombies and an almost perfect multiplayer, the only real negative is how slow paced the multiplayer is compared to other CODs released at the time.

    Alex Mason no modo história. Kino der toten no modo zombies. A primeira vez na história de call of duty que foi possível equipar a camuflagem de ouro, muito querida entre a comunidade do cód no modo multiplayer. Preciso dizer mais?

    A short campaign which is never spectacular and never very clever, but always solid enough. [Feb 2011, p.99]

    By dint of obstinacy, Treyarch delivers probably its best with Black Ops Call of Duty to date - but probably not the best in the saga.

    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!
