More of the same, not necessarily a bad thing, but three Infinity Ward games in and little to really remark on.
Played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare?
Played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2?
Then you've played Call of Duty: Black Ops...
I'm not a hater by any means, I mean, I bought it and am playing it...
However, it does feel a little lame spending another £38 just to play the same game I've been playing for 3 years.
Obviously, a new story. Story = poor, Gameplay = good. Lets face it, you don't play a FPS for the emotive story, it's all about the action, and you do get a lot of that... Story mode only has so much appeal however. Multiplayer is obviously why everyone will buy this game.
As I said, there are changes made (obviously), guns, maps, perks, but at its heart is the same gameplay that you've played 10,000 deathmatches of.
I'm a fan of the series, and the Mrs' is obviously going to have to try a lot harder to grab my attention over the coming months... But I can't help but feel I've been sold a game that took a team of x programmers a month to 'update' from its predecessor, but have waited a year for.
