Some interesting thing to note, when meeting JFK at the point when it went in slow motion ans u said its like ur supposed to shoot him, on the tvs behind him they flicker and switch to screen showing JFKs assassination and headshots off Oswald his killer
@lucyjrobyn I would play it before playing any of the other black ops games, it's one of the best world war 2 games ever made. There's actually a spoiler for it in this game you'll probably catch if you play it next, that won't mean anything if you hold off on it just fyi
@@LUCYJROBYN I don't like violent games sorry but small children are way too exposed to this and the brain development of a child is very important. Games like Mario Sonic, Spyro and the like are better anyway for the family 👪
The old (and some new) CoD games have had some amazing actors. Billy Murray, Kevin McKidd, Gary Oldman, Kiefer Sutherland, Lance Henrikson, Barry Pepper, Keith David, Idris Elba, William Fichtner, Timothy Olyphant, Kevin Spacey, and many, many more.
It’s so fun to watch someone enjoy this game like I did almost 15 years ago. You have such great charisma and it’s refreshing to see someone actually pay attention to this great story line. Loved it!
I remember when this game came out and my friends and I would joke in math class, "The numbers, Mason. What do they mean?" every time I or one of my friends was called on by the teacher to answer. 🤣
So glad I found this channel. You're letting us re-live all of the classic games that still hold up today, and it looks like you're having a great time!
@@LUCYJROBYN I personally never played Gears, but I gather it's a popular one, and in a similar vein to CoD amd Halo so I guess you can't really go wrong with that. Titanfall 2 is renowned as being a classic - not very long and very little filler. All of the other games I like are largely story-based but not necessarily good for the view counter, but I'm sure you'll do well with the others which will keep you going for a while anyway!
CoD games stories honestly a bit pale in comparison to games like Mass Effect, Halo, Witcher, etc., but Black Ops actually has a cool story and some pretty impressive plot twist that is foreshadowed throughout the game, and when you replay the story later, it's amazing how game throw hints about this plot twist if you pay attention.
Black Ops easily has one one of the top stories in Call of Duty history! Voice acting was top notch all around and the story was surprisingly deeper than others in the series. I can't believe they haven't remastered this one.
as someone in the british military (royal navy) im loving watching through these in my currently ample spare time, this and cod4 are probably my favorite cod campaigns from my childhood
The Black Ops game that doesn't have a campaign is Black Ops 4. But it has a story, which is told in the form of a multiplayer tutorial. You essentialy complete tutorials, and you unlock story cutscenes.
This is like the third time I'm watching someone play this game, I think I'm adicted to playing this game vicariously. Also, as a newly bald man myself, I appreciate the Hudson love. By far the funniest person to play this game so far keep it up!!
I remember playing this on release, the hype was in the air! Then once you finish the campaign you go straight to the multiplayer Xbox 360 lobbies, they were tight.
First cod I ever played at my friends house, I have a special place for it in my heart. I think it has one of the best stories and twists in any game I played.
You are in for a ride Lucy. It would be better if you played World at War first before this but I was like you back then, I played Black Ops 1 and 2 and WAW ( I don’t know why lol) Enjoy it- I wish I could return back to 2010 and play this again and revisit the feeling of playing this for the first time.
1:29:09 The yellow barrels, they’re called fugassi mines. Barrels full of napalm. you walk up to them, press X, Mason slices the top which makes sparks and lights it on fire then he kicks it down the hill and it explodes and keeps NVA from getting up hill. It’s actually a pretty sick animation!!!!
i love watching people play my childhood games, especially the OG black ops and MW series. i played bo1 and 2 when i was 7 after bo2 first came out and its something ill never forget. of course im just finding this a day after you finish the series, but i recommend you play both the prequels and sequels to this game.
You are so cute the way you smile i find it very adorable lol great video i love this game this is one of the best cod ever made i hope bo6 will be this good
It's so cool to see the tvs in the pentagon playing the Kennedy assassination on thenews when he walks into the room 😅 Edit: Also love the soundtrack on the Hue City mission," The Defector 2," and the audibles from Mason with the close air support, "Sierra, Oscar, X-ray, Texas."
I remember when my sisters bf would come over and let me play his xbox and I always played this campaign i liked the graphics lol they looked so real at that time😂
@@LUCYJROBYN IDK if you play with your followers for games like this but if you need a party for zombies i was really good back in the day when the game came out lol
1:51:27 as someones who’s been fascinated with helicopters, I’ve always had the same reaction when watching the gunship charge for and destroy the tank with a flurry of hellfire lmao For some reason
So, when you get in the limo to go to the Pentagon in “U.S.D.D” and are introduced to a “Secretary McNamara.” That was Robert McNamara, who, in reality, was indeed the United States Secretary of Defense for much of the early Cold War period, under both Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. I was a nerdy 13 year old kid with a burgeoning love of history when this game came out in 2010, and the fact that they put real life historical figures in this game, absolutely blew my mind.
54:33 Look at her serious eyes / looking :D Hahah Lucy you're so funny.. At undercover mission, while you're talking with enemies, you're roleplaying like nothing happened :D Serious looking :D
Omg: yes, you're on a roll with these choices. Please tell me you've played Call of Duty World at War? It's one of the best campaigns in the series by far!
😊I would..LOVE to see chronological Zombies storyline.. its gunna be hard. But I love the story so much and want more people to experience it.. there's also videos to react to to make it easier lol
I know I’m late but in the mission where you are in the pentagon, in the scene where you meet Kennedy and he goes in slow motion, if you look at the TVs in the background they start playing footage from the JFK assassination and have pictures of Lee Harvey Oswald (they guy who allegedly shot Kennedy in real life)
If you’re looking for the main black ops game that will progress the story you need to pay attention to for black ops six. You can always start at world at war but I’d personally go with black ops 1 then 2 and then Cold War mainly because if you go timeline wise, I think Cold War will spoil some things for black ops 2
Since I'm a fan of watching the walkthroughs of the games I played as a child. I noticed that you're the only one who added timecodes, thanks for the video
huh starting more Game Series, that is interesting. I have not seen the story of Call of Duty, I always assume its just a PVP only game, same with Blackops. 22:00 the lighting here didn't age well 27:56 eh more like Half life, but yet again the bunny hopping backwards is more a Half life thing (if you got to ask, its a speed running tactic)
@@LUCYJROBYN you should, its very important game series that moved the bar in gaming. But if you ever do, id play the half life games made by Valve and Gearbox first (just so you don't mistake fanmade versions). Half life is Fun, the way the story is done is very great.
I have a couple of fun facts about this game. The Cuban government did not like the first mission of Black Ops over the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro. Black Ops was the first CoD to have a voiced protagonist in the campaign.
Next episode coming tonight!🙏🏼🖤
Kino is my favorite zombie map of all time that was the best of it
Best COD ever
Some interesting thing to note, when meeting JFK at the point when it went in slow motion ans u said its like ur supposed to shoot him, on the tvs behind him they flicker and switch to screen showing JFKs assassination and headshots off Oswald his killer
You had to play World at War to know the Darkness Reznov and his friend went through
Bowman is played by icecube
In case you didn't know, World at War is the prequel to Black Ops. You should definitely play it
I absolutely will!
@@LUCYJROBYNNo spoilers, but you’ll get a lot more context for a certain character in this game when you play
Yes Gabriel
You should play it before u go foward just cause it gives u context for this games characters
@lucyjrobyn I would play it before playing any of the other black ops games, it's one of the best world war 2 games ever made. There's actually a spoiler for it in this game you'll probably catch if you play it next, that won't mean anything if you hold off on it just fyi
This is one of, if not, the best Call of Duty story line in my humble opinion. Nothing can beat it.
I will forever remember playing Black Ops as a kid.
I feel like this story would be pretty intense for a kid!😭
@@jackson857 same here
@@LUCYJROBYNwell the game is rated M for mature so kids shouldn’t really be playing it
@@LUCYJROBYN It definitely was, but it was also so fascinating and it was really cool having fun while learning as a kid
@@LUCYJROBYN I don't like violent games sorry but small children are way too exposed to this and the brain development of a child is very important.
Games like Mario Sonic, Spyro and the like are better anyway for the family 👪
Bowman being played by the legendary rapper Ice Cube. Great Choice. This one and the 2nd Black Ops haven an Amazing story.
Such a great cast
He did a great job. Super memorable as the multiplayer announcer too.
The old (and some new) CoD games have had some amazing actors. Billy Murray, Kevin McKidd, Gary Oldman, Kiefer Sutherland, Lance Henrikson, Barry Pepper, Keith David, Idris Elba, William Fichtner, Timothy Olyphant, Kevin Spacey, and many, many more.
not only that but mason being the actor for avatar as well is just beyond fucking iconic

I love the first 2 Black Ops campaigns.
Also, I love how you have pinpoint accuracy whenever you're aiming at a friendly lmao
Ahahah so typical
This game got me further into Cold War history as a kid, especially with MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War. Honestly such a great story
I love the way they weave actual history and historical figures into their story. Was not expecting the President!😅
In fact, there are a lot of historical distortions. I advise you not to learn history from games. 😉🤓
@@lightcompanion9696 I don’t learn history from games thanks lol.
@@LUCYJROBYN 😅A little explanation: my comment was intended for @Andrew-id1v.
Thanks for your playthrough!
Ah😅 I’m sure they were simply inspired by the game too haha🙏🏼

So excited to try Zombies again!
@@LUCYJROBYN IDK if you play with your followers for games like this but if you need a party for zombies i was really good back in the day when the game came out lol
Will deffo incude it as part of a community night once I've finished the game!

so sick !. first thing i do every cod is play the campaign because of the bo1/bo2 days.
I’m trying to get the rest of the Black Ops campaigns completed before BO6! Got a lot to do haha
Hello Lucy I really do enjoy your gameplay of call of duty very much keep up the good work 😊
World at War, Black Ops 1 & 2 is GOD!!
Can’t wait to play them!
Absolutely love the video. Keep it up. I'd love to see a zombies video too!
Also Black Ops 4 doesn't have a campaign.

You should definitely play the original Call of Duty Modern Warfare because it is probably the most iconic cod series to ever exist ⭐
I played the original Modern Warfare games on my Xbox 360 back in the day😊
@@LUCYJROBYN Ohh cool, well Just one more lovely suggestion is Undertale it's an absolute masterpiece 💫
11:08 wtf that was a definite hit💯
54:33 Look at her serious eyes / looking :D Hahah Lucy you're so funny.. At undercover mission, while you're talking with enemies, you're roleplaying like nothing happened :D Serious looking :D
I love how crazy this fictional plan to kill Castro was and it's not even close to how farcical some of the real CIA plans to assassinate him were
I need to read up on some more cuz it sounds wild
@@LUCYJROBYN Yeah, like this one time when the CIA tried to put cyanide in Castro's milkshake!
@@LUCYJROBYN There's one where a woman was sent in to honey trap and kill him and she fell in love with him instead. 😂 It gets pretty crazy.
@@spongeaang98 Sounds like a Mission Failed Successfully situation there, Chief!
If you love reznov now, imagine seeing him again after playing world at war. Ah takes me back
My favorite COD of all time. Just played the campaign again! Just started BO2! Hope you enjoy it :)
No Call of Duty has ever topped Black Ops 1 since it came out. I hope they remaster it
1:06:32 LOL woods thinking about killing you on the spot
Omg: yes, you're on a roll with these choices.
Please tell me you've played Call of Duty World at War? It's one of the best campaigns in the series by far!
No but I think I will play it after the Black Ops series, didn’t realise they were connected at all!
@@LUCYJROBYN That's a shame, BO1 would've hit a bit harder if you played World at War before it.

Ooo
@@LUCYJROBYN I Agree With Others. Play World At War First x

This was such a good campaign. I remember when a new Cod gaming out was like a new Gta coming out. How the mighty has fallen.
The "hook knife" is a type of blade called a "Karambit'
Mason is Sam Worthington, Hudson is Ed Harris and Reznov is Gary Oldman :)
Correct!
fun fact, the guy in the first mission who you said has a cool accent is voiced by Ice Cube.
1:45:46 .. Look at that dead man near the table.. That man was the real defector.. Reznov was just in our mind.. The real defector was dead..
I can’t wait to see you play Cold War
If you’re looking for the main black ops game that will progress the story you need to pay attention to for black ops six. You can always start at world at war but I’d personally go with black ops 1 then 2 and then Cold War mainly because if you go timeline wise, I think Cold War will spoil some things for black ops 2
Really liking this playthrough, are you considering playing other call of duty games after finishing the black ops saga?
Thank you! I played all the Modern Warfare games when I was younger, I will defo try any other ones I’ve missed though
24:27 you said who did that :D If you looked left side (three prison men) You could have seen they used Mason's invention..Slingshot Molotov :D
Back when I was 9/10 years old… God where does the time go.
My top COD’s are;
1. BO2/BO1
2. MW2
7th grade when this was released ❤
One of those old COD who wasn't afraid to get "dark" and say some names, BO1 is as good as the MW trilogy
Loving it so far!
7:32 holy crap that was a uncanny resemblance
New sub 🙂. I love black ops
48:30 he died 47 years before this game came out so i doubt the developers asked him for permission
Yep, that’s the joke😂
I wm utterly oblivious as to whether you dig horror games or not, but here's one to a few worthy scares > Alien Isolation
LOVE IT! I played it a few years ago, before my TH-cam days sadly. I might play it again around Halloween time.
Bowman is ice cube
This game blurred the lines between reality and phantasy.
Never thought i'd see a random female streamer play one of my favorite call of dutys ever.
For you Mason not for me
Shit gets me every time. Especially being a WaW kid

I only wished you used the grenade launcher in the rifle more. Its like a 4th weapon.

Ice Cube plays the voice actor for Bowman
Back when cod campaigns were actually fun

Pew pew!
So if no one mentioned, the code words Prospero, Ariel and Sycorax come from The Tempest by William Shakespeare.
S.O.G. Khe Sanh was always a nightmare on Veteran smfh
11:41 in this part there’s usually a slow mo of the bullet traveling to his face but for you it didn’t trigger for some reason
What does it mean?! Mason. Woods. Castro. Secure the Keys.
Ascend from darkness!
FYI Thats gary oldman voicing reznov!
So so good
I love ur videos the amazing ❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
The original Black Ops was the first of many campaign mindfucks from Treyarch.
Hate me or love me but I’m only watching you because you’re beautiful and entertaining.

huh starting more Game Series, that is interesting. I have not seen the story of Call of Duty, I always assume its just a PVP only game, same with Blackops.
22:00 the lighting here didn't age well
