Line 6:
And thus begins Black Ops.
''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops]]'', like ''[[Modern Warfare]]'', is a [[Spin-Off]] of the [[World War II]]-themed FPS series [[Call of Duty]], but unlike ''[[Modern Warfare]]'', it takes place during the height of the [[Cold War]]. You play as Alex Mason, a [[CIA]] operative [[Framing Device|being interrogated about his involvement in various operations]], from an assassination attempt on [[Fidel Castro]] to [[The Vietnam War]] and beyond. The bulk of the game plays out in a series of [[Flash Back|Flashbacks]] that recall the many operations Mason participated in.
A [[Call of Duty: Black Ops II|sequel]], set in [[Twenty Minutes in The Future|the year 2025]], with flashbacks in [[The Eighties|the 80s]] has been released in 2012, and [[Call of Duty: Black Ops III|a third one]] came out in 2015.
Line 76:
* [[Badass Beard]]: Viktor Reznov, Frank Woods and Bowman.
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: According to intel, Reznov is 51 in ''Black Ops''.
* [[Bad to the Bone]]: ''"[[Creedence Clearwater Revival|He ain't me, he ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no!]]"''▼
* [[Behind the Black]]: The Viet Cong that blindsides Swift from the rat tunnel in "Victor Charlie" clearly wasn't visible by the player until he made his move, but Swift himself really should have seen it coming when he turned his head back after scolding Mason for {{spoiler|talking to someone who wasn't there}}. Of course, Swift wasn't the one holding the flashlight, but [[Fridge Logic|that just calls into question why he was taking point.]]
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Dragovich. Drago is a prefix taken from the Russian Drakon meaning "dragon". Vich means "Son of". so his name means "Son of the Dragon" (Dracula, Transylvanian for "Son of the Dragon"). In Slavic folklore "dragon" is used to indicate the Devil. So Dragovich's name actually means "Son of the Devil".
Line 248 ⟶ 247:
** Step 7 - Raise Hell! {{spoiler|Use said minigun to kick ass.}}
** Step 8 - [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Freedom!]]
▲* [[
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Woods shoulders a rocket launcher and exclaims: "Let's rock it!"
* [[The Stinger]]: {{spoiler|[[Gainax Ending|...wait, did Mason really kill Kennedy after all?!]]}}
