cod4 was an fantastic game so when mwf2 was released i bought it and although i enjoyed it i still had a slightly bitter taste in my mouth as it was just as visually polished up cod4 which was starting to go more console like with the removal of the dedicated servers(why?)
with the release of the latest black ops! i told myself NO!!! dont bother getting it ! its just the same game with a few added sparkly bits!
Then today for some strange reason i came home from work and paid £40 for it and waited for the download to finish.
I can honestly say that i have just finished playing it for a couple of hours ....
And boy was i wrong about my doubts of what this game would be like!!!
Its !!!! wait for it ......Ten times worse than mwf2!!!!

What the hell have they done to it?
It was like i'd gone back in time and was playing cod1 on a playstation 1 or something ! well thats only a little over exaggeration but come on!
it looks crap... I thought graphics were supposed to improve as time goes on but that is a disgrace and I am very p****d off with myself for buying such a cheap ass cobbled together load of ****.
im sure this crap wouldnt of made my old dell break a sweat it looks so bad!
does anyone else agree and feel totally ripped off by black ops?
 
What, I had MW2 for 5 months and hated it, Black Ops is a breath of fresh air to the series. You paid £40 ouch, I got it for £42 with 2100 Ms points which is worth £17 so in theory paid £25 for it.

You need a Waaaamublance

I would disagree with you, all this game does is fix some of the problems from MW2, and while this is a good thing, this game is basically what MW2 should have been, it doesn't add anything new or exciting, hardly fresh air.

I do like this game, but it is hardly cutting edge.
 
I'd rather play the original Call of Duty than Modern Warfare 2, or Black Ops any day of the week.

A million times this.

If I could get it working reliably at 1920x1200 I'd be playing it right now.

Have given up on the CoD "series" post CoD2, I made the mistake of buying MW1 and won't be repeating it.

either you need glasses or you,re a console gamer because visually the image detail in the game has dropped dramaticly:cool:
 
I agree cod4 is the better game, but why don't you just continue to play that, this is a different game.

though I will be re installing CoD4 as it's made me realise how good a game it was and still is.

It really hasn't, it's no better, but it definitely isn't worse.

Tibbsey, you really are missing out on MW1, the best COD game for MP since UO. Find a good HC server with good admins and regular, decent players and you're laughing.
 
Have tried playing HC MW1 and you either get constant nade-spammed over the tops of buildings or you get wandeaged through a wall.

Can't stand the perks system, there's no better way to unbalance a game.
 
I think looks ok very sharp but such a poorly coded game ?
Stutters like crazy have to switch off one of my 4870 cards to make it run better :-0 single card runs much better.
Same game engine as all the rest yet they f%#* it up.
What I don't understand is why on the new GTX580 card launch video
They was showing off the 580 buy playing Black Ops with no hic-ups ??

You really should, it adds an extra maturity to the game. There is still a bit of nade spam, but the HC gameplay is that good that i find it incredibly frustrating playing standard, to the point where I just can't play it anymore.

ATI have to bring out a profile for BO, I bet when they do it will run fine, surely you have had this issue with previous new games and Crossfire?

Nothing to do with the game, it's called microstutter. Runs perfectly fine on my 5870.
 
That's not micro stutter trust me its not.
The games has issues.

SP & zombie mode is smooth as butter but the normal MP stutters due to lag.

Which will be fixed shortly, it literally is 1 server console entry and the game is smooth as silk.

I hope so as there is no reason why it would stutter when all the other COD games that use this engine did not.
