REZNOV MEJOR QUE EL INUTIL DE WOODS Y DRAGOVICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
黑色行动系列的开端,继二战和现代战争故事线后,最有沉浸感的故事线。
best zombies ever
nostalgia trip of a lifetime
Simply the best cod in the franchise. I love this game so much.
THE NUMBERS ACTIVISIONS WHY ARE THEY SO HIGH
old call of duty (before bo3) are so good
Прикольная серия игр, но вот оптимизация...
Very good entry in the Call of Duty series with a solid campaign, though multiplayer has died down a lot (though still quite fun with bots). Campaign wise, it has a very interesting story that takes place in the Cold War and is not at all related to the story in MW2 despite what the marketing says. Still, it is very good and an awesome fun experience with good and challenging but fair gameplay. Multiplayer is ok and I do appreciate the inclusion of the option to have AI opponents since this is now an old game, so finding a live match on anything that isn't Team Deathmatch is kind of impossible. They're also surprisingly quite competent, though they seem to suffer from issues with having to stand still to shoot back unless they're rocking some CQC weapon like a shotgun. Still though, they are coded for all game modes, which is mighty impressive and will actually try to play the objectives (e.g. capping points in domination and even stealing your flag in Capture The Flag). Killstreaks are also here as well and very fun, though I think the Hind Gunship needs a buff considering its the top thing and dies too quickly for how much effort u need to put in to get it LOL Arguably though, my favourite game mode is zombies, which u can play solo or online (highly recommended). Basically a survival mode, its quite fun and I like the unique spin on things, though I wish there was some proper progression here. All in all, a solid game, but for anyone buying do note that its an old title so you're mainly going to be enjoying the campaign and zombies (solo), with very limited ability to head into true online multiplayer (unless TDM is your thing).
As far as Call of Duty goes, I rate this a 9.9/10. Campaign: Out of all the games in the Call of Duty series, this is probably the best in the series. The campaign is dark and gritty and really captures the atmosphere of the cold war/Vietnam war quite well. (The only game in the series that is probably a bit darker would be World at War). All the characters are memorable and are given great performances. Garry Oldman does a great job with Reznov. Multiplayer: The art style, theme, and overall atmosphere really fits into the main campaign. The progression is simple yet rewarding and not overly grindy. There's no battle passes shoved into your face or goofy cosmetics from TV show crossovers that make zero sense. Unfortunately the multiplayer scene is dead on PC, even on the Plutonium client. Plus there's cheaters. I would just avoid the multiplayer unless you want to mess around with getting an offline "bots only" mod to work. (I cant give the game a full 10/10 due to this) Zombies: Classic round based zombies. Dark and gritty atmosphere with really nice music. The DLC maps are worth getting on sale. Play on the Plutonium client for the best experience.
