For all you xbox players out there:

Do you all think Black ops is as fun/better than Modern Warfare Two? Do you have a better time playing it?

Personally, I think that MW2 is waaay better for a couple reasons. First off, it is probably the best call of duty title for quickscoping, although Cod4 is a close second. Also, the gameplay seems much more fun and clean. I definitely love to use all the scrubby things like riot shields and javelins. I know some people don't like nubtubz very well but I don't mind them at all. All my friends play this too because they feel the same way.

Black Ops, on the other hand, is a whole different story. It seems like to do well in it one just has to out-camp another. I hate how try-hard all the players are and how poor treyarch is at making games (imo all their success is from IW previous games). Also, the maps are pretty drab and predictable. It just seems treyarch caters to the extremely casual player what with the simple maps and ez mode guns (ak74u). The gameplay is just boring. It takes way less skill.
The only good part is zombies.

So what do you all think? Is MW2 better than Black Ops? Is it more fun? Discuss!
Edit: I should've clarified. I'm talking about multiplayer in general, not campaign.

Both are absolutely terrible. As far I'm concerned, it's like comparing Shit to Piss.
Black Ops is the more balanced game, which is the deciding factor in which is, "more fun," to me.

P.S. MW2 was the WORST CoD, BY FAR, when it comes to quickscoping. Making it easy defeats the purpose of quickscoping, and with that out of concern, I really see no reason to elect MW2 the best in comparison to.... anything.

Why does easier quickscoping defeat its purpose? It's certainly still not "easy". By that logic quickscoping is best in halo 3 or using a wa2000 in black ops. Quickscoping must at least be doable, and a legitamate strategy, otherwise it would just be fucking frustrating.

I'm going to go at it with a very casual perspective.

I haven't played many FPS shooters, I've played Vegas, Battlefield, GoW, CoD and I play them for the campaign and don't spend much time online.

Now MW2 had a really nice campaign, I could not put down the game because I wanted to know what happens etc. I had tons of fun playing the game, mastering the weapons and the the spec ops was really fun too. Was so fun having a friend over and try to 3 star some of those echo missions. Geez armor piercing was brutal! As for online goes, I think the maps were very well done and I really enjoyed them. I was a noobie with like a 0.9 KDR but I could play very strategically and it was fun.

Black ops, well actually I found the campaign so boring I had to stop playing it half way through, I didn't like how it was done, the story seemed very one dimentional. I like some of the new weapons like the crossbow which is fun to use. Possibly my favorite thing though is that person vs ai mode. When my friend comes over it's a blast playing 2 v 8 computers and we both feel like winners afterward. I personally don't enjoy the online much, not that I suck, it's just the maps feel like they have poor texture and not very well thought out. My friends tell me it's more competitive that MW2, which it maybe is, but the games I play nobody gets good streaks if they are better than your opponents just because it's made to be like - you kill a guy, you die type of deal. I feel like it's continouesly 1a'ing in starcraft.

The verdict, MW2 is a funner game.

I am just a casual FPS player, but I am split between the two games. I like the feel of black ops better (dont ask what the definition of "feel" is, it just is what it is lol). I also like the wager matches of black ops a lot.

However, I for some unexplained reason, was addicted to leveling up in MW2, but do not get that same feeling in black ops. I think it was because I liked trying to earn all the emblems and callsigns, whereas its not the same in black ops when you can just buy whatever you want. I like that idea for perks and such, but I don't enjoy it for the personalization. I loved running around feeling all cool and such with my callsign for two headshots with one bullet.
Take anything I say with a grain of salt.....I suck at this game. Also, Go Blue!

I hated MW2. The campaign in MW1 was so good, and they completely ruined it in MW2, IMO. And the multiplayer was so unbalanced and broken -_-

Black Ops is better, but not by much -_-

MW1 is probably the best COD out there. Perfect story, perfect voice acting, perfect cutscenes (unlike the shitty cutscenes blizzard pulls off). MW2 and BO don't compare to MW1.

Oh yeah, thats something I totally forgot to mention. how AWFUL MW2's campaign was. Black Ops was not nearly as good as MW1, but still a lot better than MW2.

I played MW2 on PC and have played BO just once but i think that there is no difference, When i played MW2 we were 13th on ClanBase EU. (its playing without attachments and perks) it was fun to play with friends. So i asked my ex clan mates what they think about BO so far and they were disappointed. MW2 is just year older than BO, its like what is more fun fifa 2010 or 2011 ?

OT: 2 days ago i played QL against some dude who plays also BO and he told me that there are some tournaments. is it true ? he also told me that its on IEM :o and it got the biggest prize pool and SC2 is dieing. is it true ?

I only really played MW2 and blkops, mostly blkops and only MW2 on the free weekends for steam. I only play these games for the multiplayer and really they are practically the same except blkops offers zombies. In terms of Multiplayer experience they are practically the same game. If you have MW2 online you aren't missing much on blkops. The only COD I own is blkops on 360 and that's good for me.

Personally, I'm into the semi-autos such as the M14 and some of the assault rifle. A lot of the weapons feel great to use and I frag hard so it's all fun. The Tomahawk, Crossbow and Commando are fun to use, also it's easier to prestige so it actually feels doable to reprogress over and over. Some of the maps are awful but they are redeemed by Firing Range and Nuke Town, I hope they get more maps like those. I honestly would tell you to play whichever COD you wish but I think blkops might have more users simply because it's a newer edition.

as someone who played FPS all the time until sc2 (starting when halo pulled me off of bw around 2001) and someone who played both mw2 and BO at a rather high level I have to say BO is the better game because of the fact that the maps in MW2 were horrid and the fact that those damn 1887's weren't patched for wayyyyy to long and then when they were so many people only knew how to play like that that all they did was switch to akimbo rangers with marathon and commando (and w/e else they wanted usually ninja pro) that it made the game awful for people actually trying to play a FPS not some bs who sprints faster and knives quicker, and in terms of quick scoping...it was stupid, why use a sniper if you were going to fight at assault rifle distances? imo it ruined CoD when people figured this out and turned it into an elitist community of people who quick scoped and those who didn't were "noobs"...its like someone who 4 gates and transitions into mass dt's...doesn't make you good just because you win with it just makes people wonder what you were thinking...sorry...my hatred for CoD was renewed here..imo none of the CoD's since MW are even remotely good

I played a lot of Gamebattles games with my friends on both games and MW2 is definitely way more fun. Black Ops is just boring... the weapons aren't interesting, the maps aren't interesting, the perks aren't interesting; nothing about the game is super fun. When I get bored of playing regular in MW2, I do a pure knife build or quickscoping. 1v1's in that game are actually fun. Just the game is better... that's it.

Personally I prefer MW2 to Black ops because I feel the gameplay is better and I had a lot more fun playing it. The best call of duty game is Call of Duty 4 by far because the gameplay was amazing and it was really fun. I also think COD4 was better competitive wise than MW2 and BO.

MW2 was great just for the... well modern-ness of it. I cant stand the constant noob tubes and quickscoping. Other than that i dont have too much of a problem

I personally hate black ops multiplayer for the fucking killstreaks. Theyre all terrible. Cant stand the rc-xds. And how you seem to catch fire from napalm strikes 50 miles away

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was the best of them,
World at War was terrible.
Modern Warfare 2 was an improvement on CoD4 but it didn't have the same feel as MW1.

Black ops is terrible, I played about 5 minutes of the campaign and did something wrong twice, and said screw it. The Multiplayer is Okay, but i get confused, am i in 1954 or is it modern day with guns that are just so old? I think Treyarch are just stuck in a world where they want everything to be WW2 style, but it's just not working.

I think you can see a trend that Infinity Ward knew the game much better than treyarch.

call of duty 4 is still one of the best fps out there. but im going to go black ops > mw2 since treyarch actually listens to their community, and well, ascension zombies is so fucking good.

I say Battlefield Bad Company 2 is better than both of them.

MW2 is garbage; always was
Black Ops is meh
MW1 was probably my favorite multiplayer fps ever, except for goldeneye 007 of course (yay nostalgia)

If I do play a CoD I play black ops; game actually feels balanced compared to MW2.

MW2 is absolutely ridiculous and broken--not only things like OMA tubing and how killstreaks worked, but also things like the ACR and the sniper rifles weren't really balanced--but it was fun because of it. Also the maps were more open and felt larger and less linear and had a ridiculous number of lines of sight. Not to mention that you had more firepower since you could carry secondary shotguns or crazier yet the M93 aka pocket M16.

Black Ops took out many of the excesses, but I think is less fun. CoD4 ofc is the best of them all.
Try using both Irradiate and Defensive Matrix on an Overlord. It looks pretty neat.

haven't played blackops but for me cod4 was definitely better than mw2
-better weapon balance
-better perk balance
-better maps
campaign was better too
mw2 campaign was just trying to be overly dramatic for the sake of being overly dramatic

the killstreaks in mw2 were absolutely ridiculous and i agree with what sega92 said about quickscoping

edit: but still mw2 was fun thanks to all the gimmicky stuff you could do

Modern Warfare 2 was broken , commando, one man army danger close noobtube combo, etc. Black ops is probably the most balanced of all the call of dutys because I don't really find anything broken with the game.

Call of duty world at war is the best multiplayer to be honest by far, but worst campaign
and the COD4 at the begining was so huge and intense but MW2 and black ops are sometimes really annoying and boring
I hated CoD Mw2 so much, just the campaign was actually awesome
black ops campaign is awesome but the ending is the worst of all
EDIT:
Modern warfare 2: i started hating it when i saw that you get the last thing at lvl 40 and you must need to get to 70 to prestige
that was really annoying.
by far the best CoD on prestiges symbols are black ops thus far.
and WaW for sure.

LOL

That's why I hate MW2 multiplayer. The map design was TERRIBLE, and the killstreaks were so completely broken. Have fun not being able to spawn once the enemy gets a Chopper Gunner -_-

And don't even get me started on bullshit like OMA and the combo of Marathon/Lightweight/Commando.

Although MW2 was certainly broken and was way too noob friendly it was indeed a lot more fun than Black Ops. But looking back at both games they were both actually pretty bad and probably didn't deserve the aclaim that they got.

I don't see any reason to play MW2 or BLOPS when Battlefield BC2 exists, if you are into those more casual FPS games. If you like more hardcore shooters, there is always Quake Live. If you like COD and haven't tried Battlefield yet I guess you might as well wait for BF3.

Black ops for the PC=absolute shit, no joke. The support is terrible and it still doesn't work properly for alot of people. I only play it because some friends bought it. MW2 was more fun imo, yes it had noobtubes and ezmode quickscoping but it was way more fun for me due to the ridicilous factor.

Also hip-firing is incredibly effective in Black Ops(too effective).

Even though MW2 was ridiculous sometimes i still like it more than blackops. I'm a sniper and quickscoping was pretty fun, now they ruined it

MW2 was over the top, but it turns out that over the top was actually fun. So action packed :D

Not the biggest fan of either though, but MW2 was fun if you had nothing else to do.

Dang, they screwed up quick-scoping? The was the best part! Don't get me on realism because realism honestly has no place in a multiplayer game. The recent interviews on Dustin Browder on SC2 is the perfect example. If you're gonna complain about quick-scoping, then just don't play.

Yup, QL is played at IEM but it doesn't have the biggest prize pool and SC2 isn't dying. You can watch VODs of the games on the ESLTV. QL has a pretty devoted following of players that have been around for years and is free to play. It also takes a ridiculous amount of skill and if you can make it past the urge to rage quit when you're getting destroyed early on then you'll find there's no better fps out there.

As for MW2 and BO, I've played every CoD since the first one came out on PC up to MW2 but I've never played BO. MW2 was one of the worst multi-player fps games I've ever played and felt like little more than an arcade game. No skill involved, no strategy. Just camping and spraying. It represents, to me at least, everything that's wrong with fps games. It says a lot when games like counter-strike and Quake are still considered better games.

consoles are cheaper? stop with the pc elitism anyway, people play this for fun not for a full time job. everyone know competitive console gaming will never be as high skilled as pc but its just a pass time and a bit of fun so who cares right?

anyway, black ops sucks, im literally just playing it to get 15th prestige. the addition of 24/7 nuketown and merc playlists helped a lot though. im just hoping mw3 will be awesome.

Hmm? I dont get it.

Or you mean that sniping is sitting back and waiting?


good snipers can do both.

Well yea if you can snipe fast you can snipe slow aswell. I just dont find it fun to camp out in the back of the map picking people off

But CoD has always had quickscoping, it's one of the more unique things about the game, but then they "removed" it in Black Ops, which made the game boring for alot of people.

choosing between them is torture because they both sucked pretty hard in comparison to cod4. i suppose i would go with mw2 since it is an extension of cod4.

CoD4 was the best, with that aside I played both quite a bit and I'm going to have to go with MW2 being better. Sometimes the noob tubes and knifing got out of hand, but the game being over the top made it fun. I loved the SPAS. Black Ops was more balanced, been done, done that...boring.

CoD4 was the best of the worst. There are far better FPS's, the only reason CoD is worth buying is because it's a game everyone gets so you can play it with friends.

MW1 > Black Ops > MW2 quite easily.

Mw2 was terrible everything was just too easy and full of glitches and the kill streaks made me cry D:

I personally hate black ops multiplayer for the fucking killstreaks. Theyre all terrible. Cant stand the rc-xds. And how you seem to catch fire from napalm strikes 50 miles away



LOL

That's why I hate MW2 multiplayer. The map design was TERRIBLE, and the killstreaks were so completely broken. Have fun not being able to spawn once the enemy gets a Chopper Gunner -_-

And don't even get me started on bullshit like OMA and the combo of Marathon/Lightweight/Commando.

That was literally the combo that made me LIKE COD because it was so ridiculous...throw on a tac knife on the pistol too with it

I wish that combo was in black ops, but honestly the fun I have with the COD series is making up the most ridiculous combos I can think of.

i havent enjoyed a cod since cod4, mw2 was a piece of imbalanced shit with gamebreaking bugs that were only fixed months after release, black ops the maps were just so boring and it had all been done before. the cod community is one of the worst videogame communities ive ever seen.

i still play cod4 loads

Black Ops is the more balanced game, which is the deciding factor in which is, "more fun," to me.

P.S. MW2 was the WORST CoD, BY FAR, when it comes to quickscoping. Making it easy defeats the purpose of quickscoping, and with that out of concern, I really see no reason to elect MW2 the best in comparison to.... anything.

Why does easier quickscoping defeat its purpose? It's certainly still not "easy". By that logic quickscoping is best in halo 3 or using a wa2000 in black ops. Quickscoping must at least be doable, and a legitamate strategy, otherwise it would just be fucking frustrating.


Having sniper killing potential (1-shot to, what I believe is, the majority of the body, with stopping power) over a course of all ranges, with great amounts of ammo and non-lacking of mobility.
If that's ANYTHING but reserved for only the best of the best, it's broken imo.

And it wasn't. Any random could quickscope exclusively for about a day or two and be perfectly fine with it.

You ask for an opinion on which of two games that are both flawed to the point where competitive gameplay is a laughable concept and are ENTIRELY geared towards feeding the masses and making money, and when people start posting their honest opinions, you want to close YOUR thread...

Lol.



And I agree with what was said before. I don't think that they're good games (maybe with the exception of CoD4), but I still by them because I like playing with my friends. And EVERYONE buys these, so it's a safe bet.

consoles are cheaper? stop with the pc elitism anyway, people play this for fun not for a full time job. everyone know competitive console gaming will never be as high skilled as pc but its just a pass time and a bit of fun so who cares right?

anyway, black ops sucks, im literally just playing it to get 15th prestige. the addition of 24/7 nuketown and merc playlists helped a lot though. im just hoping mw3 will be awesome.


i mean if you have a good pc and a console

its so much better on pc than console

MW2 + Black Ops have the worst spawn systems. I think we can collectively agree on this.

Also, these game promotes so much camping. Campers have an inherent advantage, but with killstreaks involved, there is even more camping so you can get your chopper gunner. In fact the killstreak mechanic is broken in itself. It makes those who are having trouble get raped even further instead of just keeping it the same (the deathstreaks were terrible). Objective games become campfests for K/D whores who want to boost their rating (and won't shoot down choppers since that won't boost their rating).

10th prestige lobbies were also omnipresent. After every match, I'd receive like 10 messages saying "10th prestige only 800 microsoft points." Ranking is not worth 800 microsoft points, although it gives you an unfair advantage over other players, i.e. more class slots and weapons/attachments. It punishes new players for simply being new. New players don't even have missiles to shoot down the overpowered killstreaks. It also promoted jtags/hackers and screwed over the game.

At least Black Ops is better in that there were no horrible exploits that were in MW2. This includes infinite care packages, elevator, and wall breaching.

MW1 was so much better. Toned down killstreaks that didn't completely break the game. Better spawns. No nuke boosting.

Edit: as an example of the shitty spawns, I spawned into my own martyrdom grenade and suicided about .5 seconds after spawning.

I dislike MW2, well the online i got 1000 points(gamerscore) made it to level 70 bosting with my friend for the 100% and sold it to my friend.
A little while ago I played black ops at my friend's house and it just felt bad, i only played for a hour but the Assalt Rifles seemed laggy compared to MW2 and CoD4, so i stopped playing.

Saying that MW2 was the best for quickscoping proves that you are a "newbie" to the CoD franchise. CoD2 was by far the best for quickscoping as in competitive games teams could only have 1 scope sniper.

Also quickscoping, in my opinion, is the downfall of the CoD community (just look at all the mini grizzes that have spawned).

Modern Warfare 1 was the best out of the three.

When I'm playing a shooter online I kind of want it to be about, y'know, guns. Not riot shields w/ akimbo old-style single-shot shotguns, throwing knives, knife-guns, crossbows, exploding land rovers, and the ability to say "Hey, guess what? I got a huge kill-streak, I'm just going to end the game and ruin everyone else's fun!"

I never played MW:1 but I have played MW:2 and Black Ops.

I hate Black Ops. It feels so much more clunky, cheesy, and bland compared to MW:2. I see a lot of people are complaining about balance in MW:2 but I never found that to be a problem. At least there weren't any cheesy RC cars with bombs strapped to them in MW:2. That's just an absurd addition to a war game.

Black Ops is the only game I've ever bought and thought almost immediately - "Fuck, I just wasted money."

cod 1&2 for life. 4 was fine as well but got boooooooring quick at a competitive level (running around with the same single gun all game every game :S).

They just don't make fps like they used to

Big part is the lack of sidelocking guns, they can have 9 million different assault rifles but one or two are inevitably going to be the best and hence the only ones seeing any use above the "bronze" level.

Also not having bolt rifles just makes the games so monotone. + Show Spoiler +

I don't particularly like either of them. Reason being is that it's just more of the same. There's only so many times you can release something year after year after year after year before it gets monotonous, boring, and just a complete rip off.

But if I HAD to pick one it would easily be Black Ops. Modern Warfare 2 was more fun, but I'll be totally honest, it was more fun because of how completely fucking broken it was. It is still one of the worst online experiences I've ever had though. There are as many glitches and bugs as fingers on my hands. There are even more balance issues than that. And to make it worse still it was never fully patched. Instead it was released, 2 15 dollar map packs were thrown out for it, and then they said "Fuck it. We made our money." And yet people still buy this shit series up. It's just mind boggling.

ActiVi$ion did it with Guitar Hero, and they're doing it with CoD. The fad WILL die down eventually too. People are fickle. And most* console gamers, I hate to say it, are fickle idiots. I mean you kind of have to be when you drop 60 bucks year after year on the same damn thing. There was a time when there would be expansions, but now they're full releases. And don't say "single player" either. Nobody cares about the CoD single player. Battlefield Bad Company 2 has shown a good business model. Reward people for buying the game, and release a massive expansion pack. Done. No fucking around. No ripping people off.

In all honestly I'd rather play CoD4. Then I'd rather play with my own feces before touching any of the other ones after CoD4.

What, you are seriously comparing piss with shit. Cod2 was the peak and MW imported a whole bunch of 12 year olds. Now you end up with two games that are shitty since they copied a formula that MW started and did it to death. If you want a decent shooter look else where.

O_o I find quickscoping hard as fuck but maybe that's because I'm PC gamer.
E; Hitboxes suck hard and ping doesn't help either making it practically impossible to rely on your skill while you quickscope moving target.

And the very sad thing with MW2 was that deveolopers didn't care a shit about the game.
