    WATCH OUT LAG HERE WE COME

                          While it may be just because there are 2 million people trying to play with different pcs and connections something definitely feels wrong the amount of lag that you see is way more then expected even when playing on a high end top of the line computer such as i am. you are not allowed to choose which wager match you decide to play and even if you do decide to there really is no reason too i can get anywhere from 4 to 5 thousand a regular mode game over the 1500 wager maximum. so while it may be cool and something new it seems unnecessary. It seems that trey-arch at it again has put too much time into working with the 360 over other consoles and the PC. 
                         
                               The kill-cams are junked and glitch almost every time i got a final kill i saw a laggy and twitchy kill-cam i heard a lot of disgruntled people talking about these things as well as the fact that all of yesterday and most of today you were unable to even join a wager match i am hoping the single player will make up for this. I know a lot of people were somewhat happy that there is an economy aspect of it. the sounds of the guns have changed some may say for the better, although on the topic of weapons i found it was annoying not to be able to have a secondary shotgun, rather being limited to having a pistol or a launcher or a special. some of the perks have returned how ever do not work the same as they had in the past for example when you have scavenger on your class unlike MW2 you no longer pick up ammo for your launcher or if you have a claymore you only get one even if you have scavenger. 
                        
                      It seems as though infinity ward thought through things more thoroughly. While treyarch has some good ideas they aren't put together in an amazing fashion. while increasing camos and options they have somewhat decreased the amount of guns, some of the fan favorites have disappeared or have been altered. the famas no longer is its 3 round burst and the mp5 and some other weapons have been changed.  
                                
                                         ALSO another very annoying and seemingly disastrous event is the fact that you go back in rank whether or not this is done on purpose which i dont see being the case i have on numerous occasions come out of a match and gone to the main menu back at level 27 and the head shots and challenges and kills that i had achieved in the last hour of play are completely gone i had specifically wrote down my challenges to make sure i was not just seeing things and after having 10 kills left for a challenge to be completed i entered a game received the challenge went through some menu's returned to the challenge list only to see that it had been wiped away to the 10 below the requirement and my rank which had gone up was back down two levels. This seems to be the most baffling ridiculousness that trey arch has not fixed or seen in the beta or in their own testing to let a game come out with so many problems after having a beta and all is upsetting to say the least i can imagine the look on people faces when this happens to them, and the members of the old infinity ward group who have been fired laughing to themselves saying wow we would of never done this. As i have played more of the Game i have seen even more horror if you check the treyarch forums and the color coded table that shows the condition of the connection for the game says its perfect which i may say from experience that this is not so. 
          
                      The combat training mode does not work or is glitched when you try and add bots to play against and then start the game they don't appear. this is the last treyarch game i will buy, I really can't believe that they are allowed to send out a game so broken. I WOULD GIVE THIS ONE LEST STAR THEN STATED ABOVE BECAUSE OF THE RECENT REVELATIONS I HAVE FOUND

      Black Ops, SP & MP 0

      I don't usually play multiplayer games online, and when I do it's typically short-lived, but when a mainstream franchise makes a 360 million dollar splash on the first day of sales it's hard to not take notice. Call of Duty: Black Ops is the latest game in the series and the second developed by Activision subsidiary Treyarch--who gained a lot of respect from gamers after World at War hit store shelves in 2008. Unlike WaW however, Treyarch's latest installement would borrow much of it's gameplay ...

      Liquid Looks At: Call of Duty Black Ops 0

        Liquid Looks At: Call of Duty Black Ops for the PC     The Numbers... Cant... Get them... out of my... HEad!    (Multiplayer review at the bottom)   I'll admittedly say that I am not a fan of the call of duty series.   After the disjointed storyline of the last addition I was expecting something similar.   However, I was impressed to find that my expectations were not met.   Treyarch did a damn good job with this one.   I believe that this game has potential to be one of the best of the...
