But moments of strangeness, even a few memorable or inspired ones, can’t hide the fact that this latest installment is the digital equivalent of throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks.  Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s co-op campaign is a direct sequel to Black Ops 2, featuring many characters from and references to this fan-favorite entry.
