Black Ops (faction)


 * For the latest installment of the Call of Duty series, see Call of Duty: Black Ops.

The "Black Ops" is a multiplayer faction featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops. They are elite operatives of the Central Intelligence Agency's Special Activities Division.

Overview
The Black Ops are a paramilitary faction and part of the CIA. They were instrumental in sabotaging the Soviet Union's Space Program during Operation Flashpoint and later tracking down and interrogating Dr. Daniel Clarke, using the intel gained from him to launch a 4-man assault on Mt. Yamantau. They were the primary assault force on Rebirth Island and the Rusalka, receiving support from the USMC. They appear to typically operated in squads of 4 with the notable exception of the assault on Rebirth Island. It is also likely they are somehow connected with Op 40, the most likely connection is the members of Op 40 were agents of the Black Ops coupled with Cuban exiles to conduct one operation during the Bay of Pigs Invasion (when the level Operation 40 took place).
