Am I even playing COD anymore?

This was a question I legitimately asked at one point while playing this game. Now, this seems like a negative point but I posit the question: is that a bad thing? If a series is able to transform and adapt that isn't inherently a bad thing, in my opinion it's a better alternative compared to stagnating and releasing the same thing year after year. Honestly, I think this game would have fared better as a standalone title, as it's poor attempts to barely tie in to the Black Ops series weigh it down more than anything else in my opinion.

One thing I can't get over is how the game's campaign never actually happened, and the REAL storyline is inside the fast scrawling text at the beginning. Ballsy as fuck, but I'd respect it alot more if the game gave ANY indication that was the truth. They also finally got the idea to do a campaign mode for zombies, but then just have it be the regular campaign with zombified enemies and a voiceover. Lame.

All in all, this game offers some cool mechanics, kind of taking the exo-suits from AW and improving on them, however I fail to see why they needed to tie it to the Black Ops world.
