Modern Warfare 2 vs Black Ops - My first impressions
I will begin by pointing out at the difference of the cover image, in Modern Warfare 2 the name "Call of Duty" is smaller than the Modern Warfare 2 and in Black Ops it's the opposite.
Call of Duty Black Ops multiplayer looks like it is going to be a surrender to the vocal minorty who didn't like what was actually fun in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
For example, I still think IWnet Matchmaking is better than dedicated servers, it was also easier to play with your friends instead of trying to connect to a full server.
I also think Grenade Launchers, Airstrikes and etc should not be nerfed, they are part of the game that made it fun and interesting.
The game wouldn't be fun if the developer would have listen to everyone's concerns, not every player knows how a game is suppose to be and what makes it fun to play.
From my first impressions of the previews of Call of Duty Black Ops it looks like it is a step down from Modern Warfare 2.
Black Ops might have higher system requirements for the PC than Modern Warfare 2 but graphically it looks worse, the artistic level is much lower and it feels much less talented people are working on Black Ops than the talents behind Modern Warfare 2.
Another thing about Black Ops is the PC system requirements which is higher than the requirements for Modern Warfare 2. This is absurd because Black Ops was developed for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 and their spec hasn't changed. The higher system requirements feels like Intel, Nvidia and AMD must have paid Activision to make higher system requirements which will result in people buying new hardware to play the game.
Last thing is I want to mention is what happend to Infinity Ward which Activision basically killed when they fired the founders which led to the entire team leaving with them.
I don't know all the facts and who's wrong or right but from the way it looks right now it seems like Activision is the bad guy which means I'm not too eager to buy another game from them, I don't plan to buy the game but if I somehow change my mind about it then I will make another post here.
