Gameplay:

Overview

Black Ops is a first-person shooter. The player assumes the role of a foot soldier and thus has access to various firearms, of which two at a time can be carried, as well as explosives such as grenades and other equipment to fight enemies. When players are close enough to an enemy, they can perform a melee attack which ensures a one-hit-kill. A character can be positioned in one of the three stances: standing, crouching, or prone; each affecting the character's rate of movement, accuracy, and stealth. The player can directly dive prone from a standing position. The player can momentarily run faster before getting tired. When the character has taken damage, the screen glows red. Health regenerates by avoiding damage. When the character is within the blast radius of a live grenade, a marker indicates the direction of the grenade, helping the player to either flee or throw it back. The game features a variety weapons such as crossbows (with alternative explosive ammunition), Dragon's Breath rounds and ballistic knives.[12][13]

Campaign

The player assumes the role of various characters during the single-player campaign, changing perspectives throughout the story. The playable characters are special forces operatives conducting black operations[11]heads-up display, which marks the direction and distance towards and from such objectives. The player is accompanied by friendly troops who cannot be issued orders. Although primarily a first-person shooter, the player pilots a Hind helicopter and guides friendly troops from a SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft.[12][13][14] The campaign is filled with scripted cinematic moments. One of them is a bullet time effect during the "Victor Charlie" level, activated when the player fires toward the last enemy of a Viet Cong squad.[15] behind enemy lines. In this way, the player's characters have their own traits such as voices and shadows. Each mission features a series of objectives that are displayed on the

Multiplayer


Players can customize their weaponry in the game, as seen with this customized FAMAS.
The online multiplayer mode of Black Ops retains the experience points and unlockable reward system that has been kept since Call of Duty 4. The game's multiplayer focuses on socialization and customization.[11]perks[13]: weapons are extensively customizable with clan tag writing, emblems, attachments and camouflage painting. Even reticles can be modified. There are more than one style for an attachment, which allows for a lot more personalized weaponry; for example, the player can choose between a Red Dot Sight or a Reflex Sight, both of which share the same traits only visually look different. Character models depend on the first tier perk instead of the weapon's type. Furthermore, face paints can be unlocked.[16] "Create-a-Class 2.0" allows enhanced personalization with appearance items as well as upgradable
A currency system has been implemented allowing players to buy weapons, accessories and clothes. Players can gamble with their "COD Points" in a free-for-all based playlist called "Wager Match", which is composed of four game modes.[17] Time limited objectives known as "Contracts" can be purchased to gain more currency and experience points.[16] New custom killstreak rewards include RC explosive cars, guided missiles and controllable attack helicopters.[18] For the first time in the series, clips from online gameplay can be recorded. Players can play alone or with friends against AI opponents in "Combat Training" with a separate progression system.[19] Online split screen (which was featured in Call of Duty 3) is re-introduced on Xbox 360 and PS3. The guest account can rank up but is reset after each sign out. Only on Xbox 360, a second Gold Xbox Live account can be brought to keep the second player's progression.[20] Some PC specific features that were taken away from Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 return, such as lean,[21] mod tools, the developer console[22] and dedicated servers.[23] Dedicated servers are exclusively provided by Game Servers.[24] Steam is the exclusive platform for Black Ops on PC, so the game is protected by Valve Anti-Cheat.[25] The zombie mode of World at War returns[26] as a four-player online and two-player split screen co-op mode in which players take the roles of John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Robert McNamara, and Fidel Castro as they fight zombies at the Pentagon[27] [28], while the original team of Nazi Zombies in World At War, Tank Dempsey, Doctor Richtofen, Nikolai Belinski, and Takeo Masaki returns to fight the zombies as well.[29] Limited editions of the game offers four zombie maps from World at War.[30] The Wii version of the game includes in-game voice chat. This is the first Call of Duty title to include the voice chat feature for the Wii. Nintendo and PDP have partnered to release the first headset to be used with the Wii known as PDP's Headbanger Headset.





STORY PLOT:
On February 25, 1968, Studies and Observations Group (SOG) operative Alex Mason is strapped to a chair in an interrogation room. Unaware of his whereabouts, he is repeatedly bombarded with questions by his unseen captors. The majority of the game takes place between 1961 and 1968.
The game begins with Mason and team members Frank Woods and Bowman carrying out an assassination attempt on Fidel Castro during the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba on April 17, 1961. Mason seemingly succeeds in the assassination, but exfiltration from the country goes awry, with Mason volunteering himself to hold off the Cuban army to protect the extraction plane from being shot down. Mason is captured and it is revealed that he actually killed a Castro impostor. Having formed an alliance with the Soviet Union, the genuine Castro hands Mason over to a General Nikita Dragovich. Mason is then held captive at a gulag in Vorkuta for two years.
During his imprisonment, Mason befriends Viktor Reznov, a prisoner who was formerly in the Red Army. Reznov tells Mason the identities of the people involved with Mason’s torture: Dragovich, Lev Kravchenko, and an ex-Nazi scientist, Friedrich Steiner. All three have a connection to Reznov: in October 1945 Reznov - along with Dragovich, Kratvechenko, and Dimitri Petrenko - was a part of a unit sent to locate Steiner, then a German chemist who defected to the Soviet Union. During the course of the operation, Reznov is betrayed by Dragovich, who uses Steiner's creation, a nerve agent known as "Project Nova" on Petrenko to test its effectiveness. Project Nova is salvaged by the Russians, becoming known as "Nova-6". Shortly afterwards, Reznov was imprisoned in Vorkuta. Mason and Reznov spark a prisoner uprising to escape the gulag, but only Mason gets away.
One month later, President John F. Kennedy authorizes the assassination of Dragovich. In November 1963, Mason, Jason Hudson, Woods and Bowman are dispatched to Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Kazakh SSRSoviet space program, rescue Russian-born CIA agent Grigori Weaver, and eliminate members of the Soviet Ascension program. Intelligence suggests that Dragovich will be on site, but the KGB agent eludes death, prompting Mason to scour the globe for him over the next five years. to disrupt the
In January 1968 the Studies and Observations Group is sent to Vietnam to investigate the Soviets' presence in the communist state. After helping the Marines defend Khe Sanh, the SOG is deployed to Hue during the Tet Offensive to recover a dossier on Dragovich’s defector. The team recovers the dossier, while Mason encounters Reznov. During the course of the Vietnam campaign, lines of dialogue hint that Mason is mentally unstable, and that Reznov may not actually exist. The SOG team penetrates Laos to recover a shipment from a downed Soviet cargo plane, revealed to be Nova-6. The mission goes badly, with Mason, Woods, Bowman, and Reznov being captured. The four break out of prison and kill Kravchenko, but Bowman and Woods perish during the escape. Meanwhile, Hudson and Weaver interrogate Clarke, a British chemical engineer who stabilized Nova-6 in Kowloon as the Russians were unable to perfect it. Clarke co-operates, identifying Steiner as part of the conspiracy, and locates a production facility in the Ural Mountains. The party is attacked and Clarke killed by Spetznaz operatives as the team escape over rooftops. Hudson and Weaver head to the Ural Mountains to destroy the manufacturing facility and apprehend Steiner. While destroying the facility, Hudson receives a transmission from Steiner on the base to meet him at Rebirth Island in the Aral Seanumbers broadcast to Soviet agents in America with instructions to release Nova-6 gas in population centers. Meanwhile, Mason and Reznov reunite, heading to Rebirth Island themselves to assassinate Steiner as Reznov believes the CIA want Steiner and the Nova-6 gas for themselves. Reznov executes Steiner, but Hudson witnesses Mason carrying out the deed himself. to learn how to halt a
At this point, Hudson and Weaver are revealed as Mason's interrogators. Hudson realises that Dragovich brainwashed Mason to understand the numbers broadcasts, effectively becoming a Soviet sleeper agent. Mason's interrogation is intended to break down Dragovich's programming, but when this proves unsuccessful, Hudson deliberately sets Mason free in order to follow him. It is revealed that Reznov actually died during the Vorkuta break-out, and Mason’s visions of Reznov were a result of a dissociative personality disorder, a byproduct of Reznov having sabotaged Mason’s brainwashing program. Mason deciphers the numbers, revealing the location of a Russian cargo ship called the Rusalka off of the coast of Cuba.
At the crack of dawn, Hudson, Mason, and Weaver spearhead an assault on the Rusalka, with Mason and Hudson infiltrating an underwater broadcast station protected by the ship, a Soviet submarine station that Dragovich intends to use as a staging point for an invasion of the United States after his planned Nova-6 attack. Confirming that the Rusalka is the numbers station, Hudson calls in the US Navy to destroy the ship and its underwater base. Mason and Hudson agree to hunt Dragovich, finally killing him in the lower levels of the station. When the battle is over, Hudson and Mason swim for the surface, as the wreckage of the RusalkaRusalka’s destruction. The story then cuts to archive footage of President Kennedy prior to his assassination, with the broadcaster and Mason narrating random numbers. After a second play-through of the archive footage, Mason’s final words suggest that he assassinated Kennedy.
