This COD sets itself apart from the rest in my opinion, for the grand majority of the Campaign there are things you believe in that are proven to be wrong later on, it stands out as a really well written story that I won't spoil here, the Multiplayer is great and has a ton of iconic maps and the Zombies feels like a great balance between survival and quests compared to Zombies from other entries. This is my favourite COD by far, so why would I not recommending it? The game has RCE/RAT vulnerabilities that can be taken advantage of. In case you play online, both in multiplayer and zombies these vulnerabilities could lead to your private data (like bank accounts) to be stolen, so I'd advice you to use a community client like Plutonium to play safely. For a game that came out more than a decade ago this price is just off the charts, 40 euros for not even the full experience in 2026 is absurd.

Not my favourite cod but has the best zombies IMO. waw zombies is a close second. great maps and exceptional weapon customization. i should mention the multiplayer is amazing XD it genuinely sums up to getting spawn camped and wallbang through every single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pixel gap imaginable espcially on nuketown :DDDDDDDDD
Black Ops multiplayer is what happens when Treyarch bottles pure addiction and disguises it as "just one more match." The maps are legendary, the weapons feel fantastic, and every Prestige reset was basically admitting you enjoyed suffering enough to start all over again. Nuketown became a second home, Firing Range created lifelong rivalries, and somewhere out there someone is still convinced the FAMAS was perfectly balanced. The killstreaks were rewarding without feeling ridiculous, progression kept you hooked, and the gameplay struck that perfect balance between arcade action and controlled chaos. Then there were the lobbies. No AI moderation. No filters. Just absolute anarchy. If you survived a Black Ops lobby in 2010, you've probably developed the emotional resilience of a concrete bunker. Black Ops multiplayer wasn't just one of Call of Duty's best - it was an entire generation's personality test, where friendships were forged, controllers were launched, and everyone's mum somehow ended up being the most talked-about person in the lobby.
no split screen co-op neither x-box controllers worked in either the main menu or the game, 40 dollar game i played 10+ years ago for 20 dollars with an x-box controller. god i can't pray hard enough for ACTi vision to go out of business!
