Call of Duty: Black Ops


Publisher:Activision

From our Call of Duty: Black Ops Review
"Ultimately though, even the worthy Zombie mode isn’t enough to elevate Black Ops to true greatness, though it does push our opinion more towards the positive by masking otherwise obvious flaws. It’s a shame that those issues still remain, but Black Ops does enough right to (just) win an overall nod of approval despite them."

We test with the game at its maximum detail settings as configured in the in-game menus. The max frame rate is by default capped at 91fps, so we've increased this to 250fps in the config file. We play through a 60 second section of the Vorkuta mission, involving the death machine mini-gun and the subsequent carnage and explosions it causes.
