Call of Duty: Black Ops - Deciphered

Call of Duty: Black Ops is a fantastic action adventure game that is perfectly designed to create the huge fan following it has accumulated. With amazing attention to detail and exciting scenarios to choose from, gamers can find themselves in the jungles of Viet Cong or in a prison camp in Russia without even standing up. Game-play is fantastic as Treyarch has ensured that the level of realism throughout the game is amped up as much as possible. Gamers are treated to humanized enemies with realistic expressions and dialog thanks to the use of a full performance capture where an actual actors is used to capture motion, facial expressions as well as vocalizations.

In addition the usual capture the flag and death match challenges that have been seen before, Call of Duty: Black Ops includes a new mode that is aptly names 'Wager'. Gamers have the freedom to bet away their virtual affluence on the hypothetical winner of themed challenges. Interesting and entertaining variants are the 'Sharp Shooter' and 'Gun Game' modes which encourage gamers to use as many weapons as they possible can in a single bout. 'Sharp Shooter' each player receives a different weapon which changes every 45 seconds. 'Gun Game' awards the player a better weapon after each massacre and ends when the player wins with all 20 weapons. Both modes are a test of sorts on the handling skills of the gamer, as they constantly change the accuracy of the different weapons.

Call of Duty: Black Ops also features 'One in the Chamber' where gamers are armed with just a single bullet for each kill and has just three lives in which they must emerge victorious. There is a whole lot of guarded creeping about politely interspersed with sudden and savage bouts of action to keep the blood pumping. Another favourite is 'Stick and Stones' where all advanced weaponry is strictly off limits. Gamers have to keep their wits about them and have the use of tomahawks, ballistic knives and crossbow to help them along. These are also based on technique and more importantly accuracy and skill and highlight exactly how much one can achieve from each weapon.

In most gaming circles, the shared sentiment remains that the crossbow that can be used in Call of Duty: Black Ops is the ultimate inspired piece of armoury since the introduction of the sniper rifle. One hit with an explosive bolt, the enemy explodes in an impressive and satisfying ball of fire in 5 seconds as the victim has the pleasure of waiting for his messy demise. Though, one must be warned that a victim of an explosive bolt can easily run at you at take you out with him when he explodes. In addition to the crossbow, gamers can reap the rewards of the tomahawk which gamers to hit enemies behind cover by aiming at a ceiling. With realistic features and inspiring game-play, Black Ops is undoubtedly one of the best FPS games created to date.
