Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's campaign is for the most part a refreshingly back-to-basics affair which trains its focus on smaller squad-based engagements far away from the series' increasingly bombastic, Michael Bay-aping shenanigans.

The game's third mission, "Fracture Jaw," is a flashback to the Vietnam War, resulting in by far the most formulaic gameplay in the entire game.

Here you'll wipe out enemies from above in a chopper, wipe out enemies on foot, get back in the chopper to blow more stuff up, and then get back on foot to survive waves of the enemy until the game deems the level over.

It's about as lazy and thoughtless as Call of Duty levels get, leaning back on old run 'n' gun cliches while also being rife with potentially game-breaking bugs which prevent progress.
