It's a Treyarch production, all the games sofar were a great steaming turd on the series, I have no intention of supporting them.

Because I enjoy running around and shooting people with modern weapons in games. Because, not including a few rounds of Gun Game on CSS a couple years back, Modern Warfare 2 has been the most multiplayer fun I've ever had. And the new currency system really strikes a chord with the customisation-whore part of me.
where's the 'all of the above' option?
particular highlight for me will probably be the wager matches, assuming currency is genuinely worth anything (as the adverts i've seen suggest). i can already imagine my friends threatening revenge over live

I'm not. I have no interest in competitive online play and I'm not going to pay 60 bucks for another 3-4 hours of singleplayer campaign. I'm likely to download it, play the campaign and then toss it off my harddrive. Maybe if the campaign turns out really REALLY good I'll buy it when it's on the discount shelves next year.
Whoa man! Awesome! Where did you hear this?Ldude893 said:
EDIT: Wait...are you being sarcastic or something...?
Modern Warfare 2 left a rotten garbage dump in my mouth after playing through it's campaign and multiplayer, so I'm waiting this one out to see if it really lives up to it's hype. Then again, nothing ever does.
i wont buy it till it proves it has quality again, besides a fun sp, and zombies. if it's JUST that, i can wait till it's 5-10$
My buying Black Ops or not almost entirely depends on whether or not one of my friends is willing to play split screen. I don't have xbox live, and we played Modern Warfare 2 splitscreen together for around 25 hours total, until he refused to play ever again after I owned him particularly hard one day. If he's willing to play as much splitscreen as we did in MW2, I'm definitely buying it.
I don't like FPS.
So definitely not getting it.

Because despite my huge amounts of skeptism it looks like it's going to fix a lot that was wrong with MW2, especially multiplayer-wise. At least I hope so, I still kinda fear the overpoweredness of the ballistic knife.
The singleplayer looks pretty entertaining though, but I hope it's a bit longer than MW2's. Even though I still enjoyed it. Yes it was short and the story was convulsed bullshit, but damn it was one big adrenaline rush.
That said, I probably won't get it on launch day. I first want to see reports about things like multiplayer balance, my biggest gripe with MW2. And the crappy spawn system. Spawning right in front of a minigun that's just being spun up? Really?
Also remember that MW2 wasn't developed by the same developer as Black Ops.

It's not even out yet and you haven't played it yet, yet you call it shitty. That actually makes me kinda sad, that people still do that here.TomLikesGuitar said:

+1 to the +1, also, not getting it, waste of money and all that while there's other, perfectly good games out there that I still need to buy. Like Ass.creed 27moreDead said:+1 for The Offspring...I am getting cause it has to be better than that hunk of garbage the has filled the void. Plus its getting gifted too me
You didn't list my reason: multiplayer bots. I don't care about anything else in the game (though I'm sure it'll be on par with World At War) but the mere fact that this could bring multiplayer bots back into mainstream FPS use is something I feel compelled to support to the fullest.
And that's where a relatively objective analyse breaks down in opinion. I never said it was going to be innovative with a superb in-depth story and whatnot, I don't care either. I don't buy an FPS for that, if I want that I'll play Planescape: Torment (well except the graphics part, but if I want that I'll play Uncharted 2).TomLikesGuitar said:
No, I buy games like MW2, BO and Bad Company 2 because I just want to be entertained. And while I enjoyed MW2 at the start, I found out later that it just didn't work properly. I'm starting to, slightly, look forward to BO because it seems to be working better than MW2. But as I don't know that for sure I'll wait for some reviews and comments by players on this site, especially MiracleOfSound.
But as it's looking now, Treyarch doesn't want to fall into the same pits IW fell into and to me that's pretty good news. They seem to have learned from IW's mistakes; dedicated servers, multiplayer bots, balance testing, etc. But I want to know for sure before I shell out for it.
Umm, JFK Zombies is reason 1-10 and then they've re-balanced it,
And because I'd like my initials engraved on my Machine-Gun...

as if Activision would let that happen. There's gonna be 1 per year minimum for a long time, because people still buy it if has Call Of Duty written on the box.
