Black Ops is receiving a lot of hate from gamers who seemingly refuse to even try the game. Is there legit reasoning behind this hate or is this the fallout of the disappointment known as Modern Warfare 2? In what was surely one of the biggest hype campaigns of all time, we were told COD 6 would be the FPS to end all other FPS titles. Instead, come November we were met with COD 4.5 and it seemed even worse than COD 4 to many folks due to its balancing and hacking issues. Many gamers predicted MW2 would be like this, but most of their complaints and the signs they pointed out were ignored by the bigger crowds. Black Ops is selling great, don't doubt that. But it would seem that group of pre-release doubters has grown and saw fit to label Black Ops a terrible game, without even playing it.

The truth is Black Ops multiplayer does more right than it does wrong. Simply put, the game is great! With the new COD points and Wager matches in multiplayer it is clear there has been more thought put into this game than all the previous COD games combined.

From Sharpshooter where every player starts off with the same weapon and battles it out for points as everyone's weapon cycles at the same time to One in the Chamber where you get a pistol and a bullet. In One in the Chamber you must get a kill to get another bullet and there are only three lives for each person. Gun Game is another greatly designed Wager match that adds a lot of creativity to the title by challenging every player to start off with a pistol and work their way up a universal tier of weapons. Each kill you get bumps you up a notch to a new gun. They get better and better as you go but if you die you must start over.

For those who say Infinity Ward would have done a better job, simply put - you are insane. Take a look at the generic approach taken in the first Modern Warfare title and the incredibly dull follow up Modern Warfare 2 and I don't think it's hard to see that IW preferred coasting rather than setting goals for themselves and implementing additions to the COD brand.

The real issue I see with Call of Duty: Black Ops is that it should have gone even further with innovation. The problem with that is whenever gamers get used to a game, change of the formula is usually met with disdain by their fans. I think Treyarch has absolutely succeeded in bringing change to Black Ops without upsetting the style and fundamentals of the game, but rather improving it.

Just saying, Black Ops wouldn't be anywhere today without MW2 or IW. Also, please don't forget to reward me if I helped or informed you.

You have a point, if there were no exploits ever and they needed to make a FPS after COD4 then IW & MW2 would have been the epitome of FPS that is if IW wouldn't have dismantled, no lawsuit there are a lot of variables but lets be honest IW made a smoother, better visual game then 3ARC I like 3ARC and B.O. but graphics are sub par to that of MW2.

That's what I been saying all along, we are at fault also, I mean we as a community not that everyone does it. I don't, but I condone it because who am I to judge someone on if they hack a game or not that's not my problem. :y:

COD4 has been the best cod to date. It's simple yet efficient. And it supports all types of players. Rushers, campers, quickscopers, glitchers, everyone. And there wasn't anything super overpowered other then the m16 and mp5. Noob tubes weren't game changing and everything fit well together. Honestly I think if you took cod4 weapons and perks and stuff and put it in cod6 that would be the best game. I really liked mw2's maps. Or even BO guns and mw2 maps. IW servers seem superior to me. There hit detection seems a lot better also. I can actually feel the shot hitting the person so to speak. Although I like BO, if there were better servers(hit detection, lag, better fps) it would probably have been the best cod game to date...atleast for me. I'm not whining, I like the game quite a bit but cod4's simplicity just appealed to me. Basically don't fix it if it ain't broken. I actually wouldn't mind if there was a cod4 remake.

Btw I'm on my phone so there's probably tons of grammatical errors so ya...

Nobody likes change, but you got to do it to make the game better.
