Black Ops is the last truly great Call Of Duty game in my eyes, it proves that CoD can do more with it's story campaign than provide stupid over the top setpieces by having a more creative, character driven story that keeps you on your toes as you're not sure who to believe, whats real and whats not until the end of the game and even then there's some questions left unanswered.

It's the fastest game in the series, yes the pace moves faster than MW2 if you could believe that, but it is more grounded at the same time.

It's still a game full of over the top moments but they don't go the modern warfare route where it takes you out of the story.

The gunplay is fantastic, as good as MW2's gunplay if not better, this is the game where Treyarch truly came into their own with the Call Of Duty series, this isn't trying to copy what Infinity Ward did but rather it does it's own thing and gives IW a run for their money as their formula would run dry very very soon.
