Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified seemed uninspired and relatively drab for an authentic Call of Duty experience, which is what publisher Activision and Sony had promised. Unfortunately, the developer's second console conversion was hamstrung the moment its first trailer was unveiled at GamesCom in August.

Instead, the campaign seems to be comprised of Spec Ops missions. It also appears there won't be a story mode in the traditional sense.
