Gamespot Review 8/10 Score
Main Theme by Trent Reznor <-awesome
people already know my opinion on new CoD’s, I haven’t played, but I expect it to be shit
It’s pretty hilarious how they accidentally shipped a Mass Effect 2 disc with the game.
I picked it up 'cause I’m doing a review. The single player is abysmal. It’s ugly, laughably written, and practically plays itself. The only FPS I’ve hated more than this in the last 5 years was Rogue Warrior.
That said, the muliplayer is pretty fun. I’ve mostly just been playing gun game, but I really like the levels and weapons so far. Still doesn’t even come close to making the game worth $60 though.
How’s Trent’s ost?
thank you for clearing any doubt that this is not worth it
Does it still have that feature where the weapon automatically snaps to an enemy when you aim down the sights?
I still find it hard to believe that they practically removed aiming from a linear first-person shooter.
He’s right, the single player is terrible. Not even hilariously so, just terrible.
I quite liked the storyline of Black Ops 1. It was over the top and historically inaccurate all over but it was fun and held a strong narrative. Black Ops 2 however is absolutely shit, Seemingly written by a group of teenagers for a high school writing class. I’d go into it but it isn’t worth the bother.
The gameplay itself however is. The scripting is awful by standards set 10 years ago, let alone todays. Friendlies will completely ignore enemies should the script tell them to move forward. Animations are even worse. Enemy helicopters, or any such vehicle will instantly explode into an ugly mess once its hit points are depleted. Enemies still have dying, peaking and general moving animations reminiscent of the original medal of honors.
Treyarchs attempt at RTS/FPS hybrid in the form of ‘strike force missions’ are, to put it bluntly, an absolute abomination. Unresponsive commands due to both poor input and having to control said terrible A.I would be the first and major problem / reason for not attempting such a thing. The layout of these ‘missions’ is also terrible, pitting you against endless supplies of enemies in which your outnumbered 20-1, in maps with very little cover as is. A clear indication the developers at Treyarch have simply not played an RTS game in the past 20 years.
The multiplayers problems consist not of bad level design, as they are actually quite well done. It’s the gun mechanics that let it down. Within the first two days the game has devolved into nothing but the highest rate of fire weapons being used exclusively, on account of there being practically zero recoil. Changes such as the pick 10 system are good, however it doesn’t offer up the kind of variety it could due to the rather absurdly long process to unlock everything on account of the target audience.
In game you have the endless UAVs, leaving you near enough constantly on the enemies radar, which in conjunction with the small, yet open maps leave you consistently unable to form any kind of tactical route or style of play. This again has seemingly been reinforced by Treyarch, who have added in stun mine gadgets, 360 proximity mines ( an upgrade from directional claymores ), ‘slow down beam’ scorestreaks and other such things. Which imo shows a lack of understanding when considering what challenges players whilst still being fun.
Added to that the community, whos idea of a tactics is to jump around every corner shooting or simply going prone the second they see someone, adds to the annoyance and feeling the game simply isn’t designed well, trying to be a tactical game whilst not overcoming the major problems that plague its attempts to do so.
I’l be playing it a bit more, but it’s more than likely going back. Trade it in now whilst I can still get something decent for it and put it towards GTA.
This kind of game is why I laughed at the faces of all the reviewers on the Net now. A bunch of tools.
You like COD? Play the first Black ops or COD4… I don’t like this series, but at least, these ones are fairly good compared to this piece of sh*t with a 6-years old scripted story. Oh, I forget, with plenty of glitches that spoil your fun too.
I think this game is the beginning of the end, just like how the Guitar Hero series died.
Activision have a reputation of a franchise-killer.
What?? Aw, man… that was the only part of this game that I was even remotely intrigued about… 
I didn’t even plan on getting BO1. My cousin just so happens to be the manager of his local GameStop (and also a former Marine), and he “happened” to stop by a party with his “work” (a nice pile of tons of games to play and get familiar with). One of those happened to be Black Ops. He just said I could keep it. I didn’t really complain… it was a free game, so I just played it. It was meh okay, I guess… but doesn’t really compare to CoD4MW1, IMO.
At least it was free though. Maybe he’ll just happen to “stop by” with his “work” again one of these days… yeah… 
heres my opinion on black ops 2:
at least they tried (sort of)
but there is still good in the game

I tried out some local multiplayer for BO2’s GunGame mode (or “arms race,” or whatever the fuck they call it). The base combat mechanics are still very much bog standard CoD. If anyone here has the PC version of CoD4 I’m up for playing it during the week.
I played the campaign, felt like I was watching an over-the-top action movie.
Wait wait wait, they really changed it to Arms Race?
Seriously?
No, it’s Gun Game.
Okay good. God damn it, Ken.
Allright, so I mixed up Black Ops 2’s ripoff of CS gun game mods with CS:GO’s identical mode to the original gungame mods with a new name. Sue me.
I boycott Activision(For various reasons), and as such I have still never played a CoD game…
Gotta say though, this one looks better than MW3. I think I saw people riding horses while shooting robots in the trailer, so it can’t be 100% bad xD
The game’s called Black Cops, but there’s no cops in it. It sucks!
I heard some stuff about it, and enough not to actually bother playing it myself. And for reason, I say Medal of Honor is back in the saddle with kicking CoD’s ass.
Watched a review for it on Good Game; I reckon they’re really CoD-biased. Also, it looks like shit. I’m surprised this is where most of the graphics nerds come from, I’ve seen Dreamcast games that look better!
