Call of Duty: Black Ops
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Call of Duty: Black Ops constitue le septième volet principal de la série et fait directement suite à Call of Duty: World at War. Développé par Treyarch et publié par Activision, avec des éditions assurées par Square Enix et Aspyr Media, le jeu est sorti le 9 novembre 2010 sur PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC et Mac. L’histoire se déroule durant la guerre froide, entre 1961 et 1968, et suit l’agent de la CIA Alex Mason à travers une série de flashbacks alors qu’il est interrogé sur une mystérieuse diffusion de nombres. Le récit met en scène des opérations secrètes menées derrière les lignes ennemies.
Sur le plan du gameplay, Black Ops introduit plusieurs nouveautés pour la série, comme la possibilité de plonger à plat ventre (dive-to-prone) et l’ajout d’une lampe torche sur certaines armes. Pour la première fois, les personnages jouables s’expriment pendant les phases contrôlées par le joueur. Le jeu propose une campagne solo, un mode multijoueur comprenant des épreuves comme le Gun Game ou le One in the Chamber, un mode Théâtre permettant d’enregistrer et de partager ses parties, un mode Entraînement au combat jouable seul ou à deux contre l’intelligence artificielle, ainsi que le mode Zombies, très apprécié des amateurs de la licence. Il inclut également le jeu Zork dans sa version Apple II.
La campagne principale demande environ sept heures pour être terminée, et les joueurs souhaitant explorer l’intégralité du contenu y consacreront près de dix-huit heures. Propulsé par le moteur IW engine, Call of Duty: Black Ops a reçu un bon accueil critique, avec une note Metacritic de 83, un score OpenCritic de 84 et une moyenne agrégée de 82,10.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« It is mechanics that glue Black Ops 4 together, then, rather than any particular theme, which helps each component drill down into what its good at. The competitive multiplayer can afford to be break-neck at all times, because you can happily nick off and play the more languid, tense and tactical Blackout. »
« Blackout is the best battle-royale experience available today, zombies offers crazy customizable co-op, and multiplayer keeps things grounded for those looking for the classic core. »
« The ultimate Call of Duty multiplayer experience. »
« Black Ops 4 takes multiple ideas from other modern shooters today which breathes new life into the series making it an ideal multi-player First Person Shooter that presents something special to its fans despite their diverse preferences. »
« Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is a pleasant surprise. While it’s lacking in any major offering for those wanting a campaign to play through, everything else is refined and iterated on in meaningful ways. Blackout is a blast, traditional multiplayer is as good as it’s been in years, and Zombies is insanity in all the right ways. Minor concerns aside, this is the best Call of Duty package I’ve played in a long, long time, and think the trade off of a campaign for Blackout — something I was more than surprised by — has been well worth it. »
« Blackout is so fun that it could be a game unto itself, complete with set pieces that the players themselves create, either through bloopers in my case or amazing expert gameplay by others. It might take you 30 matches to become proficient at it. »
« It takes exactly what people love about the series and continues to fine tune the things it does best. This is the Call of Duty that Treyarch is known for. The story is still there, intertwined with lore about the multiplayer Specialists, but this drastic shift for the series has allowed Treyarch to pour far more resources into the parts of their game that keep fans coming back. Black Ops 4 might be missing a campaign, but it still feels like the most robust the series has ever been. »
« It’s probably one of the best multiplayer shooters released this year, and the AAA implementation of a battle royale is a fascinating thing to play, too. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Meilleur zombie de la licence selon moi ce qui vaut le 8, le multi copier coller de bo3 mais en moins bien et Blackout pas kiffé, mais juste le zombie vaut un 8 »
« COD: BO4: It was alright, pretty standard experience to be honest. Had some nice hero’s 7/10. »
« What happened? Why break what wasn't broken?! This is a re-wrapped Black Ops III multi-player with micro-transactions and cheap slop content! You basically ruined the game and took out everything that made this franchise work! Dumb! »
« [SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.] »
« Didn't like multiplayer and zombies was just ok. The new zombies crew is dissapointing as well. »
« This game is a genuine masterpiece compared to what came out this year. It’s time to reboot this franchise from the ground up an actually put in some serious effort. »
« The worst call of duty game ever made hands down. Bo7 is going to be the sequel to this straight garbage. To think before it came out I actually thought it was going to be good like bo3, and that could not be further from the truth. »
« Duh fuq is this ****. Duh fuq is this **** fuq is this **** fuq is this **** fuq is this ****. »
