True Story About Call of Duty: Black Ops

Call of Duty tells a true story about war. It is very chaotic, there is no happy ending, and PTSD can become a serious problem after serving in the war. Call of Duty: Black Ops takes place during the Cold War, a period of time in the second half of the 20th century when tensions between the United States and the USSR threatened to plunge the world into a Third World War. They constantly fought battles around the world in the name of their respective ideologies. One way we can see how Call of Duty is a true story, is how in one mission, we see how when they found Fidel Castro, the whole village were going crazy. Then after that they tried to run the Americans out by throwing grenades in the building they were in. According to O’Brien this makes it a true story, it was really chaotic and made a big crazy scene. 

Another reason why Call of Duty: Black Ops is a true story because there is no happy ending. Usually, there is, because the soldier always returns home to visit his family like every other army story. But in Black Ops it is different, at the end of the game we see his best friend dies from a grenade, but then the main character ran to his friend that died from the grenade and got caught in friendly fire because they thought he was an enemy. This makes it a true story because I feel really bad and doesn’t make me feel uplifted.

 Lastly, Call of Duty: Black Ops is a true story because one of the main characters ended up having PTSD after serving so many years in the war. We see in one mission where he sees his close friend, outside of the army, he starts to have visions. This vision show him trying to kill his own close friend because he thought it was an enemy he fought but lost in the war. This is considered a true story because people don’t see the side effects of going into the army. People don’t see what you go through or how you developed the disorder, they only see how you are fighting for the country. Call of Duty: Black Ops is a true story, Tim O'Brien would agree!
