if this game was made by infinity ward, it would have been 10x better, kinda disappointing... and the lag is pretty unbearable atm, which is why I am staying away from it for a while... (on ps3 btw)

Infinity Ward does not know how to balance a game. They also don't know how to patch a game. If Black Ops was made by IW, we would have people camping in obscure locations, with infinite insanelypowerful grenade launchers, infinite claymores, and getting easy killstreaks that get them another 10-15 kills. I don't think I'll ever buy an IW game again.

How come I don't see any of that in MW2? From what I've heard so far, camping is much easier in Black Ops.

atleast iw would make the game playable. i will gladly take campers over 17fps at the most basic settings

I don't believe that you don't see this. Camping isn't my concern, balance is. IW made assault rifles far too powerful, completely imbalanced killstreaks (9killstreak pavelow gets average of 5-10 kills, 9killstreak stealth bomber gets maybe 2?), insanely overpowered grenade launchers (that can be replenished at any time using onemanarmy), death streaks that reward players for playing poorly, etc etc etc.

Same. My PS3 lags so bad on this game.
And also, I noticed, on Free-For-All, you spawn so close to the enemies, they can see you. I REALLY hate this. I die almost instantly.

And grenade lawnchairs and back? :/ I hated those so much in all of the other CODs, and they bring them back? WHY???

i got my money back luckily although im wondering if ill loose the right to play the pc version or will i still get to play it still. either think illl wait till a used copy of the wii version shows up for like 29 dollars and get it or something or play some free mmofps.

I believe everything you said, I just don't think it ruins the game. I don't play cheaply (apart from the fact that I use an assault rifle with stopping power), and I generally kick major amounts of butt, so all the little stupid things everyone else does, doesn't really matter. The only thing that really gets to me once in a while is the n00b tubes, but that's really not that big of an issue. I also think death streaks are a good idea.

No matter what Infinity Ward does, people are going to complain about it. If they make the assault rifles weaker, people will say they're gimped. If they get rid of death streaks, people would freak out. I guess I just accept the fact that a game isn't going to be tuned exactly how I want it, and try to enjoy it anyway.

Personally, the Call of Duty series isn't as great as many make it out to be. Amazing graphics, especially in Modern Warfare 2, but it does not make up for the lack of fun in the multiplayer modes due to camping and everything else. A good FPS game would be Battlefield: Bad Company 2, due to it's destructable torrain, ability to drive and fly various vehicles and aircrafts, the maps are way larger which makes it seem far more realistic, and the players actually behave and are not total "noobs".

Black Ops looks decent, but I hear it's lag and downgrade of graphics have gotten people upset. Though, I couldn't careless if the graphics are not as good as before, mainly because it's much better then last gens, as long as the gameplay is good. I'm looking most forward to the multiplayer split-screen mode, since I have friends who would love to come over and just chill and kill some dudes online alongside me. I really wish more games would consist of it - Halo was always great fun online. Definitely will buy it, but I don't think it can compare to my Bad Company 2.

I have a friend who has it on the PC. He said he like it and it runs just fine. I also know pure pwange has it on his pc and seems to play it a lot. I'm probably going to be playing it on the xbox soon to see how it is.

[venuse]

frankly i think ill try the freeware game alliance of the valiant arms, once i get it downloaded. looks like modern warefare from the vids ive seen.

To anyone complaining about how Trey made a bad CoD game, let me just remind you about MW2 developed by Infinity Ward who milked the game to oblivion, put map packs up for 15 bucks when they should have been 5 AT MOST, in-put absolutely retarded killstreaks and how they work (insta-win game nukes that can be got by camping, then getting a 11 kill streak to get a AC-130 and rack up the rest of the kills with ease and call in a nuke), completely ignored calls for dedicated servers, screwed mod support, and refused to add the fan favorite zombie mode.


You people need to be more appreciative of how Treyarch works. They may not have the expertize of Infinity Ward, but god dammit they sure are better at pleasing the fans. Black Ops has dedicated servers, return of zombie mode (with the humorous weapons and easter eggs still in touch), DLC such as maps are being said to be provided free of charge, a better perk/killstreak system with a maximum killstreak reward of 11 kills and no instant-gameover nuke, and MOD SUPPORT, THANK GOD! Now the game will have a better lifespan..On the PC atleast, sorry consolers.

And for anyone complaining about the hardware bugs, all I gotta say is be freakin' patient. Every game EEVVERRRYY game that gets released now-a-days is bound to have a serious faulty, or game breaking bug. Treyarch can't help it, and they're trying their best to get everything running smoothly, but this shit doesn't happen over night, or even over weeks. As I said before they don't have the expertise that IW has, but they make up for that by listening to fans and not giving into greed. I'm not saying that they are doing this all in their heart- I mean hell every company is after money first and foremost. But all these additions make up for the problems. IW was alright back in CoD4, but now they are just greedy !@#$s.

I'm not a huge hardcore fan of the CoD games, but I like to enjoy them, so I personally couldn't care who develops the games, but I will say this. I would sooner have Treyarch working on the CoD games than IW anyday.

And with all that said, Ima go finish up single-player now.
