The Call of Duty: Black Ops ending has slipped online, and while Activision’s fighting off YouTube uploaders the cat’s out of the bag: we know how the COD: Black Ops ending goes, and there’s a surprise just after it too. Read on, and we’ll spill the beans.
WARNING: in case you hadn’t guessed, there are spoilers following. Don’t read on if you want to preserve the surprises of Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Call of Duty: Black Ops ends with a US victory (no huge surprise there). It begins with the player swimming to the surface of an ocean (we assume from a submarine or similar). There are battleships, jet fighters and helicopters galore. Safe to assume there’s a bloomin’ big punch-up just prior to the COD: Black Ops ending.
The whole shebang ends with a single line of dialogue: “It’s over, we won” and the award of 35 gamer points for unlocking the Stand Down achievement. But then the interesting stuff kicks off.
We see a solitary woman reading mysterious numbers into a microphone… a little reminiscent of Lost, actually. Then some footage of John F Kennedy in Texas, and the credits roll… but stick with it.
Soon we’re treated to a cutscene showing JFK having a chinwag with Fidel Castro and Richard Nixon inside the Pentagon. Then, suddenly, Call of Duty: Black Ops throws some zombies at the meeting.
There’s some panic, and the Call of Duty: Black Ops ending transforms into a playable mission. You’re JFK, and Castro and Nixon have done a bunk, leaving you to face the zombie hordes yourself.
Everything’s interlaced with JFK’s patriotic eulogising. It’s quite funny in places… until the zombies start to gang up. You’re able to re-build barriers to keep them at bay, but with only a pistol and your wits to defend yourself, you’re better of delivering a thorough presidential drubbing.
What do you reckon? Is this the strangest COD ending ever? Shout up in the comments section below.
