Hello, pretty simple question ..I'meager to buy MW2, played it recently by a friend (I know that after :P) But then there is the new black ops, has not played the the MP of B.O, is it awesome?Better than MW2? Gameplay wise, weapon and map wise?

What purchase do you think I should do?Can always wait with BO for a while and buy later, it aint like its gonna dissapear.Or should i skip MW2 completely and run B.O only?

MW2 has NO online community anymore for the PC. You will never find a team deathmatch game that won't lag and you'll never find players for any other game mode. Skip it.

DON'T get Modern Warfare 2 on the PC. No dedicated servers.

I would get either CoD 4 or Black Ops.

Get CoD 4. Still the best CoD game multiplayer wise for the PC.

If you haven't bought 4 get that instead of the other two I think. The campaign is excellent. I haven't finished BO's yet but the campaign is pretty underwhelming and there's a lot of technical issues with the MP, including high pings, latency and lag.

4 is the way to go. Lots of good mods for it too. They have their own Zombie Mod (similar to the one in counter-strike)

But that means you'll have to sacrifice Black Ops' really cool customization.

If you have a quad core, get Black Ops, otherwise get CoD4. Both are excellent and worth the money, but Black Ops simply doesn't work in any reasonable way with dual cores.

Personally I'd go with the MW2 on multiplayer it's way better than all those stupid gadgets on BO; nowdays gamers moved on BO because well - no brains, most probably some of them will return to MW2 - didn't enjoy BO weapons TBH.

TC, get Black Ops, but don't listen to this guys reasoning. MW2 still has an online community, but there is a big player drop. Also, it doesn't lag for me, so Mr. Shopping_cart, the lag is your problem.

Stupid gadgets in B Ops huh? So the Heartbeat sensor wasn't a tad over the top? Or how about the 1887 Shotty's that had the range of an assault rifle and could be dual wielded? Yeah thats realistic.

Dont listen to these guys or anyone else that says to get MW 2. That game is complete GARBAGE. Get CoD 4 if you are on a budget or get B Ops if your rig can handle it!!

Yeah.... well... I wouldn't go and listen to your advice either: A) Because CoD 4 is my favorite in the series BUT has no online community and B) Only a retard wouldn't notice that all CoD games since Modern Warfare, World at War, Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops have almost the same graphics. "get BO if your rig can handle it?! seriously? it's like suggesting to buy original Crysis because the rig can't handle Warhead :roll:

Nonsense! There are still tons of great servers online.

I don't understand your logic. The original Crysis is just as (if not more) demanding than Warhead.

I think every Call of Duty in the series still has at least a small following. World at War and Call of Duty 2 still have members playing multiplayer, Call of Duty 1 almost certainly still has a few hundred (especially if Allied Assault still has 800 - 1000), Modern Warfare still has thousands of players along with Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops has a ridiculous number.

If I were you I'd skip Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2 completely. Modern Warfare 2 could be a great experience at times but that was only with mates and when the opposition were not messing about over-powered weaponry. Black Ops is Modern Warfare 2 with gimmicks. Very few of the fundamental flaws that existed in Modern Warfare 2 have not been patched up and improvements are trivial at best (unless putting lions on your magazine is worth £30).

My suggestion? Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty 2 and if you have any money left over invest in the first for its awesome campaign and the fifth because it was when Treyarch was at its peak and not at the hands of Activision's "reformation" technique.

Don't make me laugh - tons of great servers on CoD4? more like 100+/- and how could you understand my simple logic? of course original Crysis would be more demanding - it's been optimized and the result was Warhead

Black Ops. It's overall, a better experience. Treyarch did an excellent with the multiplayer. The single-player is great.

CoD 4 still has a large community and is still the best multiplayer CoD game. It is much more balanced and doesn't have the over the tops weapons like MW2 and BO have.

Well, considering how long it has been out.. I was expecting $10. But it is Activision, after all.. :P Years later and the game is still $15. And it has been hovering at $20-30 game of the year edition for some time now before this sale.

I thoroughly enjoyed MW2 and have no problems with the online portion of the game.

Why would they sell a game that is still going strong for $10? If people are still buying it, the price doesn't go down.

Welllllll, maybe I was exaggerating on the TDM part, but have fun trying to get in a good S&D match.
