COD Black Ops.....Whats the Verdict People?


Hotsauce

Recommended Posts

I am a big fan of the COD series. Still to this day, I only play MW2 hours at a time. I first started playing COD when W@W came out on Xbox a couple years ago. (so I was introduced to COD through Trey_?_). I only play the story line once, but mainly focus on the multiplayer. I had a real addiction to the Nazi Zombies on W@W... To this date, I have not played BO yet...

My question is simple people....Is this game worth the $60 now, or should I wait a while and pick it up when it is cheaper?

Thanks

If you are a heavy CoD fan then it's a must have. I'm a pretty lukewarm CoD fan, so I'm a little less than happy with it.

No more killstreaks adding to killstreaks on this one. So a predator missile doesn't automatically get you an AC-130. So, that's good.

Maps are a haven for campers. Sniping is essentially non-existent. Matchmaking is terrible right now. Gun damage still seems inconsistent for me.

New Zombie mode is pretty fun. It's more difficult than previous Zombie modes. No more camping catwalks like in Der Riese. You pretty much have to be consistently running.

If you're a huge CoD fan, I'd get it.

If you like COD get it, unless you like to snipe, then you might hate it.

Honestly the COD series peaked 4 games ago and all the recent ones have just tried to cram more into it while neglecting the core gameplay and matchmaking. It's fun at times, irritating at others. You will probably get your money out of it which is a lot more than you can say with other games.

Modern Warfare 2 is funner even with all the problems. I don't like the guns in Black Ops, especially the starter guns and it takes longer to rank up in BO so it makes it impossible to get into for me.

They should just leave all guns unlocked from the get go or bring back the UMP45 and shotgun secondaries.

It was worth buying if you ask me, definitely if you play multiplayer on it for a month or so. My favorite so far is still MW 1 though, played the heck out of that game online for almost 8-9 months..didn't even play 2 but maybe 1 - 1 1/2 months...WAW was ok, zombie mode is a blast though...

Same thing on BO, zombie mode is a blast and the online would be fantastic if they can add a few good maps and fix some of the matchmaking and gun issues.

I'm a casual gamer in terms of time I guess although these last few days during break and with the flu I've played about 4-5 hours a day. I do like video games a lot though as a media category but I don't buy many or play them for super duper long stretches. Actually I played Halo: Reach a lot because Halo was the 1st video game I ever played. It was pretty enjoyable.

I have no idea how people "prestige" in this game I think I've played well over 15 hours total and I'm level 30 something.

COD 1 was great because you didn't feel like a super soldier fighting all alone. The missions weren't ridiculous james bond type crap. It felt real like a living hell but also was very romantic like The Longest Day. Good style of game. The aiming down the sights thing I hadn't seen before.

COD 2 was more of the same just better.

COD 3 was poo. I barely touched it but one day my brother rented it and I dabbled with it. It sucked.

COD 4 was more of the same just better with quality online play.

World at War was like COD 3 but just better done that time. They used the COD 4 engine one of my roomates told me. I played it almost all the way through one week.

MW2 was COD 4 but they started pushing the formula too hard. The violence felt perverted. Insane singler player with rediculous amounts of retarded enemies.

Online play would become ruined at times for various reasons to the point that I didn't play it for long stretches. I didn't even get xbox live until that game and I didn't buy MW2 until months after it came out during christmas break.

Overall though I think it was a good game it just had flaws.

Black ops I think is a better made and produced game than MW2.

But it's not the same especially in campaign. The campaign is horrible honestly. The AI is retarded it's basically zombies with guns. The story is hard to follow I didn't play it for a stretch and I had to replay the missions just to remember what was going on.

Online play is well put together but overall I feel like I'm just playing it because it's the hot item. I've gotten ok at it I played it today and I got some killstreaks around 5 or 6.

I don't think it's worth 60 dollars at all, I payed 40 for it 2nd hand because it seemed like everybody played it and it was the only way to kill time. Pretty much every male human being at school was playing it so the online play was fun.

For a time killer, basic video game needs it's worth it and you will use it. I have used it. But compared to other games in the series it's not very good. Compared to a really great game like half life 2 it's poo.

It's OK. I think it's better than MW2 even though MW2 had better graphics and maps. Some of the things in MW2 were game breaking for me.

I think the issue is, we're all just tired of CoD. Four years of almost the same games (4, WaW, MW2, BO) is growing on us. It's time for something different. I'm hoping some tactical shooters come back, Ghost Recon/Rainbow Six. Also, that XBLA game Breach looks to be fresh.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
