Call of Duty : Black Ops! Do you have it??

Just Learnin' · Dec 13, 2010, 04:42 PM

Feels like a bobsled run to me.

No Don't have it.

I do want it, but games aren't worth 60$. I'll wait for steam to put it on sale.

Finished SP, playing MP now. The SP campaign is basically a movie and every 5 minutes you get to move and kill some bad guys

. The storyline is better, but that's not saying much. The game's strength is in the MP, and I enjoy noob tubing other people. However, there are so many stuttering and freezing issues in MP that I cannot possibly justify the $50 I spent purchasing it. If you go to Steam's forums for Black Ops, there are many, many complaints from a wide array of PC specs.

It's really a sad day in gaming when companies release games prematurely and pray that future patching will somehow fix all problems. It's been going on for a while now, but honestly I've never ran into as many issues as Black Ops.

I feel the same way as I have also been having freezing issues as of late. I don't think I will be playing MP much longer.

I don't have it either too many games to play right now anyway. I'll wait until it's bargain bin.

I've got it, finished SP in 6 hours. I felt a bit underwhelmed by it, it was probably just me but I found it hard to follow the storyline, it wasn't as involving as MW2 was. The MP is alright, definitely a LOT harder than CoD4 (I skipped buying MW2 so no MP to compare).

I've gone back to Bad Company 2 because BLOPS crashes back to desktop randomly...

CJLMTLCA · Dec 20, 2010, 04:35 AM

I picked it up the other day and will be playing soon.

isaak, what catalyst are you running?

isaak · Dec 20, 2010, 05:45 AM

I'm on 10.11, it didn't even occur to me to update them... damn. But anyway, updating to 10.12 now, I'll see how it goes

CJLMTLCA · Jan 11, 2011, 11:54 PM

Finished! Clocked ~9hrs due to intel searching and enjoying the scenery in some places.

Good fun. I liked the Japan rooftops level and flying the heli was fun too.
Like usual i tried to guess some of the voice actors, only one i got this time was Ice Cube.

I will be replaying the levels where i missed some intel and totally forgot to try the cassette tape trick.

isaak · Jan 12, 2011, 12:06 AM

I hated the japan rooftops level and the flying

As for the MP, I tried it again last night. Was going well, but compared to BFBC2 which I have been playing lately, it was waaayy too fast paced so I couldn't keep up for long. I'll get back into it slowly but surely.
