The biggest first-person action series of all time and the follow-up to critically acclaimed Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare 2 returns with Call of Duty®: Black Ops.
Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 5.57/day in the week to Sep 4 → 9.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

16 years later and they still haven't fixed the RCE (Remote Code Execution) problem of playing this game connected to the internet. Let alone the price is still $40 for a clunky feeling COD game. Nevertheless it's still a goat of a game. I would only recommend playing Cods previous of infinite warfare on 3rd party launchers/servers since those would be the safest ways of playing these games. Sadly the RCE is baked into the game code so the only way they would fix this issue is by completely rebuilding these games from the ground up which most likely would be remakes which we'll sadly probably never see. I recommend getting it on sale for $20 and looking into the 3rd party launchers. I really miss the OEM feeling of these games...

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 8: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

I think this is one of the games I've missed playing the most. I used to play for hours when it first came out. I'm only playing for the Zombies, obviously, but that's all I need to consider this worth the money. I'm having a great time playing zombies over and over and over again.
从古巴到苏联，从乌拉尔山脉到湄公河河谷； 从现实的约翰·肯尼迪到虚构的维克多·雷泽诺夫； 真实的历史和虚构的剧情，在真真假假回忆中被反复拷问， 一如那个谎言与欺诈、忠诚与荣耀交织漫天乌云的时代， 新的世界大战没有发生， 但谁又能在波诡云谲的冷战疑云之下独善其身？
16 year old game that activision still charges full price for along with £12 per dlc, what an absolute joke not even mentioning the downright comedic level of security issues in multiplayer, this is the only game i know where exploiters can literally remotely access your pc just by being in the same lobby as you dont get me wrong the game is good, i just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate treyarch and activision
if you want multiplayer get the plutonium client

买正玩盗系列，真不是我鼓吹盗版，而是你游戏老是出问题，之前可以启动游戏，但是现在再次下载启动游戏，就一直卡在正在加载可执行文件，更关键的是，dlc 买了没卵用，因为线上根本玩不了，目前 PC 上体验最好的老 cod 还是现代战争 1 和黑色行动三
I honestly don’t understand the hype around Call of Duty: Black Ops. The campaign is seriously overrated and becomes boring after just a few missions. The story tries way too hard to be “deep,” but ends up feeling messy, disjointed, and at times completely nonsensical. The constant jumping between memories is more confusing than engaging. The characters? Completely forgettable. Mason, Woods, and the rest are supposed to be important, but by the end of the game you barely remember anything about them. They lack personality and depth, making it hard to care about anything that happens. Gameplay in the campaign is just a basic corridor shooter with no real freedom — you move forward, shoot waves of enemies, and that’s it. It feels repetitive very quickly and offers nothing new compared to previous entries. On top of that, there’s a serious lack of innovation. It feels more like a copy-paste of earlier Call of Duty games rather than something fresh. Even the “epic” moments feel shallow and scripted. Overall, the campaign is short, shallow, and forgettable. Once it’s over, it leaves no lasting impression — no emotions, no memorable moments. Easily one of the most disappointing entries in the series.
BEST COD EVER MADE .
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ video game I have played in recent years over 15 years since I last 100% on PS3. I hope everyone who is responsible for this atrocity steps on a rusty nail and suffer awful painful death.
