Black Ops 3 campaign is the best campaign according to that one guy you knew at Community College who thinks Soundtrack of the Blind by Swans is a masterpiece because of its runtime. It’s not. It’s a social commentary that romanticizes a portrayal of a world so detached from empathy and meaning that humans are nothing more than mechanical beings who serve as iconography for a time when individuality mattered. It is a game that delivers its message so badly that serves as an accidental explanation for the title of the franchise.
Answer me this: What does Call of Duty’s title mean?
Does the title Call of Duty play on the people who were drafted to fight honorably when they were called for duty?
Or is Call of Duty a meta and social commentary on how governing bodies will enforce people to fight in conflicts as pawns in chess?
Maybe I’m reading too deep and Call of Duty is a reminder of what it means to be a cultural phenomenon.
Or it could literally just be that Call of Duty is a nice sounding title.
It also answers another very simple yes or no question as if it needs to recite a story as gripping as Romeo and Juliet. It asks you “Is war good or bad?” then makes you go through an acid trip of insulting and pretentious nothing statements for 8 hours to say “No, I think that war is bad.”
I’m glad it did answer what title Call of Duty means though. It means when it’s available to purchase, some 26 year old Taco Bell manager is going to put $100 on the preorder of the deluxe edition so he has a game to play when he puts his son to bed.
Rating: It’s asinine to assess this game like it’s even entertainment.
Genre(s): A frivolous reminder of how greed and success of a $60 video game can warp the integrity of an entire art form for an entire console generation.
NOTE: I played the Zombies and Der Eisendrache and Gorod Krovi, as well as the Chronicles remasters of most maps, are easily the best maps in Zombies history. But if I was ranking it on that alone, it still would only be a C because I hate it's multiplayer and despise its campaign.
NOTE 2: I beat the campaign again to see if I missed something and I didn't. There's nothing to it. It wants you to fall for its allusion of an ocean of metaphors but it is as basic as "War is bad" which any number of people can tell you with the same level of profoundness as this campaign, just without eight hours of time wasted. The map design fucking sucks, too. There is nothing to it. The game just fucking sucks except for Zombies which doesn't save the experience.
