Dr Popodopolus Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) Its not worth it IMO.. At 1st everything is great. But you soon get bored of it. Plus unless your have 10mb plus broadband, it lags like hell all too often. BO weapons killstreaks and perks are more balanced than MW2's. but its just missing something that i cant put my finger on. I dont know whats missing but it just doesnt have for want of a better word, the X factor. And MW2 did. I have to say I kind of agree with you. It was the same when I had MW2 for the first week or 2. That "OMG This game is amazing" reaction you say because it's got all these new features and you just expect it to be awesome because it's call of duty. Sadly, I feel Call of Duty as a franchise is getting a bit stale. I also agree about the x factor that MW2 had. We can all complain about the glitches, mods, commando, OMA, tactical knife, etc etc but there was something about it that kept bringing me back, I eventually made it to 9th Prestige Lvl 70 before Black Ops. Black Ops has the Balance and there aren't loads and loads of things I can complain about off the top of my head, but, I am starting to feel like it's not really all that fun and am getting a tad bored, sure I'll keep playing it but it just feels like I've done it all before. Perhaps raining doom in objective modes with the stackable Harrier, Pavelow and AC-130 were actually what made MW2 fun, maybe running around with a riot shield or overpowered akimbo weapons, crazy shotguns and faster sniping (sniping that wasn't a chore) actually helped in making it a fun game to play. I'm just not entirely sure about Black Ops any more. It's got a great campaign, zombies maps are average at best, granted, the multiplayer is full of customization and fixes from previous CoD games and my favourite new feature is definitely the emblem creator, that is awesome! But overall I'm not sure whether I'd pay full price for this if I had the choice. Edited November 29, 2010 by Dr Popodopolus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipingheadshot Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Most people just whine that because they can't get ACR kills with the weapons on BO that BO sucks and MW2 is better. No. You're wrong, it isn't. You just need skill to play Black Ops. So if you have any of that, you'll welcome Black Ops with open arms It's just the ones that miss their overpowered weapons that say this game sucks. I say this game sucks and I don't suck or use overpowered weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZingZitang Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) In a Word: YES. Black Ops > modern warfare 2 times 100. Better Sound Quality Not some Hollywood Drama Storyline in the Campaign, its actually believable. Weapons and Killstreaks are Very Balanced Weapons Actually Have Recoil No One man Army No Ridiculous Killstreaks No Ridiculous weapons The Maps Actually take thought and strategy You can't run around like a headless chicken, hipfiring with any given weapon and win a game Zombies Dead Ops Did I mention that Weapons have Recoil? Black Ops is just Better, Hands Down. Oh and for the record, I play on a Long Range Wireless Connection thats less than 1mb, and I Rarely Lag, Just as I rarely Lagged in World at War.

Yann Le Pentrec Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 BO shits all over MW2. It has a coherent, engaging storyline. Zombies/Dead Ops/ork are all way better than the shitty Spec Ops and multiplayer is better. I'll toss the salad of anyone who disagrees. Wait, it means what?

jules the great Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 i say get it. Single player was awesome, deep story and really engaging. Veteran sucks tho with come places having infinite respawning enemies, made me quit and just continue beating the game on Hardened. MP im really starting to enjoy tho. I like the fact that if a few buddies just wanna go at it, we can do it in MP combat training instead of playing with idiots. And then we can go full blown into team deathmatches when we DO wanna play with others. Also this game in MP is 100% more enjoyable when you have your own friends in party who can only hear and talk to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamburgerous Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I was making a valid point. Theres no need to act like an immature little child. I agree it's valid. The Lag isn't related to bandwidth, it'll be related to something to do with their matchmaking and online code. As long as you have sufficient bandwidth (and it's a surprisingly small number) then any increase yields no added benefit. I don't know exactly what causes the lag, we'll call it "Luck" for now. I agree with the WoW factor thing too. I just feel like there is something missing that would make it brilliant rather than just really good. Maybe that is to be found in Wager match (I've played a few but never invested the time) but I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackerMan Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Yeah it is worth it but the campaign was okay. Modern Warfare campaign was the best. the multiplayer in black ops are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly Moves Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) BO IMO is a good game, but it has its problems. Like every game does. IMO BO is missing somthing special that MW2 has. When i got MW2 i wanted to play it all the time. Even through the terrible glitches that were eventually patched. But i dont get that feeling with BO. In fact its starting to bore me a little. Im not saying its a bad game or anything. Its actually quite good and seems like the most balanced CoD game since CoD4. But its missing the "WOW factor", the "x factor" a certain "je na se qua" Edited November 29, 2010 by Deadly Moves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juzt Skillz Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Depends entirely on how much time you want to invest into the game. Since everything revolves around CoD Points you will be constantly spending and earning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis x360a Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I think its well worth it. Imo its the best COD since Cod4. I have only 2 complaints about the game and thats the RC-XD and the knife lunge other than that i think its a very good game and very well balanced.

snipingheadshot Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Better Sound Quality Maybe, it doesn't matter to me as long as it doesn't suck. Not some Hollywood Drama Storyline in the Campaign, its actually believable. Doesn't matter to me, I only play for achievements. Weapons and Killstreaks are Very Balanced That may be true, but balanced doesn't mean fun. Weapons Actually Have Recoil Good. No One man Army Awesome. No Ridiculous Killstreaks Cool. No Ridiculous weapons Good. The Maps Actually take thought and strategy Better. You can't run around like a headless chicken, hipfiring with any given weapon and win a game. AK-74u with steady aim. I see a lot of that. Zombies Love it. Dead Ops Don't care. Did I mention that Weapons have Recoil? Good. Just my opinion on that, not flaming. Although, I do have a list that is just as long as to why MW2 is better than Black Ops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFreakinCabbag3 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Better Sound Quality. You can't hear any gameplay sounds clearly just gun fire. Not some Hollywood Drama Storyline in the Campaign, its actually believable. I played the campaign twice and I still don't get it. Weapons and Killstreaks are Very Balanced. G11? RC? Weapons Actually Have Recoil. Commando? No Ridiculous Killstreaks. RC? No Ridiculous weapons G11? The Maps Actually take thought and strategy. If you say so. You can't run around like a headless chicken, hipfiring with any given weapon and win a game. Hipfire is more accurate then ADS for the most part at med-close range. Zombies Dead Ops. Really...you are grasping at straws. Did I mention that Weapons have Recoil? Did I mention the commando? MW2 is more fun, Hands Down. Edited with my views.

Deadly Moves Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Better Sound Quality No chance. The sounds got patched the other day and its still broken. Footsteps are way too loud Not some Hollywood Drama Storyline in the Campaign, its actually believable. It doesnt even make sence. And has too many set pieces and overly long cutscenes Weapons and Killstreaks are Very Balanced On the whole there pretty balanced. Weapons Actually Have Recoil M16, Commando, G11 dont No One man Army And...? No Ridiculous Killstreaks RC, Blackbird and Gunship No Ridiculous weapons True The Maps Actually take thought and strategy LOLZ You can't run around like a headless chicken, hipfiring with any given weapon and win a game. Yes you can. Ive had some of my best games while working towards Steady Aim Pro Zombies They broke it by making it harder Dead Ops Nothing special Did I mention that Weapons have Recoil? Not all of em On the whole, MW is a better game and more fun to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you should finish the campaign before saying to makes no since, it makes complete since. Zombies being broke because its harder that's a joke.

Like when people say MW2 was broken and only a legit player would agree with them? I can't even be bothered with that line any more. Just wait till the next CoD is released and remember when you're saying "Black Ops was just broken, new CoD is much better" that you sound like an idiot to anyone who cares to remember.
