I"m really not sure yet if I want to play it or not,Every now and then I like to get into a game that is relatively simple, that really doesn't require a commitment for ultimate satisfaction this usually means a multi-player game for me.So when COD 4 was coming out I thought to myself,"I could go for a good multi-player shooter to enjoy with my mates."
Well what was intentionally a purchase for no other reason than multi-player expecting the campaign to be nothing spectacular,but some good practice for MP.Well I got slapped in the face pretty damn hard because I loved the shit out of it.I never felt like it was to short it offered consistently awesome thrills through the length of the whole campaign and bowed out exactly when it needed to,it was exactly what i needed and made me look forward to the multi-player mode even more than before,which was well polished and entertained me for hours and the unexpected campaign just added so much more value to my purchase.
I only played a little bit of WaW just couldn't get into so I don't really have an opinion on it,and then MW2 is announced.So I decided to hold out indulging myself in a multi-player game feeling MW2 could deliver as good if not better than any other MP shooter I would've thought of buying also the same people who made the COD4 campaign are making this one so hey,this one should be pretty good,right.Not really,it's not that bad but definitely wasn't as good as COD4 in MW2 I felt like all the the set pieces that where suppose to blow me away where forced on me and most of them didn't seem relative to anything that was happening and yes they where a bit over the top for my taste.Yet again though I found the multi-player to be very entertaining amongst me and my friends, but those bastards didn't get into spec ops until I was done playing and from what everybody says they were very enjoyable,but overall I was satisfied.
Sadly it comes down to this,if I have that craving or if my buddies seem to be getting into it I'll probably pony up the cash for it,but really I'm not interested at all.I guess that means its safe to say I have no expectations for Black Ops so maybe just maybe It's capable of pulling a COD4 again and be pleasantly surprising...It probably won't.
