True. It sounds like Treyarch seems to listen to the community. All sources are indicating this could be the best one of the series.

I think they do.

They had a poll about the quick scoping topic a few weeks ago and basically said they wanted opinions on it.

I've seen people involved in the game ask for opinions on their message board on a couple of occasions.

To be honest, MW2 was my first COD game and IW really left a bad taste in my mouth with some of the garbage they let fly. I bet you could still go to their leader boards and find thousands upon thousands of blatant cheaters.

Here's to hoping Black Ops is better.

My wife just picked up Black Ops for PS3 for my son at Best Buy. He is going to be damn happy when he gets home from school.

My copy just got here from UPS.

Sucks I can't check it out right now.

Likely going to have to wait a few days before I can really get into it.

I got it and I can say I love it!

My only negative of the game is that it seems like some guns are glitched. The MP5K is the most powerful gun on Black Ops. Doesn't seem right to me. The FAMAS automatic sucks, and that is just my only dissapointment of the game.

Otherwise COD fans MUST get this!

I made the mistake of getting it on PS3, anyone got it for 360 and don't mind trading? :(

I have two friends with PS3 and it turn out the majority of my friends that play have 360.

It's better than MW2 (My first CoD or multiplayer FPS as well - and my favorite game until now), if you ask me.

There are a few things I don't like, which will happen with every game, but the fact that they seemingly have taken out all the really stupid things from MW2 is awesome.

No more people running around with one man army, or scavenger, and noob-tubing people the whole game as their primary weapon.

No more lightweight, marathon, comando pro morons running around, running through loads of bullets and claymores, to knife folks.

No more stupid quick scoping for the idiots who want to run and gun, but suck at if they can't use a one shot one kill weapon.

No more danger close making those explosions from grenades and tubes ridiculous.

Absolutely, completely, and totally a better experience, online, than MW2 has ever been, IMO.

And I still love MW2. I just don't miss all those stupid little game styles that people used cause they couldn't really play worth a crap.

I personally like the maps much more on Black Ops as well, for the most part. Now there are still some MW2 maps that I just loved way more than anything on Black Ops, but over all I like the selection on Ops better. There are no maps, thus far anyway, on Ops that I just absolutely loath the way I do Derail and Wasteland on MW2.

The only one I currently can't stand, and it has nothing to do with the map itself, is Nuke Town.

The only reasons I don't like it are because the respawn, till they patch this problem, is awful on that map. Nothing sucks more than having the ENTIRE enemy team suddenly spawn 2 feet BEHIND you. That's just awful.

That and the fact that cause it's such a small map, and games are so quick and intense, I've found that we often get stuck playing this map 4-8 times, in a row, once it comes up.

I don't like playing any map, on any game, that many consecutive times.



Beyond that...where were all my Cowboyszone brethern last night? I was on from 9pm last night till nearly 4 this morning, waiting to play with anyone and everyone, and no one showed up that I saw.

The only person I've played Black Ops with, from here, so far is Chet Bigguns and we played MW2 all the time too.

We've got to start getting folks together and having some fun. I guess that will be easier once their first patch comes out and they fix the problem of it being nearly impossible to get into a game when you're part gets to 4-6 people. A party with 3 or less is pretty easy to get into games but once you get that 4th person it is hard as heck to get into a darn game.

Great review! If you have a PS3 then feel free to add me: COWBOYS_88_

People like Nuketown because the game goes by fast and it is pretty easy to get at least 1 kill, but after a while it does get annoying.

My favorite maps are Radiation, Launch, Firing Range, Nuketown, and the one that takes place in the snow (I forgot the name).

Black Ops= 10/10

BEST SHOOTER OF ALL TIME. period.

If you guys have Xbox and want to add me im always on Black Ops. GT is Garbz410. Just hit me up.

My quick thoughts on Black Ops:

Love the gameplay so far, its definately a fun game without the noob tube OMA and the L/M/C guys running around. I have had a couple people abuse the tubes so far in about the 200-300 matches i've played, but that's not bad at all, and no danger close or OMA makes it tolerable. The perks are set up quite nicely to give the game good balance. Glad they improved on that from MW2.

As for things other than the gameplay, i think MW2 definately had better graphics. I was a bit disappointed, although the graphics in BO arn't that much worse, i was just expecting better than MW2 obviuosly since this is a newer game. It doesn't take away from the experience during gameplay much however, so i can live with it.

Also, for as much hype as the new stat keeping stuff got, it seems like treyarch isn't very prepared for this game coming out. Some of the stats are completely random and incorrect and it really takes away from all the hype they put into having all your stats kept for so many different things.

The theater mode as well is a bit of a letdown, as it only seems to keep certain games in your recent games queue, not all of them. I have about 90 friends on XBL and pretty much everyone that i've talked to is having the same issue. I also haven't figured out how to watch them on the BO website, and it seems the website is having alot of support issues as well. I can't even sign into it some days.

The last issue i have is the biggest though and that's the incredibly awful matchmaking system. It seems as though they weren't at all prepared for when the game came out and the number of people that would be playing, as the servers are often too busy for you to even get in a game. It takes my friends and i 15 to 20 minutes sometimes to find a game with a 5 or 6 person party. Its unreal how treyarch could hype this game so much and then seem completely unprepared for its launch.

Im sure they will patch this problem soon though, and other than that this is a great game. The gameplay is the best i'vfe seen in a FPS, although i was a big fan of WaW too because it was fair and balanced. Treyarch needs to get a patch out soon for a few of these issues and after that it will be an amazing game. Hit me up if you're online guys.

I'll be sending a friend request to the couple of 360 players up there that I don't have on my list.

DBraveHeartFan is the gamertag that the friend request will be coming from.

I have SStudly, added him for MW2, but we've never had the chance to play.
