WOW your cool WOW, anyway graphics that are fine???

What game maker goes from a great looking game MW2 and then brings out a shambles like BO in terms of graphical quality.

I dont care if its two different developers, Treyarch should be embarrassed - I spent £40 on a game that looks and plays like WAW. How would you like it if GT5 looked worse than GT5P?



Oh yeah WOW Your moaning about connection when every single COD game has connection problems when released - if you have actually played other COD games you would know this already. Its nothing new they will never move from P2P as they are too tight to use dedicated servers. So yeah moaning about something that has happened to the last 4 COD titles...... Just wow
You are pretty immature for a 24 year old mate. I payed 120 for this game, so what?
 
I think the point Legendary is getting at is gameplay > graphics particular in an online shooter environment and in that respect I wouldn't care if GT5 did look worse then GT5P if I got better driving so long as it didn't look flat out bad which Black Ops most certainly does not look.

On a side note if you thought someones posting style is immature, regardless of how much truth lies in the matter, is following suit really the matture thing to do? Not really, you're old enough to know that 2 wrongs don't make a right.

But the gameplay is not better i also posted that it plays exactly like WAW. I would be perfectly happy with better gameplay > graphics but not from sequels which are expected to have the full package.

There is literally thousands of people complaining about the graphics in Black Ops, as soon as i put it on i was very shocked to say the least with how it looked (wouldnt have been so bad if MW2 didnt look so good in comparison).

First of all age has nothing to do with maturity.

I couldn't care less who is calling me immature cos frankly it doesnt bother me. What bothers me is coming on this forum and getting nothing but cheeky/sarcastic replies to things i see posted or posted myself. Probably around 80% of the time by some kid who has a high post count thinks they can belittle someone on a forum.

The point of my post was to highlight how rude he had been and how he had taken my comment and tried to make a mockery of me, all i had done was add points to the discussion to try and get other forum members opinions of how this game lacks in the graphics department (big style). As soon as i posted a slightly emphasised version of his very condescending post he did not like it and as per usual i expect his chums/premium chums to add to the discussion very shortly.

I used to frequent this site often till i realised how obnoxious a lot of the members are, they always have something to prove and someone to patronise.
 
I hated MW2 but I am having a GREAT time with Black ops. I also liked WAW. I only rented BO but I am highly considering buying it. Spent a lot of time in Gun Game and then stayed up way too late last night playing the other modes with friends. One in the Chamber is also fun. I was tying to play sticks and stones but it kept disconnecting so I went back to the other modes. I am sure in a week or 2 everything will work. I also didnt see any cheaters yet which was the primary reason I hated MW2. One thing I do really miss is the 4 player co-op campaign. I am shocked Treyarch dropped that mode.

I only put about 5 minutes into the campaign but I will finish that over the weekend. I just unlocked the ability to create my own decals last night and will mess with that more tonight. So far great game.
 
Edit: @ Barry

Define, plays like WaW. Geniunely I haven't played the games and I don't understand what you mean by that, WaW played fine bar tanks, round drums and the MP40 pretty much all of which are mostly gone. Graphically I maintain that in my eyes what I've seen looks great, better or worse then MW2 I'm not sure but still great, maybe not the best but perfectly acceptable by modern standards if you compared to other shooters particularly. Bad Company 2 is an example of a game which actually doesn't look that great on the face of it, certainly below COD games in motion, but the effects and atmosphere are still amazing and the gameplay style makes for an intense and engrossing experience for many.

As regards the conduct, I'm merely suggesting you don't let yourself get dragged into anything if you feel offended. If your bothered by immaturity, but you're not bothered by being called immature it becomes a bit of an oxymoron as your immaturity in retaliation to others may bother bystanders and they will feel much like you did to begin with.

I understand your feelings on certain members, particularly in certain threads, though I wouldn't call it a majority by any means but in this case I think Legendary just flat out doesn't understand why you're complaining about graphics and neither do I at this point but perhaps I'm being mislead by the videos I've seen in some way.
 
i am not happy with this game aswell, most of the reasons have been posted on this thread so no need of repeating.
i probably would keep on playing it as almost everyone on my psn list has got it.
 
I am shocked with the complaints about the graphics. I think they look very good. They are a combination of MW2 and WAW. Not that I have ever cared much about graphics but I think this game looks great. Are the complaints about the multiplayer graphics or single player graphics?? They both seem fine to me. But I have always prefered gameplay and I loved WAW but hated MW2.
 
:lol: @ calling mw2 graphics good. You get sparks when you shoot the grass in that game ffs. Almost everything in mw2 was terrible but by far map design was the worst and that made the gameplay bad. Plus people actually shoot one another in BO unlike mw2 which was just explosives and MLC.

I am shocked with the complaints about the graphics. I think they look very good.

Likewise
 
I played online for the first time this morning and made it to level 10. Its not so bad IMO. I have been using the MP5K and the Enfield. I can't wait to unlock the AKS74 and the Galil.

Graphics are pretty good. Knifing isn't nearly as common but its not hard to do. This game really feels pretty right so far.
 
My one major complaign is that Treyarch removed 4 player co-op campaign. I truly miss that. I didnt get a chance to look but does BO have spec ops or any sort of co-op mode at all??? If not I wont be able to justify paying full price for this. I might try to get it on Black Friday. I am sure it will be about $30.00 by then. We need 2 copies so I need to find the best deal.
 
I played Combat Training for about 45 minutes last night and was fairly impressed with the bot AI. Granted, I need to adjust coming from MW2 to BO and become more accustomed to the slightly different feel this game has (ie, mostly bumping the sensitivity on the controls to about 6 or 7, which is what I think I ran on MW2). I definitely look forward to playing this game more and once I get into multiplayer, playing with people from GTP.
 
I came across this article on G4. I do like the series but dont you think it would benifit from a longer cycle period ? anyways please watch the clip first and then respond. Do you agree do you disagree with what Adam says. This is one of the few times i kinda agree completley with adam

Check your link, it just says bad request when I try to go to it.

Try Zombies, It's a heap of fun.
 
So far I have played around two hours in multiplayer. The maps are great, there seems to be more hiding and cover spots on most maps. I also found that the gameplay appeared to be a bit slower, not performance wise but I found that most people weren't running around with all guns blazing. I'm hoping it continues and that the majoirty of people start to play in a semi tactical way.

I haven't noticed much difference in the graphics to be honest, I really need to play the solo campaign to get an idea of just how good the graphics are.

Unforunately I didn't have too time to tinker with the custom class I created. I like the idea of having to buy upgrades and weapons rather than levelling to unlock.

So far so good.

That has nothing to do with the graphics. You might as well be saying GT5's graphics aren't good because there are a few lighting glitches with the windows.

As if it plays exactly like WaW mate. For starters, you have credits in case you had not realised. You then have new perks, removal of things like juggernaut and stopping power which completely changes the game up. You now can not quick scope either which is changing alot of the gameplay and moving non serious snipers away from the weapon. Then you get this new damage system where the weapons have changed in damage and bullets needed to kill. There are new modes with entirely new weapons we have never seen before such as the crossbow and ballistic knife, were they in WaW, no.

So this game is miles from the same as WaW and far away from MW2 in terms of gameplay.

If you are getting sarcastic/ cheeky replies all the time, have you thought about how you post might be the problem mate? You were being so blunt, just coming in here and going 'oh the graphics are 🤬. Most of us can relate to a bad connection so I do not need to elaborate in that but we all cannot understand where you are coming from with this graphics thing you have going here. Care to help us out and say whats wrong?

I have a high post count here because I have been here 3 years, not because I post whore and of all things, belittle other people. You are overreacting alot mate, everything is being taken the wrong way by you...

He has a name, as the saying goes, 'she is the cat's mother'. A MOCKERY of you?! Excuse me? The last thing anyone aims to do on this forum is make a mockery of someone, you just had a straight out point which was not proved or contributing to much at all. Lets go back to your old post, where in the world does it say, 'What are your opinions'? It doesn't! It just complains about them and says how they are a huge mistake and treyarch should be embarrassed. Which, in mine and almost everyone elses opinion, is not the case.

You calling my good friend Dragonistic a Chum? I personally take alot of offence to a friend of mine being called a chum. I did NOT ask for Phil to come into this conversation, Phil just did because he is a real man and not just some guy who seems to pay out everyone who isn't his friend.

I used to frequent this site often till i realised how obnoxious a lot of the members are, they always have something to prove and someone to patronise.
Yeah well, they call it life. Deal with it.

EDIT: On a side note here, I lost 1000cr for not being able to connect to a medium level wager match last night, fail...

FWIW I'm on the 360 and the game came with a 48hr Live Gold Pass code that I don't need. So if anyone wants to claim it just PM me.

Personal opinion wise, as a CoD4/WaW/MW2 veteran I am enjoying the MP so far. It has taken me a little while to accept that SP is no longer an available perk (seriously for the 1st 4 hours of gameplay every time I leveled up I kept expecting Stopping Power to show up as an unlocked perk :crazy: :lol:). And now that I think about it, I do agree that the overall gaming experience is better off for it. Also I like how, at least so far, the quick scope'rs have been forced to adopt a different style of combat. Likewise noob tubing/one many army/scavengers have been eliminated from the playscape as well.

All together, once again so far, I find these tweaks to the MP experience to be generally positive. Truth be told this is coming from a former SP addict ;).

Question - anyone else feel like they have toned down the advantage to having a good 5.1 surround sound setup? I feel like I rarely hear the enemy approaching me, even if they are sprinting around (and I'm referring to non-Ninja perk users). JIC I do have my audio settings on "loud" and "theater".

Edit...

Pass in now taken.

I have heard from allot of people that the sound whoring in the game has been pretty much eliminated, which sucks because I bought some turtle beaches last year and they proved to be a very valuable tool when playing FPS's for sure.

I have noticed that it is harder to hear footsteps.

Guess I can see both sides of the discussion. Oh well, was nice to have in MW & MW2 but good to know it is not just me in this observation.
 
Dead ops arcade is pretty neat. I've made it to round 15.

You can also play Zork.


I'm thinking I will like the DOA, but the Zork I just don't care for. I never liked the text based games:tdown:
 
I'll agree that some of the textures in the campaign suck...Such as a particular time when you're at, uh "very high altitude". That should clue anyone in that's played it. But that doesn't matter.

Otherwise the rest of the graphics are just fine and I don't know why they're complaining about them.
 
Those rc cars are pretty annoying. You can destroy them can't you? I couldn't seem to blow them up. Hopefully people will stop using them soon as they unlock better stuff. Its not hard to tell where they are and you can hide from them pretty easy so I wouldn't say its overpowered just really annoying.
