* ObviousBeta: The game has been criticized for its large amounts of glitches and frequent crashes, especially for a shooter game. This is especially apparent in multiplayer in cases of bad connections, which can lead to floating corpses, aiming difficulties, and bugged weapons and items.

* ArtificialStupidity: A common criticism of this game amongst many is its poor AI. Enemies will very often spot you and hesitate to shoot, allowing you free kills. Other times they will shoot at you when there's an obstacle between and them-even if said obstacle is explosive.

''Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified'' is an {{interquel}} serving as a prelude companion game to ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsII'', bridging the gap between it and the original ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps''. It was developed by nStigate Games, published by Creator/{{Activision}}, and released on the UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita in 2012, alongside ''Black Ops II''. To summarize the game, it's basically a mobile port of ''Black Ops''. Despite the premise, the game sold horribly, and the few that did buy it found it to be average at the very best, and dreadful at worst. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Oh, and it had no]] [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyZombies Zombies]]. Years later, another interquel, ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsColdWar'' basically does what this game tried to do, but far better.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Downplayed. It's more or less gotten this treatment from the very start. ''Black Ops II'' doesn't acknowledge it at all despite being designed to fill in the gaps between it and the original game, and ''Black Ops Cold War'' basically rewrites Jose Luiz Menendez's assassination, contradicting how it plays out here. ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsIII Black Ops III]]'' however does drop a FreezeFrameBonus cameo containing Ryan Jackson's documents.
