call of duty: black ops topic

Post Reply New Topic

I only play the version for DS because 1) I'm a sucker for DS FPS games for some odd reason(They're colorful and control amazingly well) and 2) the online portion is actually fun to play and although there is voice chat for it, the 12 Y/O 'I slept with your mom' kids are non-existant(They vomit in the presence of late N64 graphics). Instead there are either 8 year olds who gradually lose interest and stop playing as well as people who like me have a strange attachment to DS fps's.

The DS version has Zombies that can be played cooperatively with a friend or online and for the past week, I've been devoting time to playing it because of how fun it is and because unlike with playing an xbox, my brother won't come and turn off the xbox and tell me it's his turn when he's been playing the whole day and we share the xbox. Yes, I play mostly on handhelds because of my douche of a brother.
Zombies is going to keep me sane on the turbulence filled airplane ride to Puerto Rico I will undertake tomorrow. It has 4 exclusive levels that are generally much larger than Nacht Der Untoten, unlimited throwing knives, Vietcong zombies in one level, dogs, powerups, mysteryboxes, expandable areas, etc. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0-XOs2b1uY&feature=related[/youtube]

I have not played any of the Call of Duty games, so I bought this to have a go, I think it was pretty enjoyable, I think I liked most that the levels were pretty different, although I had to constantly recognise what the new bad guy's uniforms were, surprisingly except for the time you play as a russian and most enemies are white uniforms. I saw the plot coming from a mile away, but it was still enjoyable enough, and I really liked the shotgun, especially the fire one.

I tried the zombie thing, but I could not get very far, and I am a bit of a wus at horror games, but the clip at the end of the campain was pretty funny.

About to prestige in Black Ops, and finished the campaign. The campaign was nothing special (plot made me laugh), and the multiplayer has problems:

A] widespread, easily executed, and unpatched glitch that allow you to reuse killstreak rewards at will
B] cruddy network interpolation makes kill cams etc look like people are lagging even when they arent.
C] dedicated servers must be rented, and only from one place

That said, I enjoy it. Good customization, fun weapons, and an attempt (albeit a half assed one) to fix some of MW2's problems.

Hmm, lots of COD haters here!... Can't blame em' though, as MW2 was a major shame to the series.. Luckily, this game is made by a whole different company... and you can tell.

The game does have it's glitches, which one's don't?.. but overall it is a very enjoyable game in my opinion. I don't care for single player campaigns much anymore, for any game, but I do care about the multiplayer.. Multi player is great! Love the new features they have, especially the dive move... Love playing headquarters and being the last guy alive, while everyone is watching me dive and take people out:P IMO this is what MW2 should have been.. because it's quite similar just more crisper.

I bought for the PC via Steam, and really wish I wouldn't.

Probably the worst COD yet, and I've vowed to never buy another game from Treyarch.

I'd call myself a diehard COD fan, but still, this game is dreadful.

MW2 was a total mess, enjoyable to a degree but definately a mess which never got fully cleaned up (Who remembers the care package glitch, the Javelin glitch etc etc). It's weapon balance was stupid, some of the maps were just spawn trapping hell (Highrise domination anyone? Park a sentry gun on the helipad facing A and just sit back and dance).

Black ops has certainly made things better in my opinion, it's a more crisper affair with a better balancing act and I've seen a lot less problems with it.

Net code is still terrible however, Bungie should retire making games and just make billions selling Halo's net code. As much as I dislike Halo it's net code is the best I've come across.

COD Black Ops is much better than any COD game Before it idc what anyone says it surpasses all its ancestors and here is why. COD MW2 had sooooooo many issues idk where to begin. Lets see how about One Man Army, Unlimited Noob Tubes need I say more about that, boosters took away the joy of ffa, Nukes were such an over powered Killstreak it was just annoying in my point of view, Even though this is still kinda an issue in Black Ops Griefers, Team killers in hardcore, Tenth Prestige noobs that think they are so cool, and the stacking killstreaks. Black Ops may have it's issues, but there are many less issues in BO then MW2 by far. They have been trying to fix connection issues for every system, pc is kinda hard to fix cause there are soooo many variables with PCs they are all made different which is why i stay away from PC when it comes to COD, They are starting to fix the Commando knife/ Inconsistant knifes in BO. They aren't just abandoning the game IDC what anyone says they aren't abandoning the game they are working hard to try and deal with the issues. One main reason for connection issues is over 3 mill people playing it at the same time on every system available.

Don't want to sound like a weirdo, but I think the fact you take a full cartridge of bullets and are felled by a knife is laughable. But that is what every COD game is like: You take more than enough bullets to kill a normal human being and heal, yet when it comes to a knife, it kills you instantly. It makes it seem all you needed to kill every COD character in single combat was a medieval knight: that would make the knife utterly useless.
