Well folks, the weather is cooling down outside once again, and as our diurnal sojourns into the mellifluous carnage of the latest COD release wane like the ephemeral glow of a crescent moon as it yields to the blackness of winter nights, we are once again reminded of all things black and cold. Indeed, as we meld these motifs of war, coldness, darkness, and of course, Ops, into the decomposing garbage pits of our now-demolished brains, we arrive at a singular conclusion as an emerging hive mind, just as, in the nick of time, the elite minds of whatever shithole studio Activision has not managed to completely wreck yet bring this exact thing before us:



For the overwhelming majority of us who are still downloading the most recent Call of Duty game, it seems almost too soon for the next COD game to be out. However, owing to both Albert Einstein's revelatory finding that mass and energy are in fact interchangeable facets of matter, as well as Activision's new proprietary compression algorithm which stores each individual pixel as a 3 minute YouTube video with a sick dubstep intro, Call of Duty: Black Ops Goes Brrrr promises to be the most massive Call of Duty release yet.

So now that we all feel smug and smart as poo poo what with all them words I just wrote, let's get down to it and see what the gently caress awaits us in the next installment of COD so we can get our pre-orders squared away, buy external hard drives dedicated to a single pitifully optimized game which belies the fact that, shockingly, most game devs are paid significantly below the industry standard for software engineers, and prepare, just for the novelty, to sit in our homes playing video games and avoiding social contact.


Character customization promises to be colder than ever before

According to my latest Bing Search results, it appears as though whatever the gently caress they're calling this COD boasts an M1911, an M4A1, a motorcycle, and a characteristically barebones official website. Featuring a campaign loaded with "deniable operations," I have unilaterally concluded that the single-player portion of COD:CW will consist largely of going to a frat party and masturbating in front of another dude on a dare. The remainder of the plot is then largely focused on convincing your dubious fiance that it was just a joke cause they did it on South Park, and that you just watch Project Runway ironically. The second thrilling climax of the game is reached as FSB operatives threaten to release photographic proof of the fateful evening, sending your municipal comptroller re-election bid into a tailspin as it is revealed that the whole sordid affair took place while you were in blackface.


The campaign's lead protagonist about to enjoy some Fish AI

Customization abound awaits us in multiplayer, as we make a class with guns and maybe perks or something, and, hopefully, play army man dress-up to the extent necessary to convince all the little prepubescent shitbirds with their MAGA clan tags that our neon pink glowing ghillie suits are a testament to the unyielding tacticality with which we meet our divine charter of pwning noobs asslords like them. I literally don't give a gently caress at all, I'm probably going to buy it just like I bought the last one, and I will absolutely not hesitate at the chance to spend another $20 to give myself kawaii anime cat ears like I just did for COD:MW 15 minutes ago, nor will I pretend even for a loving millisecond to be ashamed of it.

Preliminary data has revealed that COD Blopcows will be up to 50% colder than all wars on record, despite resoundingly less blackness, so as not to offend aforementioned MAGA shitbirds. The data is still being compiled, as I cannot be bothered to figure out how to use Google Sheets nor walk across the room to pick up my old computer that has Excel on it, but rest assured, it is absolutely forthcoming as gently caress. To illustrate this, I have included exclusive screenshots of in-game action, each weighing in at an estimated 70GB should you choose to save them.


An arctic shitbird, one of the many killstreaks you'll never get because there are no corners in a loving igloo

So buckle the gently caress up for the 15th consecutive year or something, try not to think of the fact that you've been spending your free time doing the exact same thing that actual honest-to-god children are doing, and get ready for some cross-platform, cross-generation (in more ways than one), and, hopefully, cross-dressing carnage.

If the final product is like the alpha then I'll be skipping this one. The no flinch combined with hyper-fast quickscoping sucks all the dicks (yes, even yours). It was bland and unremarkable.

Just wait till you see how bad the satellite map is in chilly blops once one team fills the dunes with snipers. Even the farthest lane in the caves isn’t safe from those snipers when trying to get to any objective in the middle of the map.

they've said the snipers in alpha aren't indicative of snipers in the final game.

no flinch is still a 'won't buy this poo poo' issue though.

My favorite part of the anti-flinch debate is that people say sometimes you’d shoot someone and the flinch would take their aim from your chest to your head and make you lose a gunfight, which seems like the dumbest excuse for losing a gunfight since the internet started blaming all their losses on SBMM

Not at all if you enjoy the gameplay. I just felt like it was a step backwards. The maps were generic, the gun feel and sounds were mediocre, and nothing new or interesting was added. I felt the same way about WWII and ended up buying it against my better judgment. Played it for maybe a month and went back to IW. If the beta doesn't absolutely wow me then I'll save myself the $60.

I'm very conflicted about this game. I mean I stopped playing CoD because they hired Oliver North. Yet this looks cool and I played so much Original Black Ops I had Vietnam War flash backs.

I think you're all tripping anyway. It's one of those stories that's gonna be like "Reagan's the good guy but now he's secretly the bad guy the whole time????" And if y'all can't catch the hints at that trope in media (including other COD games lol) you're dense.

Yeah your right the series famous for having convicted war criminal oliver north and blaming IRL american war crimes on russia is acutally subversive and progressive. Were definitely the one's with the media literacy issue.

I played the alpha and initially hated it because I love mw2019 but now miss it. It was fast and arcadey and a nice change of pace.

I don’t use mount ever and don’t care about flinch but yeah the gun sounds and animations sucked.

Looking forward to the campaign though.
