My ratings of recent COD releases (MP).

Black Ops: 6/10
MW2 7/10
WaW 8/10
MW1 9.5/10

I think Black Ops hurt the franchise and there will be many long time fans trading it in very quickly.

Time to start from scratch. Probably give this engine a break. Don't get me wrong. It's still better than most other arena style FPS to date. Should have been a budget title. Re-Skinned and New maps.

I can't believe they didn't improve the lame final kill cam and the f'd up take a party to lobby. It's entertaining to play, but over all for the I.P. it's just a bunch of fail.

yeah i'm not going to lie it looks like they too away from the graphics in this one. They sacrificed the graphics for all the new stuff like the emblem creation and all that other useless stuff.

that video fails. It says it's "An educational video on how to play Zombies". But they don't tell you how to do it. It's just game play.

I think they say that as a CYA thing, so they don't get sued for posting it so quickly. But they fail for that, that's a bit extreme, isn't it? And besides, if you can play the SP mode, then you can play zombie mode and MP mode just as easily. Point and shoot, right?! Good quality vid, imho. But the player sucks a bit, needs to watch his back a lot more!

It is right on the main menu when you start. I played last night, pretty good!

Also, anyone see get out of the chair yet in the menu? I did but wasn't sure what to type at the computer.

So it's not required that you complete the SP mode in order to get the zombie mode?? I think that was the case in WaW, IIRC.

Nope. I played zombie mode before even touching the regular game.

To many people complaining that it's not good, it is the same freaking game just with new updates,maps,features, and a little bit of graphics change. If you really think about it, it is the same online play like the rest of em. Good thing they did not change game play..... i give it a 5 out of 5 cause i love it. And i don't like fps games at all but this game is really fun. zombie mode online is just freaking awesome very fun. I have not played the campaign yet cause i am just having way to much fun online.

I meant to ask, are the same characters there? I hear Dempsey and Richtofen in the video above.

I only played by myself so it was Dempsey, but as usual his comments were brilliant.

I find myself getting smoked in multiplayer quite a bit, though I'm getting better.

My favored opinions, in comparison to MW2:

+No mass noob toobs
+Grenades are good, but have counters
+No mass claymores
+You can run away from crappy fights without getting killed in two hits
+Perks are setup so there are many awesome combos and you aren't necessarily gimped because you don't have a Stopping Power or Ninja setup
+Decoys, my favorite addition. Something to actually mess with radar whores, they've gotten me so many free kills

Negatives:

-Sub machine guns seem relatively weak, except the AK74U
-Noise to the point that you can't even use sound for a slight advantage, let alone sound whore
-Back to point one...it seems like once you learn burst control, nothing beats assault rifles (Famas is the best so far, for me) which is kind of lame. Maybe as I adapt, I'll change my opinion.
-Good anti-air is too late a level. IMO it should be a staple choice to have good anti air or a side arm at level 1
-Camping is back and stronger (motion sensor/explosive immunity). I'd really like to see a class setup that is anti camper, something as simple as hacker having you see the position of anyone using electronics on the mini map would be a nice start.

LOL!!

FPS's are not for everyone, I personally suck at them just like playin them...Been getting better at this one though. When I first started playing I had a K/D ratio of 0.35...it took some practice but I am at now 0.90....at least rent it before you judge it.

Plus with almost a million people online at any given time, its not hard to find a game.

Leveling up goes a lot quicker. That's a plus in my book. After a week into the MP I must say I have to kick MW2 down to a 6 and bump BO to a 7.5 for MP. It's just a better playing game. Oh, and I love reporting all the offensive Emblems I come across. Many have had me laughing pretty good.

once you hit level 40 it gets allot harder to level, but gives you a chance to work on contracts and achieves for points and credits.

I am at level 41 atm with over one day game time...I seen someone at level 38 (with 1 prestige already)

You are the type of person that blows my mind. The emblems are basically awesome and give you enjoyment, yet you report them.

Can't you join the kids and family friendly section of live, and leave people that want to have fun and don't give a damn alone?

Nope, the rules apply across all of Live. Until they limit who you play with online, based on section you pick (they won't), just the way it is. Not sure what they were thinking by allowing custom emblem creation anyways. They knew it would be trouble.

Video Game Rating System
The game is rated M for a reason...if parents allow there kids to play this game then its not our fault.

If parents let kids watch M rated movies then that is no different then either. Its not up to the movie, tv or video game industry to parent kids...its the parents job.

The reason we have rating systems is to HELP inform parents of content...and ignorance of the rating system is no excuse, it takes 1 minute to read what each rating means.

Anyone under 17 isn't suppose to be playing this anyway. Would you let a 12 year old to play GTA???

I guess my point being that if the emblem is offensive to kids then it shouldn't matter since this is a M rated game...if it is racist or something else that involves hate, then that is different.
