I'm getting it day one. Not sure if I'll be going to the midnight release or not for this game. Still looking forward to it. Zombie time will be soon.

I might just get rid of all my other games once this comes out... whats the point of owning anything once I have it... I mean... COD MW and MW2 pretty much never left my drive.

So who will be buying this for sure? Looking forward to playing this. Getting it for Xbox. I can handle the bad dashboard update for this game.

I'll be a definite. Look for me to be on Tuesday after work. I'll be getting it for 360 at first but may also get it on PS3 a little later to play with my friends from school

This is what happens when no Beta is available.

Yeah a beta would have been nice but it wouldnt have found everything. When you have the amount of players Call of Duty gets its almost naive to think that they wont find every glitch there is no matter how small and make it seem like a huge thing.
All we can hope for is that when glitches are found they are patched quickly. which seems somewhat hopeful since the video you posted is already down. but theres probably already 5 more just like it that went up

So how does everyone like this game? I can't get it for 360 since my dvd drive is busted, and I just plain ole hate playing fps on console. From what I hear about the PC port I will not be picking it up until a patch is put out to address all the horrible problems plaguing that version of the game. www.metacritic.com/game/pc/call-of-duty-black-ops/user-reviews Its just bad news for all us PC gamers still around that made this all possible for console gamers.

Wow didnt realize how bad the PC multiplayer was. There are some problems finding matches on the 360 version but its almost trivial and is the same for all CoDs at their launch. I have noticed that having everyone go back to the main Start menu helps out, why i dont know.
Lag doesnt really seem to be an issue, at least for me anyway. There are a handful of people with bad connections the will be jumping around and maybe 1 match a night that is laggy but nothing that had made it unplayable. Id say thats not bad for the number of people that are playing at any given time on LIVE. Most i've seen was around 3.7-3.9 million. Right now theres around 640k at 3am east coast time more than most game will ever see.
The maps arent that bad but not amazing. So far they seem balanced enough to prevent getting stuck in one area for to long. Definitely a few funnel points and enough different area and doors so that its impossible to be watching all sides at once. Theres camping but its not as bad as other games.
Spawns could use some upgrading. mostly on the smaller maps. i've lost count how many times ive killed someone then ran into them spawning and vice-versa or kill someone and have them spawn right behind you.
Hands down like it better than Reach so far. Love being able to kill more than 1 person with a whole clip and not having to play for a week straight to rank up once. Contracts are a nice fun little bonus but i do wish more would give xp and more were added more often.
Overall its definitely one of the better CoDs. Not sure id say its better than 2 and the MWs since I havent played them in some time to compare but its hands down better than 3 and WaW. It is definitely one of the most balanced of the series with no gun or kill streaks that seem to dominate over everything at least so far.
Game of the Year? Probably not, maybe for multiplayer. Worth the money? Definitely. Keep me occupied till Gears 3 in 1 year? possible since theres not many big name mp games do out soon. The mp game to play right now? without a doubt, sorry Reach but you're a dust collector now.

Well after having the game for almost a week, I gave the campaign a try...
its pretty crappy... to be quite honest, the interface in the game is extremely wonky, easily getting lost in menus between rounds.
Overall, the customization aspect is pretty cool, I bought the camos for the guns, and face paints... you can make your own player card which is cool, and add the emblem on your player card to your gun... bonus.
The single thing I like most about the customization, is putting your CLAN tag on the gun... its really the icing on the cake, making that gun yours.
the issue I have now, is that leveling your perks to PRO is sometimes intangible to what you are doing... To Level up some perks requirements are just ridiculous... Having to capture flags and get first blood, just to make your MARATHON perk PRO is lame, especially if you NEVER play capture the flag... and the people playing capture the flag are just camping way off to the side getting killstreaks.
The fact that people are cheating and boosting and what not, just adds to the frustration of doing anything besides killing...
In that Category, this game exceeds... I shoot things and they die... sometimes they line up, and I shoot them, one after another. This pleases me.

Well now that i have Prestiged (or will in a few matches, some xp to finish off lvl 50) I kind of wish they did the leveling differently.
First off they should have left it at 75 to prestige and not brought it back down to 50 since it is now way to easy to go through all the levels. I did it in little less than a week with moderate game play. It will definitely be possible for people to be legit 15ths by Christmas if not sooner.
Next I'm starting to not like the whole buy perks/guns/whatever when you can afford it not when you're a specific level (some things still require specific levels but other than a hand full of assault rifles and the crossbow you can buy it before you're a 20). The reason i dont like this is that it used to be fun to have to work to a level to get the gun/perk you want or have an ideal killstreak setup. Now you can have what you want right off the bat with little work.
Lastly it would have been nice it they did space out what you unlock so you get more stuff at the later levels. I feel like ive been using the same exact setups since the early 20s. And what you do get later on is crap and not even worth the points to unlock
I'll update this post once i rollover to let you all know what you lose and what you get when you prestige.
Update... well if you decide to prestige say good bye to everything except your player card
you do get - extra class slot on every odd number prestige up to 9 (same as every CoD) prestige tdm ( hardcore is at 10, and pure at 15 (no one has these yet)) the prestige leader board you need 50000 points after you prestige
I do think you get to keep all your emblems and cards so if you have left over money before you prestige spend it here since it appears to be the only stuff that carries over
