Way OT: Call of Duty: Black Ops Open Thread

There's been a lot of talk about it here recently, and I thought I'd toss out a FanPost for people to talk about the game.  I Steam'ed it this morning and will hopefully play a little today, schedule willing.  Anyway, here ya go.

Look me up on steam...ID is Kazrik

I always end up back in counterstrike. Still the most fun shooter for me over the long terms. Call of Duty, Battlefied, etc….all awesome games but I find they have limited staying power over the long term….for me.

In the meantime i have found a great CS server that is always packed and aggressively policed for hackers by the admins, who are all cool.

Ok, that aside, Black Ops looks stupidly awesome. I might pick it up once I here how the release goes.

You can basically have your computer

play for you. Oversimplifying, but it gives you a huge advantage.

I've had my fill of COD for now

I don’t need yearly installments. Too many other games

Wow

It’s a little intense.

The first five minutes were pretty intense.

Especially the whole Castro scene. It’s a great game.

Very impressed by the story line

This game is a lot of fun. I adore the COD franchise, and I can’t say that about any other.

I like that they actually seemed to put real effort into the single player

Too many games treat the single player campaign as a cast off theses days.

Which is really sad

because I love single-player campaigns.

I like.

Also my PS3 likes that I have been paying it so much attention now due to the release of Black Ops.

by Bobbythegreat on Nov 9, 2010 7:48 PM CST reply actions  

lol my clan members are sad.

I am ignoring reach for black ops this week… I will probably hop back on COD BO after i get done with my chores and start defrosting dinner

I heard Brian Cushing like to do it with girls in a really uncomfortable place and i am not talking about the back seat of a Volkswagen

Black Ops has too much potential to be dissapointing

It’s World at War all over. I’ll stick to NBA 2k11 and Madden 11 for now

Not really.

It’s a continuation of it.

World at War sucked. Really hard

In my opinion. Nazi Zombies was the only decent thing and they pretty much ripped off Gears of War Horde mode

by .Bonzo on Nov 9, 2010 9:27 PM CST up reply actions  

They have it Zombie Mode on Black Ops too

Bigger maps. Graphics are ridiculous. You can dive for cover. I know that’s a minor thing but to me it is when I play online. The story is pretty damn interesting so far.

Story has never been a problem

The stories of COD 4, 5, and 6 were all nice. Online is the big thing for me, and World at War wasn’t as good as Cod 4 online. Still, based on more opinions I might end up getting this around Christmas

Best one yet.

Reznov is a fucking bad ass. Stayed up all night last night playing it. Graphics are clean. Treyarch really did a good job continuing the franchise better than Infinity Ward. Kinda sad that IW won’t be doing anymore COD games though, they had great storylines.

IW won't do anymore?

Since when? They always do the even numbers

by .Bonzo on Nov 9, 2010 9:28 PM CST up reply actions  

From what I remember

They disbanded and said that they won’t be doing anymore COD games, so there won’t be a continuation of MW2.

Activision strong armed them out

over bonuses, and everyone of any importance at IW left to make a new studio.

Nerds.

That is all.

I, amongst many other of the core contributors at Stampede Blue, are officially boycotting the site due to the deplorable "leadership" of head blogger BigBlueShoe. We ask, but do not expect, support, from you, our fellow fans, regardless of your team affiliation. The ideals of fairness and respect that are the foundation of this great sport that we all love should not stop at the chalk on the boundaries of the gridiron, but should continue through to the fans and beyond. To show your support you may email dhalprin123@gmail.com at SBNation and respectfully ask for the removal of Brad Wells as head blogger of Stampede Blue. Thank You.

I have yet to finish the campaign

due to the fact my friends keep invite bombing me until I join online… Some of the online physics can be tweeked but solid I was afraid after waw. IWs online was assome… They are supposedly holding on to the modern warfare name so possibility of mw3 is out there but won’t have cod attached

This paragraph is funny:

It’s called, (say it with me); “FREEDOM”!
