Does anyone really need more advertisements for Call of Duty: Black Ops at this point? If you are a fan of the game, odds are you are already planning to hit your local store at midnight or shortly thereafter. But Activision does not just want a big release, it wants the biggest release of the year. So enter the newest commercial for Black Ops, which features a few familiar faces.

Possibly in an attempt to get more fans in the Boston area to purchase the title, Kobe Bryant is featured playing the game, as is Jimmy Kimmel. As are several little girls carrying shotguns, which is probably not the best timing, what with the case against violent videos games affecting youths being in the Supreme Court right now and all.

But head on out and grab your copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops tonight at midnight for your chance to shoot a digital Kobe!

The latest weapon added to Call of Duty: Warzone is the LAPA, an SMG that was initially included as part of the game's Halloween 2021 event.

Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War AMP63 pistol: How to unlock it

Call of Duty Warzone Black Ops Cold War AMP 63

Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players can now equip themselves with the AMP63 pistol. The weapon was previously leaked thanks to a glitch that made it appear in both games. However, starting today players can officially unlock and keep the new sidearm.

The AMP63 may soon become essential in everyone's loadouts thanks to its stats. What it lacks in firepower, the AMP63 makes up for in an extremely high fire rate. Player speed with the machine pistol is also increased, making it a fantastic close-quarters, shoot-from-the-hip style weapon.
