MW2 is so much more fun than BO.

BO is just same-y brown/grey maps with guns which aren't fun to use (In my opinion).

I had so so so so much more fun playing MW2. It was a game where you could really just screw around (without being a douchebag and exploiting mechanics). It was a game that was incredibly to fun when playing with a lot of your friends. Also I noticed that on PC that the menu interface was so much clearer, faster and easier to use on MW2. You could easily get a friend to join your party, and get straight into a game. Opposed to all the time it takes to find a server in Black Ops that isn't 24/7 nuke town.

I have to give it to MW2 for me personally.
MW2 has more weapons and almost all of them are actually viable. In BOPs there's maybe 3-4 guns that almost everyone uses and the rest are bleh and odds are you will get a kill or two but be at a pretty big disadvantage.
MW2 the killstreaks while a bit strong at least they got you some kills. In BOPs they are more like toys that will get you another kill or two, seriously with the amount of cover on most maps you might as well just pick the lowest kill streaks. Hell I've found the spy plane to be 10x more useful than napalm or mortars (unless you're playing Nuketown then most kill streaks are insane).
I also liked the MW2 maps, they feel more diverse and actually had decent cover. BOPs, every other part of the map feels overly exposed, you really can't get a good spot without being exposed from at least 2 other fronts.
BOPs also seems a lot more twitcher for me, most fights end in a snap of your fingers and it is usually the person who fired first that wins out.
I also question the amount of legit player (at least on the PC) for BOPS, there are way too many people that are able to snap from target to target way too fast and way too accurately. I've watched several "pro" videos and even they overshoot or undershoot everyso often, but you watch cams in BOPs and there's always 1 or 2 guys that border questionable and it gets really frustrating.

Planetside, CoD 4, Battlefield, BF: Bad Company 2, Global Agenda. There's plenty of better ways to spend your time.

Never expected you to say Blops was boring. I thought you would have liked the balance.

I like Blops, I like all the maps, the guns are all great (there is the odd overpowered one but there not too over the top), the kill streaks are good. The only things I don't like is the perks, Ghost doesn't work first of all.

The customisation isn't that great either, they have loads of really odd pictures that can't really be made into a good looking picture. Some people have amazing embalems though, I guess I am not creative enough.

Most of the face paints suck, to get 3 of the best ones you have to buy 15 shit ones.

MW2 will make you rage quit often, black ops doesn't seem as fun for some reason though (it is still fun though).

Doesn't matter which game is the best, both games have people who massively rage when they are killed by a noob tube. Some Black-ops servers ban people who use them.

I would go with Black Ops, purely because it's the newest so more people will be playing it (so I find on MW2 Vs. BLOPS on PS3)

MW2 is full of hacked lobbies and glitchs now, too.

For the single player campaign I heartily recommmend Black Ops, as it was fairly interesting and at least attempted to be different.

For the multiplayer i'd say Black Ops again, much less broken than MW2. And the customisation options are waaaaay better than MW2, each gun feels more personal.

So yeah BlOps all the way.

Modern Warfare 2 isn't a game, it's a griefing engine disguised as a game. Go for black ops or bad company 2

I like the feel of MW2 better. It just seems more polished and smoother. MW2 has a much better GUI layout and design. MW2 has better single player and co-op with the spec-ops mode.

The only thing I like better in BlOps is the extra features in multiplayer such as the theatre thing and the wager matches. I personally find the excessive gun customisation options in BlOps a bit too gimmicky.

I'll be honest I absolutely haaaaated the Black Ops Single Player, the story was confusing as all hell and just generally lousy.
In Multiplayer I am a lot better at BlOps, but on MW2 I seemed to have more fun, as well as being able to use a sniper rifle effectively. That said the wager matches in Black Ops are great fun. (especially Sticks and Stones and One In The Chamber)

Yeah, I dunno what it is. It just got repetitive really fast. I have better stats and get better games in Black Ops than any other COD but I still just find it kinda dull and boring (and bloody ugly too).

Perhaps its how slow the game moves compared to the pandemonium of MW2, perhaps its just I've become a bit tired of COD in general. It also happened to coincide with my long overdue personal revelation that getting good at a multiplayer game means absolutely nothing in real life and isn't worth spending so much time to do, which thankfully eased my constant COD compulsion a bit.

Neither for Bad Company 2 is better.
Accually Half life 2 is better.....
My point is that those two games are totally diffrent comparing them with each other is stupid.

To the accual question, I had more fun with MW2 then BlOps I can´t really explain why.
MW2 felt like a concrete wall and BlOps felt like a sheet of paper.

Edit: Sorry, wrote more than I thought I would. The first and last paragraph sum it up fairly well, if you don't want to read it all.

Personally, I found I had a lot more fun in MW2 than Black Ops, even with all the cheating-level glitches that cropped up. This probably has a lot to do with my style of play; I tend to use single shot weapons, be they semi-auto or bolt action. I like the accuracy of them.

Because of that, I found Black Ops to be annoying as hell. None of the single shot weapons actually make sense. Sure, the M14 and the FAL are kinda powerful, but they're inaccurate as hell. The AK47 has a better overall accuracy than either of them, along with a similar amount of damage per bullet, which makes absolutely no sense in my mind.

Snipers are also broken, and not in the way that makes them all-powerful. Scoping up doesn't put the center of the sight anywhere near the middle of your screen, and you're lucky if you get a one shot kill with any of them (something which doesn't make sense, realistically or balance wise, for most of the snipers). Top that off with maps that are made to cater towards CQC with the occasional medium-range hallway thrown in and you've got a game that really isn't my style.

Another thing that bugged me about the guns is the order you get them in. Generally, the weapons you get later on in the leveling up system are better than those early on. While that makes sense as far as "the longer you play the more we'll reward you" goes, it makes it so that there's little point to prestigeing except to go to the prestige only gametypes (which doesn't really have much appeal to me...). World at War was the same way in my mind, and I never prestiged in that one either.

Combine that with an overall degradation in graphics, single player storyline, and a variety of glitches and flaws that makes it the game's fault that you get screwed over (I literally spawned right in front of an already-thrown tomahawk yesterday, and in between two enemies that were both facing where I spawned) and not the fault of idiots exploiting glitches and I really found it to be a lot more annoying than MW2's multi.

However, the additions are fun. I thoroughly enjoy the wager matches, and the customization you get with face paint, gun colors, emblems and clan tags are all awesome. Also, on the other side, MW2 can be rather sniper heavy at times, and there are some issues with being able to Falcon Punch people from about ten feet away with a knife. There also seem to be a lot more people who using annoying tactics to win (i.e. tactical knife/lightweight combos and noob tubes).

Overall, I'd say it's a matter of personal preference. If you don't mind getting screwed over by the game every once in a while, prefer CQC to long range combat, don't mind working a bit harder to get the "good" guns, and enjoy a more traditionally "balanced" game as far as player-to-player goes, Black Ops is better. However, if you enjoy mid to long range combat as much as CQC, don't mind annoying or "noob" tactics (personally, I always love the feeling I get from headshotting a tactical knifer just as he's about to Falcon Punch me), like maps that are more varied and better designed, and prefer a more balanced progression system, MW2 is better.

That sums up my opinion. I haven't touched Black Ops in weeks.
I'm not even sure that MW2 is more rage-inducing. Black Ops lag-mitigation/hit detection are awful, and missing a sniper shot when you're scoped in, breath held and steady because you take it the moment the scope stops wavering but before the magical time when your rifle becomes accurate is about as infuriating as it gets.

For the first month that Black Ops was out, I would have voted for Black Ops in a heartbeat. The contracts system is really neat, and they did some new things with the CoD formula. But I haven't played in weeks because it lacks something. The maps were pretty bad as well. There were maybe two maps that being a sniper was feasible and even there you were extremely limited.

With Black Ops,in terms of fun, I have never really hit the lows that I did with MW2, but I have never really hit the highs either.

I can't really decide.

I think MW2 has a better campaign and I think that the multiplayer is better. The graphics are better for MW2 which in my opinion makes the multiplayer better cause I can actually see the other bodies better.
