This is an article about how Black Ops is better than Modern Warfare 3, this is written by Kent Sobey. In this article he explain why Black Ops is better than Modern Warfare 3, he expresses his opinions about the game. I disagree on what he says but everyone has their opinions.




Stop and listen!
The first point I want to make is that this is just a comparison of the multiplayer modes and not the game as a whole because MW3 would win hands down if we included the single player.

It was damn near flawless so I’m not going to include that. (Ed: Some would argue with that…

When I first started playing MW3 online I was struck by how similar it is to MW2 in its look and feel. It’s almost identical.
Then it occurred to me that Infinity Ward was making a sequel to their previous installment in the franchise and not the last one I had purchased.

I know this may seem like a really stupid point but I think it’s important to remember. To the consumer MW3 is a sequel to Black Ops and not MW2 in terms of the order in which we played them.
What does this really mean? Well to me it means that they can’t remove features that Blacks Ops added which we all started to love – like the dive for example.

A small thing that shouldn’t really make that much difference but I was really annoyed when I first tried to dive and just ended up lying down rather rapidly. Why would you remove that, I need to get away from a chopper!
Despite being a little irritated by that, I could move on because let’s face it; it’s not the end of the world. But then, while I was running on a seemingly clear path, I got stuck on nothing. You would think that the fighting men of the world would be able to hop over a small ledge of 1 foot or a little gravel on the ground, but alas, they can’t.

Among other things…
To put it bluntly, the multiplayer maps in MW3 are rubbish. (Ed.: I love Seatown!!!)

There’s too much clutter and not enough symmetry. Not only that, but they encourage campers with a hideout in every corner and have pieces of nothing that I seem to get stuck on regularly.

The Black Ops maps were far from perfect, I’ll admit but I would pick them over these any day.

If you want to run and gun you better be amazing at the game because there will be someone hiding behind a door somewhere ready to end your MOAB streak with a shot gun prepped.

There’s nothing wrong with stopping and guarding a room for a few minutes but when you lay prone with your sight zoomed on the door and can get away with it 35 times there’s something wrong with the map.

There should always be a way to deal with that like a grenade through a window, or a back entrance but they didn’t seem to think about that much at all.

I must stop here and add that although I find many things about Modern Warfare 3 very annoying, I still love it and think there have been some amazing innovations that have come with it.

I just feel that they have lost all the good stuff that came with Black Ops to make way for the ‘new’ good stuff. Why not just have it all?
Another Example of something that’s been lost is the wager matches.

I know that they rely on a currency system in Black Ops but they could have kept them in without having that monetary system. Why not use your experience as currency? Surely they could have thought of something clever to keep them in?
And finally, what is with the spawn points in MW3?

On many occasions I have spawned and been dead within a few seconds. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN! The maps and spawn point should not allow for it. I am fully aware that sometimes it’s damn near impossible to make this dream a reality but come Black Ops did it a whole lot better than MW3 does.

I can think of several occasions that I have died and then spawned with my gun aiming at someone’s head. I didn’t even have to move to get a kill, just pull the right trigger. Now, I love getting kills but this is just ridiculous.

I can also think of an occasion that a stealth bomber has killed me twice. Yup, that’s right. It killed me on one end of the map and I spawned on the other end only to have it kill me again. I don’t think I have to tell you how annoyed I was by that.

I’ll add one more thing before I move on to the conclusion. This is admittedly a pet peeve of mine and probably just a matter of personal preference too.

Quick scoping should not have been put back in the game. There, I said it. I know that it exists in Black Ops but it’s not nearly as easy to do and frankly was only added because people moaned that it wasn’t there to begin with.
I don’t understand why people play in this way. It’s not a shotgun, you shouldn’t be running around that much with it and yes, it is cheating, even if Infinity Ward says it’s ok. And no, it’s not that hard to do; if it was then everyone wouldn’t be able to do it would they?

To sum it all up…
My conclusion from all of this and the many other things I haven’t mentioned is that Black Ops is a better game and I much preferred playing it online.

I’m not saying I’m going to go backwards and keep playing it because I do enjoy MW3 too, I just think that it’s missing a lot of the good stuff that should really be there.

I think Treyarch and Infinity Ward should probably work together a little more when making Call of Duty games. They are both owned by Activision, they both make great games and they both have amazing ideas. Now let’s see if we can get all of the amazing ideas into one game please.

Both games are absolute dogshit. Black Ops was thee worst COD I have ever played on Multiplayer. However, Zombies made it just about bareable, otherwise i'd have taken it back to the shop after a few weeks. MW3 is pretty much MW2 but shitter. They took everything that made MW2 so great out of MW3 and made it crap.

But a few points about your opinions. Why take out the dive? They didn't take out the dive. The games are only published by Activision, but they are made by Treyarch and Infinity Ward. These are 2 ENTIRELY seperate companies.

A camper who gets away with it 35 times? Well maybe that's because you're just shit at the game? Anybody normal would just storm in there with an RPG and Quickdraw or Dual FMGs

Black ops takes forever to level up

DUMB. Why would you say MW3 should have been a sequel to BO1.? Isn't that why its called MODERNWARFARE THREE.??? Not BLACKOPS 2.? and That's why BO2 is coming out sequeling BO1.. All bring ups are retarded and it's probably because you SUCK at difficult games. ( MW3>BO ) < MW2. BO is just a bunch of clay figures running around with bi bi guns.. It's too easy and is just not interesting. Zombies.? gets boring, go play spec ops on Veteran and challenge your self. INFINITYWAR > Treyarch any day of the year.

Because no fucking camper will be surviving either one of those weapons. That is how I deal with campers

that's wrong 20 prestige lvl 80 you never reach

they could edit the 12-20 prestige emblems of mw3 because it looks very awkward the weapons are also bullshit most of them arent used except Assault Rifles.If you look black ops mw2 and other old call of duties the weapons there are used more than mw3.The thing is if activision releases a new cod we actually expect more and not so much similar things and no similar things to treyarch cod series like black ops

Im pretty sure I stated that my opinion was biased but anyways lol im just saying i got banned from boosting like 4 levels and theres been people who have boosted from level 1 no prestige to prestige 20 level 80 in modern jizzfare 3.

I think all Call Of Duty's are terrible. That's why I don't mind modding them. I'm more of a battlefield person. I've liked CoD for a while but after MW3 I was done. Worst CoD out.

Honestly, I hate the MW3 maps.
