User:Smuff/100 things I hate about Black Ops

"The worst game developer of all time. Totally ruined the Call of Duty series."

- The 1st description of Treyarch on the Urban Dictionary

Before anyone says anything, no, I don't play Black Ops; my copy of Black Ops now lives in the shed.

I hate Black Ops, it's just another piece of garbage churned out from Treyarch's ass. Every time I play, the only guns I'm killed by are the AK74u, Famas, AUG and Galil. Every map is a campers dream, the hit detection is horrible, I get randomly killed from across the map by some noob spraying one of the above without the screen so much as blinking red. Anyone who defends it either cried about the M203/GP-25/Thumper in Modern Warfare 2, or is an absolute Treyarch fanboy or someone who pisses with the above Assault Rifles to hell and back. Black Ops is by far the single most overhyped game to have been released in years.

And before you say anything: No. It's not just a game. I spent £45/$72 on this game. Considering how rare it is I purchase a game, or infact anything for that price, I expect to get at least some enjoyment from it, but I don't. But, for those of you who watch soccer/football, which is a mystery to me, how do you feel when you see the World Cup? I have seen grown men cry when their country, or even club, loses a match and is knocked out of whatever they play in. I'm sure you're devestated when the team you love does horribly. So don't read this thinking "Oh this is just a game, why does he take it so seriously?" In the United Kingdom, the majority of matches are free-to-air. Black Ops cost me money. I have the right to moan at it.

While Black Ops may be playable for some, there's just so many problems I can find with it. Great concept, bad execution. Before the game I was like "''Oh my God! They're doing this! And that! And you can't do this, yeah!" Then when the game came out the first day, I recall yelling at my Playstation 3, "WHY WON'T YOU WORK!" with the sheer amount of lag. That shouldn't have happened. Treyarch could have gone and assumed, "Oh look, we have lots of preorders, let's make sure we can handle all the traffic." It's not that hard to do, a monkey could figure it out faster than JD2020. Black Ops is by far the single most overhyped game to have been released in years. When I got Modern Warfare 2, it worked!''

Right, from the gigantic list underneath, this looks like a rant, yes? Well it's not. Below is all the problems I have with the game, and it doesn't even scratch the surface. Some, like the AUG not having a trigger, are jokes, while ones like the Famas literally make me lose my voice yelling at the TV. I found some nice stuff to complement it, and with showing that the Famas is OP I even did some nice little calculations.

I don't have a blind hatred for Treyarch, that needs to be said. I hate Treyarch for the crappy service I've got, in Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2, I had no service problems, 2 years on in World at War and I still can't join parties properly, and it's the same in Black Ops. I don't hate Treyarch blindly, I hate Treyarch for by far the crappiest experiences I've ever had in a video game.

And one last thing: Don't go saying, "o u play blops so st0p complanin!!1!" I DON'T.

Now I found this song, and personally it described Treyarch and the typical mood in Black Ops perfectly. Before you read the list, watch this video to get into my mindset.

thumb|655px|centre|The asshole song

And here we go...

 * 1) RC-XD can be achieved from a double kill yet can get a multikill.
 * 2) The RC-XDs timer and speed mean you can't escape it, which is rubbish, since when can battery operated RC cars go at that speed?
 * 3) The Claymore doesn't tick, even if it does have the same detonation time as the previous versions the lack of a tick still means you only realize you've stepped on it when Treyarch pull the two fingers at you in the KillCam.
 * 4) Thanks to the equipment slot, campers now have Claymores and Semtex!
 * 5) The lag makes shotguns unusable, hit detection is useless with them.
 * 6) Activision sold out to Mircosoft.
 * 7) Matchmaking isn't as good as it was in Modern Warfare 2.
 * 8) The Famas is whored to hell and back, has highest fire rate of any assault rifle and can kill in 3-4 shots and thus the potential damage of the Stoner63, all while being unlocked at level 14.
 * 9) The FAMAS in inaccurately capitalized "Famas."
 * 10) The Famas generally is the first weapon I'm killed by 60% of the time.
 * 11) Treyarch claimed that every weapon is balanced, which makes me dislike them and the game even more.
 * 12) Second Chance invincibility period wastes ammo. RC-DX.png
 * 13) Second Chance only gets me assists when I clearly loaded a magazine in him.
 * 14) Shotguns were both made primary weapons AND nerfed.
 * 15) Warlord's pro perk is shit unless you're a grenade spamming noob.
 * 16) The graphics are poor compared to MW2.
 * 17) The game lags for about 10 seconds when you get a trophy.
 * 18) 3rd perks are essentially useless, the only decent one in BO is Hacker.
 * 19) No Stopping Power means guns are unbalanced against the FAMAS and AUG etc.
 * 20) Zooming down the scope takes too long, I never got killed by "l33t" quickscopers to begin with.
 * 21) The party system rarely works on PS3, groups are constantly broken.
 * 22) Every noob in the game runs around with Ghost and gets stealth kills with a freakin' silenced FAMAS.If you do that you're scum.
 * 23) Commando knife range by default.
 * 24) The Semtex timer gets you killed constantly by grenade lobbing noobs on Nuketown.
 * 25) The only maps ever played are Hanoi (shit), Jungle (shit), Nuketown (generally shit in my opinion), and Radiation (decent when you're doing well).
 * 26) People keep saying how good Treyarch compared to IW are when the only IW game they've ever played is Modern Warfare 2. Black Ops Loading.jpg
 * 27) Create-a-Class 2.0 was overhyped, the only difference is you have the choice of some shitty camouflages, facepaints and a Clan Tag you can't see behind the camouflage.
 * 28) People spray to hell and back, which causes lag and makes the game unplayable.
 * 29) Treyarch couldn't be fucked to make a different helicopters for each side with things like Gunship, instead they cheat players with a Hind helicopter with different markings.
 * 30) The claymore goes off too quickly, there's no escaping it.
 * 31) Half the players online panic knife.
 * 32) BO is worse than MW2 for campers.
 * 33) Treyarch put in way more references to themselves on guns than Infinity Ward did. EnfieldBO.jpg
 * 34) The secondary slot is useless apart from noobs who lob crossbow bolts across the map wanting cheap kills.
 * 35) IR sucks compared to Thermal.
 * 36) The storyline dragged out too long in Vietnam, Payback was enough.
 * 37) Credits don't let you test out weapons without spending 2000 a time, often end up with nothing upon discovering guns such as the Enfield can't beat the FAMAS.
 * 38) Emblems like Nazi symbols lost their humor instantly.
 * 39) Theater mode is poor quality compared to Bungie's equivalent in Halo.
 * 40) Dogs are useless thanks to the Commando-by-default stab range.
 * 41) Care package weapons are useless, you're often killed using it by an RC-XD.
 * 42) The ability to dive to prone makes you look like a tard.
 * 43) The subtitles are fail in the sense they block the swears while not blocking the swears being said.
 * 44) SMGs were once again whored to hell and back with a huge choice while LMGs only have 4 in their category.
 * 45) SMGs also have that stupid full mobility while in ADS feature.
 * 46) I still have to listen to French people spray their diarrhea language down my mic.
 * 47) It takes longer to mute people because of that stupid menu that appears with every name.
 * 48) Black Ops has too many loading screens versus the other games.
 * 49) The storyline was once again shorter than in MW2 while the multiplayer feels generally unpolished.
 * 50) I get less lag in and  multiplayer than I do in BO, which is frankly appalling.
 * 51) Spiltscreen is useless and only used by power levelers.
 * 52) The spawn system is somehow worse than the one in Modern Warfare 2.
 * 53) I'm tired of getting told to play Combat Training because of the lag, I shouldn't have to play CT cause of Treyarch being useless at providing basic connections.
 * 54) Bots on veteran have by default.
 * 55) There's even more console promoters on the wiki thanks to Black Ops and the stupid lag.
 * 56) Treyarch don't clamp down on hackers half as much as they say, the flying RC-XD continues to take off and take me out.
 * 57) 3D was stupid and only provided that extra experience for the few, all while taking up space that could be used for something decent everyone could use.
 * 58) 15 prestiges is ridiculous, is Mark Lamia actually that stupid to believe I'd prestige 14 times for a golden camouflage which costs ?!?!?Idiot
 * 59) The main menu looks rubbish, you'd honestly think you're playing a PS2 game.
 * 60) The trailers made it look like there would at least be some destructible buildings, I was disappointed.
 * 61) In the words of Callofduty4, "Where the fuck was "alternate ammo"?
 * 62) Grenade Launchers aren't fun anymore.
 * 63) At any point does it actually explain the numbers properly?
 * 64) In the words of Callofduty4, "Half the guns suck penis."
 * 65) You can't prestige in Combat Training.
 * 66) There's no good multiplayer voice-overs like the Bambi fan.
 * 67) Semi-automatic Dual Wield shotguns only have the range of a decent spit contestant at best.
 * 68) It tries and fails to be super serious.
 * 69) The campaign in Vietnam was generally weak.
 * 70) Generally stupid Easter Eggs.
 * 71) No Saving Private Ryan references.I want my obscure easter egg!
 * 72) Treyarch decided to shit all over the SUSAT scope.
 * 73) Anons now come on the wiki defending the FAMAS, AUG and AK-74u, all while lying through their teeth saying they aren't overpowered because they use it.
 * 74) The game wasn't funny enough to make an Uncyclopedia article about it.
 * 75) No ability to play co-op in the campaign like in World at War, Treyarch can't even get it right there.
 * 76) Hipfire accuracy decreases in accuracy with shotguns while moving.Ghey.
 * 77) The AI coding for the SAM Turret is useless, it kills you more often than the enemy helicopter.
 * 78) The detail in the pick-up icons is minute compared to that of the guns in Modern Warfare 2 like the TAR-21.
 * 79) People now hate IW for no reason.IW ftw
 * 80) WA2000 and Dragunov got some serious nerfin'.
 * 81) The MP5k now looks rubbish.
 * 82) Pistols suck without Dual Wield.
 * 83) UAVs only do 50% of their job nowadays since 50% of players use Ghost. Considering Ghost COMPLETELY protects the user from a 3 killstreak (and the Attack Helicopter, why can't Flak Jacket do the same with the RC-XD?).
 * 84) Grip is an underbarrel attachment but can be used with Warlord.
 * 85) Masterkey sucks and isn't even resupplied.
 * 86) Flamethrower isn't resupplied and can't be used with Warlord because Treyarch thought that all underbarrel attachments were OP.Failures.
 * 87) The iron sights from the FAMAS in MW2 are literally on every other gun in Black Ops. FamasadsBO.jpg
 * 88) Crossbow is a grenade launcher with a huge range that gets resupplied but no-one complains.
 * 89) The only way to match Ghost is with an 8 kill streak.
 * 90) Grenade launchers suck, Treyarch might as well have removed them from the game.
 * 91) The FAMAS gets a special camouflaged Grenade Launcher yet no other assault rifle does.Favoritism much?
 * 92) Veteran bots shoot you before they see you.
 * 93) BC2's Vietnam expansion is more fun than BO at 1/4 the price, plus cost proportionally there's more guns with it than in BO altogether.Lazy ass developers.
 * 94) Reznov was made a central character for absolutely no reason.
 * 95) Unexplained Zombies in the Pentagon.I call BS!
 * 96) The PPSh-41 should have been featured more, the MP-40 got a place in Kino!
 * 97) There are so many things wrong I was able to make this page.
 * 98) Connection Interrupted. That is all.
 * 99) No gore in multiplayer, space was taken up by the 3D ability which >2% of people can use.Showoffs.
 * 100) U.S.D.D. is a waste of space.
 * 101) ACOG is cluttered to hell and back.
 * 102) Contracts only reward players who can get severely high killstreaks guaranteed.
 * 103) No portal references.
 * 104) No rewards for completing challenges, callsigns are simply purchasable.
 * 105) "I'm in a top secret military project but I can only sprint for four seconds!"
 * 106) All the cool stuff is only done in cutscenes.
 * 107) Due to the lack of people who no longer use shotguns, snipe or use underbarrel attachments other than a grip on their AK, shooting is now a boring activity where you try shooting the noob with the FAMAS before he pisses over you with that gun of his.
 * 108) The multiplayer main menu takes 1 minute to load.
 * 109) Marathon only gives like an extra 3 second sprint and the pro is a bitch to unlock.
 * 110) Local only search doesn't work, even in cities. Unionjackfail.png
 * 111) Most of the guns weren't even invented in the time frame of Black Ops, let alone in prototype stages. (Including the AUG, Famas and AK-74u...)
 * 112) Gas zombies. I thought they were failed German experiments. Seriously, what the hell?
 * 113) Care package loot sucks, ammo drops are much more common.
 * 114) Treyarch removed the MP40 as a killstreak reward from the Care Package.
 * 115) WHERE IS ELEMENT 115 NOW?!?!?!I think it's in the sink
 * 116) No Easter eggs like the Infinity Ward Times.
 * 117) I miss Burger Town.Full stop.
 * 118) Treyarch can't even get the Union Jack flag right.
 * 119) The annoying main menu theme makes the game look like it was made for the PS2.
 * 120) That stupid tune in the multiplayer backround just loops over and over again, combined with bad matchmaking you have a right headache.
 * 121) Treyarch put in backround noise so I can't be a sound whore.I have a $300 dollar pair of Turtle Beaches!
 * 122) Why does the AUG have no trigger in Create-a-Class? Vorkuta2.png
 * 123) Treyarch having Russian soldiers using M249s as turrets in Vorkuta and WMD is lazyness, they just poorly used it as a placeholder and couldn't be bothered replacing it.
 * 124) Golden Camouflage generally looks rubbish, it's more brown than it is gold.
 * 125) Why did the tweak with the AK47 so much? The Modern Warfare version was perfect, the AK in Black Ops looks nothing like the actual one did at the time.
 * 126) No co-op mode.Space used up by 3D probably.
 * 127) No Project Nova weapons in multiplayer.
 * 128) Black Ops' engine was just a redesigned version of an already redesigned engine.Make a new engine Treyarch, it's good practice.
 * 129) No-scoping with the L96 is ridiculously easy.
 * 130) The grip attachment on the AK-74u being nerfed resulted in the Famas being whored even more.
 * 131) Sniping is weakened by the annoying lag.
 * 132) Stakeout fail.jpg Chopper Gunner is even stronger than the MW2 one, it requires 2 less kills and now stuns the enemy, thus the player being shot at can't even escape.
 * 133) Pro perks are unnecessarily hard to get, who on earth plays CTF?
 * 134) The grip attachment in 3rd person is held spastically.
 * 135) 4 ARs have the same RoF: Commando = AK47 = Galil = Enfield, making them all boring as hell.
 * 136) 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.
 * 137) 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). Josh_Olin_2.jpg
 * 138) Theater mode sucks on PS3, Xbox 360 players get 480p while PS3 players only get 360p.
 * 139) First Strike cost 50p more than the Modern Warfare 2 DLC.
 * 140) JD_2020. He's an absolute idiot who apparently listens to the community yet gets 20,000 comments a day telling him the real problems of the game yet all he does is patches the AK74u's grip so more people use rapid fire to piss me off. If he read this he'd see how many things are actually wrong with that "game" of his. Anyone who knows me knows I don't need to elaborate further.
 * 141) Flak Jacket protects users from explosions in Black Ops, yet in other games there was another perk to balance this.I figured out a complaint about it, happy?
 * 142) M79 Thumper > China Lake.
 * 143) No Purple Heart trophy.
 * 144) RPD > RPK
 * 145) Somehow I encounter lag over local splitscreen.Seriously.
 * 146) The M16 looks horrible.
 * 147) No Wii map packs after all.It's funny because you thought Treyarch would deliver...
 * 148) A five-year old can throw a grenade farther than you can in Black Ops.


 * 1) The FFA spawns are terrible, on Jungle I litterally spawned right across from someone at the start of a match.
 * 2) The Emergency Airdrop doesn't make a return.
 * 3) Three words: NO PUBLIC BETA.
 * 4) The M60 w/ Extended Magazines has a childish title that reads "M60 Big Ammo".
 * 5) No Team Deathmatch Express.

'''"Black Ops looked like a CoD game on the DS. Now, I'm saying this because I have it for Wii, but I expect having an installment such as CoD7 - Black Ops, the most modern installment so far, not have the Wii version look almost as bad as an installment on the DS console. I've also played on PS3 before, and I got so frustrated that I knifed people and they wouldn't die. It seems that the only reason crutches like the AUG, Famas, Galil, etc. are actually GOOD is in Zombie Mode. Treyarch's ruining of the Multiplayer experience makes me think that the only reason Black Ops as a whole is good is the Zombie Mode. I just hope CoD 8 (A.K.A. Modern Warfare 3) and CoD Elite (the upcoming PC CoD experience by Beachhead) will be just as good as Modern Warfare 1 & 2 are."

- Me ''' '''"Treyarch, give up already. You'll never be better than you were in Call of Duty 5: World at War. You've proven that with "Call of Obey-Treyarch-and-join-their-cult-of-fanboys: Seriously-join-Treyarch's-fanboy-cult-or-your-an-Infinity-Ward-9-year-old-fanboy-Justin-Beiber-fan-noob Ops.""

- Me '''
 * 1) It takes 6 shots to kill a guy. Incude the horrible lag and you get a 17-shot-kill.
 * 2) No One Man Army.
 * 3) No ACR.
 * 4) Excessively using the dive-to-prone makes the match sound like a retarded gay orgy.
 * 5) Spetsnaz voices just suck compared to MW2's voices. In MW2, it was like the best moment of your life hearing some Russian dude just shit his pants yelling "ENEMY AC-130 ABOVE!!!!!" or "WE'VE BEEN EMP'D!! ELECTRONICS ARE DOOOOOWN!!" In Black Ops, I don't see hear that fun anymore.
 * 6) Where the fuck are Sgt. Foley and Cpl. Dunn? SOME type of funny thing woud've done the job, at least. But nooo, Treyarch HAD to take out the funny things, because those shitty devs thought it was "racist" and "hurtful."
 * 7) Where the fuck are those annoying but funny Japanese banzai guys?
 * 8) What can I say? Blops is SHIT.
 * 9) Spawn themes suck. People think that these songs play when Chuck Norris takes a shit. MW2's themes sounded like that. MW2's victories sounded like that too. MW2's losses sounded like Chuck Norris's final hit before winning a fight played in slow-mo. All of the Blops themes sound like Chuck Norris being angry and disappointed.
 * 10) No constantly repeated last names. World at War had "MILLER!" and MW2 had "RAMIREZ!" Black Ops had nothing and made the campaign a bunch of boring BULLSHIT.
 * 11) "The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on earth. But I think that's a luxury, not a curse. Knowing you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take... inventory. Outgunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds. On a suicide mission. But the sand and rocks here stained with thousands of years of warfare. They will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight. We. Will. Kill him." I don't have to expain more.
 * 12) Black Ops stole perks from Modern Warfare 2  and made the pros worse. (Or in Marathon and Second Chance's case, the entire Perk. (Now, MW2's Marathon Pro is called Marathon Super Pro!))
 * 13) Trying to get Hardline Pro on CT is a bitch, on Regular almost TWENTY bots can walk past a Care Package and not get it, I even saw one walk back and forth to a doorway five times before getting my Care Package.
 * 14) Now with CoD Points, Black Ops teaches the little kiddies how to add and subtract. Perfect for the blood-thirsty, zombie-killing, 15th-perestiging, and hacking 5-year-old mistakes that you fucked out of your vagina.
 * 15) You have to buy a Perk that Treyarch crapped on for [[File:CoD_Points.png]]2000, then get 10 Share Cum Packages, get a 7 Rapestreak, then get 7 Rapestreaks all in one fuckfest game, and THEN you have to buy a Pro Perk that comes with double the crap, plus added cum for [[File:CoD_Points.png]]3000.
 * 16) Apparently, Treyarch loves the Nooby Piss Sprayer so much, that when you get to Level 15 on CT, every bot on every difficulty uses it.
 * 17) There are so many things wrong with the game that all 13 people here can have their own list.
 * 18) No Theater Mode on Wii.
 * 19) Kino Der Toten is the only Zombies map on Wii, even 3ARC UNLOCK or DOA don't work.
 * 20) Contrary to what I said on the quote above about Zombie Mode, Nikolai's vodka quotes are the only good thing.
 * 21) The only console on which you can actually PLAY the Zork game is on the Wii. (All that happened on PS3 was me getting a trophy, and on Wii I actually got to play the classic PC game. I didn't try it on PC or Xbox 360.)
 * 22) The only reason that Treyarch gave Nikolai vodka quotes is so "TreyFans" (Treyarch fanboys) can say this:
 * 23) *TreyFan: "Want some vodka?"
 * 24) *TreyFan's friend: "No thanks, I don't want to be an alcoholic. Above the influence. :D"
 * 25) *TreyFan: "Don't worry! It's all fine!"
 * 26) *TreyFan's friend: "How do you know?"
 * 27) *TreyFan: "Nikolai drinks it. DURR"
 * 28) *TreyFan's friend: "That's your reason? Because some video game character that doesn't exist in real life drinks it?"
 * 29) *TreyFan: "Nikolai's not fake! I kill zombies alongside him ALL THE TIME!!"
 * 30) *TreyFan's friend: "Neither zombies nor Black Ops is real. Black Ops is a game and zombies never existed in any time. End of discussion." *leaves*
 * 31) *TreyFan: (Nikolai accent) "Well, at least I have my trusty friend... vodka."
 * 32) Treyarch developers are actually so fat and lazy and spend 999/1000 of their day watching TV that they decided to have 1990's television stars fight zombies and then open a mystical box that either disappears or gives you a random weapon until you get a weapon that un-zombifies humans that look like they were from the Pentagon then scream and run to a lighthouse or water when you cure them.
 * 33) Kino der Toten is the ONLY Zombies map available on the Wii.
 * 34) Treyarch's new fanboy cult
 * 35) The names of weapons are wrong. Stakeout = Ithaca M37. Famas = FAMAS. AK74u = AKS-74u. Grim Reaper = M202 FLASH.
 * 36) Stakeout = "Steak out!"
 * 37) Treyarch has ALWAYS redesigned versions of Infinity Ward's engines, but this was the WORST redesign of an IW engine.

By Callofduty4


 * 1) The fanboy base Treyarch received for releasing one of the most incomplete CoDs to date. Their cult following seen by many users on this wiki is totally undeserved. The game is good, but it's not like it was anything groundbreaking. Apparently, making a better game than MW2 (to be frank, there's nothing which says it's better) granted Treyarch a reputation as the "best game developer known to man", or at least that's what I sense. Treyarch's failure with CoD3 and CoD5 is inexcusable, and it was a disgrace for those two games to be released, especially in the case of CoD5, which is an extremely poor attempt at a WWII mod for CoD4. This is my main issue with Black Ops, nothing in the game, but the reputation the game has given Treyarch, and its contrast with the reputation MW2 gave IW. They do share one thing in common though - both reputations are totally undeserved.
 * 2) The fact that this game didn't prove to be as entertaining as Modern Warfare 2, I've only racked up 2 1/2 days of playtime on Black Ops, and at this time last year, I had about 7 days on Modern Warfare 2. I haven't even played Black Ops for about a month, because I don't find it entertaining any more. It's probably because in essence, it's the exact same as Modern Warfare 2, but Modern Warfare 2 did it better. Kind of disappointing, really.
 * 3) The way this game feels as if it was made purely for profit, which indeed it was.
 * 4) The fact that after like 8 patches, the game still has lag issues, the game still has massively overpowered and overused weapons, the game still fails to provide the same entertainment value as MW2, and honestly, no problems have been fixed. They say they fixed the Famas. Tell me then why I still get the undeserved K/D ratios I get with the Famas that I got before the supposed "nerf". It hasn't changed at all. They said they'd fix connection issues. They haven't, I was in a 5-man party a few days ago and we got partly disbanded after every match. It's extremely disappointing to see Treyarch let a game that promised so much and looked extremely good pre-launch to flail its arms in defeat to Call of Duty games of yesteryear. I cannot think of one thing that Black Ops did better than Modern Warfare 2, or hell, even Modern Warfare 1 (which in my opinion is by miles the best game in the series anyway). Maybe that's just me, though, but I really think I speak for a lot of people when I say that Black Ops did nothing Modern Warfare 2/Modern Warfare 1 did, better.
 * 5) We were promised many things. We were promised alternate types of ammo. We got one instance of it. One. That's not acceptable, especially after they made such a big deal out of it. We were promised balanced gameplay. We do not have balanced gameplay if there are two weapons which kill in a drastically lower time than every other weapon in the game, and do not have any disadvantages when used. We were promised quickscoping would be removed. It hasn't been removed, it's still possible and even I can do it. It's not that I have a problem with quickscoping, it's just the fact that Treyarch openly promised that they would remove it, yet it's still there in the game. It really seems Treyarch bit off more than they could chew.

 * 1) I play XBOX 360, and the same problems occur for every system.
 * 2) The only weapons I see are the Pissy Noob Sprayer, gotta love the name, the AUG, the AK-74u, and Semtex's.
 * 3) "Oh they can be countered, its real easy." #Not when Treyarch's servers give me connection interrupted message to the right:
 * 4) You can't snipe worth shit, maps are too small. Treyarch say's "Oh we have to stop quickscoping by giving each sniper 1 hitpoint."
 * 5) Also, DISCOURAGE CAMPING??? "Oh, killstreaks don't carry over any more so people won't camp for stacking killstreaks." WTF!
 * 6) All people do is camp with Pissy Noob Sprayers, Ghost, and SLEIGHT OF HAND!
 * 7) Why do people defend Activision? "Oh, they make a profit." Yes, off milllions of 9-12 year olds begging their parents to buy Black Ops, and what do they do with the money? I bet their Headquarters is made out of it!
 * 8) Campaign="I keep hearing the fucking numbers!" Well in that case...THlwt.jpg


 * 1) The Playercard is essentially useless, because most people make their playercard something disgusting and tasteless, and can even receive a ban from portraying such a thing!Why make something that can be used improperly, emblems were fine.
 * 2) Lag is even worse than the lag in Modern Warfare 2, thus making some games extremely boring as your character appears to not even be able to walk in a straight line. Oh yeah, I must be drunk!
 * 3) Treyarch: Console-Bias much? I see Treyarch are being taken in by the EggsBox's gravitational pull!
 * 4) They fail at voice-overs. BAMB
 * 5) You will probably experience some sort of lag every game. Unless you're very lucky...

- my reply


 * 1) The final part of the final mission takes place in a underwater base in the MIDDLE of the ATLANTIC OCEAN. Now, as one cannot see the coast of Cuba, that suggests that the base is in deep water. Now, I think to be a games developer you have to have a rudimentary idea of Physics, but, as deliberated upon afterwards, evidently treyarch don't. Here;s why. As anything sinks deep into water, the buildup of pressure increases hugely. At the sort of depths that Treyarch are hinting at, Hudson and Mason would be squeezed to a pulp and killed before they could get to the base. Also, when the water starts pouring into the base, the base, simply, would be crushed like a damaged submarine.
 * 2) Multiplayer is completely governed by campers, sprayers and people using Ghost that camp on the opposing spawn, acting as if they were on their side, and then killing them with their Nooby Piss Sprayer or with a 360° no-scope that they will record through the endlessly faulty Theatre Mode.
 * 3) As a dedicated helicopter pilot from BC2, I was insulted when I got to Payback. The controls are evidently designed for the 9-year olds that make up 99.999999999% of the gameforce for CoD, and require no skill to use. One cannot control the cannon correctly, as it only ever fires forward and it is also impossible to kill an opposing Hind or Hip using the standard tactic honed after hours of gameplay on Atacama Desert: Fly above and lace with rockets/cannon fire. It's more reminiscent of a shooting game you find in arcades, and has no real substance to it.
 * 4) Reznov reprogramming Mason to kill Dragonbitch, Krapcheapko and Still-lagging-Stiener (excuse the rude words, it's justified tho) instead of Kennedy sounds a bit too far-fetched for me. This is the 1960s, not the 2200s! (although Treyarch's weapon and storyline choice begs to differ)
 * 5) In level 1, I have a weapon that wasn't even designed until the late 1960s (i.e. waaaaay after the first level) with a wierd scope that looks like the cardboard centre of toilet paper and a Grenade Launcher that hasn't been thought of yet.
 * 6) Bad Company 2: Vietnam looks better than Blops, has a better feel to it than Blops, is better value for money than Blops, has real balanced weapons (i.e. LMGs that are best when firing for long periods, assault rifles that aren't able to beat shotguns at blank range and an automatic Battle Rifle that shows RL traits) and vehicles that can be used properly. And all that for £9.99, a fifth of the price of Blops.
 * 7) People claiming Battlefield Vietnam (the 2004 game) is a copy of Blops. These people aslo claim that I am stupid for claiming that Blops isn't the only decent FPS out there. Fanboys. Battlefield Vietnam was released in 2004, Blops in 2010. Unless time has skipped back to 2011 BC, then i don't think 2004 is after 2010.
 * OK, so take a look at some of the "additions" that Treyarch made to the game to make it better:
 * Motion sensors - This is simply a blatant excuse to stop campers whining about having to equip the UAV as a killstreak (which, may I note, is redundant now seeing as everyone uses Ghost as perk 1). Also, see below
 * Pilotable Vehicles - Now, seeing as half a year before Blops was released, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 strips CoD6 of it's multiplayer monopoly, and one factor is the addictive vehiclar gameplay. Now, what do Treyarch want? The biggest game that year. What do they pikey? Good stuff from other games. They take a element of vehicular gameplay from BFBC2 in the Hind killstreak, and hundreds of fanboys claim the BFBC2 copied the helos WHEN IT WAS RELEASED 6 MONTHS+ EARLIER! Also, people also say it's an extention of tank gameplay like in WaW and CoD3 (which they also say BF copied), but guess when Battlefield first introduced vehicular gameplay? 2002. When was the first Call of Duty released? 2003.


 * 1) Take a look at this promo trailer fanboy exciter. It's an Inside Xbox trailer for another Activision rip off, available on May 3rd for the 360, and sometime in 2142 for the PS3 and PC, and in never for the Wii. That's my first hate. Xbox gets things much earlier than other consoles because Activision don't understand COMMUNITY (yes, that's despite Treyarch claiming they listen). Second hate - skip to 4:26 on the time bar, and watch as the Nooby Piss Sprayer displays all the qualities of a "balanced gun".
 * 2) I expect my shooter games to be at least historically accurate. The number of historical problems with this game defies belief. Ok, the M202 FLASH was designed in the mid-1970s, and wasn't even produced until 1978. So, how come a scientist hiding in Kowloon can access a weapon that hasn't been designed yet without any connections to the US?

1. They practically ruined the art of sniping. the maps are too cramped for sniping, or too large. 2.They even managed to ruin Zombies. Kino was sort of 'Meh', but Five was pure crap. Ascemsion wasn't all the better. 3 Ghost. Just...Ghost. 4. WAW was ten times better than what this was. It had a straight foward campaign and multiplayer, but BLOPS was just rubbish.

By EMPtacular

The campaign is rubbish. I would insult a lot of other FPSs if i called BOs singleplayer a Campaign. For one, its short and the story is very hard to understand and even when you do, you realize there are a lot of plot holes in it. The level design is also atrocious. The game is designed like a rollercoaster-ride, with liniar levels and no alternate routes whatsoever. Some smart AIs would solve that problem, yet the game lacks hard at this category. Most of the times friendly AIs will not even hit enemies and worse, sometimes they will just walk past them, leaving you to battle them. The enemy AI is not sophisticated at all. All they do is stand still, shoot then either get shot or fall back to cover. No flanking, no chasing, nothing. So what does 3arch do to make the game harder, why they put in infinite spawns, thats what they do. Nice job. The gameplay flow is also interrupted even more by the useless cutscenes in wich you are getting tortured, wich don't really add anything to the story, and are often repeated in a lot of missions. They also appear during the actual level, and its pretty obvious that their purpose is to let different parts of the level load. Remember how big the MW2 levels were?

By Nikolai Cannot Die B

lack Ops was, in almost every regard, a step back from World at War, which is appalling. World at War was at least dramatic, and interesting, and fun. In multiplayer, the tanks were creative. Use of a WWII setting was excellent as well. The server is iffy, but hey, it was 2008. Not only that, but gore was much more extreme, and weaponry was new and innovative (e.g., M2 Flamethrower). And the campaign made sense too. And the gore also didn't look like a series of red pixels, it actually looked like a mangled body. Now here comes BO. What the fuck. The originality of this game is frankly stupid, it looks like they just tried to take everything from IW. Half the guns in MP suck, while the remaining ones are either classified (meaning I have to spend all my money to get a piece of shit semi-auto shotgun) or overpowered. I actually think the lag is worse than it was in 2008. And for some unknown reason, I can't stay in a party. I'm usually sent disconnected and have to look at a loading screen for 10 minutes. And I have to buy EVERYTHING. The only people who ever have enough points are either extremely good at High Roller or have such a good connection that they are host 99.99% of the time. I even feel like they've managed to ruin zombies. Nazi Zombies was their thing. That one game mode gave me hope for Treyarch. Now it's some idiotic quest to the box while playing as 1990's television stars. And as for the perk system, what the hell? I have to complete three (usually impossible) challenges and then spend 3000 CoD points. The campaign was generally very weak, and lacked true excitement that was in previous games. The realism is at an all time low, lower than MW2's realism. This game could have been an incredible title, but instead poor execution and lack of an improved engine have left me hopeless for Treyarch. I'm done buying games from them.

By Collector1 By Sgt. S.S.
 * 1) Vetran is so hard, that it make'a WAW like hardend.
 * 2) Some of the noob weapons are now being used by a few of the good gamers, like xJaws.
 * 3) They ruined Reznov's story so much.
 * 4) They said that Double Xp weekend was gonna be on all consoles, when PSN was down....
 * 5) They copyed MW2 too MUCH.
 * 6) On Nuketown 24/7, they sometimes have a free for all and it's fun thanks to many players everywhere.
 * 7) Where did the old Treyarch go?


 * 1) Treyarch didn't even bother to use proper Vietnamese on the loudspeakers in The Defector - just a load of dumb babbling.
 * 2) "Dragovich, Kravchenko, Steiner, all must die." Christ, that sounded cool when it was said the first time, then it lost all its value from overuse.
 * 3) Second Chance. That is all.
 * 4) Bullshit story.
 * 5) ANACHRONISTIC WEAPONS. Seriously, what the fuck is a G11 doing in the '60s?

By N7 By Cpl.Bohater
 * 1) Why the hell does Mason have a Reznov fetish?
 * 2) I still don't know what the numbers mean. :(
 * 3) Why is Griggs in the game?

1. Combat training is the only game mode playable for the Wii, nubs with the FAMAS and RPK spray their guns like a three-year old spraying Orange Juice out of his mouth.

2. Zombies is unplayable as well due to all of the lag. Seriously, 1 hit from a Crawler= Instant death= WTF?!

3. The story mode is fail.

4. It is easier to get killed by a player with a single pistol than one with a Sniper Rifle.

5. The snipers and shotguns fail: Here is a common sniper scenario:

Miss, miss, hit marker, hit marker, Killed by by a guy in second chance.

Here is a common Shotgun scenario:

Too far away, too far away, sprayed down with a FAMAS.

6. The game was a major disappointment. I'd much rather play COD3 to BO.

 By Neilo19 1. The maps have very little amount of creativity.

2. If the nuke always goes off during Nuketown, whats the point of fighting?

3. The maps have very little amount of destructible objects like bottles of glass or windows once they are shot out one thing I loved about MW2 is that you where able to knife/shoot out every piece of the window or just shoot a fan and it stops working. In BO you shoot anything, glass bottles,windows, cars, and they dont even seem to get shot by the gun.

4. The money system just ruins about everything in it that made multiplayer fun for me.

5. There is only like 10 things unlocked for prestigeing.

6. Challenges in this are lame compared to MW2, I havn't even looked very much at the page of challenges. MW2 had fun and exciting challenges.

7. Shotguns=fail, snipers=fail, SMG=meh ARs=Famas

8. Combat training was fun, until you hit the level cap.

9. Way to much loading just to get to play multiplayer *start game* loading *multiplayer* loading *takes to menu, selects multiplayer* loading *picks gametype* finding a game *finds game* loading the map for 2 minutes *joins game* "We lost the fight, but not the war" loading *takes 1 minute to start the game* loading map *start game* host issues, FUN!

10. Facepaint is just trying to make the game more fun for 9-year old kids, freaking out that they can change the look of the persons face, when this has been going on since about the PS1 era.

By Diegox223

1.The FAMAS, and that horrible sound it makes. (Kill it! Kill it with fire!!"

2.I tried playing once since the last mappack came to Xbox Live. Every friken match the game choose, was from this garbage that treyarch is making pay 15 bucks. For cut maps....really?

3.Getting a high killstreak with the AUG on Nuketown is incredibly easy. I've lost the count on how many times I have won a match of FFA on it, with the Chopper Gunner.

4.The campaign saying the word "Numbers" over 50 times on Campaign......50 f*ckin times!!!

5.14th prestige to get Gold camo....SERIOUSLY?!

6.Getting 10 year olds in your team with sniper rifles only that try to quickscope, and fail epicly.

7.Theater mode failing to upload videos of 30+ seconds, even on PC (TF2 just implemented it, you can put videos of over 10 min. long)

8.I would say that over 50% of the game are only cutscenes.

9.It was really necesary to kill Dimitri? They could have easily make Chernov survive, and kill him instead. I hate you Treyarch!

10. Nikolai and his vodka was a funny joke on W@W, but they kind of overused it on BlOps... it's just boring.

By YellowRiolu

1. I just go round either getting 50 kills with the Spectre or the lag screws me over.

2. If I feel like a noob and use the Famas it doesn't even work for me anyway.

3. "I keep hearing the ****ing numbers!" Yeah no-one cares.

4. Petrenko died in the stupidest way the game should be taken off the market.

5. You can't hear "Won't Back Down" properly at the end of the game.

6. George. A. Romero is a juggernaut to the max.

7. "The Spectre will be balanced" Explain why everyone gets confused when I mow their sorry asses with it.

8. Half of the achievements are just stupid.

9. So is Dead Ops Arcade.

10. Zombies need a load of bullets, don't you think?

11. I want to do something cool in the goddamn game!

12. People are so bad at Zombies that they should just be banned.

13. 3D. The only way you can get that on Black Ops is to win the freakin' Gadget Show or something.

14. Leveling up is too tedious, like World at War.

15. I'm rant so much that by the end of it I can't be bothered to use coding any more.

16. Lag, lag, lag. I thought Modern Warfare 2's Veteran infuriated me, I never thought anything would be worse. (And I'm the smartest kid in my year -_-)

17. No freakin' outside of the map to explore. Modern Warfare 2 was full of fun suprises, in Treyarch games now all they do is bar you from exiting the map and there's nothing to see anyway.

18. Lack of interactivity, even if the train that runs over noobs was omitted from Modern Warfare 2.

19. The only decent map is Hotel, and if I'm on a lucky streak then anything'll do me nicely.

20. Firing Range = A whole load of crap.

21. I'm tired of ranting, I'm going to shut up now.

22. Nah, let's not.

23. DLCs are so expensive and the maps are useless.

24. 16 M16 shots in one guy (coincidence lol) and he didn't even die. It's like Hazard has something against me.

25. You can't remake Cliffside. You took away all my hiding spots.

26. Zombies gives you useless teammates, and there's few tactics in it.

27. I can use about 15 tactics in Kino, 20 in Nacht, and 27 in CotD. Seriously? On Nuketown I can use about 60. Lol.

28. BO=Body Odour. Black Ops wreeks. Get it? :D

By Remlap1223

1. First, I'll start off with the first part of the game I played, campaign. What a load of horse shit. Not only was it stuffed with anachronistic weapons, plot holes, and pretty much a love story between Mason and Reznov, but also instead of making a good story, they stuff so much infinitley spawning enemies in levels, that I just stopped paying attention to the storyline, and just finished the campaign so I could play multiplayer and get achievements.

2. I first thought that multiplayer was cool because there were no modders, but I figured out the hard way that there were the same amount of noob tubers, and even more campers.

3. Pissy Noob Sprayer. Need I say more?

4. I swear to God, if I get blown up with another RC-XD, I'm going to blow up my Xbox with one.

5. Shit in a box is way worse than it was in MW2. In one match, I actually got THREE ammo drops in a row. I took my BLOPS disk and threw it against my wall in fury.

6. L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-Lag.

7. Because Warlord doesn't allow underbarrel attatchments, which is ironic because it'll allow grip and rapid fire on an AK-74fu2, noob tubing whores will instead use Sleight of Hand. Combined with the default Danger Close, It is actually more annoying than when people noob tubed in MW2.

8. I almost forgot about claymores and default Danger Close. Holy Fuck that's some annoying bullshit.

9. Did I mention the lag makes a 10 shot kill from the AUG require a full clip to kill someone?

10. Migrating hosts. You really couldn't make a secure server so I wouldn't get booted from every zombie game I'm in Treyarch?

11. I almost forgot the lag. I should probably on this note mention the lag. I literally knifed a guy right in front of me in a match, but the stupid ass server lagged, and he baely knicked me me with his knife and registered as a kill. Fuck you Treyarch.

12. It takes about 10 seconds to switch to your pistol in Second Chance, so you won't even stand a chance at getting a kill.

13. Nova Gas is useless. Tactical Maskis your default tier 3 perk, so disregarding the lag and the fact it takes about a minute inside a small area to kill someone with it, it doesn't even affect guys below level 10. Whenever I walk into it with Tac Mask on, my dumbass bot screams, which allows the camping faggot with Ghost Pro, and the silenced Pissy Noob Sprayer to deck me with 935 rounds per/min of complete troll kill.

14. My fucking Blackbird gets cock blocked by a fucking Counter-Spy Plane? 8 killstreak sucks more than a 4 killstreak? Once again, Fuck you Treyarch.

15. The top weapons I'm killed by:  Stoner 63, Galil, AUG, AK-74u with rapid fire and grip, and, of course, Pissy Noob Sprayer.

16. The Ballistic Knife is complete shit because of the lag. If you're keeping score, this is the fourth time I've brought up the lag.

17. Wager Matches suck. One in the Chamber sucks cuz of the lag, Gun Game sucks when you get the sniper rifles, Sticks and Stones sucks cuz of the lag, and Sharpshooter has shit guns. What a way to lose between 10 and 10000 Cod Points

18. I'm going to end my rant because there is so much shit wrong with Black Ops, my computer is lagging almost as bad as the servers do everyday. # of times lag was mentioned: 6. # of times the pissy Noob Sprayer was mentioned: 3.

By Jar teh marksman

1. It wasn't annoying until after Christmas, where all the children whined to their parents to get them this "awesome game" (oh the irony), then the mic system was flooded with 5 year olds.

2. Snipers. "Holy crap, 'bout to get a triple collaterol headshot!" *hitmarker* "FUUUUUUUUUUU"

3. The only way to kill someone with Flak Jacket is to basically shove a grenade down their throat

4. The Uzi.

5. I think Black Ops has a time machine. How else would they get the G11 and Kiparis?

6. The only way to know how the zombies gang got from Der Riese to Kino der Toten is to spend more money for a different version of a terrible game just to get Shi no Numa?

7. The M14 and all SMG's besides MP5k and AK-74u the most underrated gun in Black Ops. M14 is a sniper-assault rifle hybrid, why wouldn't people use it?

8. This was only a problem for me in the less patched version, but lag. I would pump a whole mag from my MP5k into someone, and five seconds later, I'd get a kill if I weren't dead already.

9. In WaW Zombies, if you were surrounded you basically couldn't do anything unless you had Monkey Bombs or the Wunderwaffe. In Black ops zombies, you can go easy mode and crap all over them with the "you're guaranteed to get to a high round" gun. In a nutshell, BO zombies is unscary and too easy.

10. At Treyarch HQ: "Hey, lets make the most confusing campaign ever and expect the fans to know what the numbers meant!"

11. Because of Activision wanting more money to swim in, they rushed 3arc to make Black Ops, so the PS3 version is worse than the XBOX version in some ways.

12. Just because the Wii doesn't get the map packs and doesn't have as good graphics, people hate it.

13. No epic references.

14. No unscoped Bolt-action rifles.

15. Marathon Pro is very hard to get.

16. Tactical Mask Pro is also hard to get.

17. I've listed 16 things wrong with it.

18. The Crossbow makes a clicking noise when out of ammo. It'd make sense if you pulled it back, but you don't, so it's BS.

By Elijah Sena

Black ops?? HA! Most dumbest Cod i ever could play. Reasons:

1. The campaign is basically two interrorgators trying to get info about a ship lost in the gulf of Mexico out of a mentally insane person while talking to them about his long lost love

2.P TO THE N TO THE S!

3.Ghost pro is a waste of time and money

4.I can't play Demolition now that you spawn on the same side you started on (which gives immature people the opportunity to spawn camp).

5. Blops announcers are so boring, when there's stuff like a gunship or carpet bomber, they literally sound like they dont give a crap

6. The campaign is just like a kiddy a** secret agent movie like Spy kids or the secret agent stuff they do on Johnny Testicles

7.Jammers are useless

8.Treyarch puts WMDs in almost every map

9. Nuketown sucks, especially Nuketown 24/7

10. Black ops sucks

11. Treyarch= Worst game developer EVER

A question of overpowered?
"So much is wrong here I could write a work that rivals War and Peace. However, for the sake of brevity (and our sanity) I will summarize the problems. (That's what you were doing before, dumbass). Right. As Smuff has pointed out on his very, very long "100 things I hate" page, the Famas and AUG are both horrifically overpowered in the sense that no other weapon can match them, even at ludicrously close range. Other assault rifles, such as the Enfield, are left to collect dust for the Famas, which, when fired, sounds like a ginormous buzzsaw raping a tectonic plate in my eardrum."

- CoD addict

As you can tell, I myself believe the AUG and the Famas are both severely overpowered. Firstly, I shall show you the stats for the two guns: As you can see, both guns are unlocked early in the game yet can pull the same TTK as the Stoner63 LMG, while with Assault Rifle movement traits. Now, we shall compare them to much higher level Assault Rifles: The Famas and AUG can both kill a target in 82% of the time it would take the AK47 or Commando to do so. And if that's not enough, let's bring in some guns from Modern Warfare 2, which apparently has "unbalanced guns." These two assault rifles both represent the statistically strongest assault rifle and the assault rifle with the highest RoF. Not only do the Famas and AUG both have the 3-4 shot kill properties of the TAR-21, even with stopping power, the F2000, with the highest RoF of all Assault Rifles, takes longer to kill than the AUG and Famas do, with higher recoil as well. The Famas and AUG overpowered. Those are the actual stats, they haven't been manipulated, the TTK was worked out with the standard delay x (shots - 1) They can't be argued against, the AUG and Famas are overpowered in firefights against other guns.
 * Famas: 3-4 shot kills, 937.5 RPM, TTK = 0.128 - 0.192 seconds, unlocked at level 14.
 * AUG: 3-4 shot kills, 937.5 RPM, TTK = 0.128 - 0.192 seconds, unlocked level 26.
 * AK-47: 3-4 shot kills, 750 RPM, TTK = 0.16 - 0.24 seconds, unlocked at level 38.
 * CAR-15 Commando: 3-4 shot kills, 750 RPM, TTK = 0.16 - 0.24 seconds, unlocked at level 44.
 * TAR 21: 3-4 shot kills, 750 RPM, TTK = 0.16 - 0.24 seconds, unlocked at level 20.
 * F2000: 4-5 shot kills, 925 RPM, TTK = 0.195 - 0.26 seconds, unlocked at level 60.
 * F2000 with Stopping Power: 3-4 shot kills, 925 RPM, TTK = 0.13 - 0.195 seconds, unlocked at level 60.

So why do people not complain about it then? Well, let me bring back our old friend/foe, the Model 1887. The outcry for the Akimbo shotguns to be nerfed was huge. Why? Because it was unlocked at level 67. Therefore, not everyone could use it. If you can't use it but your opponent does and manages to get an advantage, you'd call it overpowered. So why isn't the Famas called overpowered? It's low unlock level. The Famas is unlocked at level 14, so it's availble comparatively early. Thus, the majority of the community can and do use it, so will defend it, rather than point out it's obvious superiority against other guns.

So, long story short, the Famas and AUG both give a player what is essentially an F2000 with lower recoil, 3 perks of their choice and Stopping Power by default as well as the benefits of Cold Blooded Pro when used with Ghost.

The lack of variety
As mentioned above, the Famas and AUG are both OP as hell. Thus, every time I'm killed in Black Ops, it's nearly always by either the Famas, AUG, AK74u or the Galil. I have 4000 deaths in Black Ops, 800+ of those are by the Famas, 600+ by the Famas, 400+ by the Galil and 200+ by the AUG. My KD is 0.95 - If there was no Famas it would be well above 1. There's NO variation in this game, Treyarch wasted their time making 44 weapons of which only 4 are used.

I use the Stakeout. I hate most of the full auto weapons in Black Ops. Few of them have the right feel in the game, and there's no point using them when the noob hipfiring the AK74u has an automatic advantage over you. In Modern Warfare 2, every Assault Rifle was different: the SCAR-H had a low RoF and low recoil, the TAR 21 has a high RoF and a strong recoil, while the AK-47 was in between. In Black Ops, 4 of the ARs have 750 RPM (Commando, AK47, Galil and Enfield). How does that make sense?

Before Black Ops was released, Treyarch decided to bow to the populist opinion of casual gamers worldwide and nerf the shit out of the sniper rifle weapon tier in an effort to put a stop to quickscoping. Optic fanboys worldwide held up their fists in anger at the decision, while unskilled casual gamers everywhere rejoiced and celebrated the fact that the new mod would require less technical abilities than before. And what a great decision it was. Now, instead of having players ruin the game by using different types of weapons, every Black Ops game consists of 6 players on each side using nothing but the fully automatic assault rifles and the Ak74u.

The lag
I heard a very good quote from YouTube:

"The ping latency programs that they [Infinity Ward] used is superior in Infinity Ward games, Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2. That's just the way it is, there's less lag; You don't get "Treyarched" as much. You know what I mean, Treyarched? When you're running around a corner, shooting, and you see some guy, pull behind the corner, "BLEGH," and you die and you're like "...What just happened there?" And then you watch the killcam and he's like totally shooting his entire clip into you and you're still standing there going, "Uuulh, Treyarched." That's called Treyarched."

- NextGenTactics

As you guys can tell, I find the lag incredibly annoying, so much so some people like pointing out I've mentionned it 5 or six times, (I can't find them all). Well it's annoying! Nothing is more annoying in this game when you think you've completely outplayed someone and even though all your bullets are in line with them it turns out they're been pissing at you with their AK74u Rapid Fire for the past 2 seconds, or you have the same AK74u spraying person lag your game up to hell and back. The G18s in Modern Warfare 2 with Akimbo have an RoF with 2,000 RPM (technically) and they don't lag my game up the way one gun with 937.5 RPM does!

Campers
Despite the source, I found a rather good quote: "1. Equip Ghost as your first perk. 2. Choose the motion sensor for your equipment. 3. Select the Famas/AUG assault rifle and stick a suppressor on it. 4. Sit in an obscure corner, aim down your sights and wait for an enemy player to run by. 5. ???? 6. Profit!"

- Encyclopedia Dramatica

In Black Ops, we were more or less told that you couldn't camp in the game. Yet, in Black Ops I'm killed by campers FAR more than I was in Modern Warfare 2. The equipment slot, for example, made this much easier. Now, as well as having the lethal grenade slot, there's also the equipment slot, which allows the enemy to have on them an extra claymore or motion sensor. Long story short, they know you're coming before you even cross the doorway. Plus, this Ghost Pro perk allows anyone to give themselves a ghillie suit while camping in the corner with a warlord assault rifle with Dual Mags and a silencer.

Treyarch Fanboyism
Call of Duty: Black Ops was developed by a company that is notorious for releasing sub-par Call of Duty games. Since the release of Black Ops, Treyarch have continuously told everyone that they are willing to listen to community feedback. This "willingness to listen" has netted the company a vast army of basement dwelling fanboys who will ferociously defend Black Ops as if their life depended on it. When criticizing this overrated expansion pack, be prepared to listen to scores of irate fanboys making remarks such as;

"Hey, at least Treyarch are listening to the community! UNLIKE INFINITY WARD!!1!"


 * This is in the same league as buying a broken-down washing machine for $2000; only to say that you're content with it because the person from customer service answered your phone call within a week of trying to get hold of them.

"Oh, but you moaned about Modern Warfare 2 just as much!!1!"


 * No, that never happened, and that's another Fanboy Statement. There wasn't a single gun I complained about like I do in Black Ops (FAMAS > Famas), anything I moaned about was generally being killed by an RPG with Danger Close and One Man Army, and I still would/do (I used it once or twice, as I myself am a hypocrite). My friend EROxANGEL traded in his game, yet he still has Modern Warfare 2. Did I complain about the TAR-21? No. So don't come out with such unjustifiable rubbish.

"All the guns are perfectly balanced."


 * * cough*Famas*cough* This is a typical "Treyarch fanboy" statement made by somebody who is unable to distinguish between the words "balance" and "boring". The multiplayer mode on Black Ops is so mundane and uninspired, that some of the bigger CoD-related Youtube channels and personalities (GUNNS constantly shows his disapproval of Black Ops, FPSRussia just went back to the original Modern Warfare) have decided to return to previous Call of Duty games such as Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty 4. The fact that a lot of people are willing to put up with the crap that goes on in MW2 really serves to highlight the fact that Black Ops is so mind-numbingly boring, the player is at risk of having a stroke while playing it. So here's the fantastic thing; since all of the unskilled defensive players are too busy hiding in corners and playing with their motion sensors on Black Ops, games such as Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2 are now relatively fun to play again!

"Infinity Ward took out the dedicated servers for PC."
 * Treyarch didn't release Call of Duty 3 for PC at all. Your argument is invalid.

"Treyarch made Call of Duty@@@@"


 * L2freakin get your facts right. Anyone who says this is an ignorant bastard who clearly hasn't played anything before Modern Warfare 2 and doesn't intend to either.

It won a BAFTA* somehow
Yep, it won the GAME Award at the, thanks to the millions of Treyarch's fanboys in the world who were able to vote for their somehow favourite developer's game because they play it; not because it's a "good" game. To put this into perspective, here's why Black Ops won...


 *  - Xbox 360 exclusive, Treyarch fanboys don't want Halo to win shit.
 *  - Not bought on same scale as Black Ops.
 *  - Not bought on same scale as Black Ops.
 *  - It's a sports game, not bought on same scale as Black Ops.
 *  - Timed exclusive for Xbox 360. 
 * Limbo - Xbox 360 Exclusive.
 *  - Wii exclusive.
 *  - Xbox 360 Exclusive, people aren't into Kinect that much at the moment.
 *  - PS3 exclusive.


 * * Not a real BAFTA award, more just a popularity contest like the.

Warlord
Why would Treyarch nerf this? Anyone who is actually decent with a grenade launcher would know to use Sleight of Hand rather than Warlord, which annoys me even more that people can't do this. The M16 looks horrid in this game, it only looks good when you have the heatshield added by a Flamethrower or Grenade Launcher. But naturally because I like my gun to look real, I can't use a second attachment. I never used Warlord, but Treyarch limiting it so much is stupid. It's fair play that the player can't use extended mags and rapid fire, but all the other limitations are just a way for Treyarch not to have to add more gun model files into the game.

And the pro perk is stupid; another grenade! Multiple attachments on secondary weapons is awesome, Treyarch just had to take that out didn't they? Again, in my opinion it's just Treyarch being lazy so they don't need to make ore weapons files.

Why the the fuck does wii lack gunship but is able to have 100% of the Payback level?

Oh here, i'll spend 15 dollars for five scrapped maps that you could have put in the original game. Fuck you JD2020.... you gypsie.

Black ops has almost NO diversity. In Mw2 it can be fun to pull out a Riot Shield or Javelin. But no. Black ops get's rid of all the fun guns and is "balanced".

Nobody knoes how many times I raged because of the: FAMAS, AUG, M60, Stoner63, Ak-74u, Rapid Fire attachment, Flak Jacket, Rc-Xds, Gunships, Hacked Rayguns on MP (that happens alot to me for some reason) and *rambles on about THE WHOLE REST OF THE GAME.*

Black ops makes me embarrassed to own the wii. Hell, I'm emmbarassed just by owning black ops. I'm currently saving money for a PS3.

Lag lag lagedy-lag lag.

What the fuck are these numbers for anyway?

Ghost. Nuff said.

Oh, but Smuff, surely you can't actually hate Treyarch THIS much, right??!?
I don't hate Treyarch simply because Infinity Ward made Call of Duty (and Modern Warfare, the general CoD formula, Create-A-Class, killstreaks, a new engine, etc.), I hate Treyarch because out of everything I've ever seen that has ever been put into Call of Duty by Treyarch sucks amazingly. For those who don't know what I'm referring to, here's a list.
 * The K/D ratio completely smashed the whole idea of teamwork in FPS games, ever since that came out every last fucker on the map camps in the hope of improving a decimal number. It didn't need added.
 * The Rifle Grenades (which were translated into the Grenade Launcher in CoD4), first originated in Call of Duty 3, a Treyarch game. Few things are more annoying than being noob tubed when you're just about to take a domination flag.I am normally the person firing at the flag, but you know the experience.
 * Call of Duty 3 was what started the whole PC comes second thing. Why? Because it wasn't even made for PC!
 * "LOLOLOLOL our gunz r balanced and we hav DEDICATED SERVERS!!1!!" I think you can tell from the above how this is self-explanatory.
 * WHY DO YOU MAKE GAMES FOR THE WII, WHY?!?! Rather than trying to dedicate themselves to Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, which make up about 70ish% of their sales, they make a shitty port for the Wii every time. How the hell people actually believed that the Wii would be able to support DLC is unbelievable. No offense to Wii gamers, but the console is horrible in terms of gameplay, graphics and memory. All I can think of is that it's Treyarch trying to muster more fanboys to vote for its game at various public awards. Treyarch failed to deliver the DLC; how anyone can forgive them for that beats me.
 * What they did in World at War with all the map packs was unforgivable. I wasn't punished in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for not having the map pack for that game yet all of a sudden; BHAM, "YOU HAVE NO DLC YOU NO PLAY WAW!" It was game ruining, Treyarch's matchmaking servers are bad enough without DLC complications.
 * Treyarch bring NO innovation to their games, wtf was the emblem editor about? "Oh look at me, I made a penis!!1! LOLOLOLOL!" Rather than doing something useful like USING OR BUILDING ON IW 4.0 (or any other version of the engine available at the time), in Black Ops they once again buried their heads in the sand and bluffed gamers with crap.

That's how little innovation Treyarch has, they actually copied Spark Unlimited's cover for Finest Hour to the point they're almost identical.

But even still, this deserves a special mention in particular...
The next image is, to me, one of the single most infuriating things I've seen on the internet: I literally saw this and was like "WHAT THE FUCK!?!?" How do they define the level? The with it's insane graphics is defining the level. For Call of Duty, is the latest engine and so is the level. The game engine Treyarch uses is nowhere near that level! It's an outdated engine, how the fuck they can they define a level when they use an outdated engine made by Infinity Ward that was the level in 2007?

thumb|300px|left|From his page, he mentions this: "This games flaws are so much more annoying to me than MW2. The OMA-DC-TUBE spam was large and in charge but you knew you were the better player deep down and thats why if you equalled the playing field and had a 1 on 1 gun situation; you'd always win. In this game the lag and randomness simply eliminates skill from the equation and is about whos connections to the host is better. When you lose a gun fight, its not you being outplayed, its the games information being sent to you later than the other person."

thumb|right|300px|Here's something I taken from theater mode that I was fairly amused by. Firstly, the quality sucks and the sound gitters at times. Secondly, I encountered 6 people in that video, 3 of them were using a Famas with Ghost. I can sympathise with the comments from the guy's video beside me, I'm obviously going to kill the person I'm shooting at with my 3rd shot yet out of the blue some random guy comes out with Ghost with a Famas while my UAV is out to pretty much kill me without my screen even indicating I've been hit, it's that crap that annoys me about Black Ops.
