Impressions?

Compared to MW2, the graphics are far superior.  The overall game set-up/install was super fast.  The 23mb instant update was a little weird.  The maps I played were huge and so detailed I found myself standing still and looking around at all the tiny details, which of course got me killed.

my sister bought for me but she isnt giong to give it to me until xmas :(

Glad not only one that found that out, so annoying, i just mute in game now, hit select button then go down player by playing & hit Square to mute people don’t do it in the match server room to much hassle.

 

I love the game, think its feel more like a combat/army game when you playing it, some of the detail as well is stunning, I myself was blown away by the little tiny map Nuke Town is it? & the detail on it, Everyone in game was rushing around and you think well I know COD/MW2 set up so cam get grips with this game easy, nope. The speed of combat combined with the new dive system and all the upgrades on weapons & perks takes a good few matches getting use to it all for me anyway. Then played bit of TDM after that on Jungle & again you get that feel that the people spent time on map, bamboo sticks as ladders for example is just a real nice touch.

 

Think the idea of buying killstreak, tag, perks, etc. Is a very cool idea. So many different things to do & buy its very unlimited in that sense you factor in the maps & you can change how you players looks like, its just alot of fun.

 

Wager matches though steal the show imo. 4 different game modes but you put forward X amount of your own COD Points into a pot with 5 or 6 other gamers & top 3 cut the money between themselves the bottom 2 or 3 gets left out in cold & get no money, the Gun Game is my favs out of the 4 modes, 20 guns to go through, each kill you upgrade to the next weapon & so on & if you get knifed you downgrade a weapon, first one to go through all 20 guns is the winner. Its get pretty intense when you have to keep checking the scores to try & keep up with the pace early starters of match. First time did it put forward 1000 of my COD Points and lost out on 3rd spot by 1 kill, so lost 1000 COD points & had to earn it all back then tried again and did the gun game and it started really badly & i mean really badly but came from out of nowhere to nick 3rd spot & earned COD 1200 Points & went to the shop & brought the Ghost perk with it.

 

On the whole still trying out the game but on whole my first thought is that imo its fantastic.

I felt like the gameplay, movement and weapons were more realistic than MW2.  Hip fire seems more accurate for good or bad.  A lot of guys I saw last night would start firing and then dial in on the target, which is stupid.  Drop shots aren't going to be as easy for the little kids who always thrashed me that way; when you hit the deck, your dude actually bounces and takes a second to line up down his sights.  Just like in real combat.  Pretty cool. Getting out a grenade and throwing it seemed to be way off compared to MW2.  I don't know if it's more realistic timing now or what, but by the time I could toss it and it blew, the dude was long gone.  This is more for clearing rooms or getting a sneaky Pete behind cover than out in the open now. Earning cash to buy equipment is pretty cool, but will take some figuring out and discussion.  I think the changes to the maps, movement and weapons makes teamwork more important in the team modes.  Muting people is a pain in the ass because it's now a multi-step process.  Thankfully everyone was so focused on the game they were running their mouths... yet. I played for a couple hours.  Overall, I'm pretty pleased with it.   BTW - I got a care package with the RC car in it and immediately blew my stupid ass up with it.  LOL - big fun.

so what would you give this game and mw2? (1/10) when i played mw2 i wasn't that into it. but hearing seph like it(seph didnt like mw2) i might pick it up. and is it good for clan matches?(like mw2)  

googled about Black Ops to see if it was worth the money and alot of people didnt like it that much they complain about graphics and maps. Seems like many ppl are trading it in lol
Sorry Call of Duty i wont buy you this time lol

graphics SUCK im buying MEDAL OF HONOR, and also save for RESISTANCE 3 & KILLZONE 3. BEAT THAT SUCKAAAA

Never been so Disappointed of a Call of Duty Game b4......

All i want is the Classic COD4 gameplay style back, Run & Gun!! Was so much Fun :) MW2 could of been alot better if it didn't have stupid perks in it (Commando, 1 man army, danger close etc...) & Death Streaks -_-

I Was really hoping Black Ops would be alot more like COD4 but sadly nothing like it. Looks like they tryed to Slap MW2 & World at War togethere & Failed...... (MW2 Weapons & WaW Style Gameplay/Maps).. Looks like they made the movement more... Realistic i suppose? meh i'm gona miss doin 180 dropshots :( lol

Snipers are useless, Assault Rifle's have been Nearfed? & SMG's Will rule this game like in WaW -_-

& 1 more thing...... Aim Assist... its been toned up, Why!? I Walk past a guy who's hiding in a Bush & my Crosshair Automacticly locks on :/

Well i'm defo not gona get past my 3.43 K/D on Black Ops :L atleast it's above 2.00 ^^

i actually heard it being compared to MAG today, i really wasn't expecting that! O.o

I played it for a solid 12 hours yesterday and my eyes hurt today :)

I have thought about it and came to the conclusion that I like it coz it feels like World at War and I love that game. Its a very very different from the MW games but I will enjoy black ops for the next year and then I'll be ready for MW3 :)

Well I like the game, I don't see people's reasoning as to why it's bad. 

Its growing on me, But the crisp lookin down the barrel is gone on my tv!! And when i kill a guy in Dominnation he kills me from behind in ca10 sec... really strange respawns.. impossible to be tactical.  Its a run around kill game..
