Not used to recoil? As of right now, BO is very balanced and very fun. Why anyone would return to MW2, I'll never understand. I would rather shoot myself in the foot than go back to MW2.
Completely Agreed. The game has been balanced so there is a sense of balance. Guns have recoil, killstreaks aren't overpowered and no quickscopes; just like in real life. Isn't that the goal in video games? Realism. I mean can you imagine trying to 360 quickscope in the army? Yeah.
game play looks good ... but for me the graphics look like I was playing on the f!@#$ wii.... or like playing a 4-5 year old game.... notice the non strait white border on all the objects when you move on a 1080p tv.... then put your MW2 game and notice how bad ass it looks!....
we r all f!@#ng geeks so at the house we set our gaming stations according to the chart so we can enjoy the hell out of our games and take advantage of our tv's.... so if we sit at a distance where our eyes can only see 720p on our 1080p tvz then the game doesn't look that bad... but for me that is F$#@" BullSh1T!
I dislike BO, I have tried giving it a chance more than once. The spawns are horrible, everyone is camping cuz their afraid to ruin their KDR, the graphics suck, there is major lag, it takes sometimes 2 minutes to find a FFA game, quickscoping is pretty much gone, its almost impossible to use a sniper and have fun in the game.
I was going to let this thread move onto a discussion, but it seems like everyone is going off-topic and lashing each other out, so I'll say my piece and let everyone decided and discuss further on:
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.
