Look to the skies, to see the end of all creation again. See with your eyes, my army of flies, when no one's alive, BRING ME 115!

Great zombies, great campaign, I didn't play much of the multiplayer.

You are missing out on a great experience if you have not played the campaign yet. Just wait for a sale please.

good game but enemies respawning is fucking retarded in campaign; apparently Russians are made in the ground and quickly mature to fighting age

I have mixed feelings of PTSD and nostalgia and joy from this game. I just wish they wouldn't take so much of my damn money.

Overall it still a good game but in multiplayer expect some laggy severs. Also I haven't seen any modders/hackers in multiplayer so far

Best Zombies offering in the Franchise! Lots to do if you WANT to and can be an amazing simple round based casual experience! The DLCs are worth on sale for the Zombies Maps alone which all had extreme and fun personality to them! (Plutonium makes the Dlcs also worth for MP maps and reliving this awesome game!)

I have played this game through at least three times. Might just be nostalgia, but I love it!

PC port had glitches, especially with some of the lighting in dark areas and also occasional AIs that couldn't be killed. Very playable though.

Was annoying that controller only worked in the Gameplay and not in the menus.

The best story of any Call of Duty game to ever release. The game peaked with this and BO2, and slowly died afterwards. It's a massive shame that they couldn't do more cool stuff with the campaigns.

Pretty solid campaign the ending was cringe with the whole "Murica" moment but other than that solid campaign, great story and and even better wrapping of the events that happened.

Black Ops isn't just a game to me, but a game that I grew up with when I first started playing it on the PS3 console when the PS4 came out. I gotta say, I love strolling down memory lane, this game is my memory of how I started playing the COD franchise for the first time. I loved playing the Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombie modes. All three were a dream come true when I finally played with others like me who kept continuing to play this game. The Campaign Story will always be great to me, the Multiplayer mode would always be one of the best modes added with the weapons that I loved using. And finally for the Zombie mode, one of my dearest and favorite COD Game Modes, I have to say that it always takes me back when I would play with others online and remember the challenges of how many rounds just one person or more people can do. if you are new to the COD Franchise, this would be the game to help new comers play as they will, I will always love this game and I will never let my memory of this game fade away anymore.

Literal pinnacle of story telling in gaming, the magnum opus of Call of Duty games, and a damn fine zombies mode too. If you haven't played the Black Ops story yet, go in blind, don't spoil things for yourself, it is a master piece. The CIA, Vietnam, the Cold War, the 60's, the 70's, the 80's. It's thrilling and engaging, you won't forget it. And the zombies mode is, in my opinion, still the best in the franchise. Play it, you will love it.

Arguably one of the greatest Call Of Duty games ever made. Has a great campaign and amazing zombies and multiplayer. Multiplayer and zombies aren't too active anymore as this is is 12 year old game but you can still find lobbies after a while of searching. My only issue with this game is the $40 dollar price tag on steam, I think this is a great game but being 12 years old it shouldn't still be $40, and that isn't even including the dlc. I'd recommend waiting for a steam sale before buying this game.

I really enjoy playing the multiplayer, surprised that CTF is still a dominate game mode and what brings me back is that there are servers, not lobbies. :)

Highly recommend. All I come here for is the zombies. Favorite map is " Five " and people still play by the way. Multiplayer + Zombies. Even if you can't find an online game you can Solo , or Co-Op with other friends that may have the game. It's worth every penny honestly, and if you got a potato computer no worries you should still be able to get this to work and run decently by adjusting graphics to low.

I tried both black ops 1 and BO 2, but bought the first one over the second one. What I liked about the first one is that it has a good story line to go along with the action. When I tried the second one, it seemed to be less story and more shoot and just kill everything. I had hoped that B O 2 would be more of a story continuation but since I had to decide before the two hour steam limit for refunds, I choose to have it refunded. I don't think it is worth $60 or even $20.

With it's driven campaign, spectacular multiplayer, and one of the early highlights of the iconic zombies mode era, Call of Duty: Black Ops is up to par with being one of the most ambitious and prestigious achievements in not only CoD history, but in all of mankind.

If you care mainly for the Zombie and the campaign, ignore this review.
If you only care about multiplayer, just play this game on Plutonium.

Sure there are A LOT less people playing over on Plutonium, but you don't run into to level reset & class freeze bug on steam, and you can also just "unlockall" in you don't want to grind through everything.

so i use my ps4 controller for just about every game i play on steam, that being said why isn't the game recognizing that my controller is connected and allowing me to move and look around? any help would be appreciated.
