I'm buying it because I've always enjoyed the CoD singleplayer campaigns. Though I'm very unsure about getting it for the PC or for my PS3... If only there was a list of pro's and cons somewhere or something D:
Poll: Why are you buying Black Ops?

There are several reasons I am Buying Black Ops. I really hadn't planned to but they've done so much right that I will give it a try.
First if all Nazi Zombies is back which kicks Spec-Ops ass any day.
Second they've removed most of the bullshit from the multiplayer like killstreaks creating killstreaks, Juggernaut and Stopping power, deathstreaks, Commando, Sonic Boom/Fireworks/ Danger Close.
Also the campaign at least has an excuse for being a James Bond game since it about BLACK OPS.

If they play consoles they're probably lying, seeing as most console players immediately grab the latest thing, which I guess is understandable, try find an match on anything other than the latest Halo or CoD game.The3Apocalypses said:
If they play PC they may not be, seeing as there are a lot more options for games.
What I mean is most of those who often play consoles will undoubtedly buy it.
Halo Reach is out. That's my reasoning. I've got my shooter-quota filled for awhile. Maybe once the game hits $20 I'll consider checking it out, as it looks pretty good. But I'm fine with Reach.
The zombies mode is most tempting, but not enough to make me rush out and get it full price.

It is actually very easy to find a Halo 3 or COD: Modern Warfare/World At War match online, so I doubt that anyone is lying for that purpose. I played some Halo 3 online about a week or so ago for a few matches. Only took about 2 minutes to find a match, and my connection speed is terrible.IBlackKiteI said:
Mainly because of the whole Nazi zombie play as JFK thing. I'm pretty excited for that. Btw, if you want me to fairly answer the poll, don't add all the girlies say I'm pretty fly for a white guy. Because I will choose that every time.
I have liked every CoD thus far so why not? Its really the only multiplayer I can continue playing for a long time.
I'm getting it because I've hardly ever seen a game in that time period. Next, I love Treyarch and their zombie modes.
Oh, it has motherfucking Scorpions too.

Pre-ordered around a month ago with my friend.
We laughed hysterically at the first release trailer, commening on how we'd never buy it.
A week later we pondered it again.
Another few days and we decided to pre-order it, expecting a game as bad as modern warfare.
We were kind of excited to tear it to shreds and see how many more bugs could be fit into one game.
Although a lot of recent anouncements made it more interesting.
The removal of stopping power and juggernaut.
Quick scoping getting nerfed.
Shotguns as primary.
Prone diving and cool down.
Although I have to admit gungame sounded great to me.
As an avid CS player, I've wanted a proper remake for ages, and Black Ops seems like it's going to do a good job.

I'm not, not a COD fan, or really an FPS fan.
If I wanted to play it, I have plenty of friends whose houses I can go to.

Will not get it.
Treyarch has with WaW proven that they're only good for releasing a horrible, broken mess of a game. Yes, WaW was cool, but they forgot rule #1 of immersion.
No invisible walls in open fucking doorways!
Well, yes, you have an enemy spawn in there... but that house surely could provide some much-needed cover from grenades nd bullets and the like.
Shoddy game design like that... no... never. WaW does clearly top my list of "stuff I deeply regret paying for".
As such, why on earth would I entrust them with more of my money?

The commercial for it had It's Just a Shot Away playing.
That was when my mental shielding which had prevented me from even thinking about buying the game failed.
NOW I NEED IT!

I'm not. I'm not interested in multiplayer, nor am I interested in torture sequences, harsh language, splattering blood, or indeed, a war shooter.
I'm waiting to have enough money to buy Civilization V.
