I agree with you. CoD is just a pile of bullstuff these days... I mean, seriously, CoD 1-3 were AWESOME! But after them, everything changed. Even multiplayer. When I try to play multiplayer with my friend, I get pissed. A LOT. Even if I beat him in EVERY OTHER F*CKING FPS GAME... (Especially quake 3 arena :D) So, Black ops is stuff. 'nuff said.
EDIT: nah, not 'nuff. I wanted to talk about storyline too. In CoD 1/2/3 (I dont remember) It had great storyline, where you play for different countries, and kill those naughty germans. And in the end, you fight as RUSSIANS, releasing the Russia from germans! I cryed at the end with happy tears. That was a great game
