I have played CoD 3 and MW on console, and Blops on PC.
CoD 3 had an ok single player but the multiplayer was extremely lacking.
MW was great. It had a solid single player and introduced weapon unlocks and levelling to the CoD franchise.
I tried the WaW demo on Xbox 360, but the terrible graphics burned my eyes when I looked at it. I don't understand how anyone could stand that. But lots of people liked it, so it must have been an improvement over CoD 3.
Then I switched to PC.
I didn't get MW2 because of the entire controversy around it. It was like the personification of bad console ports. No thanks.
But Black Ops? It's a great game. The single player is now atrocious, which is the reason for the low review scores, but the multiplayer is great fun. No, it's definitely not on par with Battlefield games. But it's still good, quick fun. And at least it's not MW2.
So I would say, thank god Treyarch isn't Infinity Ward yet. Infinity Ward got worse before exploding. I really hope that doesn't happen to Treyarch. They seem to be getting better and better. They won't be Infinity Ward until they completely screw over PC gamers, their CEO gets fired, and a lot of devs leave the company.
