You know what you are getting - a Newgrounds-style stealth game. Like Barro, It's basically an achievement miner. Shovelware, avoid.
Terrifically unfun game, except you can fight random NPCs.
I don’t play a lot of the newer CoDs, but Black Ops really stuck with me because it was a Call of Duty that realized its willingness to shake things up and go for a cinematic angle. Not to say it was a “movie game”, but really something where you felt like you were the star, not just a player. You had Sam Worthington voice the protag, Ed Harris voice your CIA handler, Gary Oldman as Viktor Reznov, and James Burns as your very own war buddy Frank Woods.
The clever incorporation of numbers stations and their significance within SIGINT. The missions where you’re smack dab in the action, or you see Frank Woods defy death. It stands out among other COD games since this is one of the few where I felt like my character had a voice. Even when things get a little “dicey” toward the end in terms of his mental well being, this was really was a stand out.
