The Big Pixels reviews Escalation, the latest DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops.
From the summary:
"Gamers seem to stand on two sides of a very large fence when it comes to Call of Duty and its DLC map packs. There are the gamers who decry paying $15 for a few maps while the other side views the $15 expense as well worth the investment considering how many hours of gaming they get out of those new maps.
The real difference, I believe, is that there are gamers who love Call of Duty and gamers who hate it. Haters say it takes no skill, that the games themselves are filled with expletive-spouting 13-year olds, and that the series hasn't innovated in years. Fans of the game say it provides infinite fun, addictive leveling a diverse range of game modes, and doesn't need to be innovated because it's already great.
It's obvious who Escalation will appeal to, then. But is it worth picking up?"
The video on Black Ops 1 shows some separate rooms, assets, and other features which exist outside of the boundary of the game.
From DownSights: "Black Ops is not Black Ops without Nuketown. Following the tradition of releasing Nuketown for Black Ops games, the new Black Ops Cold War game also offers a revamped Nuketown called Nuketown '84.
Nuketown '84 has the same dimensions and map layout except for the aesthetics. The map's aesthetics have changed to fit the 80s theme, with destroyed buildings and graffiti-filled walls compared to a clean 50s suburban neighborhood seen in Black Ops 1."
Jacob writes: "What do we have with the original Call of Duty: Black Ops? Quite simply, one of the best Call of Duty titles of all time."
