Single player campaign Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 This is not just a holiday for James Bond fans. There’s everything here that makes CoD, CoD.

Pompous production. Blockbuster action. Massive battles in Washington. The moment when the special forces of a secret organization raid a secret CIA base, and half of the government quarter is reduced to rubble. All the classics that are nice to have again.

But it also brings the spirit of Sean Connery’s Bond, who could undress women with just a glance, as we wrap our fingers around a senator’s wife or catch our good friend Bill Clinton red-handed at his governor’s party in the capital.

Keep reading why we love Call of Duty: Black Ops 6The single player campaign and how it amazed us.

Best campaign in a long time

IDH

We think of Roger Moore as we are deliberately captured by a drug cartel, given a short tour of the mansion, and made to feel like the boss is in control as his secret plans are revealed.

This is how James Bond used to be characterized. He did not always shoot and penetrate, but instead infiltrated the enemy undercover and revealed his opponent’s plans through dialogue.

We really like this because Raven Software has addressed one of the major weaknesses CoD The campaigns of recent years: they were too samey, too familiar, too much a copy of the best originals. MV2 And MV3 were 10 times more ambitious than their new versions, if you remember the invasions of Washington, New York, Paris and Hamburg.

CoD has lost its blockbuster epicness in recent years because the single-player campaigns were designed to be too small, too safe, and too boring. They felt more like a limited series than a Hollywood movie.

Black Opera 6 the temperature rises again. Almost every level has its own atmosphere – casino splendor here, Governor Clinton’s presidential campaign there – and we’re treated to stretch limousines, the Secret Service and shady politicians.

Many missions have alternative endings.

IDH

What we really like is that missions are designed as standalone events that often contain multiple different endings.

For example, we could play out the mission to Washington in the style of Sean Connery as a gentleman who picks up some photographs of Clinton in bed with his secretary, thereby obtaining a photo that overcomes the retinal scan at the entrance to the security center …

…or play it in such a way as to lure him into an ambush, disable his secret service, beat him in the kitchen, and then get the desired photo. You know, in a Daniel Craig kind of way.

IDH

Daniel Craig was an extremely rough Bond, preferring brutal hand-to-hand combat to the good old Walther P99, which often ended up in a bloody shower afterwards.

He’s the next generation of Bond, not the tough Brosnan type who could fight his way through a ship, jump into the sea, swim to shore and check into a five-star hotel, wet in boxer shorts, as if he owned the place.

IDH

All in all, Black Opera 6 has great replay value. If you want a classic Call of Dutyyou’ll get it. Just like Daniel Craig easily destroyed 50 elite Russian special forces units in 10 minutes in the last third of the battle. No time to diewe can also shoot our way out if we want.

It’s much more difficult in Black Opera 6 However, than before, because special units of the secret organization called “Pantheon” use their forces more intelligently to quickly surround us and throw grenades at us or even isolate entire corridors with electromagnetic fields.

But we can also go the stealthy route with a silenced Glock, Sean Connery style, posing for the cover Doctor No with a silencer because he used it more than any other Bond actor.

And just as the mission design is well thought out, so is the story. A very secret style, very opaque, with many players placing their cards on the table at the end of the game. A bit similar Casino Royalewhere Le Chiffre was also just the route to the big fish.

Black Ops 6 offers a twisting story

IDH

Black Operas always been Origin belonging CoD world. A mind-blowing parade with a brilliant narrative, where we don’t know for a long time what is happening and who we can trust, where friends become enemies faster than Adler smoked a cigarette.

Black Opera 6 overall well written and we like the pacing. It has no problem slowing down from time to time so that we can enjoy the great levels and environments.

IDH

A lot of work has gone into the detailed Casino Luttazi. You don’t want to just fight your way through it; you want to sit down and play poker there, like in Casino Royale.

We also spend quite a bit of time in the villa, where we meet the crew and Sev with his personal vendetta, a real fast-paced artist who can go from an Afro with Rasta curls to a Mexican drug lord in two or three minutes. . Like Halle Berry in Brosnan’s best movie Die again.

IDH

There’s also former Stasi code specialist Felix Neumann, who is essentially the Q of the troupe, a laid-back guy who always has a new toy ready for us, but who also likes to cook for the crew from time to time.

Marshall is a classic US soldier. He is too loyal, his country has often deceived him, but he still wants to believe in a great cause. And there’s Adler, who we knew as an older man, but here he looks younger but is just as angry with Washington.

IDH

And there is also a plot component that we don’t want to spoil, but will please fans of the zombie plot. It also involves brainwashing and mind manipulation, making us ask ourselves: are we doing this right now? Are we feeling this right now? Is this just a hallucination?

Let’s just call it Call of Duty‘s BioShock moment and he makes this entry in CoD franchise, this is a must-have experience. Great script, strong acting, bombastic performances – all wrapped up in a fantastic package.

Our verdict on Black Ops 6

Finally, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 This is once again a true epic action game with a 10-hour campaign that is not only the longest in the history of the series, but also full of surprises and unexpected twists.

This is a true James Bond style spy thriller where we can play loud, impulsive and rough, be it Daniel Craig’s Bond or Sean Connery’s Gentleman 007. You can persuade wives, catch politicians red-handed, outsmart retinal scanners with high-tech cameras, track the routes of bodyguards, use your brain instead of bullets.

Black Opera 6 provides much of what we have been missing in recent years. We get huge sets, like Casino RoyaleCasino style, where we don’t just shoot and blow up safes, but also play poker like Bond against Le Chiffre. Recent CoDThey seemed small because they only took place in a harbor or military base; Black Opera 6 pulls off all this and more to great success.
