I’ve never minded all the awful things you do in the Black Ops games, because it’s always been clear to me that as a CIA agent active during the cold war you are absolutely, unquestionably the bad guy, and that’s fun to roleplay. Which is more than Cyberpunk 2077 can manage. So you’re cutting about committing war crimes on behalf of the famously awful Ronald Reagan, but at least characters respect the pronouns you chose. You never see Bell’s face and they aren’t voiced (but do say written dialogue, Fallout-style) but you can pick their real name, two traits that offer buffs or debuffs, and as the internet has had a lot of fun with their gender and pronouns, including Non-Binary and They/Them. Frank Woods and Alex Mason are present, but they’re side characters, with most of the work being done by a create-a-character codenamed “Bell”. Last year’s Modern Warfare reboot/prequel dealy was decent but nothing special, and I was surprised to see this wasn’t the same thing, but instead an interquel set between Black Ops and the flashback, 80s levels in Black Ops 2. They do vary in quality the MW trilogy, the first two Black Ops games and Infinite Warfare are all really good, Advance Warfare was good and Ghosts was complete piss, but they’re something I look forward to each time. Not the multiplayer, mind you, just the single player campaigns, which I’ve unironically enjoyed since COD4 back in the day.
