COD Black Ops

[The Coon]

It's indeed more like battlefield / world at war, not like the modern warfare series (that's to be expected)
However the PC version SUCKS SO BAD, apart from the extreme lag at release (I guess that's normal) the amount of bugs is insane
I can play at 25fps with a quad core extreme 3.6ghz and 2x gtx 280sli, with resolution at 1280x720, texture setting low, and everything else turned off. Despite that I still have framedrops, spikes, sudden 5 sec freezes and so on.
When they come with a patch though, seems the game is pretty good, saw some nice weapons (ballistic knife) altough I'm more into modern weapons, so I won't be playing this much as MW2 (if MW2 only had servers like Black Ops, it would be the best game ever. Highrise & Terminal 24/7 )

The game mods are awesome btw, gungame and others (SHP I think?), really awesome

The Coon Reviewed by The Coon on 11th Nov 2010. COD Black Ops Discussion about the game, thoughts, complaints, ect. The game itself has potential and is defiantly better then mw2 and waw (as both were crap). I like the fact that you buy everything and almost everything can be customized. The player cards are awesome, and the cinema is really slick and actually works well. I just have a few problems - stupid kids who can't afford internet get host. This is a major flaw in the game and one of the most annoying. Seriously needs to be fixed as Rating: 5

I just have a few problems

- stupid kids who can't afford internet get host. This is a major flaw in the game and one of the most annoying. Seriously needs to be fixed as it doesn't pick the best host.

- drop shooting is really dumb and very unrealistic. If your in a gun battle and your both standing up you wouldn't have time to drop down. Although they tried to patch it and fix it is still over used

- quick snipping was suppose to be addressed and never was

- game mods are dumb, why didn't they expand on the hardcore game mods. At least bring back hardcore mosh pit

MW2 was heaps better. Ever since MW came out, this series became an action FPS, not some retarded ass game that involves patience (BFBC2). Also, the host problems might be because you're on the PS3. I haven't had any games where I lag and I'm on a 6MB/s connection. Quick Scopes were probably the best thing about the Call of Duty series and they took them out completely. Aside from a sniper having deadly accuracy, it's not a factor in Black Ops. You can't scope in fast enough with your sniper against your opponent to QS them because Sleight of Hands no longer aims down sights faster for snipers. Also, no one played Hardcore game modes, they sucked ass. Everyone would be camping with overpowered guns like the FAL since they're one shot kills so that's why they took it out I'm presuming.

I absolutely disagree. Modern Warfare 2 was far better than black ops

Mah nigga.

MW2 was really crappy tbh, not sure how I racked up all the time played I had on it. cod4, even waw was a fps game. MW2 was not a fps more like a vps (vehicle person shooter) as there was massive campers just going for nukes. I know it is not only the ps3 as 360 is having server lag as well, its just they can't handle over a million people online at once. When I got the game at midnight and played with all the little kids in bed it worked a lot better. Quick scopes are really unrealistic, and one of the worst things in the series (as well has last stand). Lots played hardcore games, more played hardcore then regular as far as people I know, I don't see why they had to take out mosh pit, it was a great game mode. The true skilled running around for the objective and still getting kills would strive for points.

Are you joking? MW2 was hands down awesome, sure there was a lot of camping, but that's something you see in every FPS, and in Black Ops more then ever. MW2 was pure action, what FPS' are supposed to be. And going for nukes was a challenge abused by a lot of people, but it was a fun one for us tryhards too. And VPS? Nigga please, there were only 2 things you could control (Chopper Gunner, AC130) and both could be taken down unlike dogs in BO/WaW. And again, I've yet to experience lag on 360 and I've been playing for 18 hours or so. Obviously Quickscopes are unrealistic, it is a game and there are some things that can't be done irl.

Plus, no one would play hardcore modes over regular modes, it's just stupid, especially in games where you can killstreak whore. Double plus, if you were truly skilled, you wouldn't be mad at BO/MW2 for some of their flaws.
