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.
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Game » consists of 19 releases. Released Nov 09, 2010
The seventh installment of the long-running action franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops puts players into the early era of the Cold War (including the Vietnam War) as a member of the United States black operations unit known as the SOG.
Just beat black ops and WOW
MW2's singleplayer had really amazing setpieces, it just needed a cohesive story. It looks to me that Black Ops fills that flaw.
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.
EDIT: Sorry if that sentance was hard to read. :-s
MW2 single player was amazing, i loved every minute of it, I don't thing anything can be better than that.
Breaking Price out of the prison was one of the best moments ever, sooooo fucking good.
" @Meteora: Then just like GAF, post a pic of the game and case so you don't get your ass banned in a second. This is a video game forum, and yes piracy is real...but if we just joke about it and let it pass, it shows no respect to people who make games. "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.
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.
Veteran is supposed to be silly hard though, to the point of not being fun any more, just like COD3 and WaW :(

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).
also for anyone who noticed i try and do this a lot with stuff i play a bit early. i like to come on here and give my ideas on what i think its shit and what isn't. i know everyone doesn't agree with me but i just like to help people out in deciding if they wanna put money into a game or not.

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?
Seriously, let it go.
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.

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 actually hate it with a passion but it needed to be here "No, it didn't.
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.
I was expecting it to be a better game, MW2 was a disaster.

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 :\

im against piracy aswell but im not flaming the threads the moment i suspect it

"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?
" You beat World of Warcraft? "I laughed.
Glad to hear the game's making people happy. I would totally buy it if I had money.
" You beat World of Warcraft? "This. This is exactly how I understood the thread topic.
