Call of Duty: Black Ops

[christman]

It is definitely not as smooth as CoD WoW from treyarch. Its nice to have the zombies back though. I hope they get their online play figured out. Ive heard its choppy across the board on systems. Look for updates soon.

I wasn't impressed with World at War or the other COD titles from Treyarch. I'd rather wait for MW3 if Infinity Ward or what is now Respawn can get their acts together and make it.

I think they would be scared of getting screwed again on royalties, like they were with MW2.

its ok

Plan to pick it up tonight. Been playing with a group of guys since The first modern warfare game. Heard good and bad things about it.

I think all you [strike]nerds[/strike] guys need to go find a woman.

 

[Keith_Indy]

Just picked it up at lunch, and haven't gotten home to play with it.

I've got a woman, and one does need me time every now and then.

For what; someone to lecture me about playing too many video games?

I got a copy yesterday, I played a solo campaign and completed it last night.
Overall, I was a bit disappointed. The graphics were OK but it just seemed to be same old same old.... No big Wow factor or anything exciting. The whole story line seemed to never end with the whole numbers thing and easily figured out the entire plot in the first five minutes.
I have not had a chance to play the online game yet and test it. I hope it has more to offer than the game. I dont mean to be negative in my personal review,but I find that some of these 60.00 over hyped games are just that...

I wish the game publishers would stop making solo campaigns an afterthought. There are only so many times I want to play Team Deathmatch against 13-year-old potty mouthed twitch gamers. I don't have 96 hours per week to become an expert on whatever the multiplayer game of the week is.

Games with rich solo campaigns (or better yet, same-system co-op like Halo that I can play with Spasmo) are where I want to spend my money. Anymore, the solo campaigns are more like a 4-hour tutorial for the multiplayer maps.

I agree the online multiplayer does get frustrating when everyone else plays 20 hours a week and are unstoppable. It would be much more fun if most players had an average skill level but unfortunately thats not realistic.

Most of us [strike]nerds[/strike] guys have women.. that's why we are playing online games!

This is where something like Fallout comes into play. It is 60 hours of solo games, if you want. Just isn't a First Person Shooter most of the time.

I like both. After a really frustrating day or two (worked 22 hours the last two days fixing coworker screwed up crap) I get on MW2 and imagine my opponents as those bugging me. Good release.

I love Fallout. I just wish Bethesda didn't consider bugs to be a feature. Everything built on that engine is horribly buggy and they don't release patches.

Ordered from New Egg today for 49.99 free ship. Pc version.

I KNEW Tre Arch couldn't go one game without a WWII level.

I hate the campaign in this one. MP is fine, but not as good as MW or MW2.

I read on the forums that they where supposed to fix the lag yesterday. I have not been back on to see. Until it's fixed I want nothing to do with it. I still think COD4 was the best.

 

[AXE835]

Its gotton a little better taking a break for now. Had to checkout ingo, ain't been on in a while.

 

[PatriotPride]

The lag is still atrocious, but I have confidence that it will be fixed soon.

I still haven't played on Live yet. Spent some time actually studying. Probably should stop playing and go back to studying.
