Is BlackOps Really That Bad To People?

[akatsaru]

I mean, im a big videogame player and i waste my life playing COD on weekends but i mean idk i get so much shizz for playing blackops :/ ppl always say how much better COD 4 is or ModernWarefare 2. Are the olds ones really the best?

[.Gazelle.]

Personally I can't stand Black Ops :l. The only reason I got it was to play with my friends and even with them i was having a horrible time with the game, I just put up with it for a couple weeks then went back to MW2

It's almost like an interactive movie. A bad one, at that. The storyline is overplayed as shit: "Hello *insert generic name here*, you are a soldier but now you're a top secret undercover agent that does bad things to bad people. This can all happen in real life, trust us."

The gameplay is, and I may be over-exaggerating, the same as the other CODs. You shoot shit with next to no variance.

Can't really comment on the music because I usually play better music (and better games).

Honestly, FPS's are played out as a genre entirely. Pick up some cool indie games. The reason why they're indie is because the ideas wouldn't make much money when presented to the masses.

Call of Duty 2 was the best out of all of them but as far as modern warfare goes the original was the best. I hated black ops because the first 2 weeks after release on pc it was close to unplayable due to retarded lag spikes. If that wasn't enough it was just a pretty bad gameplay wise aswell. It just seemed way to slow compared to other cod games. Between cod:waw and black ops(both made by treyarch) I won't be buying another call of duty game.

because 99% of the ideas are terrible

like "indie" music. 99% of it sucks but that 1% is pretty solid


console fps always suck its nothing new. playing single player fps is a sad sad sad waste of time

I'm with Asphyx here. Pretty much every FPS game is the same, from Halo to CoD. There's just not a ton of variance.

Indie games usually lack in either depth or length, and are usually just a novelty concept. Not sure how Angry Birds got to be as popular as it is.

I try and stay away from FPS games in general.

After that video I watched on here it seems pretty bad.

[Hurleyisgod]

I only play black ops for the flamethrower, it's all i ever use.
And zombies of course.

But I'll stick to my SNES thank you very much

[kommisar]

people who call themselves hardcore gamers and play cod and halo3 errday are posers just sayin

[elitestrrts]

Black ops is pretty lame, i tend to stick with arcade style games.. Example: Trails HD

[sakura080789]

I personally like the older ones BlackOps to me is over rated.

[Coolboyrulez0]

grab a few friends, get on skype and play any cod. fun times regardless of how broken the games are. [spoiler: very]

PS: Clocked 570 hours on MW2 and 200 on BO so far. ooops.

[HoneyMelonCalibrator]

yes, modern warfare 2 is by far better than black ops and cod 4 is arguably better than modern warfare 2

either way black ops is terrible

[Calcium Deposit]

I would say, if you genuinely enjoy something, don't let other people's opinions ruin it for you.

[Crashfan3]

It's a total train wreck on PC. I've heard the 360 version is pretty enjoyable, but a lot of FPS games nowadays are catered to the 360 market as a priority and if the developers have time, they fine tune the PS3 version, and then the PC version. Soooo that's no surprise.

Anyway if you like the game, play it. Tell your friends to suck a nut.

Hell yeah CoD2 all the way, and it was the only CoD game I actually beat (CoD3 too, but I just rented and beat it, it was alright compared to 2). It was the best because WW2 was where it's at.

If you look at MLG and all the effort that goes into that corporation .. I strongly disagree.


As for the COD franchise. I prefer MW2 to BlackOps, better maps and more variety.

[L_eMo_N]

Black Ops isn't a bad game, it just forces a completely different play style. MW2 was extremely fast paced, and it definitely allowed a lot of rushing, which is what most people did (including all the quickscope junkies). Black Ops is the way it is because of how the community complained of all the flaws in MW2, overpowered guns, smg's with unrealistic range, too many quickscoper's, etc etc. It's definitely a lot more fair now, but the pace is a lot slower. No rushing, reckless tears, forces defensive play. That's it.

[fido123]

In the end it comes down to preference but even on my friends' i7 with a 480GTX it lags like shit. They should refund everybody who bought the game on PC cause it's unplayable on most hardware =/

[MrGiggles]

i could write essays on everything that black ops does wrong

starting with the excessive use of scripted events

and ending with an all-caps conclusion demonizing Activision's questionable business practices
