WARNING: Contains Spoilers
Black Ops gave us lots of cool things. Some of them took a great effect. Here are ten things (for me) that shook the gamer's world:
1. Reznov: We never forget that Russian. He was memorable then, and memorable now. Why wouldn't you like him. His quotes are over the top, he's awesome and he's RUSSIAN. When will we ever see a badass Russian in a game. Not much, he's the one. But he had to die. That's sad. Yeah, all the cool dudes in CODWAW, gone. Probably except C.Miller. But is he cool. Uh...no.
2. Currency: Yep, now you can do whatever the hell you want for customization. For a limit, but cool. You buy the perks you want, which is an advantage and a disadvantage. You get whatever you want, but you have to choose carefully. So do the weapons. So yeah, the customization with a limit, which actually keeps the player wanting to kill more, to get more money to buy stuff to kill more. This game clearly has no affiliation to drugs huh?
3. RIP Dimitri: Dimitri? Dead? WTF! He's so awesome, hardly dies in WAW, and now he's dead? Unless you don't play WAW, you know him really well, as well as his relationship with Reznov. If you play BO only, you don't give a $#!+. You're just like, "Wha? Is Reznov that vengeful for that Russian. Those who plays WAW would say, "Dragovich, Kravchenko, Steiner, ALL MUST DIE!"
4. Clear PC's faces: You can now see them very clearly. In the Call of Duty Series, You can only see them in a cutscene, partially, or in the next game as an NPC. Here, they show you very clearly. You can see it every time before the game starts, you see them as an NPC, and you know it when the TV shows your face strapped to a chair. This is really new and cool. There's probably some logic that since the PCs are also NPCs, then f*** it, show their faces. Done.
5. Russian Roulette Scene: Don't lie to me. You know this scene. This scene, once you see it, you can't get it out of your head. You're nearly dying, a friend is dead, one will almost die, a Russian with VCs, the memorable VC Bookie and the ultimate suspense. This is one of the most cool parts. Its not even the climax. The climax is when you know Reznov is dead. But if this scene is higher than its climax, its definitely gonna be talked about.
6. Wager Matches: I never really played this because I can never get enough money. What a stupid jerk I am. Anyway, you can bet and fight each other to gamble. It makes poker look like your 1000 word essay. Gambling with ultimate fun. This also redefines Call of Duty. It seems original and its cool. People can either get double or nothing, or negative double. Its like the mystery box with a party inside.
7. New Nazi Zombies: Kino Der Toten and Five are pretty cool. Kino doesn't leave much of an impact, except for the new zombies, new weapons and new other stuff (why Takeo Masaki has a mustache now, I don't know). Anyway, there are many new things, creepy stuff and removed old stuff. No more DG-2? Awwww. But you get Thunder Guns and Winter's Howl. Cool! And you though the Ray Gun was the most badass. Also about Five, Kennedy, McNamara, Castro and Nixon, all shooting zombies. Would you ever imagine Kennedy holding a Thunder Gun killing Pentagon zombies? COOL! I got a Thunder Gun! Then that thief takes it way and you cry like a baby.
8.Sticks and Stones Weapons: I'm not talking about that wager game, but the weapons. Explosive Crossbow? Ballistic Knives? Tomahawk? Those are some of the most original, hyped, and crazed weapons. Everyone seems to believe they are badass. Just ask Vertigo and his Ballistic Knife montage. The explosive crossbow is just awesome. Damn! I hope they give me a Semtex Launcher. Explosive Crossbow? That'll do too.
9. No Quick Scope: People like to quick scope in the COD games. Then BO had no quick scoping, and it was an outrage to some players. I'm not a quick scoping person, but I started to know how it feel when I could kill Spetsnaz in a private match. I see him looking down the scope more often now (do you?) and I felt like players begin to adapt to the new way to handle sniper rifles. I don't know its good or bad, but people know that its known. I believe there's going to be a patch, either for or against quick scoping. I can't remember so can someone tell me later?
10: Treyarch: If you played the game and didn't know the developer of WAW as well as Big Red One and COD 3, you wouldn't have guessed Treyarch made BO. People say that IW actually does better stuff than Treyarch. Then Treyarch decided to make a bombing game. Of course, some parts aren't original, like the COD4 jumping onto a vehicle. However, it was awesome, and I think people are kind of respecting this developer. What do you think.
So that's what I think, if you want to share what you think, reply below.
Also, I just want to give a thread question: What would you want me to talk about for BO? Reply to me and you may get chosen, depending on what I know.
