Vietnam like you never played before…with lasers!

COD: Black Ops is set in Vietnam during covert “Black Ops” missions. The developers try hard with research from war vets, a great soundtrack and missions that may have existed. Sounds cool right? Wrong. In a few missions you use Laser sights, camera mounted missiles from tanks, and Kevlar. All these “supposedly” were NOT invented. Camera mounted missiles in the mid 60’s? Also Ice-T does a wonderful job as a Black Ops soldier spouting catch phrases coined in 2009. Not to sound racist but wasn’t there A LOT of racism in 1960’s? They let African American soldiers in war ON THE FRONT LINES, not in a Special Ops category unless he was a coffee runner. They try to make it realistic but they fail because they feel they have to put high tech weapons in a timepiece game. I heard a rumor they are making a COD: Civil War. Your main character has a jet pack mounted on a high tech suit powered by steam and a kite that gets recharged when lightening strikes it. You’re arsenal is a rifle that fires illustration mounted cannon balls. The ammo draws pictures as they fly so you can guide them to the target. Relive the Civil War like never before! Here ye! Here ye! Tis not your four fathers war anymore dog!
