    I know it's harsh to say this after one match, but what a horrible game :(

    You can't help but appreciate the intelligent re-spawn system in BC2.

    well as long as im not paying for it.

    I was half thinking about, yknow, finally buying one of those. but the next one out is MW3, and its going to have a premium subscription service. **** that, like. You want to charge me, the game itself better not be $60 again. TF2 and MNC had more sense.

    I believe that the subscription service is scrapped, as they pulled their heads out of their arses and realised people wouldn't pay.

    Couldn't agree more.
    I played for about 2 hours.
    Everything blurs together for me.
    The pace is good though.

    I don't really care much about graphics in a game but dam black ops looks like a 360 launch game :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 80 ✭✭Profondo Rosso


    The graphics on the Jungle map are awful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,941 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Its basically a port of the xbox version


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Annoyed with it already. Kinda fun like the original multiplayer with instant kills and whatnot, but, every third map you need to purchase as DLC. It's bull****.

    Worst cod out there, criminal it did so well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,204 ✭✭✭moonboy52


    I will give it a go for a bit.

    When the MW2 free weekend on steam was on i played for 20 minutes and uninstalled.

    Too much lone wolf gameplay for me. I want to play as part of a squad.

    The COD series is nothing short of a POS ever since cod4.
    mw2 and blops are just horrible in my opinion,their respective communities are not much better.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,282 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    How big is the download? Might give it a shot over the weekend. Didn't bother with it when it came out after the disaster that was MW2.

    Amen to that brother!

    The console crowd loves them though.

    Did I see 6.2gb? It's big anyway.

    Not that graphics makes a game, but I was really surprised at how bad it looked. I'll give it another go over the weekend but I'm pretty sure I won't be buying it. I think I prefer large scale objective based fps that have some tactical element (Enemy Territory has to be the exemplar of this type of game) as opposed ruining and gunning around poky little maps.

    Not worth the bandwidth/hard drive space used imo.

    Black ops is a insult to pc gamers and after playing this crappy game I do not have any faith in MW3 considering its going to be the same game with a new slap of paint applied.
