Poll: BLack Ops Disappointment Top 21

[Calico93]

The campaign was alright, and ive got bored of the multiplayer.
My first and probably last COD game.
Probably trade it in too.

Shoo, that's kind of spoilers.

I would hide them if I were you, using the [*spoiler][/spoiler] thing without the "*".

Also, welcome to the Escapist.

I got Blops for xmas but only got round to playing it today (RDR and FNV are so awesome) and was quite frankly, dissapointed. Too many explosions, I didn't know what was going on because of all the explosions and when I tried to show initiative the game punished me for running off ahead. Its still fun but everything explodes and I liked the motorcyle chase bit but unlike 4 and WaW there are no pauses for something to actually happen. I liked 4 because of the british missions where stealth was more important than action. It seems that most cod missions that feature americans have to be hollywood explode-fests. Apart from that one in 4 where you search for Al Asad at first, there were explosions but important stuff happenned.

Heh. >_> Sorry. About as green as grass when it comes to forums.

It's not camping and kill whoring, it's tactical sitting and team-based objective avoidance!

Well, then Second Chance is a tactical fire diversion... tactic.

That's the spirit!

And Commando is tactical teleportation!

And RC Cars are strategic novelty toy warfare!

And the MP40 is calculated advantage giver!

Still, you should probably edit your post. It's unlikely that anyone cares by this point, but still...

And all of it - completely legitimate.

CoD is fun.

Fix'd.

1, Defend the flag yourself.
2, Either lag or you didn't actually hit him.
3, Agreed, the spawning is messed up.
4, Annoying yes, but a problem with the players not the game.
5, Plenty of reasons for this, including small maps and the hacker perk.
6, A high level doesn't mean a good teammate.
7, Its a fact of online FPS, sorry dude.
8, Ditto.
9, Agreed.
10, Double agreed.
11, Disagreed.
12, Double disagreed.
13, I see nothing wrong with them.
14, Mute button.
15, Lag.
16, Its funny to watch at least, sucks when your own team does it though.
17, Fact of life.
18, Defend it.
19, Its a sucky perk but easy to render useless.
20, Keep Nuketown, bring back Shipment. (Actually bring back the best maps of the whole series)
21, Doesn't happen much.

Well, that was fun.

You forgot to mention the actual set in stone problems with the multiplayer though, the overpowered weapons (AK74U Galil FAMAS Auto-pistol Upgrade Claymore) and unbalanced perks.

Your list is much better. But your last comment I disagree with, I feel that Black Ops is by far the most balanced CoD yet.

Sometimes I wonder if it would be as addictive without the rage

It is definitely the most balanced so far but there are still a few issues.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Addictive? Yeah.

As funny? Hell no.

 

[BioHazardMan]

COD always has excellent special/zombie modes and campaigns (save COD 3). Black Ops multiplayer is the biggest steaming pile of bullshit I've ever encountered.

Hehe for you maybe.

I do laugh at myself afterwards

 

[Dizzle26]

I can admit to raging a handful of times while playing BlOps or Modern Grenade 2 but that was usually because of my own mistakes. I learn so much from killcams. <3

Why does everybody complain about second chance? just kill him before he pulls out his pistol; his super invulnerability doesn't last long enough for him to unload his entire clip into you like last stand did. I also don't really have much problems with perks anymore, and only three of the guns you mentioned are overpowered (though I never have a problem with them). The CZ75 is actually crap when made full auto since it loses stopping power and you can already shoot that fast anyway if your finger's fast enough.

 

[Dizzle26]

Folks complain about Second Chance (myself included) because sometimes we don't expect our targets to just lay back and shoot us when they should be dead. >_> It takes some work, but give it a while and folks will just do follow-up shots like the rest of the online community.

Its not so much the other team using it but rather your own team.

It makes your teammates do the most stupid stuff, they'll get shot up, go into second chance and stay there waiting to get another kill until they bleed out a full 2 minutes later.

Its a cheap, stupid and unbalanced perk anyway, but its not much of an issue compared to the 74 or the FAMAS.

The full-auto pistol is still quite powerful and easy to use for a secondary.

 

[Aura Guardian]

The only issue I have with Black Ops is the Hit detection.

 

[zombiestrangler]

I agree with #5 mainly because I've played games with Ghost Pro and the enemy knew where I was at all times without the use of a Blackbird. My other major points are that the SP doesn't revolve around Dmitri and Victor and instead worry about Mason and his ambiguous accent and the fact that double tap STILL only for SMGs and zombies.

 

[AvsJoe]

I got nothing against BlOps. I've never been a fan of shooters but I'm enjoying this one well enough. Maybe it's because I'm actually okay at it; I'm usually terrible at Medal of Duty: Honor Call games.
