Weekend Confirmed Episode 34
by Garnett Lee, Nov 12, 2010 12:00pm PSTCall of Duty: Black Ops dropped this week and we've been playing it along with, oh, a few million other folks around the Net. It hoards the spotlight in Whatcha Been Playin? and fair warning, there are some spoilers in the discussion but with a clear disclaimer beforehand. Battlefield Play4Free and the Vietnam DLC for Bad Company 2 also come up as shooters rule this week's show. In the Warning your counter-points to the idea floated last week of 2-3 hour games get us started and we also open the question of how susceptible to fatigue Call of Duty looks to be? News of Rock Band developer Harmonix hitting the sales block, a handful of new game announcements, and more wrap it all up in the Front Page.

Treyarch's waves to create difficulty is ridiculous. MW2 was challenging but never seemed to be based on just sending waves of enemy unending until you moved forward.
I had way more fun playing MW2 and more fun playing MOH. I felt more drawn into the MOH story because of pseudo-realism as opposed to Black-Ops, which telegraphed the "twist" making me feel a step ahead of the story.
As for MP, a patch/dlc to MW2 would have sufficed.... No genuine co-op or even spec-ops, just this zombie crap.... no thanks... I pre-ordered Hardened, completed on Veteran, played some MP and returned it... Very average, not inline with what I like about the COD franchise....

I played MoH and CoDBlops on PC, and I've seen more bugs in Blops than MoH. Bugs like falling through the world and being unable to pick up KEY weapons.
I have no idea what two games you were playing, but I have the exact opposite opinion. CoDBlops is probably one of the worst games for story telling. Interaction is about pressing forward with a bit of mouse look, clumsy rappelling sequences, or flimsy vehicle sequences.
At least Modern Warfare 2 has some open design in its levels. I had not seen a single level that was as open as Nate's Plaza. IMO CoDBlops gone even more backwards from it storytelling than MW2. CoD4 was as good as it gets.
