Sounds like something from The Last of the Mohicans!

Hmm, I'm still in the "new game glow" phase, but alreaady I feel this is very inferior to MW2. Don't get me wrong, it's still a really good game, but I have a number of gripes with it.

-Firstly, the spawning is an absolute joke. The number of times I have killed people who spawn on top of me (or vice versa) is unacceptable. There are times when I can't even get to basic cover without being shot. I played the gun game on nuketown last night. Spawn and you can see 2-3 players in the very same area. You can go upstairs in the house overlooking the back garden and pick off newly spawned players.

-Secondly, I feel they have made an absolue balls of the level-up system. Being able to buy all perks etc from the get-go makes levelling up far less interesting.

-Some of the map sizes are completely incorrect for the number of players.

-I'm pretty sure that air drop crates can sometimes have nothing in them. Either that, or I'm going mad.

-I personaly think that the maps aren't half as good as MW2.

-The lag online is dreadful. I can actually see and hear I have shot someone but they keep going.

-Even though the menus and presentation are similar to MW2, they aren't nearly as polished.

Only time will tell, but when we look back a year from now, MW2 will be seen as the better game by a country mile.

good point about the maps, don't really like many of them. Lag is something you have to expect with P2P connections unfortunately.

MW2 has soo many flaws but it still feels like a COD game and I think that this game went so far to fix anything that any group of people had a problem with that they kind of went too far and took a lot of the Call of Duty-ness out of the game. I mean, unlocking things as you level up has been a mainstay of COD since 4 and the fact that you don't even have to get kills to unlock camos stinks of this game being designed for noobs. Making sniping useless is another thing that only encourages more noobish gameplay.

Treyarch messed with a lot of the things that made MW2 an addictive game because even though I hated a lot of things about it it was still fun leveling up and unlocking titles/guns/camos. They've done all they can to take the skill out of the game and try to make it more about luck.

Having played it a bit more today I take back some what I said yestreday. Its still in w@w's league, which is a pretty average fps. MW1 and 2 are in a different league imo.

Something does tell me we'll still be having MW2 boards nights 6 months after BO is out

rob180

Got mine in Tralee at midnight and got playing at once,had to download a patch(23mb in size). Went in Zombie to play and tried to play with friends in the states but couldn't.Kept trying a number of time but to no avail , has anyone have this problem?

i enjoyed it the first few hours, time went by then i relised the maps are awful the worst set of maps in the history of cod without a doubth.

the guns are just shocking, they look and sound cat aswell as having to put in a whole round to kill someone no matter what gun you use, and since when does the famas shake and move more than beyonce's arse??

finally the most annoying thing i find is this whole new ranking system, its just awkward and complicated ruining the traditional simple to view leader boards where you could compare stats with freinds.

i was a critic of mw2 but this game makes it look a classic, in a nutshell black ops is a joke what a letdown.

while I'm aware that this is the megabitch thread I do think the right patches could make it great. They probably can't change the sound now but if they change snipers back, fix the spawning and bring out some decent maps it's potentially up there with COD 4 imo.

This game sucks donkey balls, I'm kind of annoyed I bought it. I will give it a few weeks though and I'll try and not play MW2 in that time then I'll have a game of MW2 and see how I feel. A break away from MW2 and then going back to it might show up Black Ops as being better.

The graphics are dirt, the sounds are dirt, the spawning is dirt, the guns are dirt and the maps are also dirt.

The characters look very cartoonish and they look and move worse than they did in MW1. The lag is a joke in the games but I suppose it was almost as bad in MW2 but atleast the better graphics kind of made up for it. I am just after playing a few games there, I don't know the name of the map but it was on the ski slope, anyway I got five kill killstreak straight away and somebody then killed me. I dont mind that but it seems if you die once you are going to die about 4 or 5 times straight away because of the sh*te spawning system. I kept respawing pretty much in the same location that I had just died and without being able to move or get to cover I kept getting picked off. At one stage in the same game I died and I respawned right in the middle of an enemy napalm (spelling) strike and I died immediately without the chance to even touch a button on the control pad, I ended up finishing the game with a 1:1 kdr.

It seems like the game is after taking a step backwards.

Backwards from World at War? Because that was the last Treyarch game.

Depending on my mood i'd rate either MW1 or WAW multiplayre as the best in the series. WAW had some fantastic maps and although it's still too early for me to make a final judgement I'm liking BO - in terms of maps -the least so far.

KERSPLAT!

Neverending enemy spawns and lack of gameplay ruining campaign mode, cuts to video every 2nd minute, pretty happy with multi though :q

iMuse

The framerate issues on ps3 are unbelievable, shows how much they care when they released it in this state

I have to admit the the game is starting to piss me off tbh

The lag is really ****ing awful, I expect lag in somthing like ground war but every single game mode is the same.

The return of commando is painful to see

Graphics and sound are horrendous, its like a cheap game tbh. Its like they are relying on the call of duty name to sell this game which has worked unfortunately.

Spawning. Iv said this numerous times now but the spawing is awful, I kill a guy and next thing I know he's behind me, wtf. Spawning in a middle of a gun fight is pretty bad tbh.

Im also finding that it takes a **** load bullets to put someone down, that couldnt be right

The menu freezes alot and it doesnt like you sending messages to friends either (freezes during that I find)

I agree with ade about the lazyiness of the devs but this game was rushed alot

I still think its a good game but it couldve been so much better

None of them have come close to mw1 imo. That first 6 months - 1 year playing that game was class.

The first

'Nam

mission was stupid in my opinion. After you

go down the ladder/tunnel and come out at the top of the hill with the trench at the bottom, you literally have to keep suicide running to the checkpoints until eventually you get lucky. You could spend half an hour killing them but they keep spawning and getting close enough to kill you. There isn't even a time delay after you kill them to try move forward, they just arrive and even after you get through that, going up the other hill is almost as bad.

That was the worst part for me too. I lost count of the amount of times I had to repeat that part. If anyone remembers the mission on MW2 called Loose Ends(the one on Estate), the last part of it in particular.. well it's twice as bad as that in BO.

Dcully

Im in two minds about BO tbh, what i will say is they will never beat the original Call of Duty for top class multiplayer gaming.

anyone have the problem of getting killed by someone with only a few bullets while you shot first and were unloading half your damn magazine into their face, yet you dont get the kill. the re spawning is sometimes terrible, i hate some of the gun sounds, they sound flimsy and flat.

Captain Chaos

Yeah, when I got to that part in Black Ops last night I just had enough of it at that stage and turned it off. The single player campaign is the worst I have played in all the 7 games.

I thought parts of MW 1 and 2 were bad but Black Ops takes the cake and with the awful AI and scripting, I just couldn't go on anymore.

I won't even go on about the MP side of it. Add to that the graphics are very sub par overall IMO, I can't actually believe the PS3 version is worse again after playing the 360 version myself. If the game was actually decent I'd over look that issue but when the rest of the game just reeks of a lazy rush job I can't. Also, the sound effects, never a strong point in the CoD series just seem really bad in this, guess I'm just more used to the Battlefield sounds at this stage.

Back to MW1/2 and BC2.

I can actually live with the BS parts of MW2 sp and mp now after seeing the overall state of Black Ops. I'm glad I didn't wait and hold this as an Xmas prezzy for myself or I'd be more disapointed than I am now after buying it. I can't believe the online reviews so far myself and the scores this thing is getting, I believe most of these were typed up in advance of anyone playing the thing because a quote I see used all of the time is "best single player CoD yet". IMO it's the worst, granted the story line in MW2 was just insane the game play, pacing, AI, scripting and graphics are superior and that would go for MW1 too, which I'd rate as best in the series.

After CoD 3, I swore I'd never buy another Treyarch CoD game, so I rented WaW, thankfully, but then I went and bought this, suckered by media hype.:mad:.

So long CoD. Thanks IW for CoD4 MW.

Dice, you're up next with BF3. A different animal to CoD4 and BC2, lets see how it does, I don't think they could mess it up anymore than what Treyarch managed to shove out the door for Activision this year.

cedan

This game is stupid and pathetic and I dont even want to play it.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH Its actually killing me that I cant play it, damn yellow light of death.

Soby

MW1 set the way for the rest of the games and completely changed online gaming.Shooting games anyway

The Server Favourites thing is a load of sh*te. I added the Boards.ie TDM server to favourites, but it doesn't appear - when I try to add it again, it says that the server is already in my favourites :mad:

Looks like I'm gonna have to keep asking for invites for a while...
