Roughly 20 hours combined single and multiplayer.
I just couldn't get into Black Ops. The story was pretty crappy, I hated the multiplayer maps (pretty much all of them, which is a rarity for me), I hated how sluggish movement felt compared to Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2, I hated how it felt like there was no real incentive to use anything other than the AKS-74U or FAMAS in multiplayer, I hated that one of the most effective strategies in multiplayer equates to a retarded combat dive straight out of a bad John Woo movie, I hated the ridiculous number of historical anachronisms in the game, I could go on, really... but it's just not worth it.
It's not that I hate the CoD series or anything. I've devoted way more time to MW/MW2 than I'd like to admit publicly (or even to myself)... I just couldn't really get into BO. To me it felt like a cheap imitation. Like one of those Chinese-made knock-off designer watches people buy on street corners thinking that they're getting a great deal on a Rolex.
The game just wasn't particularly fun to me. To each their own, I guess.
