[QUOTE="King_Dodongo"]I would like to see you fighting those bots and if they're any good. King_Dodongo

online is not open right now, treyarch will open the servers on release date which means I can't try the combat training.

Oh well at least you will be one of the first to try it. And how's the AI on Single player?

AI's is about the same difficulty from mw2, I don't remember if they get away from grenades in MW2 if you try to flank them but that's something Im witnessing in BO.

Buying this next week. I'm guessing AAE for the rest of the COD's until a major innovation, but I'm positive it'll be better than MW2 even though it'll score lower.

GS knows that they will be crucified by a lot of users if they score it 9.5 or 10 however if they score 8.0 or worse then there would be the other side of users crucifying them. I'm picking 8.5 or 9.0 as a smart guess however i would love to see something like a 7.0 or worse just to prove a point.

I'm actually somewhat looking forward to this, it seems Treyarch aren't nearly as stupid as IW. If I get it, all I'll touch will be Zombies and maybe some Wager games.

Where are the reviews for this game? It's coming out day after... why such a late embargo?

I wouldn't be surprised at an AA rating at all. Doesn't mean the multiplayer won't be better than MW2's piece of crap (I mean the bar is so freaking low).

[QUOTE="October_Tide"]

[QUOTE="HAZE-Unit"]

the story so far is amazing because it is not just regular guys doing missions, it's Black Ops going through secret behind the scenes missions which reminds me of Goldeneye 007 stuff, it is paced well and levels do make sense with the story when you travel from area to the next.

And I think the hero of the game is voiced by the actor from Avatar, terminator and clash of the titans ( Sam something ? ) he really fits the sneaky secret agent type of guy with his voice..

HAZE-Unit

Not sure where you are up to in it. How long is the game so far? I was on another forum and a guy who got the xbox version said it took him 10 hours to finish but I though he either sucks really bad or is playing it on the hardest difficulty (I remember cod4 taking an insane amount of time to finish on delta or whatever was that really damn hard mode)

Im playing on veteran which is the hardest difficulty and I think played around 3-4 hours in the campaign.

pretty sure Im early in the game.

I started playing in hardened.

Execution order mission is a ****, you gonna get killed in the last section of the mission ALOT and it's only the 4th mission in the game.

On hardened its gonna be easier though :P

:lol: It should do something inovative, otherwise it should be an expansion pack. There are a few new game modes and features but the gameplay is exactly the same as MW2 and therefore should be marked down IMO.

Yeah seriously, haters calling this MW2.5 are self-owning themselves! :lol: Black Ops has added so many great new things to the series.

whats so wrong about the gameplay being exactly the same if it is one of the best fast-paced FPSs? most franchises play it safe just like the COD series if they found their core mechanics superb , nothing wrong with that, most important thing is adding new features, modes, adding gameplay mechanics on top of the core gameplay...etc.

Mmm lets hope that these stats come up in the leaderboards. People with everything unlocked in 5 min game time and instant bannage. But that never generally happens. I also hope they fix the care package glitch.

I haven't really delved into any of the newer CoD's since the first one came out way back when but I did pick up Cod4 on steam for about $15 a few months ago. Despite mainly playing the battlefield series I'm having quite a bit of fun with Cod4 and its focus on fast paced action and infantry combat. So I guess I'm going from apathetic about the series to considering getting Black Ops on Steam this week, might way for some reviews to hit just to make sure the game isn't broken or whatnot. So I got BfBc2 for the glorious large maps, destruction 2.0 and awesome war experience, and I'll have Cod for when I feel like fast paced all out shooting blitzes, sounds like a win win for me!

Can't wait to pick up my Hardened Edition for the PS3. Probably won't play the multiplayer much without some friends, yet pumped for the single player, zombies, and anything else.

going with AAA, game has fixed loads of things that mw2 ended up ruining, as well as added lots of new stuff. should be a blast as long as they decide to use theater mode to ban glitchers and what not.

I'll go AA. They've fixed some issues, and reversed some bad decisions that were present in previous installments. Lack of core innovation and yearly installments catch up to the series, however.

Look closely. Thats the old dashboard. JTAG doesn't work on the new dashboard just yet which means these hacks can't be taken online right now. Or so they say on the 360 BLOPS forums. If you don't want the hackers ruining your game then buy the PS3 version. Simple as that.

i think it has a lot of deep features and i think that it might not get enough look through by the reviewer so im going with aa. the thing is this game would not be shocking to have some kind of ridiculous exploits or glitches like the previous games have had its just a matter of time like 2 weeks before something comes up.
