Call of Duty Black Ops Video Review

[Gate21IsClosed]

Black Ops SP: 6 hours = quite ok

Homefront SP: 5 hours = "FIVE FUCKING HOURS?"

i think thats rather unfair.

[LiquidExtreme12]

I like this review. It's better than most. I did however think it was a little unorganised, in the sense that you talked about the story first in quite a lot of detail, then about the multiplayer, then zombies (hardly), then the multiplayer again, followed by the story again also. Apart from that, it was good. :D

[LaMnchaUrbana]

8:00 jajajajaja xDDDD

[SuperSpeedmaster1]

it took me 30 mins to complete

[Arppis]

Black Ops story is best one in CoD series... and that doesn't say much imo.

[geran1991]

@Arppis Its the only CoD story that actually gripped me, but then again i prefer treyarch any day over Quickscope ward.....

[Arppis]

@geran1991

I think it has something to do with the fact that the main character actualy speaks in that game! XD

[geran1991]

@Arppis haha so true and i love Reznov :D

[Arppis]

@geran1991

Yeah, Reznov was awesome character! I liked him more than any other character in the game series. :)

This review really shows how everybody has a different opinion about video games. For example, this review shows that you somewhat enjoy Call of Duty: Black Ops, the single player, the multiplayer, and Zombies, but I do not. Anymore.

I had the Prestige Edition of this game preordered, because I actually belived the bullshit that Treyarch fed to us about a balanced multiplayer and so on. I played this for a while, and realized that it is utter shite.

Anyways, great review, mate! Love these.

[MrHenners12]

For me this is the most boring FPS ever, it adds nothing to the call of duty franchise. The gamplay hasn't changed whatsoever and it just copy-pastes every tiny detail from world at war. I hope in future call of duty won't just be the same game over and over but in different locations.

[realman1014]

dude, no offense, but I hated this game. Call of duty: finest hour was acually my first shooter, so im an expierienced calll of duty player. Black ops was, in my opinion, a huge disappointment. The campaign was alright, the zombies was actually fun, but it was that damn multiplayer. The guns sucked(especially the shotguns) most times i was killed was by camping, and when i did well it became waaaay too easy. i felt no challenge most of the time, and it felt boring. Bottom line. Black ops blew.

[dancinginfernal]

@realman1014 At least it was an improvement on MW2.

[realman1014]

@dancinginfernal i dont believe it was. sure, modern warfare 2 was fucked up in the multiplayer games, but i had more fun with it. plus i ussually spend a lot of time on a good game, especially cods, but i spent about 2 months playing blackops. modern warefare 2 was about 9 months

[dancinginfernal]

@realman1014 Hey, whatever. To each his own.

[2polopolo2]

THIS REVIEWS ARE WAY BETTER THAN IGN'S.

[spongeaang98]

I only really enjoyed the story (as silly and camp as it was) and the Bots function. The rest was more of the same to me.

[Aeoliandorian]

The campaign was the only good thing about this game IMO.

[XHamdogX]

blCK OPS zombies are harder than WaW

[darkwolfe720]

there is three thing u said that i did not agree with like the grahics arnt that good there outdated and the wepons sound the same and the camphing was not that good and took me 3 hours to beat p,s i think waw is better

[boomerncheeze]

I allways laugh when Bowman died (not to be racist or rude or shit) but its what Mason says and how he says it after it because he sounded like a real Australian

[Rewina7]

great review keep it up i like your reviews better than IGNorant

[MrNonStopGaming]

@Rewina7 i dont understand why so many people bash on IGN. There is nothing wrong with them at all

[kanderan1]

I suppose it's due to his family being Australian based, but he was born in america.

[brycelancer]

Hmm. I found someone sellinh it close to me for 10€...

Should I get it? :b

[dazblaze04]

and why is everyone so concerned about kdr my god who fucking cares its a game enjoy it or play something else why so many dicks play this game and like to abuse others for not being as good as them think they need to feel like there good at something in life coz they really dont have a life outside???????

[dazblaze04]

think he review this game after play for first few weeks, now after months you realise without dedicated servers the game has soooooooooooo many bugs, actually i loved the game until i played battlefield bad company 2 then realised fast that cod was fucking crap full of twats playing it who like to talk shit and boast how good they are, dont know why they have teams coz its every man for himself really

[Lordofcookiejars]

"Due to Youtube's new generous video game parameters, I thoguht I would just do it in one hit!"

*finishes within old time limit*

[awexsome2034]

I found the CoD points pretty pointless since they restrict your weapon unlocks and attachments to your xp level anyway. In fact it just added a level of annoyance.

[boyscout531]

I like your other videos but this one is just crappy. The game is just the same as the previous Call of Dutys, there is nothing new about it. Beautiful graphics? WTF? That game looks crappy, but you also play on a console so I guess you know no games which look great. (sub-720p - LOL)

[pmorrisjr20]

Shitty multiplayer hit detection, shitty matchmaking, shitty lag.

[clouds5]

One problem about the multiplayer mode is that COD Points are completely unbalanced imho. Its just interesting until lvl ~15 or so. Then you wont have to worry about your money again till you reach lvl50.

With a system like this you should have to make choices. For example: If you have a good game you get like 8k CoD points for which you can buy all perks of one grp which are then unlocked till you prestige. So its almost like it enables you everything that isnt lvl locked right away.

[boywhogames]

two questions. do you still play COD BO and what is you KDR? just curious.

[assassin26764]

recruit on combat training is so easy. My killstreak loadout on combat training is cobra, chopper gunner, and dogs. i get every one at least 2 times in every mtach

[Deradundrum]

The only map I don't like is WMD.

[SoulAndMaka1]

great review ^

[dyansisrules]

keep the vids commin m8

[Yommankey]

I'm glad you sent that PM. I really liked this review.

I really enjoy listening to someone that doesn't have the typical American accent that I hear everyday at class.

[EffectiveKill]

damn good review

[shadowtrooper01]

great review... thanks for the PM

[shadowtrooper01]

great review... thanks for the pm

[chazkm]

I'm impressed. These are the same people that make all those awful glitchy Spider-man games.

[TheCraneOfTruth]

Great review! One problem is the Combat Training can only be accessed online. Its so incredibly stupid and I wish more fans would complain about it. Who the hell wants to sing up for a Gold account to kill bots? You should be able to sit with friends and family and just play those kinds of matches in your room without having to connect at all. Zombies are great, and Dead Ops rocks, but games need more offline co-op.

[TheAuZZieGamer]

@TheCraneOfTruth i actually completely agree, i only realised that after I had posted the review....it makes no sense at all

[SplinterCellRocks]

@TheAuZZieGamer PATCH NOW LETS YOU PUT BOTS IN GAME OPTIONS ON LOCAL

YAYAYAYYAY

[Zylo587]

@TheCraneOfTruth Ah, you are thinking of offline multiplayer with bots. Games like Timesplitters 2 and Perfect Dark have it.

[DoubleStack13]

@TheCraneOfTruth Go into split screen mode and you can add computers on the other team

[geran1991]

@TheCraneOfTruth 11 months late but i realised ages ago that if you have not net online or no gold you can go to local then split screen and set a game up for just one player vs bots. You dont get any unlocking or anything and have everything including the horrid gold camo unlocked :)

[TechHarv]

@TheCraneOfTruth you know you cn go into options on the local multiplayer and ad bots...

[goben1]

dude, get more subscribers, your great!

[TheAuZZieGamer]

@goben1 lol thanks man, im trying....

[hal9o]

@TheAuZZieGamer

Mason might be half astralion

[Felaipes]

Great review, almost skipped it since it arrived to my inbox.

What's that bug about the single player mission?

I've heard about it, but finished the single player no problems

[MarineroPL]

I really enjoyed the campaign but the multiplayer is frustrating at times but not as frustrating as modern warfare 2, jesus christ...

On topic: Great review as always.

[SuperNightassassin]

very gud review bro

[FerrrisWheelPro]

What are your import settings? I want some smooth framerate on YouTube.

[Househead4life37]

Good review man...Treyarch delivered the goods on Black ops!

[TheBratterz]

I thought the review was brilliant. You're really starting to come into your own well spoken style and it makes for an enjoyable watch.

CoD Black Ops has a lot to cover but you manage to discuss key points without becoming boring or repetitive.

[gamerdude122]

*gasp* You missed Dead Ops!

[TheAuZZieGamer]

@gamerdude122 "OH NO!" i forgot about that.....i'm so ashamed lol. Nah mate thanks for that, is that that cool little arcade game?

[gamerdude122]

@TheAuZZieGamer Yeah, DOA is the top-down arcade game.

[TheAuZZieGamer]

@gamerdude122 yeah, ive actually played it at a mates house since the review, its awesome...loads of fun. Better with more people tho!

[gamerdude122]

@TheAuZZieGamer A lot of games are better with friends.

And I'm surprised I can actually understand your Australian accent cause lot of the ones I've heard slur their words around and I'm like, "WTF are you saying"? So, yeah, thanks for some voice clarity. Helps my sorry American ass, lol.

[ThatN00bGuy]

good review dude

i never played zombies on WaW (got rid of it then couple of weeks later BOOM!! zombies) so got nothing to compare it to but after awhile it gets alittle repetitive guess its one of them modes best played with friends

and i agree with what you said about multiplayer with the load outs

only thing i didnt like about multiplayer is i like to sniper and cant seem to find a great place to fuckin snipe from or i might not be as good as i think i am XD

anyway keep up the good work

[TheMassDefect]

Very good dude. Nice work.

[ripralph09]

great review



[PowerfulSplicer]

" zombie mode was very similar to call of duty world at war. In fact, as far as i could tell, it was very similar."

redundant?

[TheAuZZieGamer]

@PowerfulSplicer good observation, that was the only part of the review that wasnt scripted and it definately shows

[numbertacos]

not a bad review
