Interrogated CIA operative Alex Mason pieces together memories of Cold War black ops missions. Treyarch's paranoid story spans Cuba, Vietnam and the Soviet Union. It also brought Zombies mode to the masses.
Kit's verdict · 8.0/10
A twisty Cold War thriller that's fun, if loud and messy.Kit · Sadkitty Games

Tips
Play it better
- The crossbow's explosive bolts stick to enemies and clear groups behind cover.
- Look for mounted guns and grenade launchers during set pieces; they're placed there for a reason.
- On Veteran, enemies keep coming until you push forward past a trigger point.
- In the Vietnam missions, stay low in the tall grass and use cover rather than sprinting into open ground.
- Dual-wield pistols up close and swap to an assault rifle at range.
