Call of Duty: Black Ops Cover Art


The cover of the soon to be released Black Ops, from the Call of Duty series, has created a stir amongst many gamers. Many are disappointed with the look of the cover more than the quality of the artwork. They are worried that the lone "jungle soldier" look means more sniper-esk gaming then COD's more traditional run and gun feel.

This is the first COD game to take place in the cold war era so the cover gives you that gritty soldier look. With opinions put aside, the work is high quality. You know its a war game right away if you have no prior knowledge of COD games. The dark and intense feeling from the way the man's face is shadowed yet you can still see a sort of intensity in his eyes.

Though it does remind me of a Stallone film like Rambo, the posters scattered about the mall and game stores really caught my eye. I have not been hounding my gaming news as much as would have liked this past semester so the poster caught my attention and made me ready to play.
