MW2 Pros

  • Spec Ops mode w/ some co-op options
  • Better graphics than Black Ops
  • Callsigns and emblems (many people are still playing MW2 to unlock these callsigns and emblems, Black Ops only uses custom callsigns and doesn't have all the cool unlocks that MW2 does)
  • Tons of MP game modes, weapons, and perks

MW2 Cons

  • Tactical insertion in free-for-all (lead to too much boosting)
  • One man army pro (a good perk until people used it for noob-tubing)
  • killstreaks stacking on killstreaks (people just sit in their camping location until their harriers get the kills for a chopper-gunner)
  • danger close pro (there is no need to make noob-tubes to be more powerful)
  • really confusing discombobulated campaign
  • Tactical nukes

Black Ops Pros

  • Wager modes
  • Splitscreen online MP mode (1st CoD game to have this?)
  • Nazi Zombies
  • Dead Ops mode
  • Bots
  • More balanced gameplay

Black Ops Cons

  • Worse killstreak options than MW2
  • not as many perks as MW2
  • custom callsigns/emblems were a complete mess of immaturity/homophobia/racial slurs. 
  • not as much as incentive to keep playing the MP as MW2 since specialized callsigns/killstreak emblems were not awarded
  • Getting the pro-perks took way to long for some of the perks.  This discouraged me from finishing more than 1 prestige.
  • Too many of the cool options such as gold guns were based on prestige level and not skill
  • Wager modes were too separated from the rest of the multiplayer.  Some of these modes were the most fun in the game, but it would be nice to be able to get experience from playing them instead of points
  • The points system seemed kind of redundant after a while
  • Graphics not as good as MW2
  • Sniping options weren't nearly as fun as MW2
  • It was often too difficult to get a party to matchmake in MP

Overall impression

Overall, I liked MW2 much better.  I sold my copy of black ops 3 months after buying the game.  I still play MW2 to this day.  Black Ops made some good improvements but I loathed that they took out all of the callsigns/emblems.  I also didn't like the snipers that much in black ops.  I didn't like the points system that much in black ops and I didn't like the fact that they didn't give me much incentive to keep playing the game.


Thanks that's really neat but what system did you play Black Ops on? I found the matchmaking better on Black Ops than Modern Warfare 2.
