black ops doesn't look that same old shit to me as more and more info reveals
but dude, this alone won't undo all the stuffs that makes me hate Kotick and the Asstivision Blizzard under his control
 
so I guess the only way for me is to buy it second hand then :/

Sorry, but CoD is not a realistic shooter. You're telling me that people in the cold war ran around with clown ass facepaint and dice on their guns? yeah right.

It's more so aimed at Activision.

Has there been any word on buying in game currency with real money? This is Activision after all and even EA pull that crap with some of their games which unlock everything.

I  personally think its really dumb to have any deep level of customization like this in a FPS. The main reason being, you are moving so fast and you are shooting people from a distance most times, you are not going to be able to see their clan tag on their gun let alone make out what it looks like. Also with this purchase system, it seems like the people who play this game religiously are going to have the upper hand because they will have access to better weapons and such. Maybe its balanced but I bet not

@baconbits33: Yeah, a reality with gun-horses, golden guns, instantly appearing dogs and airplanes in a game where people respawn instantly after being blown up and repeatedly shot by guns that don't recoil. :P

I'm probably still not buying this, mainly because I'm terrible at COD, but it looks like Treyarch has really stepped up their game.

When I first heard about MW2 and all the commotion about the game -- especially for us PC gamers. I knew I wasn't gonna purchase that game. But Black Ops? Dude! I'm fucking psyched for this release!

Fuck the haters. This game has bot support and character customization. That's all I ask out of my FPS game besides a level editor of some kind. (TimeSplitters!)  
Two out of three features I always look for? Sounds like a purchase, at least at the local pawn shop.

I wonder if you have actual specific customization. All I see (apart from the weapon customization) is facepaint. It seems that the appearance of the character is changed based on the perks.

This looks pretty damn good to me.  I'm not sure if it will be a day one purchase, but certainly something to consider if its the only viable FPS on the market with the exception of Reach.  MOH is still an unknown quantity.

I don't know why I really don't care much for Black Ops. Maybe my opinion will change when I play it.

Maybe it'll solve some problems, like, how am I supposed to earn experience with the Ak-47 when it's earned on the last level anyway?

Cool customization, doesn't change the fact that the last hugely hyped game in the series ruined how  felt about the series as a whole... 
 
Well, at least Treyarch makes the good games. With Halo: Reach and Black Ops this year, its gonna be an amazing holiday.

My favorite part was when 2 players ran into the room and both got gunned down in no time with wild SMG spray.  Looks like i'm staying miles away from this one.

I really hope when I play this game, it doesn't remind me of any previous Treyarch game in terms of how it feels.
 
Cause this looks fucking awesome so far. And they're treating us PC players mostly right. So yeah, I'ma buy dat.
