Graphics-89/Sound-90/Controls-88/Blast Force-83/Overall=88 I must say the graphics take a hit in this one but are still quite good, but it's the audio that make it great from a presentation standpoint. Dialogue and weapon effects are quite impressive. I haven't messed with the solo mode so much but Black Ops zombies is so-so with the best already behind it (get your hardened/prestige editions kiddies). W/O those original maps, the mode loses it's appeal really fast! Of course combat training is an amazing addition, and certain offline modes allow you to fiddle around with pro perks right off the bat! Unfortunately, online is riddled with bugs. Not hacks, just terrible host selection/migration, unstable server connections, and other quirks regarding the clan tags and playercards. I don't think the customization was well utilized here, and the pro perks are kind of mundane. In a way, they're harder to aquire, and worse, many aren't worth the trouble, such as Hardened, Flack Jacket, and even Steady Aim Pro, just for the simple fact that they aren't much more powerful than the standard variants. Why would I go through a half-dozen plus runs of Nuketown/Demolition/Search & Destroy just to be able to absorb infinite Flammenwerfer (ha, you can tell what I like!) damage with my pro armor, when I can still resist RC-XD's, Grenades, RPG's, and yes, full immunity to 1 (one) enemy claymore (2'll get ya, though! :p)? I thought so, and the difference is a measly 6000XP, and 3000 point cost for upgrade! I'll tell you I'm 3rd prestige, so I've seen much horror and triumph on the global battlefield, and when the connection is stable this game is very, very balanced! As stated before, there are work-arounds (counters) to almost everything, like the lethal claymore (flack jacket/hacker), the SEMI-AUTOMATIC SPAS WITH SUPPRESSOR, and even dogs can be shot fairly easily (have I even died three times???) Just get your Ghost up because when they GET TO THA CHOPPA!, it could be the only thing to save your hide!Read full review
I became a huge fan of this series after playing the highly addictive online multi-player game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Black Ops was released and I wanted to get some feedback from players after checking the game out before I purchased it. There was a lot of mixed reviews but it seemed that everybody I usually play online with had stopped playing Modern Warfare 2 and had started playing Black Ops so I purchased it. At first glance the graphics aren't as crisp as MW2, the online play however provides options where you can purchase the weapons and accessories that you feel comfortable playing with instead of only being able to unlock them by leveling up. Overall the levels are fun to play and it seems that whether you are a beginner or a veteran this game has a pretty level playing field.Read full review
I read the reviews elsewhere on this and I was not sure if I was going to get it. I think they were wrong. I own Call of Duty Modern WarFare 2 for the PlayStation 3. Reviews said Call of Duty 3 was "More of the Same". I don't know if it is the PS3 or the Duty 3, but this game is alot better than Duty 4 on my PS3. The Smoke effects are better. The Water is amazing... Damn shot again starring at the water... I noticed something in Resistance Fall of Man that is also present in this game, Everything is alive. The Grass whisps in the wind, this makes the environment come alive. I think Resistance does the Ambiance better, but it is nicely done here too. Swinging the Sixaxis as if to do a Rifle Butt causes your on screen character to do a Rifle Butt... Cool... The Driving Sequences using the Sixaxis takes a little getting used to, however you can still drive via the Analog stick as well. Graphics are Very nice, I did not see the Frame Rate Problems spoke of by the Reviewer. The Sound is very good. I did not give the Sound a 10 though because after playing Resistance where there is more clips of audio from the AI characters, I found hearing the same thing over and over again to be very "Last Gen" of Course my "Next Gen" 360 has the same problem. I think it stems from people starting to use the Extra capacity available on the BluRay disc. Free Online Thanks to Sony. Goodbye XBox Live. Until Microsoft gives Live for Free, I will not renew. The Microsoft Fanboys keep trying to convince me that the Xbox Live is somehow better, well... after using them both I can not see the "greatness" that constitutes $50 a year. If you liked Call of Duty 4, You will love Call of Duty 6 MW2. Man I could sit here all day Whiping my Sixaxis all day. Rifle Butt. Rifle Butt. Yes. Yes. Yes. I hope they keep adding these little touches to the Future PS3 games.Read full review
Black Ops is a first-person shooter. The player assumes the role of a foot soldier who can wield various firearms, of which two at a time can be carried; throw grenades and other explosives; and use other equipment as weapons. A player close enough to an enemy can kill with one knife blow. A character can take three stances: standing, crouching, or prone; each affects rate of movement, accuracy, and stealth. The player can dive prone from a standing position when running. The player can momentarily sprint but will then grow tired. The screen glows red to indicate damage to a player's health, which goes away over time. When the character is within the blast radius of a live grenade, a marker indicates the direction of the grenade, helping the player to flee or throw it back. Among the game's weapons are crossbows with bolts and explosive ammunition, Dragon's Breath rounds and ballistic knives.Read full review
I like the story mode and some of the online play as well but try playing it on Veteran you will smash your controller due to the lagging crap! Treyarch should retire because they really did mess up this game! And what's the deal with Jimmy Kimble and the rest of the Holly Wood actor's in that commercial? Well you have to play it for yourself in order to get the real feel of the game as to how bad it turned out to be! Shame on you Treyarch! And Activision shame on you for even releasing this game when it wasn't published the right way! By Getting rid of the lagging issues and Bugs! as well as those damn cheater's! So I give this game a 3- out 5! Also parent's what the heck is your kids doing in a game that is rated M for mature seriously!..Educate yourself by not allowing your kid's in this game! This is why we have the ESRB!Read full review
