Anyone actually looking forward to Black Ops?

Honestly, I really am not interested at this point. The demo they had of it at E3 looked like more of the same COD ultra-macho warrior type of missions, instead of something fresh or innovative. Even the trailer couldn't get me excited. No offense, but it seems like most of the people excited for it are the typical 15-20 year old COD fanboys that buy anything with the Call of Duty brand on it. I'm not saying all of those excited are that. Halo Reach looks to offer way more value and excitement. I mean, there are going to be 4 different modes, let alone all of the new weapons, armor, abilities, maps, story, customization, etc.

I remember when the original COD came out, and it was just plain amazing. It wasn't a MOH clone, it surpassed it on so many levels, what with the insane Russain level where you were charging up a hill into enemy fire with no weapon. I don't know, it seems like developers are all about flash nowdays when it comes to shooters.

Not me, gave up after COD 4.

Im looking forward for Reach only. I think I will just rent black ops and complete it in veteran in the time of rent. I made that with mw2.

Alright, just saw this video:

That got me even more excited for Reach, and Forge isn't even the biggest mode in Halo. Imagine how good the Campaign and Multipltiplayer will be if they are doing that much for Forge.

You were smart to do that. WaW was basically a COD 4 clone set in World War 2, with the inclusion of a crappy new mode. And we all know the disaster MW2 turned out to be.

Was the beta pretty good? I heard some people saying it wasn't all that great, but I found that hard to believe. I wasn't lucky enough to try it (wasn't gonna buy ODST just for the beta.)

I'm looking forward to it somewhat. I haven't thoroughly enjoyed a CoD game since either CoD2/4. If Black Ops is anything like MW2, I may not pick it up.

I'm not excited for it, but I might pick it up still.

i am. looks way better than MW2.

Yes and no. Im excited for zombies and thats about it. Ill pick it up whenever theres a sale for it.

Since I made a personal vow to not buy anymore run of the mill FPS that don't bring anything new to the table I doubt i'll buy it. I loved COD 2,MW and WaW but the forumla is just getting stale and I personally think MW2 took the series in the wrong direction. Black Ops looks to have a fun and exciting campaign, though. Odds are I'll end up buying it sooner or later but I'll be busy playing Halo: Reach this holiday season.

I'm not really into Black Ops. COD4 was the only game in the COD series that I really enjoyed probably beacause it was the first in the series to move away from the WW2 era.

No. I gave up on COD Multiplayer a long long time ago. I'll rent it for the Singleplayer (cause its free with the Blockbuster plan I have) but otherwise I wouldn't play it at all.

Treyarch always makes inferior games to Infinity Ward, and with the change from IW to Respawn Entertainment, CoD is dead and it will be obvious with the release of CoD 8.

Not in the slightest bit excited. I think everything we saw in the main trailer showcased all the major highlights from the game which doesn't say an awful lot.

I also honestly think Treyarch makes poorer quality games than most so that instanly puts me off.

I'm probably the only one on this particular topic who loved MW2 ( Didn't get in to the MP side of things though ). A mate of mine and me played through Special Ops recently and had a blast, and I finished the Campaign again, no too long ago. ( Cue the hatred ) Its pure quality through and through IMO and NOTHING that Half-Arsed, Mickey-Mouse developer Treyarch can make will ever come close to it, which is a shame...

I really don't like Treyarch, so no, I'm not looking forward to Black-Ops

A little bit. I'm not going to get it first day, but I'll wait on the reviews. I liked World at War, the campaign was fun and pretty unique, nazi zombies is great with friends, the only thing is I hated was the online, I thought the maps, guns, and game types were pretty uninspired. But then again that's the call of duty series for you. Treyarch had better pull out the big guns here or I'll save my money.

i think this may be the first time i dont line up the night before to get it @ Gamestop, which is sad but im just getting sick of the whole series after cod4.

(i have not been impressed and more let down than anything)

When will people learn that this game is garbage?? The developers give them a buggy game and just sit back counting their stacks. And these people still run out and get the next one...yeah I know this time its Treyarch but I guarrantee this game will draw the hackers that MW2 brought.

It was just listed that COD surpassed Heroin as a more addictive drug.

I completely agree with you.

I'm not getting Black Ops, but I might get Medal of Honor. So far the multiplayer is buggy as hell though. The Reach Beta convinced me to buy it. Imagine what these last few months of polish will do to the game :)

It doesn't look to bad. Just the same old average COD in my opinion. What Treyarch need to do is fix the issues in Mw2 such as glitches, hacks, unbalanced weapons and the maps. If they fix these things then Black Ops will be good. I will be getting it anyway because all my mates will be picking it up. I will be getting of Ebay though maybe 3/4 weeks after release.

Im looking foward to it cause I got rid of MW 2 back in march or april.

Yea, I am looking forward to it. I just recently started liking CoD, and I am soon going to buy the entire collection.

Good mix of opinions in here. For those who like Nazi Zombies, how did you guys not get bored of it after like 10 minutes?

Oh man the beta is terrible. It's looking worse than Black Ops at this point, even the campaign looks bleh.

I'll wait another year before I buy another FPSJJnyg24

Is your sig a preview of what the new Commando perk is going to be like?

They removed Commando from Black Ops, and last stand.

On topic though, I have it pre ordered, I got Live at the beginning of the summer and just got into MW2, IMO its a great game and I enjoy it, it has its faults, but what game doesn't.

I'm definitely looking forward to it.

No,Blackops hasn't got my attention yet. Medal of Honor seems better to me. I am looking foward to Fallout and Fable.

I can honestly say I have absolutely no interest in Black Ops. The whole CoD franchise needs to go away. Six games in five years is just far too muchx-2tha-z

I don't think it needs to totally go away, it just needs to actually come out with a good one again. They managed to somehow put out the 2nd best COD (COD 2) right after the very best one (COD 1), but nowdays it seems like they don't even try.

Oh man, I've played the MOH beta, it is horrible. At this point, what with the campaign looking even worse than COD's, I'd say Black Ops is even better. The beta feels like it is a wannabe BC2/MW2 mix, except worse than both those games. Nothing in it makes it stand out.

Im looking forward to seeing what Treyarch can do after IW flopped hard
