    Taking Out the Trash: Black Ops Edition

    I'm going to rant, so here it goes: 
    I was a fan of Call of Duty up to Modern Warfare 2... then my love for the series died. That game murdered my love for Call of Duty, it murdered it, shit on it and handed its head to me on a silver platter and said: fuck you. I played black ops hoping the series had taken a posite turn from the Action Hero bullshit MW2 had induced on the series. It hadnt. This game is just as over the top just as frankly: fucking rediculous. I dont care that its not plausable, thats not the problem, the problem is they tell the story in a way that makes no sense they characters are so shallow they must be in highschool (like most of the games audiance, who I find more distasteful than the game itself), and the gameplay which is so... so... poor. I dont think there are worse gun sounds in a game to this date, fucking nintendo the old NES had better shooting sounds than this game. The guns are weak they feel weak and still they kill in one or two shots. The multiplayer is so imbalanced its unplayable and I am good at shooters and I was good at this game too so dont think im ranting cause im bad at it, i just have an undying hate for the series. But back to my review: graphics: 1/10 one out of ten. They're abysmaly ugly and blocky textures once again this game just looks bad and bland and reduced textures on console kill it. Gameplay: 1/10 I hate how unbalanced the guns are and how unfun this game was to play. Story: 0/10: like if tom clancy was stoned and wrote some shitty unplausable conspiracy story (TELL ME WHAT THE NUMBERS MEAN... REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT....) poor voice acting makes you feel like the actors just didnt care... so 0/10 for that. FInally done with this piece of shit. Play Mass Effect, Halo, Star Craft, Super Meat Boy, play anything but this game, its such a waste of money. Oh and theres this thing called nazi zombies... but thats less entertaining than a pile of shit.

      All must die 0

      Call of Duty: Black Ops is the seventh core Call of Duty game to be released in the past eight years, making it one of modern gaming’s most consistent franchises. And while each entry is generally solid, that ridiculously frequent release pattern is starting to dilute the overall product. Black Ops is a perfectly fine shooter, and an equally fine entry into this blockbuster series. But it also does so little that hasn’t been done to death already, making it increasingly hard to jump on t...

      Scripted bore. 0

      Everything in the solo campaign is scripted.  If you move up too fast, you can actually shoot enemies and they won't die because they aren't "valid" because their script hasn't started.  In that same theme, enemies will spawn in certain areas to supposedly make a tense event.  Sure is amazing how many guys hide behind a door even thou you can see that its clear until you walk thru.  The CoD series is no longer exciting.  You can see scripted events coming up, you can even guess what will happen ...
