A Life Uncensored

I picked it up on 360 because that’ll be the only way to play with the majority of my friends, but quick review of multiplayer:

plays exactly like CoD:MW2 multiplayer. Only real difference I’ve “felt” so far is that it SEEMS like there aren’t any really “true” sniper perches. I definitely haven’t played all the maps yet, but of the ones I have I only found 2 perches I felt comfortable sniping in. It bugs me a lot because MW2’s maps were often played out in the tight spots, submachine guns, spray and pray, which is the opposite of how I like to play. However, in those maps, there were at least 2 sniping perches that let you see a large portion of the map that was moderately well defended. In Black Ops it feels like most of the perches give you a far more narrow point of view of the map. It’s probably that i haven’t had a chance to play enough yet, but who knows.

The only other difference is that in MW2 you leveled up and unlocked access to guns, kill streaks, etc. Now you unlock access to guns, but also have to use credits to buy them. So levels give you access, credits let you actually use it. The thing I like is all the gun attachments and crap are just available to you, you just have to buy them, instead of the whole “get 150 kills with FMJ to unlock this other thing” bullshit.

I haven’t done zombie mode yet, waiting for some of my friends to be online.

edit: oh yeah, single player. I only played for… maybe half an hour, probably less than that. I’m tempted to actually finish it though, the story looks really interesting. The first level is Cuba ‘61, you’re part of the Bay of Pigs strike team. What I did felt awesome, I just wanted to hop in the multiplayer because I know that’s where i’m gonna spend most my time.
