Thoughts on the visual and auditory aspect of CoD Black Ops PC version (applies to Wii, XBOX, PS3):
The engine, graphics and sound are inferior to Modern Warfare 1 and 2. If you say otherwise, you clearly do not know what you are talking about. Image quality and sound quality are not a matter of "opinion." This is an upgrade from World at War, but I assure you that it is equally as deserving in terms of earning 6 stars out of 10. For every positive thing you can say about the game, those positives are offset by the negatives. You cannot enjoy the additional features and efforts made when the sound and video is so poor it ruins the game. Within 2 hours of playing I happily returned to MW2. I took the school off for this, and I would rather have fun playing Mw2, than force myself to play Black ops.
EDIT: I disgress, and I take back my comments about the graphics of Black Ops. The single player campaign graphics are stunning. On-par to beyond MW2's graphics. The details on the single player guns are incredible, the HDR and motion blur and explosions set in the huge expansive maps are just.. stunning. The sound had incredible bass, explosions sounded off everywhere while I was in one of the buildings before killing Castro made my jump couple heartbeats. The story so far has been great, hooked me onto the single player more than MW2 did, so it's a plus. I'll be playing more tomorrow. But to end this, wow, single player, incredible. Graphics 10/10. Sound 10/10.
What the hell is up with the multiplayer? The results just don't stack up to me. The multiplayer is a CPU cycle whore, with the graphics being BELOW W@W, guns and sound and everything is just plain shit.
I am truly stunned. :angel:

What is the problem ?
Boosters - No .
Hacks - No .
Commando lunge - No .
Game breaking glitches - No .
Insane killstreaks - No
i could go on and on ...
Boosters - On the PC, to offset boosters, there are no longer party plays. Their solution to a minor problem was to remove a function all together. I don't call that intelligent design. I do hope they bring back party play, it's a bummer really.
Hacks - No hacks, said on NGU. Really? Any game will get hacked. The PSP 3000 was said to be unhackable, true, it was hack-free for almost 1.5 years. Still, it got hacked. There is nothing hackers cannot do if you give them time.
Commando Lunge - Good point. Although Commando was fun sometimes. But the knife range is still pretty crazy. Give it a test.
Game-breaking Glitches - And you were refering to what kind? I don't remember MW2 having any either. Even that, they were promptly nerfed, so what's your point?
Insane Killstreaks - You kidding bro? 9th killstreak Chopper Gunner has earned me 20 kills every game. I cannot imagine the immensity of the 11th gunner killstreak. It's pretty insane in my opinion.
TL
R Mixed bags. Multiplayer a dissapointment. But Singleplayer was the after-dinner mint that washed away the bad aftertaste of MP.
