Her we go again. I will not post all problems, because this post would be too long.

First and foremost, COMPLETE CRAP and an ABOMINATION on PS3.

WORST Matchmaking in any CoD. No way in hell that someone should be matched up with people on the other side of the world constantly. Especially when you come out after MW2s matchmaking system.

Gun selection was utter crap.

Some of the most worthless KS, couldve just left them at 3,5,7.

Perk system was crap, Ghost/Flack Jacket, SoH, and usually Hacker/Marathon most used.

The majority of patches were to finish the game months after it came out.

Theater mode hindered connection way too much.

It beat the hell out of PS3s.

Gunship was supposedly patched over and over, yet near the end there was still youtube footage of it not working.

Napalm fire constantly going into enclosed buildings.

Way to many lost host connections well into the end of the game.

yes black ops is far superior to mw3,ok there were matchmaking issues and lag,but mw3 is utter dog.for some reason it feels like everyone is of equal skill on this game ,which cannot be true.black ops maps piss all over mw3 maps ,guns better on black ops ,graphics better on black ops ,playercard and theatre better on black ops

I stuck Blops on last night just for a quick match.... Didn't enjoy it very much and I won't be putting it back in the ps3 anytime soon. Mw3 has problems but it's a far better and more interesting game than fail ops.

Currently I'm leaning more towards black ops. I loved sticks and stones and gun game! I loved the maps far more than mw3, so far the maps are just bland, although that may change with map packs (I hope). Other than that I like both games.

Oh and currently there's something about mw3 that just kind of feels lacking. I can't put my finger on it but it feels kind of bland and like it's missing something. It's probably just the crap maps I guess.

It was literally a suprerior game in almost every way. Black Ops had it's faults, but after all the patches it was so much fun. Couldn't wait to play that game, MW3 is already feeling like a chore.

i RQd from MW3 yesterday and played BO and i have to say one thing, it is WAAAAAAAAY easier to tomahawk than throwing knife.idk why but it is.

that is all

Yes black ops is wayyyyyyyyy better. 

I know some people mentioned lag or hit detection issues, but ive never had any.  I however have massive lag issues in mw3 (to go along with the plethora of other problems).

Outside of graphics I cant think of any single element of mutliplayer that is better in mw3.

My personal favorite part of BO is the shooting.  Black ops had no idle sway and decent kick on most guns.  This required skilled burst firing at many ranges to get kills.  MW3 is practically full auto at all ranges.  The fact is that idle sway makes lining up the 2nd burst slower and more difficult.  Its easier and just as effective to lay on full auto.  I dont like that.

I want skill difference between good and bad players to be shown in my games.  MW3 went out of its way to make that as small as possible.

Presentation BLACK OPS wins (by miles, even a working version of Elite has less stats)

Options MW3 wins (more game modes, clan ops etc. on Elite)

Customisation BLACK OPS wins (Player Card alone kicks ass)

Weapons, Perks, Streaks etc. MW3 wins (BOps was good but the strike packages, per class and proficiences win)

Maps BLACK OPS wins (more varied, map packs could change the balance here though cos BOps were uninspired)

Gun on gun combat MW3 wins (due some weird hit detection thing on BOps)

General game balance TIE (BOps was very balanced, perhaps a little streak orientated)

Lag/connectivity/matchmaking MW3 wins (and this is the crucial one, maybe MW3 gets worse, it can still get a lot better, but BOps died over this)

So I choose MW3 based on the last point- it's the playability one at least. But BOps had some excellent ideas and it's customisation was great. It could've been a true great.

Black Ops, although Treyarcs best effort yet had no diversity. Restrictions on how to build guns. A killstreak system that catered to campers and left the weaker players without the higher killstreaks.

The guns had no personality,and it did not matter if you picked up a Galil or an AK47 because it still had 40-30 dmg and the dropdown occuring at 37,5 meters. (Same dropdown whatever AR you chose).

In MW3 you can customize your gun to an extent that simply where not possible in Black Ops and every gun has different stats.

Although after a lot a patches making the game playable on the PS3 in late february 2011 it was a somewhat enjoyable experience it is a pile of dog doo doo compared to any Modern Warfare game 1,2 or 3.

At the moment I would have to say that Black Ops is the better game. Most of the issues that people seem to have with black ops didn't effect me at all, so I would blame most of that either on player skill level or connection issues.

That said, MW3 has potential. Remember, BOps has been out since 2010 and has had time to be patched. And recognizing this, I reserve the right to change my opinion once the devs iron out some issues with MW3. It is already getting better.

The first night of release, I quit after playing one game because I couldn't join a match with a party. That was fixed. The lag and connection issues are a work in progress, but are already noticably better from launch. I am also being rewarded for drinking Mountain Dew.

Hopefully by early 2012, most of the issues with MW3's playability will be fixed.

And I really miss the dolphin dive...

older gamers like MW3 and the younger and newer gamers like crap ops....Treyarch made one decent game and it wasn't black ops..
