Call of duty Black ops |||

To start this semester, my first passion blog is going to be about the game that I have been playing most recently, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. The way that I am going to handle most of these blogs is to describe the game, and give a little bit of review from an objective standpoint, and then maybe go into my personal experience with the game, and different things like that. For those who are unaware, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is the most recent in long line of Call of Duty games. It is a first person shooter that centers around its online play and story mode.

From a purely objective standpoint, the game is a pretty good one. The graphics and gameplay are fantastic. It is a beautiful looking game. The color schemes used throughout and attention detail give the gamer everything they were looking for when it comes to Black Ops 3. Black Ops 3 takes place in the somewhat near future and utilizes that a whole bunch. The main premise of the game is that you are a soldier who go injured and had major body parts replaced by cybernetics, so basically you are part robot. You can run faster, jump higher, you have a jetpack and many more advantages with this aspect of the game. With games that are futuristic and utilize technology like that, the gamer becomes concerned as to whether or not it is still going to be a good game, or if it will rely to heavily on little things like that. Fortunately, this is not the case for Black Ops 3. It is still a good game that holds up to its integrity.

On a personal level, I really like Black Ops 3, and find it to be the game that I am playing most as of right now. I am currently Prestige 2, level 50, and am having tons of fun playing this game. One big thing I am striving towards is a thing called dark matter. In the online play of the game, you can unlock certain camos for your gun, depending on different challenges you have to complete. If you complete all the challenges for one gun, you get gold camo for that gun. If you get gold camo for all the guns in one subclass, e.g. shotguns, you get diamond camo for shotguns. If you get gold, and then subsequently diamond for all guns in the game, you get a camo called dark matter. Dark matter is a “moving” camo, meaning that the image actually moves during gameplay. It is a super cool thing and something that I would really like to accomplish. So far I have made a bit of progress towards dark matter. I have the subclass of shotguns and snipers in diamond camo, and few more gold camos scattered throughout.

For those who have played Call of Duty in the past, and been upset with the direction they were going and overall didn’t like the game, this is the Call of Duty that will bring people back in. It is much better than many of the previous games, and really makes people want to play. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes first person shooters or has played Call of Duty in the past. I would rate it a 8.5/10 overall. Until next time….
