Call of Duty: Black Ops

Post by Detective Tommy »

I just got an XBOX 360, for Christmas. :)
Does anyone play Call of Duty: Black Ops? I'm thinking about getting it.

I also have the Kinect. I'm so excited. :D

What do you mean "the same"? I never played Call of Duty before.
And I'm 16. ::)

Oh, haha. I think I'll get it. I've played Modern Warfare before, and it was pretty hard.
I had horrible aim. Dx

Squarepants here means that ever since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, infinity ward/treyarch have pretty much just used the cookie cutter formula that made COD4 so good; this is especially the case for Treyarch games because they really don't do anything, they just take source code and make some crappy maps :P

I have Black Ops, I don't play it too much...if you haven't gotten it yet, I'd recommend getting something else thats maybe cheaper so you can get 2-3 games for the same price of Black Ops.

Red Dead Redemption is an awesome game, as with Mass Effect 2.

I can say that I've personally sold roughly two hundred copies of Black Ops since it came out, and there's no second-hand slot for the game at Argos because nobody's returned it. So the people who're buying it evidently like it. That said, most of the people who bought it were queueing for two hours before the store opened, so it's possibly only the kind of game that you're into if you're really into it.

eh?  Do you work at gamestop or something similar?

Call of Duty Black Ops currently owns the record of the highest grossing video game I believe, and it's no shocker since there are more and more gamers every year and the COD franchise is immensely popular.  However sales don't always reflect the quality of a game; It's not a bad game but I don't think it's better than the games before it made by Infinity Ward.  I think there are better games to get, depending on what you like (RPGs/Sandbox/Adventure)

Modern Warfare is one of the COD games? I didn't know this. XD
I played it with my cousin.

I like Halo though... ::)

So I might get COD: Black Ops. Just because it's new.

Nah, Argos, but our branch's videogames section is pretty major. Mainly because there is NOTHING else for kids to do in our town.

Eh, kids don't really have a whole lot to do except play video games :P

I'm unfamiliar with Argos *shrugs

Never heard of it. Is it a small town where everybody knows everybody?
I only know of Game Stop, Best Buy, Etc.

So... I should get COD Black Ops?
My XBOX360 came with 3 free games. 2 with the XBOX, and 1 with the Kinect.

Get the Wii Goldeneye. It's very similar to the CoD games but has better, more fun game design than the last 2-3 games and is infinitely more believable and less stupid. Or Call of Duty 1 or 4.

Or any 360 game that isn't a Call of Duty game made after 4.

Why not just get the newest one? Is there a reason?
Since 1 and 4 is probably cheaper, I might go with those.

The older ones are better and cheaper.
