WTFFFF I remember buying the first 8 albums... well my sister did xD

@DarkSonata

Wow I thought NOW 77 was a joke until I clicked that link about NOW 78.

I feel old.

@Raptaur
what is all the hate on black ops for?
Its a fun game online , the majority of people enjoy its one of the biggest selling games there is if not the biggest selling game.

@Raptaur Yeah, I agree, the 360 sales numbers are pretty wacky.

@Lucky48 it is going off the reputation of COD4, easily one of the best FPSs ever made. You people act like CODs popularity is completely undeserved. Infinity Ward were gods only a few short years ago.

I guess its cool to be psuedo-indie-middle-of-the-pack.

@Jack Kevorkian

I'm not clear on your point, Infinity Ward had nothing to do with making Black Ops, it was made by Trayarch.

Unless you mean Trayarch are riding on the coat tails of Infinitay Wards IW engine, which must be coming in or around 6 years old and in high need of an overhaul?

@Yisrael
...and this is what surprises me. That people buy into this game when it’s inferior to the last, the last afore that and especially the last afore that.

It’s not hate; I just don’t applauded shoddy work. We should be holding developers accountable for not improving the games that are then selling to us for 60 bucks.

If people continue to lap this standard up (and pay over the odds for the privilege) then what motivates developers/publishers to do a better job on the next iteration of the series.

@Raptaur
The online is a lot better. I've easily received $60 worth of entertainment from online play alone. (About 5 days = 120 hours = as much playtime as Fallout 3 for me).
Also, I don't buy into this fanboy/hater crap. I play games I personally like regardless of whether it's "cool" or not. Don't like CoD? More power to you. Just don't buy it. If we all employ this simple method any and all crap games will cease to persist in the market.

@Prox

I would disagree in that you think my comments are based solely on fanboyism or hate, I’m a little too old in the tooth for immature antics and views, plus I prefer serious discussion so lets cut the name calling crap and discuss… do you honestly feel that the online game in CoD has improved through release since MW4, do you think/feel it’s getting better?

Me, I’m getting that deja-vu feeling with it all, if I’m honest I’m getting a little bored something new need to be added and an overhaul of the engine for the next one.

As it stands with minimal updates to the engine and gameplay it’s all starting to blend into each other. I’m not easily bored with one game especially if I’m enjoying the multiplayer, I’ve invested around 420 hours in one of the current FPS right now and have no plays to stop playing it

@Lucky48 you are pointing things that have been said thousands of times on a thousand different forums. Your whininess is mainstream.

Just dont buy the thing but who cares who else buys it? Its not bad like farmville or angry birds.

@Raptaur
I'm not saying I think YOUR comments are based solely on fanboyism or hate, but I do think a lot of the comments on this site (and others) is.

I do feel that the online play has improved since MW2. I personally never encounter cheaters/hackers in Black Ops, whereas MW2 was full of them. From a networking perspective, I almost never drop games (even when the host leaves) and lag is less apparent. Also, a number of improvements have been made to overall game balance (weapons, perks). I encounter a lot more variety in BO, as opposed to games full of OMA/noob tubes in MW2.

Now, the improvements themselves are one topic of discussion. A completely different topic would be that of the improvements meriting a new $60 game. Personally, I feel that the multiplayer maps, additional guns & perks, zombie game mode, etc. is enough to justify an entirely new game as opposed to updates to MW2. What I was saying in my first post is that if someone DOESN'T feel that way they should simply not purchase the new iteration. Voting with your wallet is the best way to get your message to the publishers.

Uhhhhh... Haven't we established that COD's are bad games? I mean come on, thats old news.
