Career Complete

Today I finally finished the career, and I thought that it was awesome. The gamer plays through the roles of various different characters throughout the story, this is a clever way the developer helps the gamer see the story from multiple points of view. The story was great and very detailed but it jumps back and forth thru time as well as back and forth in between characters. Especially towards the end of the game you really need to be focused on what happens in the cut scenes because otherwise you will have no clue what’s going on.

There are many other game types that I am looking forward to playing but the wager matches sound the coolest. This is a new type of match that allows the gamers to bet against one another. Here is a list of the different wagers matches.

One in the Chamber - each player is given a pistol with one bullet and a knife. For each kill achieved the player will receive one more bullet. However, each player will only have three lives.

Sharpshooter - each player is given the same random weapon. The weapon will be used for 45 seconds before being switched out for another one. Kills will award the player with perks and score multipliers.

Sticks and Stones - each player receives only a crossbow, ballistic knife, and a Tomahawk. The catch in this gamemode is that if the player was able to hit an enemy with a Tomahawk, the enemy player will go "bankrupted".

Gun Game - players start out with a pistol. For each kill they move up a level, granting them a better gun. First person to achieve kills with all 20 weapons wins. However, someone who is knifed will move down a level.

Game Day

Finally the day has come and Black ops has hit the market for all us gamers to play. After constantly hearing about all the new weapons and cool new kill streak rewards the game has to offer it is great to finally be able to try them out. I ran out to wal mart and picked myself up a copy and began to play the campaign mode. The game play is more similar to that of World at War (which is kind of what I was expecting because they are developed by the same people). After only playing a few hours of the campaign I can already tell that this game is going to take a decent chunk of time out of my life. I still have yet to try the online multiplayer mode and the zombie mode, but I do have high expectations.

I choose to blog about call of duty black ops the newest in the call of duty series. The zombie level is just one of the modes/ levels that I cant wait to play. With everything from new maps to guns and killstreak rewards this game is sure to blow away just about any gamer.



Above is the world premier trailer for black ops, looks to me this game is going to have some exceptional graphics with great gun options and an interesting storyline.

This just recently caught my eye; below is the (hardened or prestiged) limited edition game bundle that includes a replica war medal, an rc car and the game. This is the first time I have seen an rc car being sold with a video game (great idea to make money) but could this encourage people to actually make and rc car with real C4 on it.
