Review: Call of Duty: Black Ops II

Call of Duty later became "no-win" for examiners. What was once perhaps the most important work of the year, critical game is now an annual exercise taking place between the hammer and the anvil. Love it or hate it, the result will never be enough.

Since intense reaction against

Call
of Duty: Black Ops II seeks to change many things. It adds a bit of science fiction, a campaign of great expansion, and all sorts of gadgets. Should be a reinvention of the franchise that hardcore gamers have claimed. One thing, however, you can not change ...

... The fact that we are all screwed no matter this

Call of Duty: Black Ops II

are attack aircraft, grenades mounted on the wrist, and cloaking devices. Oh, and electric glove.

The single player campaign is where these changes are easier to feel and that is where Treyarch has really emerged from the shadow of Infinity Ward to develop

COD

That's all alone.

the story takes place in two time periods, which revolves around the search for a charismatic and dangerous enemy, the messianic Raul Menendez. In a flashback to the 1980s, players follow Woods, Alex Mason and Frank in the pursuit of evil across the land devastated by war and learn their motivations. In 2025, David played his son Alex, as his team tries to stop Menendez plans to cripple the United States.

Although random starts to be little to digest

history of finally calms and sits on a fascinating history revenge (and an admiral who has a fascination with the word "son of a bitch.") In Menendez, Treyarch has created a charismatic enemy aversion remains difficult, even in the face of atrocities, while his plot to wreak havoc across the world turns slowly with a great sense of rhythm and drama. Location The variety is also an important part of the campaign, players move from poverty and luxury cruises countries affected by urban cities, in a sad more colorful and interesting than the normal brown military shooters.

Although the fight is still fairly linear corridors and spaces were enlarged and appear to be much more energy. The battle is not to hide behind the boxes and pop enemies in the distance, it is not a case of rolling checkpoint checkpoint. Enemy soldiers can flood in any direction, in large battlefields finally start pulling claws robotic units, armed drones and mercenaries Quad camouflage clothing. During the game, players can also access the optional toys unique rooms inside as its own camouflage uniforms or animal traps. Personal Loadouts can be created before each mission, giving many things

to play - and that's before the vehicle sections, mounted combat, and air guided missiles come in.

During each mission, the player's actions can have an effect on history, determining when certain characters live or die, even for different purposes. During a mission, for example, you are driving with your partner while enemies are in pursuit. At any given time, depending on the speed of the explosion of a gas pipeline that claims the name - whether or not you keep the flame determines what happens on the face of your partner, and if it passes the rest of the game disfigured. This is just a small example, with options most dramatic spoiler flavored and available throughout the game.

more story levels, players will Strikeforce optional missions that revolve around a group of soldiers and their attempts to overthrow the Asian continent. Measures in Strikeforce may affect the Cold War between the United States and China, and whether the two nations to be allies or enemies. The choice not to do, or fail, can have a negative impact on the narrative, but the failure is not death itself. There is no control of Strikeforce - if you can not reach the goal, the game continues and the results are saved

Strikeforce is a very different story missions beast, giving players control of a battlefield composed of several units, which can be ordered in the raised position and controlled directly. Objectives ranging from defense to attack and kill or rescue, and players can try the mission as a strategy game in real time, a straight shooter challenge, or a mixture of both. In addition to regular infantry, here players directly control clutches, drones and other machines, leaping from one unit to fight where the action is fierce. The action certainly

ago get fierce with enemies pouring aggressively and victory often comes over the wire when closing forces and threaten to destroy targets key or push their units without mercy. It is an intense experience, but an exciting anyway.

Strikeforce is great, and my only complaint is that there are many tasks to complete Strikeforce. Undoubtedly help Black Ops campaign one of (the longest and deepest of the series and really, all the military FPS genre at this stage ), but I really wanted more. A critique of the entire campaign is shifting strangely loadout screen. For some reason, sending new weapons, skins, and benefits for the solo missions are terribly slow at random points with selecting an item remains smooth for a while before taking a number of seconds (and multiple attempts) for the game to recognize your commands. The game itself works perfectly smooth, but I got to a point where I felt discouraged to change the preset loadouts for the hassle involved. said, I'm sure this is the best Call of Duty

solo experience supply, and although many fans will cancel campaign and look only to the multiplayer, I argue that it is a greater evil for all parties involved - both player and developer alike. In addition to developing a really interesting story, Black Ops action rhythm provides elegant and pure type

that has been absent from many shooters afternoon without a soul. At its core, provides the type of

COD action that will be immediately familiar with a new injection of vitality that permeates the whole thing.

Similar efforts have been made to Treyarch own unique contribution to the series,

Tranzit ', players build energy sources and open the doors to access a bus tour automated leads from one place to other, eventually leading to an underground base and beyond. This attempt at a story mode is certainly interesting, and offers something that feels more dynamic, but I must say that I'm not too fond of.

The biggest problem is that arms and ammunition are limited. There are a few professional fields that are completely unarmed Tranzit to buy, even if you're

Zombies, in addition to being incredibly resistant to bullets from the beginning, to combat multiple attempts to quit, and the player feels powerless most cases - not fun and survival horror. No more hassle and waste of time. Tranzit is a pity that it is so disappointing, because I really appreciate what you're trying to do, and I like the idea of ??a bus lanterns tirelessly through the desert, beset on all sides by the horde of undead. Sometimes the threat of fun, especially if you have a good team and have the chance to Article maximum ammo drops, but I fear that this particular twist
