MW2 Vs. Black Ops

Black Ops removed all the fun that MW2 brought to the table, i miss being able to to run around with a hand gun or shotgun and still get a few kills.

Shotgun: one shot, one kill. Reloads slow, though (using the shotgun where you see the shells on the side). Handgun, use duels, so tap tap tap, maybe 6, and they die, but only up close, as the accuracy on akimbo pistols is 'orrible.

=-=

Found the maps to be good. Nukedown is insanse with 18 players on Demolition.

Liking the spawns, as it's not all centred around the one spot where the enemy can spawn-rape you, but the spawning needs some tweaking so that you don't spawn so close to (or infront of) the enemy.

Loving the dedicated servers, and the low wait time inbetween games. Dislike that you can't change classes between games, but meh, not a big con. In MW2, you'd play 3 rounds, the host would quit, you'd get a laggy host who wouldn't f**k off, you all leave, you join another server, laggy, you leave, you join, same laggy server, you leave, you join, you get a few more games... a minute inbetween the games could turn into 10 minutes, as people leave and join, a new host is found, they leave, another host gets found... but in BO, you join. You game. Quick wait. You game. And so forth.

There's no justification for making people camp-snipe if it takes 2-3 upper body bullets to kill, but Josh Olin wont see a problem that nobody snipes because he doesn't die from them any more so looks like we're stuck with it...

Headshots kill with one bullet. Upper body shots, meh. Go play HC if you want oneshotanywhereinthebodyequalskill :P

Dislike that one of my two MW2 perks, ninja and speed, are in the spame perk cat, but meh, it just means no-one else can choose them.

Killstreaks like the rc car are not nearly as class as seeing a precision airstrike tear across a map.

The car is loltastic. Unless thee enemy is driving it, and everyone jumps on top of a bench, so that the mouse RC doesn't get them

F**KING HATE THE DOLPHIN DIVING THAT IT MAKES ME DO!!! I run to a bomb, go prone to plant. Instead, I dolphin dive on top of the bomb, and get shot when planting :mad: :rolleyes:

Aside from that, I'm liking Bops lots. Find the fact that you have to pick and choose the weapons allows people at start have different guns than someone else, if that makes sense. Also liking that I can buy a rifle, and stick a scope on it there and then.

Nuketown is a good map for certain game types! the best being Demolition! its great craic! Other than that its fairly sh!t but overall this game is such a big improvment MP wise to MW 1 and 2. I never got into them online. I just thought it got very boring very fast, and it wasn't a challenge, Any noob can camp for 5 minutes and pilot a chopper gunner after a series of kills using strikes and what not.
I have yet to be noob tubed in BLOPS. This with so much more is what killed MW. Where treyarch have fallen are the graphics,sound,SP IMO. The first modern warfare had the best SP out of the lot and was just epic. MW2 wasn't too bad but wasn't better. black ops SP is sh!te and good at the same time! I don't like the way they try to keep the gamer feeling interactive with silly pointless commands to press x numerous times! Its just silly! "Press X to Hook up" These type things are just pointless and altho yes they are in previous SP's in the series they take the biscuit in this one imo. Am I the only one who gets annoyed by this?

The black ops MP is just class. It has its problems but they will be sorted out soon. The maps are class, they win it for me. Good big maps allow for much better tactics to be implied when working in a team in a party. The guns are class and I love the system of having to buy your equipment! I heard some guy complain about this and how he "just liked the old way cause it did it for ya" as you roll up the ranks! thats BS and boring! There is so much more customization and lots more to keep you interested in this game! You don't just breeze up the ranks for your next prestige!

i hate false optimism more so. or the stacks of folk claiming they prefer it to MW2 when they don't really; sure its the new COD n all sunshine n lolliplops to some but it was always gonna be a step backward so to speak.. just i didn't expect such lack of innovation with map design my issue with the game is the maps show a lack of ideas already in the series. just compare em to WAW those maps were terrific, real back to basics stuff here with 'jungle'; a firing range n the bizarre n completely naff 'nuketown'. strikes me as an ill fitting map pack addition so i look forward to those there's a laziness here alright.. not exactly captivating my attention as it is but i'll be completely bored of it very, very soon

Wait.... who are you to decide what "folk" prefer ? Lack of innovation with the map design... in your opinion. Dont try and speak for everyone when its pretty clear that alot of people DO prefer it to MW2.

I'm gonna say COD4 is still miles ahead of both games in terms of stability, playability, structure and overall gameplay....both in single and multiplayer

I still haven't voted by the way. It's so hard to compare a game that is out a week, with one that I've played solidly for a full year.

There are huge amounts of positives for Black Ops, and the word from Treyarc is they are going to be releasing more fixes this Friday including the improvement of the sounds, such as footsteps etc. Once they fix the whole Party system and getting into games, I think my vote would go to BOps. But I do think that MW2 had a certain X factor that made it a fabulous game (when you didn't get into lobbies full of dicks who spent the whole time OMA/DC noobtubing etc). So it'll still be close.

guys maybe a bit off topic, but i just bought the standard game, am i missing any maps??

Not for the multi-player.

As a self confessed MW2 fanboy/junkie and someone who didn't like WOW/Treyarch I fully expected to play BOps for a week and then vote for MW2. Have to say I'm really enjoying BOps and can't vote against it.
