Black Ops campaign: There is ripoffs and then there is homages...

People go out of their way to bash COD here. It's not the best FPS series, and MW2 was a piece of junk, but sometimes I feel posters here try to find any way they possibly can to hate on it.

Upparoom

Fastest way to become percevied as an elitist here = bash Call of Duty or Halo. True story. :P

[QUOTE="Megaman5364"]The scene from Black Ops and the scene from The Deer Hunter are so similiar it's not funny, the vietnamise dude in BO, even yells out Mao when he slaps Woods in the face, and they escape from the POW camp exactly the same way they do in the Deer Hunter and the way it starts off ( them being held underwater in cages ) is exactly what happens in the Deer Hunter also ! GOsh !Megaman5364

No they were not similar. So what the guy said "Mao", that's what they say, the Deer Hunter didn't invent Vietnamese. And the underwater cages were a real thing. And the escape was nothing like deer hunter, AT ALL. There was no Russian guy waiting forthem in deer hunter. There was no log in black ops. And in the deer hunterm de niro made them put in more bullets, in black ops, they just predicted the bullet was in the right place do IDK where you got the same. And no one got beat to death with a pipe in the deer hunter. No guuy took a chunk off his head in black ops. IDK where you're getting that they were so similar. Russian Roulette was an actual thing that happened in Veitnam, the Deer Hunter didn't invent it.

I'd prefer if they fix the online first. :P

I would like to play a match for more than 3 minutes before being disconnected.

MW2 was just as bad, if not worse than Black Ops with connection issues. Maybe it's just that I've played MW2 way more than Black Ops...

[QUOTE="jessmaster13"]

[QUOTE="Messiahbolical-"] They should've used the same connection infrastructure as MW2. MW2 wasn't perfect by any means, but it was as smooth as P2P can possibly get. Host migration worked perfect 90% of the time and there was no "game lobby closed" issue or "disconnected due to transmission error" bullcrap. I love Black Ops, but god they really messed up as far as the connection infrastructure goes.Ragnarok1051

Yes, I know. In Black Ops Mason takes the gun and then just shoots a gaurd and then they escape further into the tunnels towards Kravchenko. Nothing like the Deer Hunter at all.

The "twist" completely ripped off Fight Club.

Originality=/=good It was mildly amusing for 4 or so hours. You should know what to expect from cod's sp post 4.:P

I wouldn't even call it amusing. I played it for about an hour at my nephew's house. After the 41'st explosion in the first 10 minutes I sort of zoned out, it was all so ridiculous that I just stopped caring and got bored with it, if that makes any sense.

Thats sort of a staple of CoD games. The old ones took pages from WWII movies and MW2 even took a scene straight from Fast and Furious, a movie that really should not be on the mind of a team working on a military shooter.

MW1 was probably the most original in terms of story, I didn't have any issue with the references though. I actually liked them quite a bit, now the historical innaccuracies, that I can't forgive.

[QUOTE="bobbetybob"]You realise all those movies were based of an ACTUAL WAR that happened, I know, crazy right! The only scene I saw that was actually a rip off was the Deer Hunter bit.Verge_6

meh all I use cod for is zombies, I know Im probably doing it wrong but thats the only mode I dont get bored of :P
