I know a couple kids that said their classes were empty on Weds. Mainly all the boys weren't there and were home playing CoD.

i thought the SP story line was a ton better than MW2, which stunk IMO. Treyarch did a much better job with it then IW did.
if you thought the AI stunk, maybe you should play it on something besides easy....just sayin.

there are more weapons in Black Ops, but their sound and shooting characteristics arent as good as MW2.
ive only played one game out off 150 that had lag and the host was booted after a few minutes thankfully
i'm sorry I kicked your dog, but I thought 'merka being invaded by ruskies was way more creative than "hey I was in nam and now i'm a tweaker". And the team AI sucked, not the enemies. That was OK, but when a guy just walks right past your teammate, it's a little wacky.

I'm glad you're so fortunate with your lag situation....nope, I don't care.

yeah it was so creative that its been done before. a brainwashed black ops guy seeking revenge, cant recall the last time thats been done.


its easy to blame lag on the game when its obviously not your connection.

do i laugh because you feel you wasted $60+....yep

my 45-60 ping is not causing the lag. My 40-60 ping in CSS, MW1, L4D, etc does not cause me lag in those games. It's likely some sort of glitch with my processor or video card, but my machine has no trouble with any other game...

That's exactly what I heard but saying "half" made it more believable. The actual wording was "he was the only guy in class that day". Wow...online combat kills kids brAnzuh!:(

Is anyone else having massive connection problems? I've been able to connect to one game tonight after trying approximately 25 times.

Yes. 360? It's even worse trying to start with a group.
Clearly you've not been keeping up with the expert on the matter...

And I still say Treyarch blows compared to IW in regard to overall experience. They should stick to the tony hawk franchise. (I do not plan on purchasing Black Ops btw)

sounds like a 360. havent heard any PS3 issues with the game.
have you played the game? no? your opinion matters then. no really, it does.

you should pass on your review to you the game-review mags, theyll be glad you did im sure :thumb:

I don't really know what you're trying to say here, but a tweaker CIA special operative going up a river in a boat, blowing up everything in his path, all to kill a rogue government agent...they should turn that into a movie! oh wait... or the russian roulette part! That would be awesome if they made a movie out of....oh wait. Come on, they hashed together every vietnam movie they watched in high school and threw in some james bond for good measure. They did it well, don't get me wrong, but the whole "think outside the box" thing evaded them.

Also, the historical inaccuracies were killing me. The SPAS-12 wasn't designed until the late 70s, not 68. The G11 wasn't even developed until the late 70s/early 80s. The MP5k, the AUG....they couldn't do a tiny bit of research to figure out what was actually around back then?

I assure you that my inability to connect to a match isn't due to my internet connection. A quick google search reveals that it's a common problem. Hope they come out with a patch soon.

A brand new hugely popular online multiplier game is having server lag at launch?!

And a **** single player game was thrown in to play just to have something there for the people crying about lag?!

I played it for 15 minutes at a buddy's place yesterday. I decided to do something productive (drink beer) and watch him clunk his way through instead of wasting my time on it.

No graphical improvement over MW2 (in fact it actually sucks more...). The gun sounds are crap compared to MW2...some of them sound like someone hitting a pan with a drumstick instead of a weapon of death...I'm with sandwich on the team AI...bleh. He didn't even attempt to show me the MP because he was having the same issues as everyone else here.

I never consult game review mags. I also never read movie reviews. My experience is my experience. Treyarch should stick to Tony Hawk. Don't mess with my "war" experience.

I guess I'm the dumbass for buying the game for the single player, huh?
i "bought" the game for the single player too. :rofl:

If my main comp weren't being such a whore and crashing all the time (corrupted main user profile that i'm too stupid to stop using...) i'd be having more fun with it.

my verdict is MW2>Black Ops

but as I said before StarcraftII is holding my attention.

Oh, and consoles suck :p

Played a few rounds of MW2 earlier to convince myself out of buying it because I normally get so aggravated with it I rage quit but I actually went 11-2 and 12-4 this is after not playing for several months and my score is normally the opposite of that... perhaps it's a sign?

oh and lol at people arguing about which video game is better.

BO was crap. MW3 isn't perfect, but it's 10x the game BO is. I'm guessing BO is a lot easier now that nobody good is playing?

and BlOps is/was? :rolleyes:
It was worth my $20 buying it used. I'm not super impressed with it but it's a good time waster. Especially Nazi Zombies. Campaign mode sucks, and Multiplayer is ok, but nobody ever changes up what they do so I can just run laps on the map and rack up kills so it gets boring after a while.

Edit:

This.

Nazi Zombies!! I just hit level 26 solo. What's your best?

Which map? Solo I hit 30 on everything but five, 40 with a friend except for five, I think we got to like 25 on there.

Then again, I never really even played B ops, all I ever really played with my homies was zombies
