Story done. Obvious twist is obvious.
Call of Duty: Black Ops
- Thread starter RichieM
- Start date
Thought I’d post back with a further update, after I joined a mate tonight and played MP and Zombies:
Well, what can I say – this game honestly isn’t more than a 4/10 in my own opinion
Again, I can’t put a finger on what is wrong, guess it’s my own preference or something, but the MP just wasn’t at all enjoyable – even though I had a fair few decent rounds (in the top 4 most times), it just didn’t grab me like MW2 did, or even it’s predecessor….. I guess I’m just tired of CoD or something?
Zombies….. erm, again, not enjoyment at all. Enough said about that I think.
So sadly after falling for the hype, I’m left with fodder to trade in when the new Assassins Creed is out later this month, I honestly cannot see me even finishing the campaign either, it just hasn’t grabbed me enough to want to go back to it. Guess I will though, just to play that spy plane mission…
So, in closing, I personally feel (from my collection) that BC2 > MOH > MW2 > MW1 > BOPS
Oh, and don’t get me started on how **** it was trying to even pair up with a mate and play (PS3), due to the amount of disconnections or failed connections! It’s a shoddy bit of work, rushed out in a hype train to generate money off the back of the popularity of MW2’s MP imo.

MoH? Crikey. That was a turd and yet you rate it highly. 
I think BOps is an awesome game. Great multiplayer.
I think BOps is an awesome game. Great multiplayer.I guess, one COD just rolls into another each year that's bound to happen. The SP games are nigh on the same. If a Forza was released every year it would be just as boring for some. COD 4 was better because there was nearly 2 years I think inbetween games.
It would be better if one developer did a game every 2 years or so.

Cant cope with the ps3 version, just ordered the game for 360 and 2100ms points offer from Tescos.
Need to be playing the best version and seeing as this game was obviously designed on the 360, then the 360 version it is then.
PC version would run best gfx wise i guess but how many aimbots would i run into on the pc servers?
Will keep my ps3 copy for a bit and see what happens with patches and what not but i cant see anything being done about the framerate.
Not really a patchable part of the game im afraid.
Try telling that to the people on cod forums tho

I do rate it highly, the SP of MOH feels more realistic than the tripe I've experienced in BOPS, not that either are trying to be simulations, but MOH just punched above its weight, whereas BOPS feels like it would have trouble punching through a wet paper bag.
MP-wise, I like the speed that CoD has always played at, it’s like the Unreal Tournament or Quake of consoles to me, it’s very much a case that success is based on your reaction speed over skill.
With the MP on MOH, it’s like BC2’s – slower paced, maybe even clumsier, but that level of clumsiness allows the game to be played with a bit more thought and tactics, dare I say, skill.
But hey, these are just my thoughts on the latest and greatest game to hit our beloved consoles, some people will agree with me, some wont – it wont hurt the game that I’m going to be trading my copy in; they’ll still be hundreds of thousands of people just lining up to rack up their stats…
+1 to that, its really making me rage, im not sure if its hit detection or that specific player lag, if its player lag thats ridiculous as they are almost untouchable head one.
Had one where two of us were shooting a guy right in front of us, yet when we saw his hitcam he killed us both before we even shot him
Lots of problems and annoyances but yet its strangely addictive!
Just finished a game of Der Rise on blackops and am ranked 455 with 900 kills exactly. I find it odd however that the person who is the top of the leader board has 1337 kills whereas the person who is second has 2208 then again i guess it all came down to shot placement.
If you change the controls layout to Digital it gives you a button for slow-mo.
edit: This is ****ing BS, they just have constant air support up and the second I manage to get an RC-XD it blows up as soon as I get it out
. Also, why do people insist on playing the same map OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

Whenever i'm host everybody seems to have an advantage over me!
I had the same problem with MW2. I'd be playing and go into silly negative so quit and it'd start selecting a new host. How the hell people get a better connection than me when I'm host I don't knowI played a game last night and watched a killcam and the person that killed me had his sight aimed at the right of my head. The sight didn't actually point on my body at all but he still killed me.

This is exactly the experience I get,
I know that I can aim shoot and kill, but in this I get serious lag on most games, I want to like it but right now I hate the thing, I went back to MW2 again and found it a joy to play even on my own.

Why do people still take the kill cam seriously?
They should just remove the killcams to stop people complaining about an inaccurate clip anyway.
The killcam is not a good indication of whether the game has good hit detection or not.
There's nothing wrong with the hit detection in the game, it's just the lag that they have all suffered from and then people quote the killcams like gospel.
People have started to get the spawn camping down to a fine art now though on demolition, we got absolutely bummed by spawn campers last night but still won all but one game because the teams just wated to lock us in and kill us 1 second after we spawned.
getting ignored
I was on for about 2 hours last night and not even the sniff of an invite from anybody

I thought MOH tried to be a little of MW2 and a little BF2 and failed miserably by ending up being better than neither.
I also play on the PS3 and although the first few days were a nightmare for playing with friends, last night we didnt have much issues. A few drop outs but we were able to get straight back in. Huge improvement.
Also loving the fact that killstreaks don't come into the game as much. Although I do enjoy BFBC2 I love the banter on BOPS and am enjoying it more than I did MW2 with all the witch classes, noob tubes and QS whores.
It's not perfect but for the type of game it is, it is fun. And having Zombie mode adds a little bit of fun to the game expecially when playing with friends.
Howevere if I didnt play this with a group of friends I probably wouldnt play it for long. Must be played with a good group of friends and a huge sense of humour.

How do you take videos with the game?
