Call of Duty: Black Ops

[Superscooter143]

This game is bad and you should feel bad.

I'm sticking with Modern Warfare 2.

>Black Ops bad

>prefers instead an incredibly shitty game



Your logic confuses me.

It was dissapointing to find that there are even more campers than MW2. Other than that though, its pretty balanced.

In regards to campers...I always feel that you can't blame the game for what the players are choosing to do. You can't program a player...only a game.

True, but it's a matter of how much the game will allow players to camp. MW2's weapon balance and map design encouraged it, to the point of giving players who wanted a more traditional run and gun experience a disadvantage. Thermal scope, heartbeat sensor, one man army? Combine camp-encouraging items with map design that routinely has perfect little dead ends that are easily defendable, and you have a game that wants camping to be the primary way of playing.

There was ever barely a bit of weapon balance and map design in that game.

I have been playing black ops and I must say I very much prefer it to MW2. Running and gunning is now much more possible than in MW2 but they have not crippled a players ability to camp and set up a defensive perimeter. I really find it hard to explain how but it just simply is a lot more enjoyable to me. To be fair however the sniper rifles are too weak and this is coming from someone who HATES sniping. However as a fair warning I figured I should put that out there.

That's... probably because you hate them.

 

[Ojikori]

I meant as in I hate being sniped.

 

[Wilson Gray]

I think, with me playing a decent amount of MW2, I've developed a horrid anger issue with any war game.
It's got the same moments, though. Prone can get a little too low for my tastes, shotguns are, thank goodness, primary again.
Sniping was sent back to complicated without practice, but I've already enjoyed a quick scope player.
Might just be me, but I think it'll head a similar path. Good for a while, but slowly, people are likely to find any flaw, and ride it like an angry bull to the china shop, then back to the bar to find a random stranger, take them home, have sex of course, then not call back.
I hope not, though. Not to mention, knife is slightly lengthy at times. I can say it's a pleasure firing three bullets and having a knife lay me down first.
But hell, it's new, I'm bored.

 

[Daisy La Liebre]

I like it, but why do people vote Nuketown over and over and over again? It's a shit map.

 

[Willow]

The most plotless game I've ever witnessed played and not even worth my money.

I put this in the PC v. Console thread, but I figure it deserves to go in here as well..

Call of Duty Black Ops is nothing more than a series of scripted events and cutscenes. Its multiplayer is absolutely nothing special. Stop giving these people money.

 

[Saxton Hale]

Not impressed at all with it.

 

[Random_Observer]

It's still running on the CoD 4 engine for 2006, and Treyarch made CoD 5 worse looking than 4. I'm not surprised they still haven't grasped decent art direction.

I knew I was never going to be impressed with Treyarch when I played Big Red One

 

[Dalek_Duck]

I am on and play...beat the game which seemed easier and shorter than MW2

As far as camping...it never bugged me that much...I have resorted to it a few times but I found alot of ways that makes it easy to take a camper out if you approach properly

I've always wondered and I mean this not to troll but seriously...why do folks hate them so much? Admittedly I am not a camper but I am not a run 'n gunner either...more balanced

So I am curious why people hate it?

 

[Adrianfolf]

Ugh, idiots took over that series. Now it's just about the multiplayer. Most of my friends haven't started the campaign yet, even!

Who here has played the original games (before Modern Warfare)? Those were the greatest for their time. The Point-du-Hoc mission felt like I was playing the opening scene to Saving Private Ryan.

I still own Call of Duty and Call of Duty 2 on my PC and I love those games better than any of new ones

COD 1 was by far the best. I actually did enjoy COD 2 and 3, but after 4... Naahhhh.

I remember when I was playing COD and I had like no health and I was trying to escape the dam. Man that was a bitch but boy did I have a nice sense of accomplishment when I did it

That kind of moment was great in the old COD, especially the dam mission. It annoys me now, that in the COD series, your health regenerates. There's no more panic or tension or desperation in the game at all anymore. :c

Yeah I'm not to big of a fan for regen health but meh there isn't much we can do about it.

 

[lilEmber]

I really liked Big Red One and how the characters aged as the battles went on. Too bad most of them died. :c

This and COD: UO are the two best COD games, however that being said they are outdated and black ops is actually really fun. I have it on steam if anybody wants to play. :3

 

[Ragnock]

Oh man.. I'm addicted to Black Ops now, just like I was addicted to MW2. The story makes you replay it, just so it can fuck with your head

The multiplayer is stupidly great fun... Unlike halo, where it takes two and a half clips to kill one guy T.T.. The killstreaks are awesome, especially the RC C4-car

Dunno why some of you say it sucks, it's one of the best games I ever played ^_^

Then you've obviously never played Bioshock.

I watched my cousin play Black Ops and about 5 minutes into watching it, I was lost completely.

You're doing it wrong.

 

[Ragnock]

You're doing it wrong.

It was exaggeration.

 

[Willow]

It was exaggeration.

Aren't exaggerations usually based off of something that's really fact though? Rhetorical question.
