What do you think?
Game » consists of 19 releases. Released Nov 09, 2010
It's a joke right? It's like he's checked out pre-release material and brought up what we already knew. The MP is kickass but all platforms have their problems, the PC one in particular suffers from honest to god consolitis of the mouth, guiding Valkyrie missiles and racers is okay with a pad but with a mouse hoooooly crap you better have a huge mousemat ready for that piece of shiz.
Maybe it's "deal with it". I know that all anyone can do when a new, slightly-hyped game comes out is hate it, but when people love it, and hyperbole all over it, oh well.
That's another idiot getting paid by machinima, just like all those other idiots who play call of duty and make commentary plus sniper montages and get paid for it. Now youtube is overloaded with people who either already getting paid by machinima or people trying too.
" Couldn't hear anything over the dollar signs and sucking of activisions cock. "Reading this definitely kept me from watching the video.
" The sound is "the stuff of legend"?Maybe he has never played a pc game or a call of duty game before.
Pretty sure Battlefield's sound is better.
Oh and he says I'd be hard pressed to find a better looking shooter.
Here's one. "
" The fact that he keeps saying how surprised and blown away he was makes me think that not only has he never played a Call of Duty game before, he has never played an FPS before. Maybe he suffered a blunt force trauma to the head shortly before starting to play the game. "This. Other than the currency and wager matches, there is nothing in the multi-player that hasn't been around since COD 4. I understand that this is just one guy's opinion on the game, but the way this he describes this game its like he's living underground for the past 5 years.
Don't get me wrong, I love this game so far, it's right up there for me with some of the best stuff that's come out so far BUT the reviewer obviously has Kotick's flaccid dick stuffed in his mouth.
-The graphics aren't anywhere near the best out there, hell they're pretty aged looking. I'm willing to level some of the same graphics complaints against this game that I did against Fallout: New Vegas
-The sound design sucks. Period. I'm using an HT Omega Striker (which outputs a dolby digital live signal) and Astro A40's. With most other games I get INCREDIBLE sound (you should hear Bad Company 2 on this setup). Black Ops however doesn't sound much better than it would if I just went with my onboard sound and some stereo headphones.
Obviously no game is perfect and even with Black Ops there's still a couple nagging gameplay elements that need to be addressed. Is this game perfect? Fuck no. Is it the best Call of Duty released to date? Depends, the multiplayer definitely is, the single player can be depending on whether you dig the story or not. Either way Machinima sucks now, it went mainstream and was bought up by advertising dollars along time ago. That and it's just a quagmire of shitty quickscoping montages made by 12 year olds.
Blow my fucking mind about how many different MP modes? You mean the same ones that have been in MW 2?
" Blow my fucking mind about how many different MP modes? You mean the same ones that have been in MW 2? "plus new stuff... and how the fuck does the detract from the fact?!
jesus christ. you all are fucking dorks. everyone on here is getting all pissy about this guy raving about the game. ITS AN OPINION.
I dont think its THAT great, but it is pretty damn good.
i guess nobody is allowed to love a game anymore!!
sheesh.
" @Lukeweizer said:What new stuff? The Barebones mode that was in MW 2? Treyarch just organized the menus." Blow my fucking mind about how many different MP modes? You mean the same ones that have been in MW 2? "plus new stuff... and how the fuck does the detract from the fact?! "

I'm having a very fun time with Black Ops and I think its a very good game, but no game is perfect. The very thought that any one game can be perfect is ridiculous. People's taste in gameplay style and genre can differentiate so much that not everyone is going to like something.
Now if this guy is trying to say that Call of Duty: Black Ops is the perfect game for him because it fits his idea of a perfect game, then thats fine. More power to him. Besides this is a review after all. The whole point is that he's suppose to give his own opinion, not what he thinks everyone else should think. So chill out people, its just one guy's opinion. No reason is freak out about what someone else thinks.
jesus christ. you all are fucking dorks. everyone on here is getting all pissy about this guy raving about the game. ITS AN OPINION.Saying a game is flawless is wrong, so his opinion is wrong. His opinion is wrong because the game isn't perfect as he said.

i guess nobody is allowed to love a game anymore!!
sheesh.
"Pretty much this. I hate it when people's excuse is "OMG teh revwr iz getin paid!" conspiracy theory bullcrap people spew around on the internet. They're not getting paid kids, they're just blinded by hype.I think it's a little much to jump to conclusions about paid reviews. He's probably just a giant fanboy of the series and made a less proffesional review than he should have.

That's not a very good review. He exaggerates everything he says, and keeps talking about how X is the best thing in gaming ever every 5 sentences.
Sounds like a 12 year old's opinion in a grown man's body.
Not that I have anything against the game (I wish I had time to play it, but I'm at work all the time), but this guy isn't great at reviewing.
@NekuSakuraba: Its impossible for an opinion to be wrong thats why its an opinion not fact. Yes I agree with you, I don't think the game is perfect but he does. What's so wrong with that?It is very possible for an opinion to be wrong. In this case I will use his as an example, he says the game is perfect. That would mean not a single thing wrong, not one tiny glitch or error nothing is the slightest bit wrong with it. But there are things wrong with the game therefore he is wrong.
I just never know with reviews from other sites if they are their true opinion, if so, then he is entitled to that. Most of the time I cant help but to think of an different motive though. That makes me sad at video game journalism. Thank god for GB is all I can say, and that's why I support them so they don't have to have motives based on something other than the game itself.
