Call of Duty: Black Ops took me back to the Cold War in a way that was both thrilling and nostalgic. The campaign throws you into crazy missions with a mind-bending storyline that'll keep you guessing. The multiplayer was a blast too, with those iconic perks and killstreaks that everyone remembers. Sure, the graphics might feel a bit dated now, and the single-player is short, but it's still a classic Call of Duty experience. If you're looking for a tight campaign and frenetic online action, Black Ops delivers.
my head hurts from the seizure-inducing number sequences wouldn't recommend for the epileptics
my main issue was that black ops is really unoptimized even for linux, occassional FPS drops and there's no sound at all, had to use all types of flavors of Proton and Wine to make it work. Steam's Proton doesn't work at all and the one that has proper sound support ends up crashing the game when youre in a FMV transitioning to another mission.
Story wise, I think the game is okay, I don't like the Western narrative of Cold War and the Reznov part is sure annoying, kind of like Atlas with WYK in Bioshock. The sad part about COD:BO is that it was the start of Call of Duty becoming a cash cow for Activision because of MW2 and so on, every other game they thought they'd expect to see something good as an output, but in the end, this series has been dead since BO3 in my eyes.

Mason after spending a holiday in a Russian gulag: https://youtu.be/pM76LtznNrc?si=xQRt6GH1TQ5Y8zs9&t=3
Nuketown, Firing Range, Summit, Jungle, Grid.....
Famas, Galil, 74u, mp40....
The campaign was just unbelievable. Couldn't believe what I was playing each mission. Payback was a defining mission. That russian roulette scene was insane.
Escaping Verkuta had be going crazy.
Mason and Woods are my goats for life.
The zombies storyline truly became something special in this game. I must have played Kino over 1000 times.
Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo, Richthofen 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Too many memories. Made some of my best online friends on this game.
Will forever be GOATED
