Overall this book is pretty good for beginners but if you've played the earlier CODs, then you won't need the book unless you get stuck in the campaign. The book does include the maps, which is a helpful tool. The book looks good from the outside and lists all the guns and attachments in the game.

3.0 out of 5 stars call of duty:Black Ops Limited Edition (Brady Games Signature Series) Stradigy guide
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2011

I thought this product was vary helpful for multiplayer. Helps get you used to the maps. with the maps and tells you different stratigys. the bad part is none of the DLC maps are in the book. down side. when it comes down to zombies. I honstly think it was almost pointless for me. I mean if you need help figuring out what pack a punch and speed cola is. how the box works and things like that and how to get around the maps. yes it is helpful in that aspect. for stratigy though not so great. down side. take it from me ive been to round 52 in zombies. I didnt use there stratigy and dont like some of there guns that they recomend. to try and go for in the box. Im only giveing one example of what i do in a game on kino. that wasnt in the book at all. I mean this takes time but i dont open any doors until round five or when the first round of dogs come. which could be beetween 5-7. i also dont buy any guns until im in the mp40 room. or when dogs come. i use my pistol knife and gernades. then when the dogs do come. run up stairs opend two doors to the mp40 room get the steak out first than the mp40. use the steak out to kill the dogs. than after the dogs go back to the lobby. just you. let every one else take the mp40 room and you get underneath the loby steps. the door under the lobby steps is your escape route. dont open any other doors unless you have to. underneath the steps you have one window. and infront of you. try to use your mp40 for points as much as possible. keep the window borded up and zombie free always looking ahead of you. if you get overwelmed dont freak out. just pull out your shot gun. its one shot one kill but remember you get more points with a machine gun. If you get in trouble open the door beind you. if you had to open the door. at the end of the round go back up with everyone else. try and stay there until the end of round nine. i dont turn on the power until round ten. second round of dogs. as soon as round nine is over. you need to run to get the power on. get a jugernot. than try and get an hk21 and an rpk.I dont pack a punch until round 14 or 15. than just run zombies,with your money maker. your hk21. i leave a crawler on round 24 to get a ray gun and a thunder gun and monkeys. also get quick revive and always have speed cola. At round thirty or maybe tweenty seven go back to the mp40 or when ever you run out of amo. keep your thunder gun for reviveing and trade your ray gun for the mp40. remember always have monkeys for reviveing. the reson you switch back to your mp40. is because after a while it doesnt matter what gun you have. your not gonna be able to kill the zombies. plus 500 for amo is cheap compared to 5000 for an upgraded weapon. the only way your gonna kill them is by turning on the traps. when setting a trap at the lobby and theater. you need too run from the stage to to the theater to the loby turn around set the trap. run up the stairs to the mp40 room buy amo. go through the dressing room stop at the stage than turn around and shoot until they get right up to you than run. thats if you dont set the trap. in the dressing room. always keep it in that direction. everyon always go in that direction. is a good practice. baisicly just always stay ahead of the spawning zombies. if you dont want to get cut off. have the teleporter linked at all possible times. its always good to get everyone in the teleporter at the begining of the round. wait till they get right up to you. than use the teleporter. that kills some zombies in the teleporter. than throw gernades down from the teleporter room. this also makes all the zombies group up and they wont be every were. if i want to get far that is what i do. any way i said i was only gonna give one example for zombies. i think for multiplayer this strategy guide is very usefull. i will give this review a 3 out of 5. the only knock offs were. that its not very useful for zombie stratigy. it is for knowing were things are. like wepons speed cola the box but not good for an actual strategy. also cant help you for DLC maps. downloadable content maps. I hope this review was useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Guide
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2010
This guide does a great job of telling you what you need to do to beat the game. I'm no stranger to first person shooters or Call of Duty so I didn't use it more than 2 or 3 times during the campaign. I did however use it alot for the multiplayer aspect of the game. This guide shows which guns you should buy first so that you aren't raped when you play multiplayer. Another great thing about this guide is that it tells you some secrets about the game and little easter eggs here and there for people to discover. Also, it has neat artwork spread throughout the entire book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Overall ... just O.K.
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2011

OK so this is my second ever paper video game guide. I don't play many games and if I do I usually rather figure stuff out by myself rather than using a step-by-step cheat book.

In this case, I'm a fan of Call of Duty games, but I'm also one of those that don't even bother to play the single player campaign. I just go directly to the Multiplayer mode and this is why I'm such a fan of Call of Duty line - the multiplayer mode of the whole series. Black Ops has it's ups and downs compared to other games from the line, most people adress that to the studio that devoloped the game this time - Treyarh - and I believe it is because Infinity Ward get them used to some standards that now got changed. I personally don't judge the studio for doing that, it's just another great multiplayer game from Call of Duty series. Some things are different - but it's stille great fun!

Now going back to the guide. Due to what i Explained above I skipped entariely the whole Single Player campaign section in the book, so I can't say anything about it. Maybe only that the aome pictures in this section that I seen are a little ... loq quality - but nothing major.
Now the sections after this one tell you a lot (almost aeverything) about all kinds of weapons. Including technical data that you won't find in the game (like RPM etc.), other section takes you through all the maps, explaining some locations in detail. There is a whole section about perks that you can unlock during your game and also a section explaining all new multiplayer game modes as well as explaining what most of the gamers already know about the "old" game modes.

So far so good but ... and here are the major cons, that made me drop 2 stars and gave it a O.K. medicore rating:

1. Fisrt and for most, some of the detail data about weapons, perks or even gaming modes is just NOT CORRECT! I know i ordered my copy of the book before the game was released. So I first though that maybe something was changed in the final end-user game. But still, if that's the case, they should have not released it earlier if they knew something like that can happen. Those errors are small, but frustrating. For example in perks section one of the description states that when a certain perk will be upgraded to perk mode, you will be able do do that and this, but in the game one of the upgrades stated in book just doesn't exist! Frustrating, because I read about it in the book, and was all excited to unlock it, so i spent 2 days just trying to finish all the needed challanges and after all I just got huge disappointment.

2. Like some others have stated, some of the images are quite not up to the whole book in quality. For example all the pictures of available weapons look pixelated and are actually very hard to recognize. Same goes for the pictures of all maps. That's not something that You would expect in a nice hard cover book, that even calls itself a Limited Edition - from Signature Series (I'm glad i"m not the one that signed under that)

3. After all, it turnes out that I didn't really needed the book. Sure it was nice to have on the table in front of mw when a new and shiny copy of Black Ops arrived, but than I used it maybe 2-3 times and it was only to see what can I unlock in the future (which was a big fail too - see con #1). One more time, remember I only play multiplayer - so maybe the book will be more usefull for those who play The Campaign and need some guide.

4. And the last but not least - the SO EXCLUSIVE stand with all the maps ... no come on. IT IS WORTHLESS! The out of focus images and all the clutter on the, anyways too small to read from more than 3-4 feet, paper stand - all of that makes it just USELESS. So advertising this as an exlusive and helpfull addition to the book is really just funny. It's another worthless gadget for a shopper to convience him to buy tjis particular book.

All in all - 3 stars - a colorfull, nice looking edition with a lot of interesting and sometime helpful info, but with just too many bugs to find it very attractive after all.
