Activision...you messed up.
Graphics: The graphics are worse than Call of Duty 4, I know Treyarch has never been known for graphics but come on people. They arent horrible, I am not saying the graphics suck but for a Call of Duty game they are way below par, not to mention the 1 thing I loved about Treyarch was the body parts flying off and the blood that Infinity Ward never had and they took that out. 4/10
Gameplay: The same as every other Call of Duty game. 9/10
Maps: This gets its own category because this is the only real problem I have with this game guys. The maps are HORRIBLE!!! Most of the maps are built for campers, like that is there soul purpose, and I havent found one map I actually like. I have 1 or 2 I prefer, but I dont like any of them. The maps are the most important thing in my opinion for online play, the gameplay has been there for years, all you have to do is upgrade the guns, graphics and put in some good maps and you have a great game, yet somehow TREYARCH screwed that up, they updated the guns....thats it. Think about it like this, everyone remembers Blood Gulch from Halo: Combat Evolved, just like everyone remembers Shipment from MW, Black Ops has no maps I ever want to see again! 0/10
The one good thing I can say about Black Ops is the Wager Matches are a good add on, they dont add an entire new element to the game but they can be fun and get your adrenaline pumping, but with the maps as bad as they are and the gameplay staying the same it is hard to suggest this game to anyone, I say either they bring in a new company that uses Infinity Wards graphics and gameplay engines or we wait for Respawn's game to hit shelves, Treyarch is a bust.
