The following are my impressions of the first level of the Call of Duty: Black Ops single player campaign. If you are like me and you don't want anything being spoiled for you, please stop reading. However, it's just the opening level, so it's major-spoiler free.The game starts fast and furious, and doesn't wait to put you in some pretty harrowing situations. The opening level occurs during the Bay of Pigs disaster in Cuba, which is really cool because it's one of those famous military events that I know very little about, and it's a completely unique setting. You move through the level on a mission to kill Castro, and fight alongside two other commandos - one of which is bat-shit crazy, and the other is Ice-T. From the first minute of the level (where your bat-shit crazy friend stabs a dude in the hand in a real "What the fuck did you do that for?!" moment), to the closing heroics where you...I'll let you discover that one on your own, the adrenaline is jacked to the max with nary a moment to catch your breath. It's like a stereo with only two volume settings - one and eleven.
By the end of the first level, I had smoked more Cubans than Tony Montana and probably destroyed the livelihoods of dozens of farmers (and one bar owner) just trying to make a living. It's a really exciting opening to the game, and really has me excited for what is to come. I guess I'll see soon enough.
