    If I loved Call of Duty 4, but was really disappointed in MW2

    Would I enjoy Black Ops? Or is Black Ops largely taking from MW2.

    Are you referring to the sp or mp portion of the game?

    I've been thinking about the same thing lately...  
     
    I've played CoD4 somewhat competitively (had a team on ESL and ClanBase with some friends) and enjoyed ProMod quite a bit (no chopper=awesome)
     
    MW2 having no dedicated server support and no "moddability" whatsoever was a huge letdown... 
    Not being able to turn off those spammy, shitty, random killstreaks was a pain to even think about.

    I'm in the same vote, I really liked 4 but I really disliked MW2.  I've said I'd never play another CoD but if it's like 4 I'll give it a chance.

    From a MP point of view it seems they have balanced and fixed up what the community ask for.

    why is there such contempt for MW2, both in regards to its singleplayer and multiplayer offerings?

    Singleplayer was fun but completely overblown. Call of Duty 4 had a believable, interesting story. Modern Warfare 2 was an everything-blows-up action movie.
     
    Multiplayer was, as well, completely overblown. Call of Duty 4 had tactical, no-bullshit gunplay with interesting things like perks and weapon addons, and the most powerful player-killing kill streak being a helicopter (and if used right bombers). Modern Warfare 2 added in nonsense like akimbo weapons, a large amount of player-killing kill streaks that were incredibly strong, perks that completely removed the tactical feel and awarded players for not even using guns, and plenty of glitchy or incredibly unbalanced crap like care-package sprinting and one man army. And then they removed any sort of server customization so you had no option of simply 'joining a different server.'
     
    It's like they thought everyone loved Call of Duty 4 because it had PERKS and KILL STREAKS when that was simply a small mix in the great flavor.

    @forestofdeath: Personaly I dont hate it but i did feel a little let down by MW2. The MP kinda felt like they had taken too many ideas from games like Halo 3  MP and made their won versions for MW2.  I don't like Halo MP so for me thats why i didn't like it as much as COD4. Also felt like it catered more to  cheaper playing styles and not much else (like sprinting and stabbing and noob-tube and army of one combos). Not saying these play styles should be ignored but should also have kept faithful to COD4 players that love the first MW feel.

    Does the question really need to be asked? It's a CoD game, you know exactly what it's gonna be like and if there is something new then that's all you'll hear about from the time the game is unveiled to the time it dies.

    Hard to say, I'm sorta in the same boat but Black Ops is not attracting me at all. Just go rent it and see for yourself.
