I agree, Black Ops is a step down from the 2 previous titles, and I'm not talking about the Singleplayer/storyline etc.
Games like these achieve greatness throught their Multiplayer. CoD:MW was and is still a great game, but the hackers have ruined it for me since the PS3 security issues.
MW2 was better still, and the graphics and general look in maps and textures etc seem superior to Black-Ops, nevermind the actual playability. Again, hackers and all the bloody sniper no-scopers and quick-scopers and spinners make it feel frustrating and like you are being cheated often. I'm kinda glad the altered the sniping system on Black-Ops. It's just the game is pretty rubbish in general. Zombies is okay though, I got weeks of fun out of Ascension. The maps all svck ass on Black-Ops too. I doubt any of them will survive through the next 2 installments (if they come)
Crysis 2 looks good, but I think the MP is broken tbh. It's a case of "spawn, shoot someone in the back, be shot in the back, curse, wait 5, rinse and repeat" just about all the time, and the weapons are crap, seeing as you need a full clip to kill someone usually, finding 2 or 3 enemies is certain death, and I always seem to be headshotted 10 times a round, and the killcam shows the guy as not aiming, firing 1 bullet, then turning away, then I die, and allsorts of ridiculous things that make me shout swears at the tv and shout "this game is shi**" and give up. I've persevered, but at rank 30 or so, I'm getting a bit fed up. The maps are garbage too, especially the night-time ones like Parking Lot, Statue etc. Terminal, Skyline and Lighthouse are about the best ones, but I really think that CoD maps like Wasteland, Crash, Overgrown, Strike, Vacant, Terminal, Scrapyard, and Highrise got it just about perfect for all types of players, and also MW2 got the kill/survivability of all the weapons just right, and the weapon 'feels' and favourites easy to find, with something for everyone. Crysis has messed it up I feel.
I hope it gets the patches to fix it, and soon, as I like the future look and the tech behind it.
If you think it takes a full clip to kill on Crysis 2, you svck. I can get 3 kills with a clip of Scar easy.
