Personally I found Call of Duty Black Ops to be a great game, possibly the best in the series.

However there are many who would like to disagree, and many who would not.

The simple reason I like it so much is because, its fun.
Theres no more mindless grenade spam, quickscoping, getting sniped by a shotgun, 1/4 mile knife lunging etc.
Treyarch has fixed practically all the problems MW2 refused to fix, or rather created itself.

Among the changes and tweaks other than new content was thing pretty bad to many players.
The 'gimping' of sniper rifles.

You now have to ACTUALLY snipe rather than running up and abusing auto-aim and cutting down an entire team of dudes within a few seconds just because you have a hugely overpowered gun.

And for not so much fixing, but making it what it should be Treyarch seems to have become hated by much of the CoD community.
Which sucks seeing as they at least tried to make a decent game.

Also, irrelevant to sniping is the fact that Black Ops has been given some sucky reviews for being a good game, including one from this very website.

Of course what is good is a matter of opinion, but I ask you, my friend, would you rather a game which is void of the significant problems of its predecessor(s), or would you rather the game with those problems?

The review on the Escapist was more aimed towards the campaign mode, which, honestly, doesn't have particularly great voice acting, and does have quite a bit of player blindness.

But yeah, it's still a fun game. Not sure if it's better than COD4 yet though....

I think the fact that no-one has yet posted on your thread shows how good it is! They're all too busy playing the damn game!

You do make some good points though, MW2 is woefully unbalanced, with much of the online experience and exercise in sustained griefing (which is not fun), I've always said that I preferred Killzone 2's MP to MW2's, because it encourages teamwork, and is consistently different thanks to it's changing objectives, however Black Ops has surprised me with just how good it is.

I didn't like MW2 all that much, and I haven't played Black Ops and probably won't. It's not that it doesn't look like a cool game, but I'm growing increasingly tired of the war games.

The last war game I played and actually liked was Cod: World at War. Of course, I'm not big on the multiplayer games. Or rather, I'm sick of the "team" games in which there is nothing even close to resembling teamwork. The closest thing to online multiplayer I play is Nazi Zombies and occasionally some co-op stuff with a few friends of mine.

I haven't played Black Ops yet, I will probably buy it after the Holiday season. I keep seeing more and more things that I like in it.

I'm certainly preferring it to Modern Warfare 2 and World at War. Only time will really tell if I enjoy it more than I did Modern Warfare.

I'm liking the campaign though.
