Is Black Ops Worth Buying?

**RollPlayer** · 11-09-10, 10:33 PM

I would pass unless you love Nazi zombies. This one is made by Treyarch (World at War and COD 3) and really just isnt anywhere near as good as Modern Warfare 1 or 2. If I could do it again I would pass

**Dank_Fire** · 11-09-10, 11:17 PM

My friend said the campaign was too short. I think he said he beat it on hard in like 5 hrs

**stealthyburrito** · 11-09-10, 11:19 PM

no, not a big cod fan myself but a few of my friends are and they feel it is a letdown game.

wait for the next one sunde.

**Full Time Hobo** · 11-09-10, 11:22 PM

Biggest thing will be Zombies.

Rent it or borrow it from someone if you dont know-

Im not a huge COD fan myself but will probably buy it anyways just to play online with some friends.

Around here the price is sometimes jacked up because of new games. if thats the case in your area too then wait for sure if youre going to buy it at all

I've played about 14 hours on PC Sunde and have racked up a lot of hours on all the previous games.
It's really more of the same with a few additions I'm sure you've heard about.
If you like the COD games, buy it, you will at least get your money's worth.
The campaign is a bit confusing but they put a fair bit of effort into it and zombie mode is just as fun as it was in world at war.

**brooks85** · 11-09-10, 11:27 PM

i got it through gamefly. Its fun but it never last so im glad I can send it back.

**Sunde91** · 11-09-10, 11:34 PM

Thanks.

Going with pass for now.

It's still rated really high at 92% aggregate from GameRanking (MW2 was 94%), but probably inflated from reputation.

Gameplay doesn't look that great on youtube. Rollplayer, good pointing out different developer.

**the_situation** · 11-09-10, 11:37 PM

Awesome game...zombies is sick with friends, online is awesome and the campaign is the best yet. I would get it if your a huge COD fan.

**Carseller4** · 11-10-10, 12:03 AM

My sons like it so far.

**samgurt** · 11-10-10, 12:12 AM

it's a good game but basically the same as every other COD

**WeinketoWarrick** · 11-10-10, 12:19 AM

Bought it tonight, kind of regretting it already. Hopefully it's just that I'm not used to it and it needs to grow me. I pwn noobs hardcore on MW2.

**illmatick** · 11-10-10, 12:21 AM

still waiting for my copy

**B1GER1C828** · 11-10-10, 12:34 AM

my buddy said it was pretty good but not as good as the MW's

**mrmarket** · 11-10-10, 12:40 AM

You should buy it. Worst comes to worst just trade it in after you play for a refund or store credit which you can put towards CODMW3 when it comes out.

**sjm5122** · 11-10-10, 12:46 AM

I've had it for the past 24 hours and it does have some cool new additions, but I have the feeling that in a few weeks I will go back to playing MW2

**Poker_Beast** · 11-10-10, 01:04 AM

My copy came today but no time to try it yet

**samgurt** · 11-10-10, 02:38 AM

I just found out that you can play split-screen online now! So I like this game now that I can play with my roommate now. Other than that it's just like all the other CODs

**Riv34** · 11-10-10, 02:49 AM

friends said its not too great

**Domer** · 11-10-10, 05:21 AM

i dont think ive ever played a single call of duty campaign, i just play multiplayer....but apparently in this one, the ending is pretty damn cool (involving dead Presidents fighting zombies). i might have to play it for that. the multiplayer id say is just not quite on MW2s level. its a little bit laggier, the graphics aren't quite as crisp, and the maps are a little boring. they took stopping power out which is a huge bummer. but there is a crapload of customization and there are about 2 million people playing this at any given time on xbox live, so eh...id tepidly recommend it. an okay call of duty game will still be the best game of the year.

**MEATHEAD** · 11-10-10, 10:28 AM

Wait till the price comes down.

**BonziWells** · 11-10-10, 10:31 AM

I just play it for the online aspect. which is pretty sick with your friends.

**PorkChop** · 11-10-10, 10:39 AM

Not if you can gamble with the money you'd spend to buy it.

Hahaha...

I haven't played Xbox in about 4 months, but decided to break out COD MW2 a week or 2 ago, and have played it about 5 times. Now I'm still trying to decide whether to get rid of my xbox and wii, and pick up a new xbox with kinect.

**Double Bogey** · 11-10-10, 10:51 AM

It's a good game, but the multiplayer lobby crashes constantly when trying to find games. Really annoying

**doublej95** · 11-10-10, 11:09 AM

I'd you like cod4 then you will like black ops. If you are a pathetic gamer and need noob tubes and commando pro, and all the other cheap tactics to get kills than stick to MW2.

**drew17** · 11-10-10, 11:34 AM

awesome game. 10/10

Ahh, you're one of those.

**stlblues** · 11-10-10, 11:58 AM

far and away better than call of duty world at war.

One of those what's? A good gamer that doesn't need cheap shit to be decent. MW2 was made for everyone to have a chance to be good. If you don't have a 2?)/1 kdr in that game then you absolutely suck at gaming.

**SRBI** · 11-10-10, 01:12 PM

Medal of Honor on the 360 FTW.

**HoulihansTX** · 11-10-10, 01:19 PM

Modern Warfare or bust.

The developer, Activision, is garbage IMO.

Infinity Ward is the superior developer, and the Modern Warfare series is proof.

**doublej95** · 11-10-10, 01:52 PM

To bad they kicked infinity Ward to the curb
