Call of Duty Black Ops (E)(DJ1978)~INVICTA RG~NDS

Call of Duty Black Ops



Along with the console versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops comes a Nintendo DS rendition from N-Space. The development studio has already produced a handful of portable versions of the Call of Duty franchise, and Black Ops on DS is the latest generation of first-person shooters from the team that is also working on GoldenEye for the handheld.

Black Ops will be a standalone, individualized version of the design produced on the bigger systems, so it will have its own missions, voice acting and soundtrack during the action. Activision let me play around with the Nintendo DS build timed for its public debut at Gamescom in Germany this week.

The first mission I played was a squad-based first-person challenge where I had to work my way through an interior structure with my three other teammates. I started off with a sniper weapon, and this made it easy to pick off far away targets with its zoom function. It's not the best run-and-gun weapon, so I immediately switched over to a much more powerful gun.
