Why the Hatred for Black Ops?

I look forward to the day that the COD franchise goes the way of Guitar Hero and the like.
Maybe then we'll see something new and interesting.

Honestly, I had more fun with the Main Menu than the actual game itself. The very second I started the game up, I knew this was going to be a hopelessly-unbalanced, dumbed-down, clunky, inexcusably-buggy, game. And it was. And, you've got to be a pretty poor designer to make fighting nazi zombies in a (haunted?) house incredibly boring. How so? It's consitered bad if you can actually see what you're shooting. And that dead-ops arcade was just horrible. I'll stick with Geometry Wars, thank you very much. You know, the tremendously-superior game that Dead Ops shamelessly ripped off?
They don't seem to do research on what they're making. Others have noticed. For example, Modern Warfare 3 has some rather outdated guns (these guys are supposed to be on the cutting edge) and the World Trade Center is still there. It can't be "Modern" if it's over a decade out of date. Of course, what else can you expect from the guy that believes Spyro made his debut in Skylanders?Hazy992 said:
blops sucked for me because zombies [the one unique thing for treyarch] had a stupid emphasis on easter eggs. my friends never asked me to play for the fun of it, they always asked to play so they could do this new easter egg. it was just boring.
also, in multiplayer, the earlier guns were SO much better than the later ones. a good multiplayer game should have two types of weapons: -the "acquired taste" [AT]guns [ like the stoner, or the python] that were only good if you were skilled with them
-the all rounders [AR] [like the famas/galil] that could be used by anyone.
these should be peppered throughout the game to keep interest.
blops' weapon chart went like this:
-AR
-AR
-AR
-AR
-AT

The campaign was utter shit that hinged on the single plot twist towards the end and once you knew it the campaign wasn't really fun anymore.Hazzard said:
The multiplayer wasn't actually very good either which is interesting since they pretty much just have to copy and paste the previous years multiplayer just add a few guns.
I like the sp. Black ops featured a talking maincharacter(finally) and i liked the story way more than MW2 and 3. I hated especially 2. Soap was cool, his whole presentation made him a badass. Then in the final missions you can play as him and suddenly he is mute again. A mute pair of hands is what annoys me in many fps games.
Not my hate for BlOps. My hate stems from the story being just bad. Didn't really have anything going for it once the plot twist happened and was boring the second time through felt more like a chore playing through it than a game.Shadowstar38 said:
The multiplayer was just awful. The maps were probably the worst lay out so far.
I don't agree with you in the slightest about that either. You can prove some things if you try, I'm not good at it but I see it all the time. Also, you are missing the point as well, MAJORITY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING OBJECTIVE!!! I haven't given you a definition of good but if I made something more convincing than everyone else which I think you believe is impossible, I would win without a doubt. I don't think I would win much but if I just wanted to explain or even convince people of something then that is 100% possible. Understand? You can believe that, I don't and I don't that is going to convince anyone else either.Monoochrom said:
Racism and Sexism aren't objectively bad? Tell me, does the victims of these feel 'good' when they are put down and are seen as lesser beings? Or is them feeling good subjective as well?
That I can understand, I stop watching the news sometimes because some of the idiots on there piss me off so much. Now and again I just stop everything and focus on games or work.Sober Thal said:
Not of all it is mindless though, I think you probably just run into a bunch of immature jerks that just curse and ***** instead of putting any thought in what they write. I see it all the time too.
Personally Black Ops is my second favorite game in the series (behind cod4) because Treyarc decided to do somthing different and actually tried to do somthing different by not making everything revolve around what level you are or how many kills with a certain gun you got. Also I like how they tried to put in as many little Easter eggs as they could weather it be dead ops arcade, the numerous files you could find, or the ability to get the thundergun in the campaign, they know how to give somthing to those who look for it.
You didn't understand.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
If the weapons were complete upgrades, that means they shared some stats - basically they were the same weapon in another "shell". Identical weapons for the most part.
On the other side, they had significant changes only for the better. The point of "balance" is that if you "give" you have to "take" too. Only "giving" makes a weapon positively superior in every way.
Brilliant plot twist? That's entirely subjective, it doesn't surprise anyone who had already been exposed to Cold War spy novels.Aarowbeatsdragon said:
In fact, most of the complains about Blops is that they actually had the balls to try to throw snipers off their quickscoping game a little bit, alongside with trying out a new leveling system with the contracts and wagering. It was all fairly good additions.imahobbit4062 said:
People just didn't like it because it fucked with the quickscoping.
I never got the hatred either. It plays exactly like all the other COD games, so i never got how anyone can say any COD game has "better" or "worse" multiplayer than another. Though I will say the campaign was very, very scripted. A bit too scripted. I'm never a fan of clearing a room and waiting for an AI teammate to run ahead and open an unlocked door for me. And as for the game being too far-fetched in terms of the story and stuff, well, i never saw anything after COD4 as even trying to be realistic. It's just like an action movie; sure it doesnt make sense, but it looks cool so hey why not.
Well, you're wrong there.jaoblia said:
Black Ops was a true sequel, for better or worse, and drastically split the fan base because of how different it was.
Well, it honestly depends on what game type you were playing.MetallicaRulez0 said:
Search and Destroy and Demolition? They did not play well. But the way the game was made and the way the maps handled made Domination the best gametype out of all of these games. It's honestly what kept me playing for so long.
