Black ops..worst cod game ever??


The first call of duty game was released in october 2003,nobody at that time knew that a gaming franchise like call of duty would become a billion dollar franchise in less then a decade.As of November 27, 2009, Call Of Duty games had sold 55 million copies for $3 billion in revenue.COD:Black ops alone has generated over 1 billion dollars becoming one of the biggest selling games in the history of gaming.No matter how much it sold,it started receiving negative/hate comments shortly after it was release.                                               

The game was highly criticised for its low graphics,sound and gameplay.There really is no excuse for bad graphics/gameplay today,With games like uncharted taking gaming graphics to another level,its diappointing to see that a huge franchise like call of duty is still using its four year old engine to develop cod games.The game was also criticised for its poor porting to ps3,most of the ps3 users had freezing problems,trouble loading the xmb screen after the game was started. Though Treyarch released an update shortly after the bug was found but it really didnt solve the problem and the freezing problem still remains.One another huge problem with black ops is the  spawn system.There have been many incidents of me spawing right infront of the enemy on maps like nuketown, firing range etc.Also Hit detection/lag - the difference between a 3-bar connection and a 4-bar connection is quite noticable.Also Quickscoping is out of the game, so those who use it will hate the game, although to those who hate quick scoping this is a great blessing. 

The campaign fails to deliver the same drama and impact that the campaigns in CoD4, WaW and MW2 did and is far more "Hollywood style" than any of the others, so much so they hired a Hollywood script writer.Treyarch gives Xbox players a copy of Black Ops with reduced lag, map packs coming sooner, and those map packs at a reduced price. (Well, Xbox players pay Xbox Live charges, so it's still technically way more expensive).Theater mode sucks on PS3, Xbox 360 players get 480p while PS3 players only get 360p.The only good thing about black ops was zombies and probably the only reason why some people still play black ops.!!do u agree or disagree??is black ops the worst cod game ever???leave your comments below.!!

  3. I am not surprised when I saw it coming long ago. Long story short Black Ops is practically the same as MW2.So i am not surprised when i have played this game on my PS3.
