Be honest.... what are your thoughts on COD Black Ops?

I hope to see a lot of different stuff than we saw In MW2. I want a commie Zombie mode and a new twist to multiplayer to make it feel fresh.

im sure it will be fine just like mw2. they will probably learn from that games mistakes and improve on the formula a bit but also take a step or two back. in the end i expect another solid real score 7, press score 9 shooter

I thought it looked pretty good, however the SP is not what I'm worried about (I hope it's at least 8 hours though) but the MP.. need to see some footage of that.

Losing my interest. Mostly due to bad trailers. Cod4 and mw2 trailers got me pumped, treyarch's don't.

Looks good so far.

I wouldn't care if the MP is similar to MW2 since i still enjoy playing it from time to time.

looks good as usual, im probably going to buy it....:cry:

I don't care about MW or COD series.

Right now i could care less about the call of duty series ,but i'm hoping treyarch will make a game that will draw me back in .

One thing.

"Time Travel."

this picture pretty much sums up my feelings for ALL upcoming CoD games

The developers are really trying to copy Infinity Ward's MW2, and I think they wouldn't pull it off well at all.

Absolute truth!!!

Excuse me sir,is this the place to ask for a milkshake?Arach666

sure is. with activision around, there's enough milkage for everyone.

lets hope it is better than MW2,and im looking for new stuff,features maybe,

cuz it will turn out just like other first person shooters if it doesnt have the new features.

plus i want to see more fights in the cities and a bullet time feature,wow imagine that....

I think it will be more versatile a game than COD:MW and MW2 are, reason being Black Ops spans what seems to be a much larger timeline, so you're going to experience some of the more modern, high-tech weaponry with a blend of some the retro good stuff from the 60s and 70s. The effect that has on storyline will also make the game feel more fresh. My biggest concern is that because it is done by Treyarch and not IW, it's not going to feel like quite the same experience (control-wise and interactively). For me, that's a bad thing because I really admire the build of IW's games, the way they're paced and how the controls correlate into the gamer's enjoyment. Right now, I give the pre-launch hype a B to B+ just because it's not a surefire AAA.

I think I will be skipping the rest of the COD series this gen, and probably next as well. Actually, I may be skipping any shooter from EA as well. None of these games perform well online, so I will most likely be looking towards Sony's first party shooters for my online games.

i will boycott black ops if they only give pc version dedicated server. if console versions dont have dedicated server, pc shouldnt get it either.

Not really the best place to ask about any COD title. This place is full of COD haters.

From the trailers it looks awesome, but really that's just marketing. Treyarch IMO did a mediocre job on WAW.

1. Forgetful story, it was historical, but it was also forgettable. One thing I liked about MW2 is the over the top story.

2. MP was unbalanced. Basically anybody of a higher level than you has better stuff than you MW had balance, but MW2 not so much.

3. MP was unoriginal. Basically everything innovative in MW was copied straight to WAW

4. Lower quality. I don't know if it was budget or skill, but the overall design of WAW was not up to par w/ MW.

Considering these 4 things I don't have high hopes for CODBO.

Treyarch are a better developer than Infinity Ward. World At War was much more fun than Modern Warfare 2, and since Treyarch have said that they are going to build on their own successes, and now have the breathing room to make the changes that they want to with the franchise, Im relatively excited by Black Ops.

Infinity Wad's success had made them arrogant and, for whatever reason, they clearly didnt care much about their product. Treyarch, on the other hand, seem to always put maximum effort in. So far, they have been forced to develop according to rules set by Activision and IW. Now, they are the most senior CoD developer.

I generally dislike FPS games, but the fast paced, arcade nature of Call of Duty gameplay makes it fun for me to pop the disc in every now and then.

My honest opinion?

I almost made it a full day without hearing about CoD, and was quite pleased.

You have ruined what was an otherwise peaceful evening.

I allways end up getting every CoD game and they allways desapoint me. Im definitly done with CoD

it will be activisions last with ea now holding control of the ip

oh iw ould like to mention i want a nazi zombies full game

"Thought" and "Call of Duty" should not be used in the same sentence.

as a aformentioned post of mine they were lisensed the mw ip by iw but now respawn are the only ones able to make them ie the iw team

but i do agree treyarch do seem to be there to soo what works and what doesnt and do what they think is best such as nazi zombies iw/respawn would not do that, seeing as they are at ea now we will probably see it come around now , as there milk masters demand it

Ok that's it. I'm making a chocolate milkshake... But I'm out of icecream! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it looks great. Wondering what kind of Nazi Zombie variation it'll have. I'm also wondering how they're gonna balance WW2 guns and modern day guns in multiplayer.

Looks like another standard FPS TBH.

Two things come to mind for me:

1. Treyarch
2. Big Red One

I'll pass.

It looks good.

ZOMBIE's

I have no thoughts on anything COD-related anymore. It was On Notice last year but now it's Dead to Me.
