I love how he says "if you want to snipe, I do not recommend this game"

How is zooming in on someone 3 feet away from you "sniping", exactly?

It's not, that's probably why they added the timer on the sniper rifles. A hell of a good addition.

This is a good case of a developer seeing a major problem and fixing it.

I suppose the constantly moving had nothing to do with him missing. And I do agree that "sniping" is not using a sniper 3 feet away from someone.

I always hated that in MW2, when I'd be shooting someone and he could magically spin around, zoom in, and snipe in like half a second.

Glad to see quickscoping gone.

This game is what MW2 should have been.

I'm hyping it AAA.

Everything seems so much fun. I pre-ordered it a couple months ago, but its too cold here in Florida right now so f*ck the midnight launch, I'll get it tomorrow the moment Gamestop opens. I have have college at night for only 2 hours for 1 class, so its all perfect.

Great for those who got it early.

Since the PC version is steam exclusive I might get the retail version on Amazon since I can get any game $20 off so I might actually get the game sooner than I thought. I probably wait for Black friday to see it Amazon puts its on a deal.

Amazon would still be $5 cheaper I think. (well 20 bucks towards another game)

and you get the physical copy.

I think he means when I said it was Steam exclusive. What I meant was that this game will have steamworks like the steam cloud and Valve's anti-cheat.

ah ok, there's been some buzz on D2D's 25% off code. so I was thinking of that, and that the choice was based on price, not whether it was a STEAMWORKS game:P

my bad.

Im guessing a 9.5 here, I haven't been interested in a CoD games since I played the first MW but this one seems to be turning out pretty well. Im still not sold or anything because I don't think it is for me, but at least this one may deserve its hype.

Wow, 9.6 out of 10.

It said Zombie modes fades in comparison to Spec Ops Co-op from MW2.

But that was about everything MW2 is better according to them. They also mentioned the campaign is well told and better than MW2's...which is exactly what I'm looking for.

Though no mention if its longer than MW2.

The MP is better than MW2?:o

Not surprising with all of the tweaks and additions they have made. The game simply looks ace. Here is a nice little snippet.

"Overall with these changes, and what seems to be the most balanced multiplayer experience since CoD4, Black Ops has achieved what MW2 wanted to achieve and that is near perfection in the franchise. With all the standard modes like TDM and Search you'll feel right at home with the game and its mechanics. You can see the attention and care the team has given to the MP experience to ensure that players will enjoy themselves no matter what their skill level is. This care and attention has also been put into the maps which I can truly say all 14 of them reflect the era exceptionally well and are well designed and balanced on all game modes. I have yet to witness any glitches or exploits in the game as of yet, which is a sign of a fully polished MP experience."

there is

''However what is not frustrating is the length of the campaign, a criticism of CoD is that the campaigns are relatively short, not Black Ops, with a campaign which took around 9 hours on regular difficulty; you can add an extra few for Veteran resulting in a solid campaign for your money.''
