So is it just me or is the single player garbage???! They did a great job of creating a lot of variety... but the actual gameplay is garbage. Mostly b/c the AI is a joke... and after getting used to KZ, the controls just feel waaay too floaty. I haven't jumped online yet... I'm sure I'll like that though.

I say the campaign is better then the average game, but not amazing. The ai do suck, I feel like a one man army sometimes.

i wasnt that impressed with black ops when i got it. maybe my expectations were too high. +1 for all the game modes but the single player was just as short as MW2.

You would hate the old school medal of honor's then lol =P

I love the one man army thing, but I always hated COD's story...which is why I play BFBC2 for the storyline lol. and the ps1 medal of honors occasionally

If you beat Black Ops and thought the story sucked, please sell your copy back to where ever you got it. Yes the AI sucks, its YOU who has the to take care of stuff, not the AI. You are playing the game, not the AI.

I have a different question. Do you guys have these framerate issues in multiplayer? It doesnt seem to be regular lag, it seems to really be framerate drops (or maybe screen-tearing i dont know). At first I thought its the lag related problem but then I tried playing with bots and guess what. Even then it has these issues. Ive been used to CoD having super smooth framerate but this one doesnt at all. Then I even tried Der Riese map, playing SOLO. Even that has these problems, it struggles to keep smooth framerate... Is it my ps3 or is this same for everyone? I hope they fix this asap.

From what I hear the campaign is better then MW2's, and im glad to hear that.

Imo though, Cod have BEEN terrible since CoD 4.

Yes, its very often. Its never bad, but i can't believe it has these issues.

IF they make the game NOT HD, then at least make it run smooth! To have the game Not HD AND have some performance issues, its pretty outrageous. Granted, for me at least, the framerate never gets in the way, but its just kinda, annoying.

When you have great looking games like Halo Reach or Gears for the 360, and Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 for the PS3, theres no excuse to have COD be under HD AND have performance issues.

Exactly, especialy since previous CoD games run super smooth and I guess its the same engine again. So why this. Plus I have serious doubts they will fix this, maybe they even cant now. Since we"re at this topic, I also noticed than the HDD is working 24/7 no matter what I play. Not just little as usual, its really doing something big. Even in WaW zombie maps and this wasnt happening in WaW so why here... And accessing xmb is a pain. It takes about 15 freaking seconds to open a message... terrible optimisation. But again I doubt they will fix all this.

It does use the same engine. Whats crazy about it, ijs that the source code of the engine they use, is based on the engine that ran Quake III all those years ago. Maybe they should patch an optional install or something, that could help

Quake III?? Wow thats crazy indeed. If it worked as in previous CoD, then its fine. But this game feels like a freaking beta to me. When using napalm strikes its even worse. From what I heard, its the same on PC. I wonder where they got the previous videos for the game, those seem to run fine.

They probably used 360 footage, it has the least issues. With that said, even the 360 has some framerate things at times. They just screwed it up XD

Thats bothering me the most as the game itself is solid, lots of new features and such. How can they even release such unfinished, unstable piece of crap. It freezes even in the menus! And I had to make the initial settings (brightness, violence filter and sound) several times now for some strange reason. But its still a huge commercial success. Yesterday I had about 15 people online and literaly everyone was playing this game.

I mean, for me at least, the game is always playable. the framerate does jump, but its never bad. But i just expected better, considering COD4,5 and MW2 ran much better.

Yeah, but this is what happens when a game is under development for a year.

I'm sure you will all get a patch soon enough, while I still have to wait A DAMN MONTH for the next Fallout New Vegas patch :(.

( maybe even longer :cry: )

I really enjoyed the campaign. Story was much better than I was expecting. I don't really have anything else to compare it to though since this was the first time I ever finished a CoD campaign. I played about half of MW2's campaign and decided to try the online and just never went back to it :P I enjoyed what I played of it, but Black Ops was definitely better. Are you talking about enemy AI or teammate AI? I played on Hardened and my teammates already didn't do crap so I assume they would do even less on Veteran. Enemy AI was pretty decent on Hardened too so I would think they'd be even better on Veteran.

its just the engine.. it feels more like the old cod's, well 2 to 5 anyway..with a mw2 skin...but the engine is far less superior than the mw2 engine.. it did have nice variety and environments like you said, and i liked how the characters kept returning so they felt more like actual companions (woods & reznov ftw:p) , altogether a very decent game, if you don't constantly compare it to the superior mw2.. same goes for the multi, very decent but not as good as mw2...former IW were the kings.. pretty much the same with cod4 and 5 imo, 5 was still a good game but not as good as 4

The campaing was better than the other COD games.. well atleast the story was. The AI was crap.. both friendly and the enemies. Graphics were nice... still it felt like just a pretty scenario cus the levels were too small.

Treyarc hijacked the great name of CoD and released one other peace of garbage....AGAIN. yes you herd me right, World at War was garbage too. this is the last time i buy one of their games. Infinity Wards it's just incredibly superior at making FPS. i'm very disappointed with this game. i'm going back to MW2.

Single-player-wise I prefer IW, the campaign of WaW and CoD3 just felt... off. It didn't feel right, the infinite enemies, grenade spamming, and it just wasn't as fun IMO at least.

IW is way too chaotic... i dont know who i am playing as half the time.. and the story is well...:s IW is way to overated in my opinion but i m not sure i can compare it to Treyarc since black ops is the first treyarc game i play :/
