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:
Had to pull ya up on that part mate. I presume your taking in general(public matches)? I really don't see how MW2 is more competitive compared to the likes of COD2, 4 and now BO Selecta(I'm ignoring COD3 as it hurts my head even thinking about it. Never played WaW.)
Lunge.
Boom.
Painkiller.
Ridiculous blast range on shotgun.
Noob tubes.
Iz want Noooooke.
Damn, I lost my tent!
Spawn trap so I can improve my K/D.
Beep beep beep(heartbeat sensor).
OMG I gotta Nooooke.
That ^ in essence summed up MW2. It wasn't competitive unless you resorted to similar cheap tactics(IMO). Any average player could use some of things and do well. Probably not consistently well but it was possible to get some ridiculous scores
Sadly for them, most of that is gone or nerfed big time. It's about ability more so now. I'm sure there are a few people here might not like to admit but those things I mentioned are factors as to why are not liking the latest.
I believe people should give this a chance, a proper chance. To say your done after 2 weeks is ridiculous as it is hilarous. What many are saying in this thread is how I sounded at the exact same time last year. What I did instead of throwing in the towel is give the game a break for a month or two instead of forcing myself to play it. Which a few here no doubt have been. I began to enjoy MW2(at times) 3 months after buying it

Pretty much what i was gonna say ade, also... its not that theres no stand out good players... its just harder to stand out because you rely more on skill than on overpowered game mechanics.0 -

Dont think for a second I dont agree with you buddy
All that crap gone is great! Im glad. Im just saying that i dont find myself dying to play this one and in terms of scores and KD its pretty much the same if not better. Just no thirst to play it. I dont seem to be the only one. Saying that ill definitely continue to play it fairly regularly as i dont enjoy any other game at all in multiplayer.
On a side note I have no idea where you got the idea that im stopping playing the game altogether!

I play it damn near every chance I get at the weekend, only because I only get to play it at the weekend. I probably wouldn't be that interested in it (to the extent I am now) if I had it up here.
I think people in general hyped it up way too much, and no game could ever meet those expectations (though Treyarch are trying to balance it).
Yeah its a great game but i reckon i hyped my own hopes too high
Ill be on later lads btw 0 -

That's fair enough man. You seem to be minority in those who aren't captivated(like meeeeee :pac:) by Black Ops in that your glad they've nerfed and removed a lot of that ****e. As said a few times now, I think deep down many people who aren't enjoying BO are missing that aspect ie: the BS things I mentioned above.Yeah its a great game but i reckon i hyped my own hopes too high Ill be on later lads btw
Guilty of doing the same with MW2 admittedly. Part of the reason I really never warmed to it. You probably didn't notice but around a week from release till I picked it up I kept fairly schtum trying not to get my hopes up. I mentioned how I found it funny some people were immediately saying this the best COD game ever and 2 weeks later the opinion has been pretty much turned on it's head.
I will say one thing though, despite all my defence of Black Ops... COD4 is still miles ahead as the best COD multiplayer. All that needed to be fixed/removed was 2 perks. Nothing more and it would have been MP perfection.I play it damn near every chance I get at the weekend, only because I only get to play it at the weekend. I probably wouldn't be that interested in it (to the extent I am now) if I had it up here.

Helps not being over-exposed to the game. In the long run you and Eamo will enjoy it more than most I reckon. Helps that you as well as my connection has improved(well it seems your one has).0 -

I throughly enjoyed my brief time playing CS. Only ever played HL1, obvious classic.
I still play HL2 DM . Can hop on and usually get a good KDR. Laser guided RPGs are so much fun! 0 -

To say your done after 2 weeks is ridiculous as it is hilarous
Its a pretty simply concept that you dont seem to be able to grasp, I dont like the game end of story,maybe that will change who knows.
You keep coming up with these one liners that suggest people are wrong to dislike the game,ie the above quote and suggestion earlier in this thread that those who dislike may have a poor kill/death ratio.
Its nothing to do with time played or kill/death ratio.
Im mean the game is hardly hard now is it?its an arcade shooter where frags are ridiculously easy to come by for all.Sadly for them, most of that is gone or nerfed big time. It's about ability more so now. I'm sure there are a few people here might not like to admit but those things I mentioned are factors as to why are not liking the latest.
If you knew me mate you would know im a veteran fps player and more than capable of holding my own against very good players just like quite a few of the old regulars from boards who around here for many years.
You would also know i hate mw2 exactly because of the many elements that make it easy as you have listed earlier in this thread and that i enjoy the more challenging fps games.
Your argument that people dislike the game because it may be too hard is absolutely ridiculous and totally unfounded,just a wild assumption on your part i might add.
Cant you just accept my opinion that as of now i dislike the game and move on
I welcome debate etc but you just seem to want to push your opinion a wee bit too hard
We all are entitled to our opinion, if I dislike a game just let it be so, i wouldnt patronize you if you disliked something i liked by suggesting in effect the game was too tough for you therefore thats why you dislike it, thats pretty arrogant im afraid to say mate.
You like BO i dont, as i say that may change but let me make up my own mind 0 -

His "one liner" was hardly to say your wrong if you dont like the game... he simply said that to give up after 2 weeks is hilarious... i agree. I've seen alot of games change massively within the first month or two of release.
In fairness, if you dislike the game... just say it once and be done with it. Dont see why people that dont like the game have to constantly post about it(Not directed at you, but there are others that need to say the same thing 50 times). A game is only as easy as your opponents(You could join a public game of quake and think its easy.. try playing against Toxic or whoevers at ze top these days), this game is no different, its almost certainly harder for newbies to get kills than it was in MW2.
Its obvious that ade wasnt painting everyone with the same brush... but im inclinded to agree with him that alot of people dont like the game because they can't use cheap tactics and classes to get easy kills... in general.. because they're not very good.
There's nothing wrong with him defending the game, i dont see him trying to force his opinion on anyone.
Likewise theres nothign wrong with not liking the game... everyone to there own... ****... i dont like curry... im sure lots of others do.0 -
I've said my opinion in a few detailed posts before so I don't feel it's necessary tbh to go into great detail for the umpteen time.
I'm certainly not one for generalizing.. if you did meet me you might understand why People are obviously entitled to their opinion. But when people are either claiming this is the best COD ever (even mainstream names like Hutch who said the exact same thing for for MW2!) or on the other hand those who dislike the game in the space of 2 weeks it's just comes across as OTT in certain cases. I'll say it now but the thread where there was a poll asking if you prefer MW2 or BO I think it was, this was after a few days after release! Give it a month at least.
I appreciate one posters opinion in particular so admittedly reading him say that he has traded in the game already was just baffling tbh.
As for K/D I'm sure there are people out there who are doing as good if not better than what they were before but are not enjoying the game but there are some who aren't getting the scores they once did. This could be a factor for people disliking the game. Nothing wrong with me asking people here is that is in their thinking when they say they are not enjoying the game. The COD official forums proves there are people of this opinion. So it's no wild assumption I'm making.
To be blunt, Magill is in the the money(
) with regards to my opinions... the only thing he is wrong about is his disliking of curry. What a weirdo 0 -

Magil and Ade, i have not given up on the game as you lads seem to think and find hilarious.
Im still playing it on and off, my initial post was im bored of it already, thats different than giving up on the game hence why ive said numerous times this boredom may change
Being honest the game isnt bad,i quite enjoy whoring it up with the m16 every so often but part of the problem is i have far too many top class fps games [is that really a problem?] and BO would have needed to be pretty special to take me away from them because when im playing BO the other games are constantly calling me , maybe i should have explained that at the outset 
Magil you are a weirdo if you dislike curry :P0 -

Yeah I'm pretty bored with it too. It is what I expected though, just MW2 with a new hat.
.
The game modes are the exact same, the guns perks are pretty much the same and the single player is mediocre at best. COD is becoming the FIFA of FPS's. Just change the maps, add a new perk and a new gun and re-release the same game with a new name. FPS's badly need some inventive thinking to keep them fresh & interesting.0 -

Yeah, killstreaks are kool but it should not be the lvl 47 prestige getting them constantly and when he finished the 2nd best player on the server gets it. Meanwhile back on the range "NEW GUY GARY" logs on for a game and wants to give black ops a go and get hammered and says nah not for me this game.
If they do get Killstreaks give them spy planes of counter spy planes or "JACK RUSSELL attack dogs"....not a HUEY or some**** giving them another 10 easy kills.
And this AIRSPACE full ****...OMG the amount of times I had a cobra and could not use it.....RAGE!!!!!!!! Kinda ^^^^^ ****s up my above point but you know what I mean
