it was never gonna catch mw2 tbh

cyborg4920d ago

with only 30 reviews, by the time meta's done with it, it might catch up.

Red_Orange_Juice4920d ago (Edited 4920d ago )

most of the time it goes down

I believe Halo Reach debuted at around 94, and it's 91 now same as KZ2.

raztad4920d ago

right. Late reviews tend to move the average down.

What is kinda ironic is that seems BO is better than MW2, but contrary to the insane hype behind MW2. BO "more of the same" complain is driving the scores down as you would expect. Still 85+ scores is nothing to scoff at

I'm FAR more interested in the amount of fun I am going to have with this game for months to come.

Seriously, my best friends and I have played the last three CoD's together and had months worth of competitive fun.

Best games ever? Of course not. Great time for me and the guys? Hell yes. That is what I am most interested in.

OneSneakyMofo4920d ago

Who cares? You either like the game or you don't. Some moron websites rated Heavy Rain a 4.5. That made me laugh so hard for nearly 10 minutes.

Lifendz4920d ago

Well, MW2 was highly overrated by the critics so this doesn't really mean much.

Longrod_Von_Hugendon4920d ago

It's the end of an era....the noob era... long live Bl Ops and where it takes skill to get kills!

Hoorah!

black ops has minor glitches still
i be shooting at the fuckers from behind and somehow they manage to miss him and they run away
but this only happens sometimes to me

Venatus-Deus4920d ago

That's not a glitch.

It's called 'lag'

FrankDrebin4920d ago

Seriously? This is retarded!

GTmonster4920d ago

the sales should be higher for black ops

DevilsOwn4920d ago

Both games are insanely fun, saying which one is better is only a matter of personal preference.

scar204920d ago

Mw2 has really died down in the noobtubing so im playing it more often now.

Red_Orange_Juice4920d ago

It matters enough to get it posted :) I couldn't care less though.

gameseveryday4920d ago

I dont care abt meta, I care of great and unique game play. if Black Ops has less glitches than MW2, than I would care less abt the score.

Caffo014920d ago

unique? then find something else to play...

CrzyFooL4920d ago

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G263d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood263d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G263d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade262d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty263d ago (Edited 263d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality262d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator262d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G262d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85263d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai263d ago (Edited 263d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G263d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo263d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg263d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast262d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
