It’s Monday night, a little after 11:30 pm.
Do you know where your gamer is?
Chances are if it was this past Monday night, your gamer was probably waiting patiently at their local Best Buy store, hoping to be the first of their friends to snag a copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Almost a week has gone by since its release, and current numbers indicate that Black Ops has already topped the previous release of Modern Warfare 2 in record sales, with $360 million units in North America and the United Kingdom sold alone. With so many units of the game already out in the general public, just what are the real critics, loyal fans of the Call of Duty franchise, saying about the newest installment in a highly beloved series?
“I like it, it’s more about the skill than the class having an advantage over every other player in the PS3 version,” said Israel Valencia, a long time gamer.
Of course, with all the new features, there are bound to be some less favorable reviews from the fans.
“It disappointed me in the sense that it only unlocks certain equipment pieces at high levels. The game is also pretty glitchy right now, but it’s about the same when compared to Modern Warfare,” said Anthony Wilson about the Xbox version of the game.
Overall though, fans seem pretty pleased with the newest installment in the series, and are willing to take the problems with the game as they come. Some even hold out hope that Treyarch, the current developer for Black Ops, will step up and provide the same quality patches that Infinity Ward did when Modern Warfare was originally released.
“So far the pros override the cons, meaning there are a few glitches, but I’m hoping that Treyarch will patch up any small problems with the game later on,” said Valencia.
Regardless of which version of the game someone might own (be it for the PS3, Xbox, or PC), the reviews seem favorable across the board. One fan, Anthony Wilson, managed to phrase the complexity of the Black Ops phenomena in only a few words:
“Its epic and I’m playing it right now.”
Here a video of the action to get you going:
