Got my hands on a copy of black ops, actually my brother had a hookup and I'm just opening it up and will give everyone a good preview.
Awesome. Tell us if the controls feel clunky, because it looked like Bad Company 2 in the gameplay previews...
We wouldn't be so lucky for it to be up to par with BC2. It's run and gun solo action and BC2 is team based, the total opposite.
So far controls are nice and smooth. Have only played zombies so far, but I really like it. It's more cluttered feeling, the map, so it doesn't feel so symmetrical. More of a map type feel. Some new weapons are really nice, and not a lot of recoil. So far its damn solid though. Going to get into mission in a bit.
New types of zombies that crawl and explode a poisionous gas. Auto turrets too, very cluttered, really cramped. Very nice.
make sure you're dc'd from xbox live or they'll ban you other than that, pretty sweet! Tell us what guns there are
Ok, haven't played a whole lot, but here's my take: The game is pure smooth. No frame rate problems at all. Didn't make it past level 14 on zombies but even then when they were lined up I didn't see near the lag as on WaW. The zombie level was just perfect. Looked like it should, very run down, very creepy. The weapons were superb except for one aspect which ill touch on later. Let me be the first to let you know about the "Thunder Gun". Think ray gun on steroids. Truely the best part of the zombie mission is the detail of the map. No more lining up Windows and walking backwards as you reload and kill. Too much stuff in the way. I like the new zombies and the cluttered feel. For those of you who mastered the art of making crawlers to build yourself up and get situated, let me let you know you can forget that tactic now. You better leave a few live ones, as callers auto die very quickly. I don't know what to make of it graphically, as I'm used to playing ps3, but the cut scenes are very good, and the missions look outstanding. I will say that for some reason the same can't be said for the zombie game. Your teammates look watered down slightly, and I caught moments where I saw a club for a hand with no fingers. Also for such a huge game I didn't like seeing this and a few other flaws. One enemy died all but standing up, right in the middle of a doorway. No way to explain even if you use game physics reasoning. Also I believe I found a glitch where I couldn't move a vehicle and had to restart the level twice before it finally would move forward. The weapons are butter, but I hope they increase their difficulty a bit. Most weaps had no real recoil. Picked up AK47 fully expecting a decent amount of jump. There was none. Only the larger weapons produced any kind of recoil. This could lead to a lot of spraying online, and might be in place to help the noobs. With that said, its still an amazing game. Zombies are just pure genius. I'll wait to see what the multiplayer offers before I can fully love it, but so far id give it a solid 4.3 out of 5. Really didn't like some of the polish problems.
