Loved it. Second favorite CoD.

First is World At War.

Still think the new killstreak rewards are broken as fuck though.

NO FLARES FOR HELICOPTERS! Not even a single one!
They're more balanced than Modern Warfare 2's. Well, except Chopper Gunner on Nuketown and RCXD. Attack Dogs are great fun though!
UAV, Airstrike, Heli

That's the way it should always be.
No wiggle room for Care Packages or Napalm?

I liked it for a while. The campaign was right good fun, it was. Yeah, I played it on Recruit, but I still enjoyed it.
The multiplayer was really fun, which is saying a lot seeing as I'm pretty bad and spend a lot of time mashing X to respawn.
But then it seemed one day everyone found the AK74u. That day was the day I came crawling back to Team Fortress 2. You may have a buttload of unbalanced weapons now, TF2, but at least I'm not being killed by the same one over and over again.

I borrowed it off a mate of mine, gave it back 2 days later. I think CoD has definately run beyond its course on the track that is my attention span.

Yes I'm enjoying it. Easily the best CoD I've played since the first MW.

I'd recommend it only if your a fan of the franchise and/or you have friends to play with. I'd say try to find it cheap.

Not for care package.

But Napalm is like an Airstike with an after-effect, so that's fine.

Makes precision less needed. So you won't get shot calling it in.

I actually enjoyed the game far more than I thought I would. The new wager matches offer something slightly different.

However, I noticed you mentioned you were also considering Mass Effect 2? If so, I'd say pick that up. No MP, but SP has more to offer than Black Ops.

Yeah. It's less of a clusterfuck than MW2 and it's easier to do consistently well. It is a bit dull compared to the IW games though, both graphically and in the level of excitement it offers.

(of course, all of this is when the servers actually work and you don't get raped by lag)
Yeah, I would actually totally agree.

See what I did there?

Honestly, not entirely sure which lag you mean, because the only thing to ever fuck up my score was the game freeze-framing for a second. And to say that happened often would be lying.

The random disconnects are annoying though.

Yes, I'm enjoying it. Yes, it's a good game. Some details are even quite brilliant. But:
1) regarding the campaign, truth is spoken here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/8317-Review-Call-of-Duty-Black-Ops.2]
I would not judge by that review to be honest. Read the comments and how many people disagreed.
While the review was overly harsh (nod to AnAngryMoose)... I very much agree with this bit:
"[...] the 6 - 8 hour campaign feels like half gameplay, half cutscene [...]"
Anyways, OP's initial question was "will I waste my money?". Nah.

If you care even slightly for single player I'd recommend not getting it. I found it downright unenjoyable to play and I feel sad that I asked my parents to get me it for christmas, I'd rather have got new socks.

I was also shocked that it takes over a minute for each level to load after the cutscenes. I understand my laptop isn't the greatest gaming platform but it runs MW2 FINE and also I noticed MW2 also LOOKS BETTER. There's no excuse for it to run so poorly with, from what I can tell, a graphical downgrade. The first time I played I just assumed it had crashed it took so long for it to load.

The lag I'm referring is the 'ARGH I SHOT HIM TEN TIMES IN THE FUCKING FACE AND NOW I JUST DROP DEAD FROM ONE SHOT OF HIS PISTOL AND MY SCREEN DIDN'T EVEN GO RED I JUST DIED! AND THEN THIS GUY SHOOTS ME AFTER I GO AROUND THE CORNER! WHAT THE FUCK ARGH! BULLSHIT!'

Yeah I wasn't a fan of all the cut-scenes either. Another reason I prefer IW's campaigns.

Oh, yeah, that lag?

Believe me, sir, it is naturally specific only to you. Either that, or Treyarch have finally implemented the "lag" perk.

Played the single player, I realized then that it was the same cliches as every other new fps. OH NOE DEM COMMIES GON NUKE US, LETS LET A GUY WHO WAS CRAZY FIVE MINUTES AGO FLY A HELICOPTER. It's also the first game to make me feel sorry for the Nazis, but not the main character. It was quite a waste of money.

I like it. First CoD game I have bought. However it doesn't even come close to the spectacular funjoyland that was Battlefield 2.

It IS expensive, but my bro got it for me as a Christmas gift.

As it I like it as it's basically all the new stuff of MW2 yet taking out all the bullshit that the series has accumulated and is really represented as worse in MW2.

No more game ending nukes
No more killstreaks earning more killstreaks
No more Juggernaut or Stopping power (balance, yay)
No more ridiculously overpowered secondary weapons like the Raffica.

Though I will add that the knifing on Black Ops is insane, like everyone has commando-pro. But it's an equal advantage, knifing is so important now I've bound it to M2 (right click).

$60 for black ops vs $30 Demon's Souls + $20 Mass Effect 2

not that black ops is a bad game by any stretch; but if you are interested in those 2 it's very hard to recommend
