So Call of Duty Black Ops has been out for a while now.. some people love it and some people hate it..
Me .. ? I'm on the fence so to speak .. why..?
I don't know so maybe writing it down in Blog form may help .. and it may not either.
So Black ops was released back In November 2010 .. I was one of those fools that headed out at the ungodly hour of 10 pm at night to try and secure a copy.
Me and Friend make our way to the local excuse that is the Supermarket to stand in line.. we turn up and there is a fair few people in there already about 70 or so and this is at 11pm. By 12am its heaving to about 200 + so we manage to bag a copy and head home with the game Ive been waiting for what feels like a day and an age and Install to the HD ..
It boots up ..so far so good.. I head online ..Nuketown is up 1st.. and the obvious set ups for nOObs is there so I pick the SMG class and proceed to get my ass handed to me.. I think to myself I cannot play this like MW2 so take it slow and do better and laugh at the people who choose the sniper class STILL trying to quickscope .. I chuckle to myself FUCK YOU BIATCHES .. No scoping is dead..
Anyway I keep playing getting used to the mechanics but it just doesn't feel right or look right..is it because of the "Solid" more organic mechanics of MW2 still..the Graphics of MW2 looking good still to this day.
Either way I plod on But the cracks start to show after a week or so ..Horrendous lag.. the maps not being all that great .. Ballistic knife being terrible due to some weird and down right game robbing hit detection and that bastard stuttering this outing suffers from on every occasion along with some weird glitches.. and don't get me started on the sound !
Many a time I have seen a target in the distance and try to track them through ADS for them to just jump about 10 meters in the opposite direction .. or even worse disappear even though there is nothing for them to hide behind etc.
Well seeing as this has turned into a rant of sorts ..lets focus on the positives.. if you can call them that
First up Class selection .. not sure what to think in all honesty as it doeslet you choose what you want but cosmetic stuff like face paint and fancy red dots for you scope just don't cut it really for me along ..although Shotguns as a primary now is a good move.
I was looking forward to hardcore free for all but turned out to be pile of shite .. so CORE modes are the norm for me if i am ever to play .
I decided to trade it at the back end of December due to the frustrations pointed out and didn't look back ..then I seen my friends playing and felt a urge to play it again all the time but they seen the light as well in a sense and have almost gave up on it .. but they do still play now and again but feel the same frustrations as myself and the patches IMO don't seem to have done much except nerf a few guns.
Sure I was supposed to mention positives but not sure there is ..
I think in a sense it does win as I do feel the urge to want to play it but when I do after borrowing a copy ..I just feel all the old frustrations come back and don't want too and then it fails...and comes the vicious circle of wanting to play because everyone else is and then the FAIL that the game is kicks in ..and so on and so on .
Hopefully MW3 if it is actually a reality ..may restore my faith in the COD franchise but as such Black Ops has killed it ..
