hmm, how to tackle this one….
Pros
- The guns generally look cool, and on mp, buying camos/attachments is a nice feature. (+3 Brownie Points)
- On MP, maps having various aspects that change is kinda cool (opening a door, launching a missile etc) (+1 Brownie Point)
- Zombies have returned, which i dont think many will complain about (+2 Brownie Points)
- the SP story has a nice ending (+2 brownie points)
- Rolling stones songs!(+4 brownie points)
- Addressing various things fans were bitching about, grenade launchers spawn kills, TI boosting, quick-scoping (+3 brownie points)
Cons
- The invite/party system, RANT ALERT, possibilty of profane language!, Ok Treyarch, 2 years ago you released WaW, were a large percentage of your customers could not connect to certain friends, for no reason whatsoever, internet connection was definetely not the case! Now you never bothered to patch this (in my opinion, game-breaking bug (i want to play with friends after all!)). And in a recent reveal you promised a more improved party system. well i cant comment on the party system as i cant join one! 2 years to fix this and you havent bothered, that is completely pathetic! I can connect to one friend in Canada but not to 5 friends i know personally whom are al no more than 16 miles away from me, its not my internet, i can play connect to all friends easily in every other game except for this, WaW and the odd rockstar game RANT OVER (-5 brownie points!)
- That `samey feeling`-WaW felt fresh from CoD4, it was more sinister, guns were more challenging to use, body bits flew everywher, MW2 felt different aswell, guns looked more solid (if plasticky feeling) etc. BO, to me just feels like MW2 with different guns/online maps, sure for fans thats not too bad, but i'd have liked a few changes here and there, like someone else said, BF and KZ guns/graphics were nailed first time, they felt solid. I was expecting something similar with BO, but the only gun i've noticed with a good feel to it is the pistols that small bit of rumble from the controller after sprinting makes a difference to me…..(-3 brownie points)
- The SP- Oh look shoot enemies, clear room, repeat, every now and then do some slow-mo breach or an escort mission. Call the game `black ops` yet forget to put in a full level resolving around stealth. (-2 brownie points)
- Theater mode-small thing that annoys me, why cant we upload these vids and pics to our HDD? that would have been much more better and convienent for myself, or is there an option and im just missing it?(+/-0 Brownie Points, would be tight to knock one off i guess)
- Pointless things not mentioned in story-the word `Sallly` is quite clearly etched into the guys gun in all trailers, but im sure the name is never once mentioned (-1 Brownie Point)
- AI-I recently started playing through the game in veteran, hoping i'd get the gold trophy which decided not to unlock last time around, however (small spoiler, on 2nd level, in white just incase, highlight to read) killing Castro and trying to escape the house, Woods glitched by a wall and wouldnt move, i had to restart the whole level, as i reached a checkpoint when this happened, i tried again, same thing, this happened 3 times before i finally escaped on the C-130. Also trophies not unlocking is a pain as well! (-2 Brownie Points)
- An eminem song on Zombies (-2 brownie Points)
Total Brownie Points-0, oh what a coinc-ci-dinc! In my opinion this means the game is average, nothing breathtaking, nothing new, and something that still needs more tlc from the producers. IMO if they'd released a open beta in november to get bugs etc, then released the game spring/summer, then it would have definetely been at its full potential!
EDIT: Should mention, these are just my opinions!
EDIT number 2: Yes, theres quite a few typos in there, but i cannot be bothered going through it just yet!
and aye, they are both brilliant tunes with eminem in, well anything is with him in!
