Goofs

Unless Dragovich implanted a radio somewhere in Hudson's body, which is doubtful, there is no way that he should be able to hear the numbers broadcasts, which are radio broadcasts and as such require the appropriate equipment to receive.

User Reviews

an OK game, but a disappointment

The Call of Duty series are awesome, every single game has been at least good, if not good, then awesome. MW2 and MW1 had a good multiplayer, black ops sadly did not. More campers, very glitchy, lags all the time. anyways im gonna review the game in 3 parts:

Singleplayer: 9,2 Very much fun, the characters are wonderful, the length is decent, i think Black Ops has the best CoD campaign ever, but Sam Worthington's bad voice acting, glitches ( especially the knife ) and lack of checkpoints are what they could have fixed.

Multiplayer: 6,5 The multiplayer in black ops is the worst of any CoD game. from annoying glitches to sh*tload of campers to horrible lag, the multiplayer just isn't very good. Had they worked on it a little more, it might have been better.

Zombies: 9,6 Zombie mode is the best thing about this game, you can play with friends which is tons of fun and it's better than special ops from MW2, spec ops was really fun, but zombies is better.

Overall rating: 7

if you never play online in games, then get this game, single-player and zombie mode is really fun, but the multiplayer is just frustrating and awful.
