Call of Duty: Black Ops Message Board  

Its not bad and its not great

You can tell infinity ward isn't responsible for this game.
Treyarch made this to be mediocre like the recent released medal of honor.

i enjoy the game.

sure it had its downs at release due to there being some problems, but it honestly didnt bother me so much.

when you play on foreign servers, on Any game(FPS or MMO) and you have lag you tend to get used to those kinds of things.

for me i just adapt to it, apparently thats hard for most people to do, but when your a PC Gamer things like that shouldnt come as a surprise and you should be able to adapt to and anticipate those specific issues, not just be whiney lil brats because something isnt perfect, Life isnt perfect, but a game can be fixed.

The recent patches have helped, deleting your SP and MP config files in most cases will help resolve some issues.

For the record people, all the awe and good graphics are in SINGLE player where they were meant to be, not in Multi.

BO is more balanced then MW2 is in every way and its definately a good thing.

Oh and for the record, yes its true IW had nothing to do with BO, but what you expect? the co owners of IW screwed Activision and got fired, its their own fault, because of that many of IW left to join the co owners at their own studio, they are apparently working for EA now or some such..

ANYHOO, Treyarch are the people that made World at War and BO is on a heavily modified WaW engine.

BO may not have Crysis style graphics, but imo the graphics definately do not suck, and in SP its perfect.

Once the majority of the patches are released BO will be much better. but as of day 1 i have not had any issues aside from those in MP, and those issues werent in every single server btw, especially now.

If you guys want to wait a month or 2 for more patches and fixes to be released then feel free, but if you have a decent enough rig and you can afford to get it now you may as well.

So jst tell me, do I buy it or not?

Well if you like Multiplayer get it. If you looking for a good story and single player mode then I would say no. If you get it just for solo mode then you will play it once and sell it once you play it, it is done. Up to you we all have our opinions.

IMO, this game is cram-full with kill-streak stuff, like MW2. Plus the ridiculous akimbo weapons...CoD became more and more a "kiddo"-only game. :P
