    i can hardly believe I'm writing this but holy crap this game was actually better then MW2. the story was actually worth following and took some amazing twists(won't spoil any of them for you). I have to give it up to Treyarch, when they aren't forced to stick to a WW2 game they actually come out with something amazing and totally worth playing.

    Does it get crazier or just as crazy as MW2?

    I like the surprise at it being decent lol. altho 'better than MW2' doesnt say much to me, i thought the 1 player was shallow and kinda pointless, not to mention constant spawning enemies, i just hate that but WE, good to hear its had some love put into it.

    MW2's singleplayer had really amazing setpieces, it just needed a cohesive story. It looks to me that Black Ops fills that flaw.

    @Potter9156: it gets just as crazy but it never loses you. like your still able to keep up with it unlike the cluster fuck that was MW2's story
    @zef40: i REALLY didn't like WaW so that's why i was so shocked that this was good.

    Glad to hear, maybe now Activision will give Treyarch some more freedom to do what they want and the money to make what they want to do be of a higher quality.

    Who are we to judge anonymous people on the internet? That seems crazy.
     
    Furthermore, your statement seems to imply that we should be like GAF, and that seems even MORE crazy.

    @KaosAngel:   If he pirated it or not (which we don't know), does that devalue his opinion of the singleplayer campaign?  If he would have waited to make this thread until Tuesday, it would be alright, right?  What's the difference?
     
    It's not like his post is about piracy.  He didn't mention it, he's not bragging about it.  Should we forego interesting discussion so everyone on the site can spit venom at someone who obviously doesn't care?  That's hardly productive. This is good information for potential consumers on the fence about picking up this game.

    I have read a lot of ppl praising the story.  Given that so many will bash treyarch out of hand for not being IW, I would say this is a very good sign.
     
    Veteran is supposed to be silly hard though, to the point of not being fun any more,  just like COD3 and WaW  :(
     
    @KaosAngel said:

    No he wouldn't because he didn't mention piracy.  Sure it is very likely that is how he got it but even GAF need proof (they take it to the other extreme and auto ban anyone how even mentions piracy, even if they are not advocating it).

    How about no? 
     
    Plenty of retailers break street date. Hell, my best friend works at Wal-Mart and I got New Vegas and Fable 3 the day before (and in Fable 3's case) two days before release. There's nothing illegal about it, and they're legit copies. If I decided to drop a line to Giant Bomb and tell the community how great or terrible a game was, would you try to throw me under a bus like you're doing with the OP?

    yes if you illegally obtained the game your opinion is invalid, money is not part of the judgement process , any idiot who gets a game for free will praise it, because its free
     
    and everytime someone references neogaf on this website, its like all the kiddies fled neogaf and try to populate here, and keep referencing the rules of neogaf. Neogaf bans anyone who even remotely talks bad about video games and claims its trolling. Neogaf is garbage and known for viral marketting / industry employees posting threads promoting their own game.
     
    Also everyone who got the leaked copy of black ops said the singleplayer sucked and it was super short, also Treyarch is known for making horribly multiplayer thats unbalanced, incase you forgot about WAW and the sub machine gun that everyone used.

    Can't pirate PS3 games so that's clean.  If you got an early copy for PS3 you're good.  If it's PC or 360, if you can't prove you own the retail disc that's something else.

    Thats really great to hear; I really liked the spectacles that existed in MW2 since it felt like playing your way through a big budget OTT hollywood blockbuster. However the story just felt like it was trying too hard to evoke emotions, and failed spectacularly in that regard in my eyes (im not american though so the whole 'white house burning again' thing didn't irk me one bit).
     
    And somehow this thread has turned into 'Giantbomb forum community vs Kaosangel'.

    I'm still considering picking up this game. Money's tight right now, so I might just stick to WoW for awhile. I don't really need to play another FPS right now... Looks good though, maybe after a couple of pay checks.

    Many people have got their games early and are playing online. So we can't assume that he pirated it.

    Is it better than COD4? That game's campaign was great. 
     
    Also, who cares if he pirated it or not. Even though he already said he didn't do it, why make suck a big deal either way :\

    nice.  i'm definitely stoked for this game.  it just sounds all around better than mw2.  i knew treyarch could do it.  
     
    just a quick question, is it on par with or possibly better than cod4 from what you played?
