Call of Duty: Black Ops

Black Ops’ single-player campaign puts players in fictional scenarios occurring within actual historical events. It starts in the 60s, during a time of conflict in the south-east Asian tropics, and ongoing undercover operations in Russia to prevent a third World War. “We’re not shying away from the brutality of war,” tells Olin, who’s keen to garner an emotional response from this year’s game, something the gung-ho nature of its predecessors has failed to get off the ground.
