Black Ice - Spec Ops Mission

“Shred ice from aboard your snowmobile as you infiltrate a diamond mine in the Special Ops mission, "Black Ice." Melt more than snow when you plant high-grade explosives to shut the mine down forever. This marks the first time Special Ops has been made downloadable online in franchise history.” - Activision

Black Ice is a mission where you’re racing against time on a snow mobile. The mission is not particularly difficult unless you are trying to get 3 stars. Like any Spec Ops mission, having a partner helping you through the stage is recommended.  On your way down through the level, you will have to take some guys out with a machine pistol. Make sure you try and get everyone you can because they will slow you down and may even kill you. Once you finally make it to the end, you will have to start moving through a mine on foot. Try and watch out for enemies hiding behind obscure locations and be ready to shoot at all times. There are different areas that will come up that require you to breach rooms and kill enemies in a slow motion animation. Once these areas are cleared, you must set a bomb and blow up the mine. You will have 1: 15 seconds to escape, so you must move quickly. Once you escape the mine, the mission will be cleared.

It’s a fun, but short mission that doesn’t really offering anything different than what’s been seen before. Regardless, it’s still always great to have new content to play.
