Black Ops lacked the wow factor of MW2 but it is everything we wanted in MW2; zombies,a decent long-ish campaign, balanced multiplayer and lots of new content (5 map packs?). It is a good game for a cod fan.
It's okay:]. Not gonna have the lasting appeal of the previous games though, which is why I voted 'a little'.
At the end of the day, it's an old game series that's starting to get stale; these things happen.
Maybe it's time for Call Of Duty to die? I mean, they had to change some things to make it a new experience, even though some of the changes might not be for the best.
Ohwell, I know there is still fun to be had in the Barebones playlist...that stuff's balanced.
Also, the single-player campaign is very graphic, with bodies blowing up and other things. So I'm guessing you haven't played that?
Gonna go play some now, actually. One thing I will say is that online is only really much fun playing it competitively like I sometimes do, or at least playing with some mates. It's too bland and boring to play alone anymore.
That is all.

After MewTwo, I didn't even want to try BLops... That and how I heard it is the game that plays itself.
It did a better job then the train wreck known as Modern warfare 2. Apart from one gun, it feels reasonable in it's mutiplayer balance and the zombie mode is terrific fun. It's playerbase never cease to amaze me with it's vuglarity though, no wonder the playercards don't have the alphapet on them. The biggest annoyance is single player which went mad. Apart from some eariler missions the story was mental and not fitting with the period. Still, I got my money's worth. Also, I'm guessing you liked halo reach TC? In my opinion that game was bungie flipping the bird to hardcore fanbase in terms of it's story and then releasing the same shitty mutiplayer with even worse maps. Least Treyarch tried to change it up a bit.
Well I didn't actually pay for it so I found it enjoyable if not trying to hard to appeal to the 12 year olds that actually would enjoy the bullshitty campaign, seriously, I'm surprised they didn't throw titties in their to pander to the poeple who thought the campaign was awesome, no offense to anyone here.
But I digress, I had a good time with it despite thinking it wasn't really a good game.
So I voted "little bit"

Fanancially it was a mega success so I think it can only have failed in a very narrow sense of the term. I didn't buy it as I was let down by MW2 so it failed in making me buy it.
It might nothave co-op in story mode, and multiplayer is balanced out fairly well now, so I don't see why people are complaining. Oh, I'm sorry, did you want stopping power and juggernaut? Well, then, screw you, stay in modern warfare, and stop camping for the eight-millionth time!!! I think that the additions and adjustments were extremeley well. So, I say thatnk you, Treyarch, for such a good game and something to do over winter Break...
Not really, but it's very subjective on where you're coming from. Given the general view of CoD, I'd say people will regard it as a failure (being CoD and all), but if you look from a perspective of someone like me, who has played multiplayer quite a bit, you can say the campaign and the multiplayer was a step-up above MW2. It seems like it was made to satisfy the people that found MW2 to be a disappointing mess after it strayed from what CoD4 had established.
i don't agree, although i only started playing cod since MW1, i liked the single player story and the multi player was half decent - and the nazi zombies was great too, personally i have no problem with it
there were some things missing, but no it did not fail.
personally, i think it had the best campaign of the franchise. and you can really tell TreyArc is TRYING. people need to give them a break
Call of Duty 3 was completely terrible in every way
Call of Duty: World at War was great, and much improved
Call of Duty: Black Ops was awesome, and even more improved
what more can you ask for? at this rate, the CoD games that they develop in the future will be better and better.

Stop making these polls fixed! Title it neutral as in, 'your thoughts on Black Ops!' I see this all the time. And you end up getting a screwed up conclusion. Its almost as if you do it subconsciouslly.
And yes Black Ops is rubbish! It offers nothing new, since MW2.

My thoughts
I gave up on single player because it feels samey to every cod since cod4, with the ai almost doing exactly the same style of movements since cod4
I like that the multiplayer has been fix, but I was left somewhat disappointed map wise
Zombies was...zombies. I play one round and get bored.
Overall, Id say it was better than mw2, but it didnt draw me in. I played for about 5 hours and that was it. Maybe because cods jsut getting boring after all these releases.
Although i prefer Black ops gameplay, I like mw2 feel, mainly because it was ....modern...if only the game was balanced ><
