Huge leap, for a grittier CoD
Treyarch has had a hit or miss history as far as game development, ranging from abysmal to pretty darn good. Black Ops is the first game that Treyarch has had the luxury of focusing the entire team on development. With Modern Warfare 2 now behind us, Black Ops had a lot to live up to, including making the community happy, who were slowly getting more enraged as support for MW2 fell to the wayside with the dissolve of Infinity Ward heads West and Zampella. (Want proof there is no more support? The Rock Glitch still exists in Fuel.) Well, Treyarch has kept to their promise and more with this incredible installment of Call of Duty. MW2 still chooses to take the lightened hardcore route by focusing on the combat storyline, less on the gritty realism and horrors of war. Treyarch skillfully uses actual history to craft a fictional progressive and hidden set of wars that are known as Deniable Operations, fighting behind the scenes to prevent full scale wars. You will see some familiar faces from history, use weapons that were only a dream to America's Military back then, see bits and pieces of "Deniable Ops", and unfold the era in a way only the Call of Duty name can bring.Longtime CoD fans will find that, awkwardly, you never leave Mason's boots, he is your character, AND, he speaks, instead of being quiet, he will call when reloading, tossing a grenade, and generally has a personality. Graphically, it's a small improvement over the engine IW used in MW2, the sound still pops with every shot, cracks with every boom, and brings you face first into the gameworld.Edit: I don't know what I was thinking here, you DO leave Mason, I guess I was overly tired from playing the game...oops.Treyarch really went all out with this set, an all-star cast of voice talent lends to the astounding atmosphere, Gary Oldman reprises his role as Reznov, who some of you know was the sniper from the Russian portions of World at War. Topher Grace, Ed Harris just to name a few. You will not be dissapointed in your purchase of this game. Understanding that this will become a yearly turnaround for Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and beginning in 2011, Sledgehammer games has announced they are working on a CoD Action-Adventure style game. Take from it what you will, but if IW is not going to be a full strength for the 3rd Modern Warfare installment, Treyarch talent has proven themselves ten-fold.I cannot comment on the online aspect, I am currently deployed to Iraq, and am unable to play online. However, split screen works well, and its a party and a half when people get together. Zombies make a triumphant return, no need to elaborate there for people with the Hardened or prestige edition.So why are you reading this to the end? Rent it, buy it, download it from Steam, find a way (legally!) to play this game.**Update**Took the time to play with the RC-XD a bit, the car sucks battery life bad, I would say total usage has been under an hour, and the battery life looks pretty limp already, and normally I turn it on, check battery life on the screen, and shut the screen off, it seems to prolong it a bit, but last time I fired it up, I was showing one bar left, and I just put the batteries in there two hours prior. Wonder if anyone will do a 9v conversion. But considering it's mostly for show, I am not that heartbroken.Still cannot get online, I am in Iraq, and even with the improved net connection, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get online. (Imagine my frustration when I saw that damn download code for the extra maps!)

Great game. So was MW2... But they are DIFFERENT. Equally good. Similar in ways, but different.
This is really a great game. MW2 fanboys can back off... Haters don't HAVE to play it. It's a well made game, it's fun, and I would personally not ever go back to MW2, they fixed many issues with the online play, and added and imprived many things, while replicating the many positive aspects of MW2 quite well. I loved that game, and I love this one too.THE RC-XD remote control care that comes with the Prestige edition is AWESOME... The rc-xd in the game is annoying... When you get killed by it it sucks... But taking out 3 guys with it feels quite rewarding. Only spend the 150$ if you like RC cars and have some extra dough...Killstreaks are great. Customization is INCREDIBLE... Balanced online play is a lot of fun. Many different game modes, but TDM is still the bomb.Don't listen to all the guys that are just sad cuz they can't camp on MW2 anymore... This game is a really great one, and equal if not better.p.s. ZOMBIES IS SICK. Just like COD: WaW but even better! And you can also play on any multiplayer map with BOTS... Like back in Goldeneye... It's really a fun way to play with different Killstreaks.Sweet game.

Black Ops
If you have played COD MW2 first and then play black ops, i found it disapointing, the weapons you use in the begining are slow and frustrating, maybe after i play it more i might like it, but atm its back in the box and MW2 is still in the XBOX.

This is the best game bundle ever.
This has to be the best bundle ever made for a game. The RC-XD is amazing. It drives really well and the camera is good enough quality for what it does. The microphone is kind of pointless though, it mostly pics up the sound of the car, but when it is sitting still it works good enough. The medal is cool and the 5 zombies maps are a nice bonus. Now onto the game itself, its the best COD. Hands down, the best COD ever made. The campaign is fun even if the story does not make that much sense, zombies is fun as always, and the multiplayer is amazing. It is extremely well balanced and will consume many hours. Its really addicting! Killstreaks do not play as big of a role as they did in MW2 so now you wont get killed by an AC-130 every other second! Overall, this is amazing. If you like COD, you NEED to get this! You wont regret it!

Disappointed
Awful...this game sucks! I bought Black Ops for my husband the day it came out and he's had nothing but problems with it. Call of Duty and Call of Duty II is great and this game is not up to par. I'm not kidding when I say it takes 20 minutes just for a game to start. Half the time someone will leave the game early and the whole server will be lost for everyone. I do not recommend this game for anyone at this time until it is perfected. My husband is about ready to break it and throw it in the trash. Everyone we speak to about Black Ops has the same problem so we know it is not our internet connection or system. It's the game. Me so disappointed!

Disappointed in how torn up and damaged the box was
Bought this for my husband as a collectors item because he loves the game. Disappointed in how torn up and damaged the box was. I mean the original box that it's kept in, not the shipping box.
