Call of Duty: Black Ops

We’re talking about the original Black Ops. It recently became backwards compatible and was on sale on Xbox Live for $10 too.

I also played a bit more last night. I’m still trying to escape from Russian prison. Last time I was too bored to continue with the campaign in Cuba, now I’m bored in Russia. So far the campaign is just soooooo lacking in any interesting gameplay. Move forward, shoot at folks. Move forward, shoot at folks. Even their attempts to vary it up a little (grab the harpoon!) end up being a frustrating puzzle (shoot at the helicopter! But wait! Choose your moment! You’re dead! Reload from checkpoint. Choose your moment! You’re dead! Reload from checkpoint. Repeat for 10 minutes until you get the correct section of the helicopter that corresponds to the scripted moment they want you to see). Gah. I hate this stupid game so much.

I’ve made some progress over the last two years since my last post. I have to admit when they had me sit across from President Kennedy and I was wondering “Wait, are they going to make me kill Kennedy in the situation room?” The game was kind of interesting in that moment.

Now I’m in the next mission moving forward and shooting at folks. And moving forward and shooting at folks.
