leelbuk Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 There are a few things wrong with Black Ops like the game spawning you right next to enemies but on the whole it's a great game - as good as MW2 I'd say just different, however if you are playing on a console I can see how it might feel a step back. On the PC, the fact that it is dedicated servers again and matchmaking has been abolished is reason enough to say BO is better than MW2.

Gaz6002 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I was playing MW2 the other day and the game got hacked - I got a message saying I had prestiged, and went up to the next level. Then I got a message from an unknown player saying for £15 he could give me unlimited everything and prestige 10. I didn't go for it, but I bet a few people have.

Matt H Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I've not played BO in ages as I'm sick of the online crashes and the time it takes to get into a game with my friends. I don't play MW2 either no as it's boring to me, but certainly offered more entertainment, but that may be because I was already bored on BO before it came out.

kill1308 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Really enjoying it on the PC lately, I had some initial problems with connection problems, frame-rates etc but the last few weeks it's been pretty much faultless for me. Out of all the CoD's though, I still think the original Modern Warfare (CoD4) is by far the best and most enjoyable one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Here's a video of what happened to me and the kind of B.S you can expect from Black Ops: 9NdmvbG8wPk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooley Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 septic you always take my pain away m8 i feel im the only one with such problems but that clip encapsulates everything that is currently wrong with the game at the moment..........and dont even get me going on drop shotting and last stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Oh drop-shotting and last stand- two more things that can break this game. When I did play BO I used last stand a lot because it is quite overpowered. Drop-shotting is something you have to really incorporate in your gameplay style if you want high killstreaks. Its very annoying when it happens to you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzle Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 just gettin back into Blops, yes there is the odd bit of BS but that happens with most shoot em ups but its like that for everyone, nothing like the hacks you encounter on mw2.. It does get a bit laggy when playin the french and yanks, so i just switch lobby if it gets ridiculous I don't play on my own only in parties and have found the patches have sorted most of the issues i was getting on 1st release.. If your the type of gamer who cries everytime he gets shot and blames lag or whatever, rather than a lack of his own skill, then it might not be for you.. likewise if you are a stat whore who is desperate to get to prestige 1,000,000 and feel a different icon next to your name proves something, you may well find it frustrating. If however you like a good game and a laugh with a few mates it's well worth a buy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozz Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I left BO for weeks after buying it, went back to MW2 for online playing. Completed the SP over xmas, was actually pretty good but still haven't ventured back online as it was truly dreadful on the PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Another glitch I've had with BO is the lack of blue arrows to identify 'friends'. It usually starts off with everyone being blue, but then as someone dies they often revert back to green. Very frustrating if you want to keep with your pack.

Tyson Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 its just an all round disappointment TBH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie1985 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Ozz, I was exactly the same, the first few weeks were awful and unplayable online. It got so bad that I couldn't even load a single map, it would take nearly 10 mins to load and then give me a message saying server disconnected from host. This, however, has all been sorted now. I can now play online with 60+ fps and low latency. The last few weeks I have really been enjoying the game so on the PC I would recommend it to anyone.

Nemesis Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Mostly agree with fizzle, however I have had the same sort of scenario as Septic, and I'm shouting "Oh F**k off" at the TV a lot more lately, this blops BS wasn't happening at first, I'm sure. Lot of commas, I know, pedants. Did not type shouting twice either, now what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 On the connection front, I can say hand on heart Ive only had 5 or 6 games with any sort of problems despite there being 800k players on Xbox live. As for cheats etc just have to accept it will happen I suppose but if blops gets as bad as MW2 Ill throw it in the bin as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing at all like that happens... Touch Wood.. I'll post up a vid of it from my PC give me a few mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hmmm. How do I get that hack Septic, the very same thing the other day, with no UAVs a guy tracked me through a wall and shot me as I rounded the corner. Septic I dont think anything will beat a game you, me Nev etc had on MW2 when those Americans died and turned into massive green shells and exploded lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozz Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I just tried it again, it is much improved. I've gone from finishing last every time to finishing 3, 1, 8, 1, 1, 5 so pretty happy. Still a little laggy but getting there. Still prefer MW2 atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
