Black Ops. Looks like it could be the definitive COD game if you're only going to own one. Zombies, modern day with a story that should make sense being the cold war, new game modes, no secondary shotguns or commando/onemanarmy/stopping power.

I'd say get MW2. Only if you're really into multiplayer though, the single player campaign is laughably short.

black ops, but only because there will be lots of similarities. If you want, get MW2 to play the SP, or practice before BO, or to add it to your collection :P

Wait for Black Ops. MW2 was a pile of poo and while I can't say for certain, Black Ops seems a lot more balanced and less BS. It turn out to be terrible as well but I don't think it well be nearly as bad as MW2.

I would wait for black ops call of duty modern warfare 2 is a good game but has really bad servers,black ops on the other hang took everything that made modern warfare 2 great and made it 10 times better plus theres a rumor of a new zombies mode and the hardened edition comes with 4 co op maps from world at war if i was you i'd do the research first then make my decision.

MW2 or Black ops dont have servers, we players host the games, hence , the reason every game ends prematurely either because of a player/host bad connection or either the hosts decides to randomly leave because he/she is getting pwnd or other reasons. that is why MoH is a great alternative in my honest opinion, it has dedicated servers. im styll gettin both :P, just sayin :D

im surprised so many people are bashing MW2. whats up with that? It honestly is a solid game. the SP was good (notice is said good, not great) and I still play MP almost everyday with my friends. There's nothing that I can think of that deserves all the bashing. can someone (one of the haters :P) please elaborate?

Nauron-

Well, where should I begin?

If you played COD4 as much I have (many people have played way longer), you notice the flaws and exploits and how people take constant advantage of them. COD4 was great because while there was still annoying things like Martyrdom, Fragx3 and M16 users, there was almost always a way to avoid or counter such tactics. To an extent COD4 was a skill based game, not in how good your aim was but how you played and the tactics you employed at the right times.

Now jump to MW2, where you die even faster and the killstreaks help you more than anything else. Half the time the game it playing itself. For example, you get a 5 killstreak (not that hard) you call in your Predator Missile and BOOM! By a stroke of luck you got two kills, now you got your Harrier Strike. You call that in, it might get one or two with the initial strike, the jet that hovers gets around three kills(not far fetched at all), now your Chopper Gunner, this thing will probably kill you 10-15 kills easy(let's go in the middle and say you got 12 kills and an assist). So let's do the math, first 5 for your Predator, 2 from your Predator, 4 from your Harrier, 12 from your Chopper Gunner, that's a total of 26 kills, 5 of which you actually got with your gun. See the problem? Coupled with Commando users running around, One Man Army noob tubes, an unprecedented amount of campers and you got one of the most frustrating experiences available on consoles. The reason MW2 sucks is because a complete idiot can best one of the most experienced and smartest COD players with a simple class setup.

Dude, I know what you mean. I still played MW2 until June or so, even though I realized the game's flaws around December. It's like a drug, good and bad :P

Nauron-
Its the worst glitched and hacked console game EVER!!! Hacks that mess with health and damage. Infinite what ever. Knife from across a map. Nukes in Care packages and MORE MORE MORE. Then atop that we get poor netcoding, bad level design, no balance, low resolution, latency out the wah-zoo. laughable campaign, overpriced DLC, etc. (I could write an essay on how bad MW2 is and back it up with video) And the final nail in the coffin and a big FU in my opinion. IW has no rapport with it's community and never implements community feedback like Bungie, Valve, Guerrilla Games, Dice, OR ANY REPUTABLE DEV. (plus former IW staff were very open about not wanting to produce MW2) If you think all this is acceptable your a casual with low standards. Its sad that theirs so many of you...

Takuzi

Was there a price drop recently cause last time I checked a month ago everyone was still charging $59.99 for the game new? This game will help keep your skills sharp for Black Ops but this game has its issues. cheating and boosting still pretty rampant on that game. I would say 3/10 lobbies usually have boosters, and then 5/10 have grenade launcher freaks that use nothing but grenade launchers.
