TL;DR

Co-op campaign rocks with friends; flat alone and no difficulty options.
Endgame is a PvE extraction loop with rogue-lite upgrades that’s more fun than it has any right to be—until bullet-sponge bosses show up.
Omni-movement + walljump feels great: movement skill ceiling rises without alienating grounded play.
16 launch maps (13 new + Express/Raid/Hijacked) lean into clean three-lane fights; Overcharge is fun, Engagement is chaos.
Zombies gets a big map with an upgradeable car (yes, mobile Pack-a-Punch). Layout’s a bit “hubs and roads,” but the car changes the vibe.
Casual playlists drop SBMM: expect lobbies that swing from sweaty to silly and back again.
Verdict: A big, messy, highly entertaining Black Ops entry that shines in co-op and stumbles in solo balance. 8/10.
