Kevin Kelly might not look it, but he’s a trained killer (Seriously, don’t ask). So who better to spend some hands-on time with Treyarch’s brutal shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops? Kevin went behind enemy lines/PR booths last week during Gamescom to bring you back a detailed report packed to the brim with details, like:

“Remember the beginning of Saving Private Ryan, where soldiers are diving over the edge of the landing boat so they can avoid the German machine gun fire? That's what this scene hearkens back to. You only have a few seconds after the chopper crashes into the water and the Viet Cong approach, then suddenly you're completely underwater trying to escape (and able to really swim!) while bullet trails whiz through the water all around you. Fairly intense!”
