Went back to Black Ops Last Night ...

I thought this game would last me until BO2 came out but i guess i just had enough of the lag and idiotic spawn system. So i tried Black Ops again yesterday and i gotta say the game feels entirely different. First of all, and this is the most immediate thing i noticed. When you are host in BO you dont lag behind everyone. There are no more WTF moments that make you want to pull your hair out. It was so amazing and smooth and fun.
The next thing i noticed was that the spawn system made sense and i wasnt being killed the second i spawned. You actually have time to breath and go where you want. Maps are just better and the spawn system is perfect. I also didnt get thrown into games that were already in progress, not sure if its because i was playing earlier in the day or what but everytime i joined a new lobby it was still during map selection which was nice.
The basic core components that make a FPS fun are just broken in MW3. Until they fix them i will be playing Black Ops. I wasted 100 dollars on this game and was fooled into purchasing the Hardened Edition, but that wont happen again. I will buy BO2 when it comes out, but there is no way i will be buying another IW title until i see its actually working properly.
Adios ;-) .

in my opinion the spawns on BO were far from perfect and i hated the maps but that is just me. And to the joining no games in progress u got to remember less people are playing BO right now.
Stay there!
True. there are far fewer people playing it, but i dont see how that would help me join lobbies that are in progress vs ones in game. I dunno..
I guess the main point is that for me its just more fun and less frustrating overall. It requires more skill to play. You dont have little kids running around spraying their akimbo's and blowing you up when they die. No more newbs spamming their Strikers and being tards. No more quick scoping idiots... Such a breath of fresh air.
If they can improve on BO in BO2 then i cant wait !!! I just hope they dont take a step backwards like MW3 did.
I played some MW and MW2 last night, and I am gonna stick with that for awhile. I still have one more prestige in MW2, and one more prestige in MW. And don't mind these trolls that commented, they're only IW fanboys who think that everything in the game is perfect, even though it isn't.
you know alot of people loved that game but i traded it in on homefront......bad idea. ive never been a fan of treyarch games but it wasnt all tht bad. i loved mw2 and not for the cheap things since all i played was HC HQ and HC SnD. just loved the run and gone and the maps. IMO BO ruined maps and actual sniping.....maps from the sniping point of view anyway
I'm kinda hoping they don't title it Black Ops 2. There's no need to start another chain of titles that gets progressively worse... I liked the "Iron Wolf" title, but I'm pretty sure it's fake.
I would like to see treyarch get into the modern stuff instead of staying in the past. IMO that is what makes MW, MW2, MW3 more fun for me. but what ever they do they need to use the right guns for the time period this time around.
Great story OP - Can you tell it again?
I can agree with this. If there was no OMA/Danger Close, MW2 would be perfect IMO.
I did like the maps in Black Ops, but they did mess with sniping too much to do it on a consistant basis. Other than that, Black Ops had good gun balance (besides the FAMAS), and it was an overall, fun game. The lag compensation did have a good run in that game's prime, however, I've never experienced it in Black Ops as bad as it is in MW3.. The game is practically unplayable.
