Preview of Call of Duty: Black Ops

While in recent years, life was pretty smooth sailing for the license Call of Duty, the recent events at Activision and the resurrection of Medal of Honor is perhaps a watershed in the history of the series so lucrative. It is undeniable that Black Ops, the next installment developed by Treyarch, must be worthy of his predecessors, even if possible to offer more.

We also see the dawn as the violence, executions resulting in discrete small scripted scenes the most beautiful effect that enhance the immersion. Slay a sleeping enemy will certainly not following the precepts of the samurai, but it’s still better than to rush into the pile without thinking. Here truly the gorges open, blood flows in a very convincing and the features of pain that are emerging on the enemies we would almost worth it if it were not for our survival that it was. Note also, at the beginning of the mission, a rapid shift in bullet-time following a bullet to the head of an enemy for a very cinematic and rather successful (we do not know yet how it will integrated though).
