Black Ops Opinions

I go with HoneyChicken and Dutchoper72 :D..... wow didn't know i could get 20 opinions back in just one day.... O.O
 
For the 360, I can firmly say that they have not ;)

My brother has been playing it on the 360 for two weeks now, and he's never experienced any lag.

Also, I played an hour of the campaign, but it got too boring. Most of the lag is gone in multiplayer, as long as I play on servers that are in scandinavia... However, the customization part is great, and most of the weapons seem balanced. But to be honest, it wasn't worth $60.

You covered it all, but actually the grahpics got downgraded, because it runs on a different something.


It's bassically just a new MW2, kinda dissapoinint. But I do enjoy playing it every day, if that counts.

didn't buy MW2 and im not giving them my money till they can prove they can make a game that isn't crap AND doesn't rip us pc gamers off completely..60 dollars for pc is BS

Yeah, I'm afraid I'm going to have to back this one up Blackhawk. I have the game for the 360 and I have yet to hit any substantial lag.
 
If you enjoy the Call of Duty franchise, you should probably keep begging for Black Ops. A lot of performance issues are currently being or have been corrected via patches and hotfixes. There's generally going to be some kind of performance issues with new games, but I think Black Ops has gotten such a bad rap because the problems plaguing the game were so numerous.

Overall it's a solid Call of Duty title, and while I don't particularly fancy anything after CoD 2, this one is more of the same of what made the Modern Warfare series and subsequent CoD titles popular and generally pretty good. The multiplayer is a bit more balanced this time around with some nice, new game modes and tweaks to the gameplay. My only real complaint is that they devs talk about the GunGame mode like they created it... I was definitely playing the GunGame mod in CS 1.6 five years ago, haha!

If you dig the newer CoD titles, you'll probably dig this one too.
 
I personally fell asleep playing during the storyline it was so bad. The driving parts you could not even steer the car, you held down a key to drive forward and that was all that you did. You also did some of the most pointless things I have ever had to do in a singleplayer game. What was the entire point of the SR-71? Go here and press A. Go here and press B. Done. It contributed nothing to the game, of which I spent more time watching cutscenes than actually playing.
There were not many cut scenes and the vehicles were not hard to drive. Its your mouse sensitivity not being high enough. Also most games have people pressing pointless points just look at all the console games :P
 
I was just playing Black Ops over the weekend with my best friend since he had come over to my house and brought it with him. Overall, It's amazing compared to past versions. At least to me.

I'll start with Zombies, since I loved Zombies in World at War. I only have one complaint about this part of the game, and that would be that they made President Kennedy talk too much. The Pack-a-punch machine and different machines that give you beverages that improve your character, such as Jugger-nog or Quick revive, were a major plus. At level 15 and higher, every 5 levels, you have to kill a Mad Scientist that will steal your guns and the round is timed. If you don't get your guns back by killing him, you lose your guns and are stuck with just a knife, points, and whatever enhancements you gained from the machines other than upgraded guns. If these were in World at War, I never saw them or didn't have the right maps if they were on the expansion maps for Zombies.

*HINT*: If you get the L96AW from the Mystery Box, go pack-a-punch it and have fun quick-scoping zombies and blowing their brains out in one shot until level like 30 or so. I think the pack-a-punch thing is only on "FIVE" but I'm not sure. Never played the other maps very much.

On multiplayer, it's a massive upgrade from Modern Warfail 2. The noob-tube seems to require a direct hit to kill 80% of the time now, and One Man Army is gone. The guns aren't much different from each other, but they do have advantages and disadvantages to other guns. Quick scoping is much more difficult now, considering the Pro version of Sleight of Hand doesn't effect Snipers. You need to wait about half a second to get an accurate shot after you pull your scope up. There are no longer game-ending kill streaks. The perks are more balanced, as well.

On the single-player, there are areas they could have done better. People complain about the beginning level being too easy, but it's meant to be easy... it's the first level. Not everyone plays First Person Shooters all the time. They didn't make driving the car in that level hard for a reason. Later on you have to steer while using the vehicles, and using the helicopters is a challenge as well, and it's very interesting. However, the storyline may be a bit hard to follow until you're on the last couple of levels. Then everything will fall together.

However, I still have to say the storyline of the Modern Warfare series blows Black Ops out of the water still.

Combat Training is a plus for those people who are just getting an fps game and need time to practice how to aim and shoot for kills, as well as how to use various weapons and get a hang of the leveling system. It can also be used by experienced players to keep themselves from getting rusty or warm up just before a match by setting it to Veteran or Hardened.

The graphics are also a big improvement and move lifelike than Modern Warfail 2. The theater mode can help the competitive and artistic sides of fps gaming, too. For the artistic side, you can take screenshots of funny, cool, amazing, or many other things. For the competitive side, you can use it to review matches and find what you did wrong, what your teammates did wrong, and what you can do to improve.

I would buy it for ya if I had the money, Winterwolf. Sadly, though, I don't.
 
i got it gifted to me by fluxion! *THANKS*
Its pretty cool. But ive had multi player crash like 5 times!!
 
U should buy it. Black ops lagged at the beginning. Just as MW2. Takes some time to get it fixed ya know. It lagged on ps3 too..
 
To me Black Ops is great, got it on the first day and still love it. It's just they are having some problems with the connection and its pretty laggy when playing on Multiplayer but they are fixing that. As for Zombies... HOLY CRAP, I LOVE ITTTT :P
