So far I’m not too impressed with the campaign mode. I’m not going to write a long post at the moment but I’ll update this later. Things that drive me nuts so far (I’m only on the 2nd or 3rd mission):
- Friendly AI that block you from cover (run up behind you and you can’t move)
- Friendly AI that runs right past an enemy and doesn’t even shoot at him. Its like he can’t see the guy killing you.
- The Harpooning the helicopter objective is just stupid. Who the heck thought that up? There is no explanation on WHAT you’re supposed to do and the dialog from the AI makes you think there is some “right time” to launch the harpoon. Playing on the hardest difficulty you have almost no time to actually perform this maneuver.
Someone told me they really thought the story in Black OPs was way better than Modern Warfare 2. So far I am afraid I have to disagree. I will say that I like multiplayer a bit better in some regards though I think it’s pretty silly that not only do you have to unlock weapons, but you actually have to buy them now too. The only thing you’re saved from is having to try and unlock every single attachment.
