gah. Look guys, you really have to lay off with the MW2 thing, its just stupid. Black Ops was made by Treyarch, you can't go and say "Well MW2--" because it's by different people.
Black Ops is the story of Old War.
Modern Warfare (Hence the name "MODERN"😉 is the story of Current War.
You might as well say "But Halo--" sense it's the story of New War!
Black Ops was good.
Modern Warfare 2 was good.
You don't compare Black Ops to MW you compare it to World at War because that is the games Prequel.
You wouldn't compare MW2 to World at War because it's the sequel of Modern Warfare.
Also, the music at the time is supposed to be limited to stuff from like the 1950 - 1960s and what not. If you expect to hear modern music, go play a modern game!
Note: Black Ops was rated one of the bloodiest games of the year.

Black Ops had a good single player, except for the AI of course and a few other instances where I felt like I was watching a movie and not actually playing a video game. I was disappointed to see that the only co-op was zombies and for some reason I can never connect to it and I always end up dropping. The multiplayer isn't really different. Same old Call of Duty with LESS players. Lol..max 18 players now, quite ridiculous.
From what I heard there were continuity errors with the music. For example the songs wouldn't have been out yet in real life by the time a specific mission took place.
That title will be usurped by Mortal Kombat soon enough 😄

Yeah, which is my point. It's still better than every CoD single player conceived so far. Hence my. I don't know, frustration?
Just because it had more action and fancy effects doesn't make it better. COD 4 and COD 2 both had excellent campaigns and now Black Ops. Story wise of course. COD WaW is also up there, but not quite up to par to COD 4,2 and 7.

Considering that Black Ops has the same exact controls and gameplay and also considering that it's apart of the series gives plenty of reason to compare it to MW2.
By your logic it's ok to compare Black Ops to World at War because World at War is a prequel. So, that makes it perfectly fine to compare Black Ops to MW2 because Black Ops is a prequel to MW2 😂
At any rate, i'd just like to say that i've finally finished Black Ops on Veteran and i had a lot of fun playing through. I really enjoyed the story and action sequences but i wish there were just a bit less scripted moments and more freedom to complete the levels rather than following the perfectly pre-determined paths the devs want you to follow. The AI was also a big problem for me. Your team AI is dumb as a bag of rocks and quite possibly some of the worst team AI i've experienced in a long time and the enemy AI isn't much better. The only difficulty comes from being killed in one or two shots. Veteran is still a pain in the ass because of this but like always, you simply just need to memorize where everyone is. By now, i would expect random enemy spawns. Although, the game was still fun to play
The only problem i have now is that there is nothing left to do in the game. Black Ops is in desperate need of Co-op. The lack of Campaign co-op at this point is inexcusable to me. The multiplayer is fun and all, but considering that i've been playing the same exact multiplayer for the last three games now, i have little interest in playing it in this installment. Again, all in all, the singe player was fun but you're essentially paying $60 for new multiplayer maps here.

Not when MW2 is produced by IW while BO and WaW are produced by Trey. Then it doesn't become a contest between games but a contest between companies. You would be saying you prefer IW's work compared. That's why WaW was produced by Trey who then made Black Ops. MW2 was produced by a completely different company.
Enjoying the game so far, mostly multiplayer, hardly touched single-player but I plan to. In multiplayer I can see it getting dull fast though, mainly because once you get to the end of the rankings, you can reset it for an extra "prestiege" rank, so all in all I think you have to complete 50 tanks, 15 times to get all the unlocks which is tiresome.

and the dead ops arcade is like... one of the best minigames, ever.

If this franchise hadn't already been established i'd say there would be a difference between developers but by this point i doubt any developer has much freedom at all with the prerequisites of game play set by the publishers. The differences by each developer are minute. However, you're right there is a difference there but until i see a risk taken that changes gameplay drastically i will remain to look at COD franchise as the same game separated only by a number or setting. The one thing i hate about Treyarchs approach though is their intent on designing levels with endless enemy spawns. Although, that's probably just because of the setting that was chosen.

First of all, I think Infinity Ward has only made one pre-Y2K CoD (not sure but I think someone said they did CoD 2 or something.) Anyways, aside from that Infinity Ward makes Modern CoD. They're better with graphics. They use more modern guns that give us an infinite amount of fun.
Treyarch has so far only made pre-Y2K games. Involving WWII, the Vietnam War, etc. While MW2 is about shooting and high-tech gear, Black Ops is more about History.
That's right people it's a conspiracy! Treyarch is forcing kids to LEARN!!!! ROARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyways, the two different companies have different equipment. They have the same controls for a reason but you can't judge a game's resemblance through control use sense Halo Reach and Halo 3 used a slightly different set up.
Well I'm going to stop my rants 😄 CoD is awesome, later.
Jesus Christ.
IW created the franchise Call of Duty with the first and second games. Those were in WW2. They also developed an expansion pack called United Offensive for Call of Duty.
But, the first Call of Duty like game is Medal Of Honor Allied Assault. The guys who created that game went on to start up IW.
So IW didn't make modern CoD until CoD4 but they made thier bones with "historical" WW2 games.
In the end though, CoD throughout the series has been pretty much identical no matter who developed it. It follows the same forumla. Replace the M16 with Thompson machine gun, and you get the same game.
