Re: Is BlackOps Really That Bad To People?

Call of Duty 2 was the best out of all of them but as far as modern warfare goes the original was the best. I hated black ops because the first 2 weeks after release on pc it was close to unplayable due to retarded lag spikes. If that wasn't enough it was just a pretty bad gameplay wise aswell. It just seemed way to slow compared to other cod games. Between cod:waw and black ops(both made by treyarch) I won't be buying another call of duty game.

Hell yeah CoD2 all the way, and it was the only CoD game I actually beat (CoD3 too, but I just rented and beat it, it was alright compared to 2). It was the best because WW2 was where it's at.

Re: Is BlackOps Really That Bad To People?

people who call themselves hardcore gamers and play cod and halo3 errday are posers just sayin

If you look at MLG and all the effort that goes into that corporation .. I strongly disagree.


As for the COD franchise. I prefer MW2 to BlackOps, better maps and more variety.

Black Ops isn't a bad game, it just forces a completely different play style. MW2 was extremely fast paced, and it definitely allowed a lot of rushing, which is what most people did (including all the quickscope junkies). Black Ops is the way it is because of how the community complained of all the flaws in MW2, overpowered guns, smg's with unrealistic range, too many quickscoper's, etc etc. It's definitely a lot more fair now, but the pace is a lot slower. No rushing, reckless tears, forces defensive play. That's it.

In the end it comes down to preference but even on my friends' i7 with a 480GTX it lags like shit. They should refund everybody who bought the game on PC cause it's unplayable on most hardware =/

Re: Is BlackOps Really That Bad To People?

i could write essays on everything that black ops does wrong

starting with the excessive use of scripted events

and ending with an all-caps conclusion demonizing Activision's questionable business practices

Re: Is BlackOps Really That Bad To People?

Honestly I'd take Halo 3, Skate 3 or Crysis 2 over any COD.

This is what I believe to be true. I never played a Call of Duty before Black Ops, but I can't sit through the story mode all the way, and zombies got old (although they DID improve it, Kino Der Toten is a near perfect map for zombies, Ascension is just overkill 9000.)

I only play multiplayer, and tactical games. Some of the maps are terrible, some are really good.

What I notice from a lot of my friends is that they'll only use assault rifles and SMGs. I made a SMG class, an assault rifle class, a shotgun class (which is beast as **** ghost, steady aim, and ninja all pro,) an LMG class, a sniper class, and then my 6th class is what I use to do contracts when they ask for a specific gun/attachment/perk. Whenever I die, I switch to the next class on the list. I believe THIS is how you keep the game fun. If you're running around with assault rifles owning everybody all the time it would get old quick.

I try and stay away from FPS games in general.

I think that's a pretty terrible policy. You're going to be missing out on some pretty amazing games, like;

Bioshock - Remains the number one in my library for best environment and best story telling.
The Half Life series
Portal - Kind of doesn't count anyways.
Borderlands

Sure, a lot of the FPS games being released nowadays can be generic and redundant, but just as many of them are truly great games. When a genre is popular, more games in that genre are going to be developed, and more of those games are going to be copies of successful games in that genre. There's no reason to stay away from a genre just because it seems to be the most prominent at the time.

Re: Is BlackOps Really That Bad To People?

I love first person shooters, but you gotta note that there will always be haters of any game. My opinion of why Black Ops didn't live up to my expectations is that compared to MW2, the multiplayer is far worse. The only decent game type in Black Ops was TDM and that can be found in practically any shooter that has multiplayer.

black ops pretty much got shit on on the PC. GG Treyarch, RIP 35 pounds.

Well, if you don't like FPS games, you don't like FPS games. I found them to be stupid until I was about 15.

Re: Is BlackOps Really That Bad To People?

FPS is such a broad term to determine a game. First off, CoD is more of a FPS Simulator, where as games that ninjaKIWI named are more of FPS Adventures. Big difference, and they have two completely different crowds.

BlackOps is just another FPS Simulator game sure. But just because it's another FPS doesn't make it a terrible game, it all depends on preference. If you like typical FPS' then you'll be content with CoD. But what makes BlackOps a bad game isn't the fact that it's a generic FPS; it's that it has a terrible story, and the multiplayer is more bugged out that MW2's.

Re: Is BlackOps Really That Bad To People?

Honestly the only game type i can enjoy in BlackOps is SnD. In MW2 i was fine playing anything but domination, really, and i didn't mind quickscopers or rushers or anything, most were pretty bad when you faced them with a gun you could actually use, or tacknifed (which i really miss). Also, riot shields. Practically the most fun weapon in that game, and they simply removed it. It actually took skill to use, despite what people say, and was pretty easy to get around if you weren't a tard (use an lmg, stick em, jump shot, etc). The only thing i really don't miss from MW2 is the copious amounts of modded weapons. I enjoy using the FAL personally, but when everybody bitches at every kill you get because you MUST be modding, it gets ****ing annoying. So far i haven't seen much of it in BlackOps, so i have a better time with the FAL in it. Even though i only really enjoy the one game type in BlackOps, i must say i love the ability to customize all the tiny shit like what color your dots are and what they look like. Teal triple dot with yellow lens > bland red dot imo.

Re: Is BlackOps Really That Bad To People?

blops sucks but i play it because it ranks by gametype. like im in the top 50k for domination overall, but i have been in the top 500 for a little. its hard to get up there, wish someone noticed me :<
