Overview
Description

Set during the Cold War, Call of Duty: Black Ops delivers a gritty single‑player campaign that blends historical missions with secret operations. Players assume the role of elite operatives, navigating intense firefights and stealth scenarios across iconic locations. The game also introduced the iconic Zombies mode, robust multiplayer, and split‑screen co‑op, offering endless replayability for both casual and competitive gamers.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is a first-person shooter set in a near-future world where the United States has been crippled by an orbital kinetic weapons strike. Players step into the boots of Logan Walker, joining an elite special operations squad known as the Ghosts to wage guerrilla warfare against the powerful Federation of the Americas and their treacherous former leader, Rorke. The game delivers a multi-faceted package featuring a cinematic single-player campaign, dynamic multiplayer modes with destructible map elements, the AI-focused Squads mode, and Extinction, a cooperative mode where players fight waves of alien Cryptids. It combines intense military combat with sci-fi themes of survival and stealth across multiple platforms.
