Another Review of Black Ops… and what is wrong with it
by BlackThunder on Nov.19, 2010, under News, Review
Now it is getting silly. PC gamers seem to agree that Black Ops is … well… meh… OK, but just that. But some reviews seem to be desperate not to drop it to deep. That is the only reason I can explain this:
Multiplayer:
…There are a plethora of new and interesting modes for the basic game, such as One in the Chamber, which gives everyone one shot and if you miss, you are forced to knife people until you get a kill and take their bullet. Redundancy brings the game down overall, but the new modes and Zombies keep it afloat.
Note that the PC version is now running dedicated servers as opposed to Modern Warfare 2’s iw.net system, but there are still a plethora of bugs and issues. Buyer beware, issues like the stuttering frame rate can be quite frustrating until Black Ops is patched up.
What would you think you expect the reviewers rating after what was said? C… maybe B- would that be stretching? Nope. you guessed wrong… it got an A for OUTSTANDING… say what?
Aside from the fact that Zombie Mode seems horrible broken, lame and uninspiring. Any of you tried it? How often will you come back? Oh and if you look for it, don’t look in the Multiplayer section, because you have to start this Multiplayer game from the single player campaign…. oh brother! There is so much wrong with that alone, but not even touched on.
the beauty of the web and blogs are that we are not like print dependent or limited by page sizes and word counts. Why rush the review, why not touch on things in detail? Oh… because you have not really invested that much time in it…

Actually, it recieved a C+ overall. Re-read the article. And yes, I’ve played quite a bit of the zombie mode. No, its not amazing or incredible, but its really fun if you get in with some friends. Definitely not “horrible broken, lame and uninspiring.”

I’ve played the Zombie mode and I enjoy playing here and there, but I don’t know if it will keep me coming back for more.
I still enjoy playing the game overall and I will continue to play the multi-player until the next big release for me.

Working on a review, just FYI, and it seems I am missing the hype but I have some serious writers block atm <.<

JD that was my point. I felt like they had to find a A somewhere not to let it slip into the D category. Because he wrote one thing and then still gave it an A for Multiplayer… regardless what I or you think he shows some inconsistency with the written and the score.
