In the Action with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, acknowledged as the one of the best games of the year, is now available for purchase. I have played through Black Ops Cold War and I am quite impressed with the multiplayer combat for this game so far. The combined arms 12 vs. 12 map called Cartel, set in a stronghold in Nicaragua. The map is filled with a jungle feel and various types of terrain that will keep you on the edge. You want to be careful of the tall grass in the middle of the map, because players  are lying and waiting to pick off opponents at anytime. The tower provides a 360 degree look of the map and helps you see players in the river, field, stations and the hangar. The riverbed is the most dangerous place on the map, because players can come from any direction  and   there is not much to take cover behind. The hangar is quiet most of the time and the transport truck is a great place for coverage and view of the field. I really love this map, because  it brings intensity and gives you a adrenaline rush everytime.

The gunplay is thrilling and I love the Milano 821 Submachine gun, because it is lightweight and is a very accurate weapon for the players who love to get close and personal like I do. In my first game of team deathmatch, I really enjoyed the graphics, atmosphere, sounds and was pumped, because I ended the match 40 kills to 8 deaths. I really enjoyed using the M16 rifle, because of its range, impeccable accuracy and strong damage.  When I played the Map Satellite, I used the M16, because you want to have a weapon with long range and with a fantastic fire rate on such a large-scale map. Satellite is deep in the sandy  desert of Central Africa and I feel is a map for close range weapons, because you will be face to face with your enemy very quickly and the tight desert trenches where you are your to meet enemy’s every time.

Deep in the Russian city of Moscow, this map is another classic  close range map,  because it has tons of cars and objects to hide behind and a gives you a insane adrenaline rush. Miami is not my favorite  map, but is exciting with a beach feel and plenty of bright neon lights. Crossroads gives you a cold snow covered feel and is loved by snipers, because of it’s open spaces areas, but enough structures throughout to have close-quarters combat. There are ten multiplayer maps so far and I am sure more to come. This Call of Duty is probably my favorite so far , because it feels like a mixture of  black ops 1-4 and gives you  new thrills and spills in Call of Duty Cold War. The game is set from the year 1968 and 1981, but when using weapons in the game, you do not always feel your using older weapons. The game is developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, but published by Activision. This will be the sixth installment of the Call of Duty Black ops Series.

I love the multiplayer and the new game mode, Fireteam, which can allow up to 40 players to participate. I love how smooth the gameplay experience is in the multiplayer mode with the shooting and aiming of the weapons, but can still use some tweaks and updates. I have noticed when playing , that the snipers had been nerfed and I was able to make a good 10-yard run without being picked off by so many campers willing and waiting patiently. On some of the maps I have noticed how vast they are for just a few players, so I am hoping for the addition of more players added in to these such vast maps, like Moscow or Miami.   The time-to-kill I really enjoy and I think it is right on point if you play core.  I have never been really a person who sits and camps, but I do like using the sniper rifle in this game, because the places you can hide and easily pick off people from a good distance. When gaming I like being close and personal with my opponents and I like to move fast paced, so I am really enjoying the mobility in this game and feel I move much faster compared to Modern Warfare.

In most of the Maps that I have played in so far, I think the sound is great due to extra sound layers. I really enjoy the extra added sound that helps you hear the enemy footsteps and gunfire. The map Cartel, is probably my favorite place to play so far, because of the jungle feel and reminds me of the map Jungle from Black ops 4.  I have talked a bit about the regular game-play of Black ops Cold War, but I love the new zombies mode. The new zombie’s mode is a continuation from Black Ops 4, but is set in the early 1980’s and there are new and much different content in this new zombie’s map.

This exciting and incredible zombies story is very mysterious and has unexpected twists and turns around every corner of the map. What I really like about this new Black Ops zombies, is the ability to be able to play as Operators from Multiplayer.  You can add attachments and equip them before heading into each zombies round. When gaming in zombies I found out that the rarer the weapon the more lethal and damage it will inflict upon zombies. I am really enjoying everything about Black Ops Cold War so far, from multiplayer to zombies, this Call of Duty game is for anyone who loves the Call of Duty franchise like I do and plus zombies, then I would totally recommend purchasing this game today.

Marvel’s “The Avengers” Lets You Save the World

There are many games that have taken the path of action footsteps, like Call of Duty Modern Warfare, but there are few that have the universal excitement like Marvel’s Avengers. The game starts right off into the campaign where you have to reassemble all of the other hero’s and make it almost to the end of the campaign to unlock all six of the current characters you can play with. The current heroes are Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Ant Man, Abomination, Black Panther, Hawkeye, MODOK, Ms. Marvel, Kate Bishop, Spiderman, Iron Man and Taskmaster. In the Single player campaign, you usually play as a specific character, but you will be able to choose which character to play as. I love how you get to take on waves of robots and smash your way through with heavy attacks as the Hulk or lead your way through as Captain America with a mix of light attacks and maneuverable dodges. One of my favorite Marvel Characters in the game is Thor and I like one of Thor’s signature moves like throwing his Hammer and being able to call upon the Bifrost, which is totally awesome. 

Marvel’s Avengers is an exciting action-packed game that brings the characters to life in a third-person view. The game takes you on the cinematic story line from singe player and co-operative gameplay with up to 4 players.  What I really enjoy about this game is that it can be played either offline or online option, but you will need internet to update the game itself. If you love action role-playing brawler games, then this game is for you. The character’s powers and abilities are just insanely awesome and once mastered they will be a blast of excitement and fun. I love how you can play as each Marvel hero, but being able to customize each character’s abilities and costumes are just downright astounding.

Many of the Character upgrades and costumes can be upgraded using the skills section or you can just simply buy the DLC pack upgrades.  In the multiplayer gameplay, you will be able to explore and be in different types of combat arenas.  Each player will be able to equip themselves with different load-outs and go off to explore for loot for their specific character.  For the players who like to play together with your friends or with other players, then you can dive right into Warzone missions and I found out while playing you can easily just be accepted from a thing called the War table and you can also choose a certain level you feel comfortable proceeding with. Before playing specific missions, you can adjust how difficult each mission is and keep up with the mission’s chains.

 “While the repetitive loot system can be annoyingly repetitive at times, everyone who loves playing as a third-person super hero with loads of excitement, combat will enjoy Marvel’s Avengers.” I love everything about this game, from being able to play as Marvel’s Avenger’s hero’s, customization of characters, loads of action and adrenaline rush excitement. Overall, I think Marvel’s Avengers is an insanely amazing game and honestly, I cannot wait to see what Crystal Dynamics has in store in the near future of this game.

Candidate Profile: Jack Martin for Sheriff

Jack Martin, current Sheriff of Morris County and now running for re-election as sheriff for the fifth time. Jack became the first black Morris County Sheriff, in the county’s history.  Martin began his career with the Sheriff’s Department in 1984, only two short years after graduating from Paul H. Pewitt High School, and has worked for Morris County ever since.

Jack Martin decided to run for election in 2003 when the current Sheriff Shane Blackburn decided to resign and take over the Narcotics Task Force.  Blackburn encouraged Jack, who was chief deputy at the time, to run for Sheriff. In 2004 Jack ran for Sheriff, won the election on July 1, 2004, and he was appointed inward Sheriff.

 As Sheriff, Martin generally has town meetings at the court house two or three times a month.  These meetings keep the public informed about their community, and help maintain a positive relationship between the citizens and their sheriff. Jack has not been able to establish town meetings for this year’s election due to the Covid-19 Pandemic currently going through the Morris County area. 

Covid-19 may have put a damper on Sheriff Martin’s town meetings, but certainly not on his genuine relationship with every community in Morris County. Not one single area of Jack Martin’s jurisdiction has had any issues with the Black Lives Matter movement. According to Jack, there are no such upheavals because the people of Morris County are small town folks. They are all like family, where everybody knows one another and they all share a common bond.

Martin’s guiding principles as a civil servant are honesty, fairness, and dependability.  Jack thrives to protect our schools, churches, and community’s. Jack executes fairness by being professional, respecting the rights and dignity of all persons. While striving to achieve a balance between enforcement and community needs which reflects both the spirit and the letter of the law. Martin uses dependability by recognizing the changing and diverse needs of the community and responding to meet those needs. Jack implements honesty by living with honor and doing what is noble, virtuous, and let no favor or prejudice bias influence yourself to take a dishonorable action.  He constantly establishes good communication with the local fire departments, EMS and fellow officers.

The early voting will start October 13 – October 30 at the Morris County Clerk’s office at 500 Broad max in Dangerfield Texas. The General election would begin on November 3, 2020, from 7am to 7pm.
