I got an Xbox 360 way back in 2015; it was my first true gaming console aside from the Wii. I remember being so excited to get the holiday edition including both Black Ops II (to play with my buddies) and Ghosts (which I was super excited to play infection in, lol). I got the console for Ghosts, but I kept playing it for Black Ops II.
Multiplayer: I remember logging onto the game for the first time and playing multiplayer; I had no idea what I was doing, and I don't think I ever got the hang of it. I played until about prestige four if memory serves me right, and my buddies clowned me because my first golden gun was the Chicom CQB (to which I don't regret). I remember logging into a private match on the airship map with a buddy and trying to do trickshots, having him end the game to watch the killcam when I hit a 360 YY noscope, to which I got clowned for. In summary, I quite enjoyed the multiplayer as it was mindless fun with friends.
Campaign: Its been far too long to the point where I couldn't fairly score the campaign. That being said, I believe it must be one of the best COD Campaigns to date (granted I haven't played many). The multiple endings depending on the many choices you make and the compelling characters are something only really the Black Ops series (specifically BO1 and BO2) were able to pull off. Gameplay is pretty standard (that is, boring) to me, as I find shooters like this quite repetitive for a campaign story at least. All in all nice campaign, perhaps one day I will return and play it again.
Zombies: The star of the show for me, and what kept me playing call of duty; the zombies was my favorite part of this game by far. I recall that I used to come home from school and hop on with an old friend, seeing how long we could last on Origins. I loved learning about the maps and easter eggs, to the point where I created a zombies guide for reference (that I still have to this day). I remember playing Town and Transit, Buried, MoTD, and Die Rise. I had such a great time with it all, and it will have a special place in my heart.
