my head hurts from the seizure-inducing number sequences wouldn't recommend for the epileptics

my main issue was that black ops is really unoptimized even for linux, occassional FPS drops and there's no sound at all, had to use all types of flavors of Proton and Wine to make it work. Steam's Proton doesn't work at all and the one that has proper sound support ends up crashing the game when youre in a FMV transitioning to another mission.

Story wise, I think the game is okay, I don't like the Western narrative of Cold War and the Reznov part is sure annoying, kind of like Atlas with WYK in Bioshock. The sad part about COD:BO is that it was the start of Call of Duty becoming a cash cow for Activision because of MW2 and so on, every other game they thought they'd expect to see something good as an output, but in the end, this series has been dead since BO3 in my eyes.
