Modern Warfare 2 might have enjoyed the biggest entertainment launch of all time (Yeah, profitability!), but it didn’t please everyone. While Activision suits achieved epic boners staring at opening sales pie charts, the rest of us were sifting through a story with more holes than a sieve and a borderline broken multiplayer.
Black Ops can fix Modern Warfare’s online problems
I know it. You know it. That dude your third cousin occasionally hangs out with at parties definitely knows it. MW 2’s kill streak system is bust like Owen Wilson’s hooter. With attack helicopters soon chaining into tactical nukes, it gives certain players an unattainable advantage. In short, it’s horribly unbalanced.

While Treyarch’s last COD (World at War) pretty much just copied the blueprint set by the original Modern Warfare, we suspect Treyarch will have the sense to fix its sequel’s online mistakes. I expect the game to have dense jungle environments (Vietnam) and sunny Caribbean climates (Cuba), too. And these could potentially provide the multiplayer maps with an interesting blend of ultra tense claustrophobic locations, where sneaky stealth kills rule, complimented with some good old fashioned homicidal fun in the sun.
It’ll hopefully craft a more coherent story than MW2
Treyarch doesn’t have to pen a Pulitzer Prize-winning script. All it has to do is create a campaign that doesn’t have a story with as many holes as a sieve. I'm not saying MW2’s single-player wasn’t awesome (it was, and then some). But the confusing, logic-leaping plot was a huge letdown that no amount of Captain Price face fuzz could save.

In contrast, WaW’s story was definitely less bombastic and exciting, but at least its simple plot made more sense. Although, admittedly, it was pretty much dragged to the finish line by Kiefer Sutherland shouting loads and Gary Oldman hamming up a Ruskie accent that world curdle the Kremlin’s strongest vodka.
Still, Treyarch has a history of pulling in some heavyweight acting talent. And coupled with the potential the Cold War setting has to be emotionally jarring (Metal Gear Solid 3 is a total tear jerker), we’re hopeful Black Ops’ story will trump MW2.
