Call of Duty: Black Ops

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

There are several things I LIKE about the game but here a few that I don't which really puts a hamper on it:

Subpar Graphics Compared to MW2


MW2 was the first multiplayer shooting game I've played, granted, but this game engine was not utilized as Black Ops looks a little more "arcadey" than MW2.

• Player specifics such as the hands, "knifing animation" aren't as prestine
• Nuketown in a lot of ways seems cartoony (especially the manakin things)
• "Explosions" in MW2 was more realistic
  • Cars blew up (not as much on BO -- the buses on Nuketown do nothing)
• Difficult to see claymore mines (it's a lot easier to see enemy claymores)

Shooting Subpar to MW2


I feel that the shooting system was a lot better in MW2 because when stopping power was removed, assault rifles were powerful and good for close/medium range, machine guns for close combat and sniping was great. But...

• Assault rifles in a lot of ways seem useless. LMGs/SMGs have more accuracy and are simply a better gun in all phases.
• Additionally, I have a 49" plasma TV that I sit 5 feet away from yet I can't see an enemy to shoot him 30 feet away. (such as the space between houses in Nuketown).
• Long shots are extremly difficult (not even mentioning sniping)

I haven't played Zombies or the single player as I tapped right into the MP and played about 4 HRs last nite. I know some probably think it's because I'm horrible (I now have a 1.11 K/D ratio) but it's my honest feelings. If Treyarch took everything that IS MW2 and made the improvements that it desired, this game would be a 10/10 and miles over Red Dead Redemption.

This is my humble opinion, take it for what it's worth.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

but the starting weapons should be some of the best weapons in the game, and in my opinion the M16 is terrible.

Hell no ! If everybody started off with the best weapon for every class then what would be the point of playing it ? Unlocking stuff is what makes it fun. You want to see what it is like to have people with the best weapons at start ? Play Medal of Honor with the 100s of people who have the Gamestop pre-order tier 1 weapons unlocked for them.

Got a map full of noobs walking around with m60s shooting at the dirt and walls just because, yelling yippeeeeeeeee kye yeah......

Plus M-16 with Acog scope = all you need

Zombies = don't waste your time.......That mode is LAME, they don't even look like zombies, not scarey looking at all, they all look like a bunch of drunks stumbling around with a spawn halloween costume on.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Who here all agrees that this game makes sniper class obsolete ???????

I mean with the money system, you can put a scope on ANY gun in the game except for the shotguns. So it is like why even bother using a sniper rifle ?

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Just had a 20/7 game

And I completely agree with NOT having the best guns to start off... that wouldn't make sense at all.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

At some point, I think I'll get either Black Ops or Modern Warfare 2. Which does everyone suggest? I haven't played the franchise since Call of Duty 2 when the 360 first came out. Thanks.

Black Ops, and it's not even close IMO.

Why would you buy an inferior product? If you want to play online Black Ops for sure too...community will be larger for some time to come. MW2 was hackers paradise.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

What is wrong with the M16? I like using it, it is accurate. It sucks in close quarters but it is great as a mid to long range gun.

[Fresh Tendrils]

Anybody sniping anywhere? All I've been using are SMGs.

Great gun at a distance... sucks balls close range because of the burst firing. I think skillz was just saying that you don't really need a sniper because you can just throw a scope on the 16 and be good to go.

Pretty much. And it makes it boring when all it comes down to is everyone using SMG's or assault rifles. Basically everyone is the same. Its dumb...and i hate it. Aggravates me to no end.

I use sniper rifles and its like whats the point. Actually there's no point to shotguns either in this game.

I've tried on Jungle... but sniping is just pointless now. By the time you get your scope aligned and you've breathed in, you're dead. Besides, these maps are just too small and too tight to be using snipers.

--------------------

Anyway I'm loving this game, but after going onto the CoD forums, I don't seem to be the only one complaining about this but, the knifing is ridiculous in this game. I swear it seems like it's worse than commando. The thing that pisses me off is that my knife never lunges at the enemy even when I'm looking at them... come to think of it, my knife rarely hits anybody in any CoD game I've played.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

It's funny putting this in after playing 2 months of Halo. Rat-A-Tat...I'm dead. I guess I shouldn't run through the streets of Havana like I do in the Asylum.
