It's a creative industry – the most creative form of entertainment in existence. Too many developers who try new things are getting burned by "pundits" and angry entitled fans who look to be contrarian, sometimes simply for the sake of being contrarian.

The only thing this attitude aims to achieve is stunt that creativity and innovation even further, which is something that no rational gamer looking to be entertained would want to do.


The latest installment in the Call of Duty franchise, Black Ops, has come under much criticism for being slow-paced. And today's map pack innovations have been attacked for having a detrimental effect on the flow of the game. The developers are unsure of the way forward.

Black ops is fun. Maybe if people here would actually play a game legit you might see it. The game isn't fun to you because you suck at it.

Personally, I still like MW2 better because I always liked sniping, and BO sucks for it. However, I hate what's happened to MW2 so now I play neither >.<

1. the game is horrible, not creative at all. they just switched around the perk system and took away the exp point unlock system and put in the cod point unlock system.

2. challenges mean nothing in this game cause of the cod points.
2.1 cod points were introduced to diminish boosters...but people get banned daily cause they still use the TAC INSERTION that they have yet to remove from the game to boost...go figure?

3. they know ghost/cold blooded/camo/uav jammer should be an unlocked perk at mid level cap, but instead you get it at level 4 for 2000 cod points which you can get an easy 4000 cod points in one game of hq.
3.1 same with second chance, and second chance is bs. we all know it!

4. hit detection is horrible along with the lag and connection in the game. they refuse to fix the real problems in the game and want to keep patching guns that are thought to be 'over powered' when they aren't.


5. THE GAME REALLLY FRIGGING SUCKS!!
