The original game was released on PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 in 2010 as a follow up to Treyarch’s Call of Duty: World at War. Chronologically, it launched the year after Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, kicking off a brand new sub-series set in the Cold War. Its sequels would bring the series to a futuristic time period and introduce new movement mechanics while continuing with the popular Zombies co-op mode.
If you don’t already own the original, you’ll find Call of Duty: Black Ops for Xbox One on the Xbox store.
