(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok so according to many sources, compared to the Mw2 single-player the Black Ops single-player will be a little short with 14 mission compared to Mw2 with 19(including the museum), however, Treyarch has proven already that they can give a very good story, looking at WAW.

With only 14 missions, do you think that Treyarch can construct a good story?

Do you think the missions will be longer or do you think single-player will be overlooked in another CoD game?

how many missions doesnt matter, its all about how long they are 14, missions can be 28 mission mw wise, if they are long

The missions in WaW to me seemed a little longer than the missions in Mw2.. Hopefully with only 14 missions they've made each level long,

Unsure.....
I have a feeling it going to be short like MW2 , maybe even shorter. Average and short with no real story.

You must be stupid, thinking there's no story after seeing trailers and such. If you think it'll be like that, don't get it. One person judging it wrong isn't gonna make the slightest difference when everybody else is enjoying the game

Thanks for calling me stupid when it my opinion

I seen alot of shooters saying they will have a good story. When it a gentric mess of one which is often not looked into much. Just hangs around you moving you forward by saying oh we must go here etc

A story to me is not just being told where to go but explains the actions etc.
It very unlikely that black ops will have that i may be wrong it has a good story which is above the average FPS.

"Nation B attacked us or this group did"

I understand a shooter is unlikely to have that. So long it makes sense and not over the top and crazy am fine with it.

Do hope trey use a different method of story telling to the normal for shooters. Trey could have a shot if they do to make a real mark on the FPS genre.
If not i feel the story will be none even if it there pushing you along.

Your right on one person judging it not going to make a difference. But your wrong in saying that one person view is wrong.

Does that explain what i mean by no story ?

No Call Of Duty game has been like that. The trailers and gameplay actually shows how versatile the game is, not just taking orders, but very cinematic and rich.
Infact in the very recent (today I think) interview (bonus round, part 1 of 4) they actually say they have a section before a mission like a weapons room, and you don't just pick what you want you look for what you want, and how you want it (silencers, grenade launchers etc)

Even MW2 which was quite a poor story mode had more than 'go here, do this' in it. The developers of BO have actually said that they aren't doing this, nor are they doing all action packed shoot outs like on MW2, they have very stealthy situations and scenario's, so it's not just 'go here do this' it sounds very strategical.

Its you're*
So you're saying my opinion of your opinion of being wrong, is wrong. Do you not see the hypocrisy in that?
Also, I said it's wrong out of...let's say internet stubbornness, but the fact that you think the game will be rubbish despite the total change of the way the single player is made, you still think it'll be the same. That is ignorance from the information that is given to us.
I thought MW2 story would be bad, and it was.
Hopefully i'm right about this being good, because I haven't been wrong about guessing the scale of the game yet.

Don't think the game going to be rubbish just nothing special average shooter stuff.

We see what black ops can do , if it not like a normal shooter offline then well done trey for breaking the standard and doing something which is special.

Am still not 100% sure they will , why change Winky Winky
But am willing to wait and see , not judge the game till i play it.
My first post was on what logical in my head i can see going to happen. A guess but that all i can do right now like you can.

Could you pm me the link to that video please, wish to see it Smile
