This is over what everyone wants in a cod game.... Multiplayer
The gameplay is fast and fun. Shooting is the focus so the player is required to have more skill. Your health is a little stronger in black ops compared to mw2 but not by much. It is more difficult to knife someone, no leaping 10 feet to stab someone. So far not many noob tubes.... Hope that never changes.
The game modes are familiar and fun. The maps are more tight corner which helps with the tubes and requires team work and skill. The focus on guns is great, you really do get to make the gun your own.
Wager matches are hectic and really fun.
This game is more skill on skill unlike it's predecessor mw2. Mw2's multiplayer was great fun until everyone filled the sky with noob tubes.
Black ops is still fast gameplay with more of a focus on the guns. Yes people will be cheap. In every online multiplayer shooter I've ever played there is a group of people that will camp, tube, and cheat.
If you like to play online this is game is one of the best ones out there to play.
