Bored of BO already

Dcully

So i looked forward to BO multiplayer like most people here ,initial impressions were average.
Since then i find myself playing it more in the hope that ill enjoy it more but unfortunately the more i play the more i dislike.
Ive hit lvl 50, used all weapons perks etc and just find the game boring and dare i say it arcadey or consoley with the run and gun gameplay and all the gimmicky crap.
Every weapon seems to feel the same apart from looking different :rolleyes:
I seem to be going through the same as i did with MW2,forcing myself to hit max lvl to have played a fair amount to judge it fairly but ultimately disliking it.
When i want to pass some time playing an fps i find im going back to Medal of Honor,Bad Company2,Day of Defeat source, Team Fortress2 and COD4.
I had high hopes for BO mainly because of dedi servers but also because i actually enjoyed WaW multiplayer ie treyarchs last COD but i just cant take to black ops at all
Im probably in the minority but anyone else bored of it already?
Maybe im just getting old

You're not alone. I was playing on console, but traded the game in yesterday. Love the COD series, but found that this was not worth my time.

I hated MW2 after 24 hours. Stopped playing it after a week for a month or two. Came back and appreciated it a bit more than before. Maybe if you did likewise, give a break for a bit instead of forcing it on you, you could come back and enjoy it more.

Im not bored at all, but then i enjoy playing the game with friends, thats the biggest attraction for me. If i had a proper PC still then i'd probably be like yourself and would play it for a few times and head back to the better pc games... when cod4 was released i played it for about a week and just got fed up with it and stuck with cs and tf2 or even some quake/UT. They are imo much better games and are far better suited for the PC not too mention all the RTS/MMO's available on the PC.

But yeah... too answer your question, no im not bored

cherryghost

I'm not bored either.

There was a lot of hype for this game. Hype is a bad thing! Always raises your expectations.

jonski

Playing with a group on Teamspeak so it's a case of I'm playing whatever they are playing ... but I could take it or leave it , wouldn't bother me if I never played it again ...except for the cash outlay .

Wonda-Boy

I aint bored either yet!

I take it for what it is....you are always gonna get bored with COD quickly coz lets face it there is very little there to start with. I think if I had played the other games there would be nothing new for me at all. I do find myslef thinking how good the MP would be with tanks and that like BFBC2......:rolleyes:

Ahh well it will do till the new maps for BFBC2 come out and then I will play that and rock back and forth.

I can see what your saying, I think treyarch listened to the hoards of moaners on youtube and came out with a fairly generic game with great maps. Loosing the target of a nuke or something similar for players I think is a great loss. The glitches, boosting and noobtubes gave something to talk about among players and made it controversial. Youtube was kept going for 12 months on MW2 videos where as I can only see Black Ops keeping interest for another couple of months. I'm already bored looking at the youtube vids. I haven't played the game much yet as my Xbox is being repaired so maybe my opinion will change.

TheFairy

Finding the contary tbh. Game play is improving as players start to learn the maps and the weapons. Playing with yer mates on teamspeak also makes the game immensely more fun.

I havent prestiged, wont do that until I get bored with it.

cherryghost

World At War done tanks in Multiplayer. Bad idea for such small maps. Game wouldn't work so well on large scale maps either I'm afraid

Absolam

I find myself going back to the Battlefield time and time again for multiplayer; Medal of Honour isn't bad but BO just paled into Benny Hill Blast Ems again.... and I was so looking forward to it!

Wonda-Boy

Well, when I said adding tanks n **** I meant obviously tweaking the maps cherry :rolleyes:

I can just see NUKETOWN with 4 tanks in the back garden...LMFAO. I personally wish the map where a little bigger and the spawn points were fixed.

And the game needs in round team management BIG TIME.

Sprrratt

Im trying so hard to not say it but... I dont find the excitement to go play it like I did previous games.

Its call of duty... if you want BF go play BF... lol. The maps are as big, if not bigger than any of the other cod games. I think they've already said they'll be tweaking spawn points tho.

Had some awesome games in wager mode last nite with clanmates, great craic. One of the best things put in ANY cod game imo.

The maps in COD UO are vastly bigger than anything in black ops.
But yeah if i want to play large scale maps ill play BC2

I was just wondering is Black Ops is worth the initial 50e investment or is it better to wait/get it at all? I have embargoed the series since COD4. I loved the first 2, the 3rd was ****, and CO4 was a masterpiece. However after the release of World at War and Modern Warfare 2, I have decided the series had peaked at COD4.
There are much better online experiences for ffp's in my opinion such as Battlefield, but I was wondering if Black Ops has brought anything new to the series. And not just stupid online perks such as a ninja blade, or super jump. I don't want ****ing halo.

Exactly how I feel

I actually played MW2 for a bit the other day.

I'm finding it very hard to commentate on BO though

Big Baby Jaysus

IM ALL ABOUT IT!

Here's a question for those who find Black Ops boring.

Are you scoring/doing as well as you did when you played MW2?

Tallon

Overpowered killstreaks aside, yes

U numpty.....;)

What I mean is, from what most of the OP are saying is that this COD has not changed much at all. If they are gonna bring the series on and stop having them like "POLICE ACADEMY FILMs - Call Of Duty 22:Very BLACK OPS" then something has to change. And this could be the next step a few jeeps, tanks whatever. Is was just a suggestion thats all.

In fairness tho.. the killstreaks are just as powerful in black ops, its just harder to get them.

I would say that this is the biggest reason why some people are bored at the game, because its harder than MW2. You cant just camp yourself to 5 kills and end up with another 20 from killstreaks alone. I was being nosy last nite and looking at some people on my friends lists combat records last nite, most of the ones that don't like the game.. havent even given it a proper go yet, alot of them havent tried out the chopper or gunship. Very few people have large 60+ high scores and most play nothing but TDM. I guess those are the games that really gave some people a buzz in MW2, those one off games where you went on a complete rampage.. they're rarer now tho and some people dont like it

They tried it in w@w... it didnt work. No point trying to be something your not.

Thats exactly my point though.

Im saying that I obviously dont got 40-2 every game anymore because of th K/S not counting towards other ones and not being as powerful as MW2

I honestly think I just havn't given it a chance yet and need to pay it a bit more

But the excitment is deffo not there

Yes if not better, scores or K.D ratio has nothing to do with it,im playing fps games for many years both very competitively and now for fun, im no pro but pretty capable

Magill

I guess its like every game, some people will never like it others will love it, like MW2... i dont think you'll find many fans on the PC of MW2 thats for sure . My advice would be to leave it for a few weeks or even a month or so and then come back. If you dont like it after that... we'll i guess you're never going to like it. Every game has its fans and haters, blackops is no different.

I'm doing better on this game than I did on MW2. I really like this game and have actually been playing a lot more objective gametypes on it which has taught me a lot.

I really like the different pace and the 1v1 dynamics, and I used to love nothing more than picking my "Witch" class and runnin amok on MW2 !

Is there a problem with the PS3 version of the game because although opinion seems to be divided about whether the game has anything like the longevity that MW2 has, it seems to be more PS3 players that have the hump with the game.
Hopefully this can be patched as it would be a real shame if the game doesn't live up to the hype..

Its definitely alot different for us commentating thats for sure. The killstreaks I have no problem getting. Ive played most of my time on Blops with headpunk and he will tell you i get dogs and chopper gunners left right and center.

I think its a different kind of frustration. Its kind of like "awww what the fook, you ba... ah nevermind". I dont find it competitive like MW2 was. Its more like a family game. Oh everybody is able to get kills and everyone has fun theres no out and out better players. Yeah all well and good, for buswan kers.

Still enjoy it a fair bit. I only play around 3 times a week tho as opposed to pretty much everyday MW2 :pac:
