As you make your way through the game his friendship becomes extremely important to you, as does settling scores with Kravchenko, Dragovich and Steiner before they do horrible things to the United States. Keeping this spoiler free, you befriend Viktor Reznov, whom some of you may remember. These steps take you through Cuba, Russia and Vietnam, among others, including a meeting with JFK at the Pentagon that keeps into perspective the historical, realistic nature of the game.
You begin to retrace your steps with the help of electrical stimuli and those pesky random numbers. Not to belabor the point, but YOUR CHARACTER HAS A VOICE! You cannot remember the information the interrogators are trying to get out of you, and a series of camera spasms and random numbers flowing throughout your screen immediately make you feel two things: 1) You’re a lot cooler than Jason Bourne, but have the same affliction and 2) This isn’t just Call of Duty, it’s a mind bending thriller that puts the gun in your hands. Something that longtime players will notice right away is that your character has a voice. Your character, Alex Mason, begins the game strapped to an interrogation chair being electrocuted in an attempt to gain information. While the setting change is becoming somewhat normal for the series, this is not your typical Call of Duty. Treyarch moves out of the World War II setting and into the Cold War era with a splash of Vietnam. Treyarch is the proud new owner of this franchise. Coming off of the wildly popular yet spectacularly broken Modern Warfare 2 and the drama that plagued Activision and developer Infinity Ward, the question coming into the next installment in the Call Of Duty series was simple: Could Treyarch take possession of the franchise now that Infinity Ward is a shell of its former self? After playing through Black Ops, the answer is a resounding YES.
