Forums - Gaming - Eight Reasons To Buy COD Black Ops It's Not Just The Same Game

Many think that Call of Duty Black Ops will be so similar to the previous releases that they are considering not even buying it. Well, here is 8 great reasons to get your copy. Turns out, there is a handful of differences from the last release.

  • Character Customization
    This is the first time you can customize your character in this much detail in the Call of Duty series. It’s something that will make each individual unique obviously. But even better, you will be able to create your own logos that go on your guns and your gamer tag. That’s also something new for Call of Duty. The video below shows you some of the customization features you will see.
  • Gamer Stats
    If you played World at War, you may know what this is. If you didn’t well here is the insight. From the looks of the www.callofduty.com/BlackOps website, it seems as if they are going to offer this feature yet again. Many loved it. The website will give you details on how you are doing, your rank, etc. It will tell you how many bullets you have shot, misses, hits, head shots, leg shots and whole lot more. It will also provide you wish missions to do in game while earning ribbons, awards etc. to display on your public profile. It’s definitely worth having if you love Call of Duty. As far as I know, this is the only game that offers this type of feature. And best of all, it’s free. Click the image below to see how they did this for WAW. The BlackOps website also has the same layout as WAW had.
  • Frequent Updates and Fixes
    Many were sick and tired of the glitches, cheats, hacks, etc. with Modern Warfare 2. Good news is that Black Ops will be made by Treyarch. They are very good at making updates and changes frequently to the game to make it better and when they see the need. In CoD WAW, they made changes all the time so that glitches, hacks and cheats were fixed. You can expect to see this again with Black Ops.
  • New Overall Game Play
    In the past few releases, we have seen the same old game with a different look. This time around they are making many changes and even giving us some new techniques to use. For example, now you will be able to dive and roll. That’s something that is going to make this game different all around and how you battle online. Imagine being able to run from and enemy and dive through a window to make your escape.

    Another thing that is unique is that you won’t be able to just level up and get new weapons. Now, you have to earn those new weapons and features. If you level up and you’re not doing very good in the game, you won’t see anything new until you sharpen those skills and earn a little cash to buy stuff.

  • Online Game Play Changes
    Again, there will be a whole new reason to own this game without it being the same as the last release. If you combine all of the reasons we have given here so far, you will realize that this time around that the overall online game play will be unique in itself. From changes in the features, remote control cars, guided missile launchers, custom guns logos and clan tags, and lots more, the online side to this game is going to bring you a whole new experience. Being able to record your killcam’s and matches to upload to youtube will be something most will want to take advantage of. But, only CoD Black Ops will offer this.
  • Zombies Are Back
    They were an instant hit in World at War. They even had iphone apps and more just to play this. Well, it’s back with upgrades, new challenges, perks and lots more. So if you’re a Zombies Junkie, here’s your chance at round 2.
  • Own a Cod Black Ops RC Car
    The RC-XD included in the Prestige Edition is a fully functioning surveillance device that is remotely controlled and transmits wireless video and audio back to the RC controller in real time. Every detail is modeled after the in-game RC-XD killstreak vehicle.
    Both the Hardened and Prestige editions are in limited supply, so pre-order your copy today!
  • Dedicated Servers Available
    Tired of hackers and cheaters? Want to host your own Black Ops Server? Perhaps you want to host your own tournaments? Well, now you have the opportunity to have your own server with basically no lag and only the gamers you want to play with. You can rent your own game server at www.gameservers.com
  • This game is definitely unique to the Call of Duty series. If your a shooter type of gamer, this is a game you should reserve today. It’s guaranteed to put a new spark in the Call of Duty gamers eyes.

    Atto Suggests...:

    Game - Metro Last Light

    TV - Deadwood

    Music - Forest Swords 

    cant wait!



    Some of those reasons suck, but dedicated servers will be a draw for me. The biggest minus would be how similar the game is, ive seen the videos, it looks like a modded mw2. That is what happens with yearly releases.

    If looking like a modded mw2 is wrong,then I don't want to be right. lol



    Its what MW2 should have been.

    I'm gonna buy a used copy so that Activision doesn't get a dime from me.



    there really is one reason only. Gary freaking Oldman!!!!! I could give a crap about online to tell the truth. Most CODs online are the same anyway with minor tweaks. I get bored with them real quick, thats just me rather play Uncahrted online, hell Id rather play Bioshock 2, crappy maps and all. Back to mister Oldman, his presence pretty much gaurentees that the campaign mode, which was the completly horrible in MW2, will be at the very least ok, He is known for not be in crappy movies as far as I know. SO please dont mess up the single player with a short story that made no sense



    Unless the free RC car has an explode button that's no draw for me



    does the prestige have a Wii version???? not that I would get it for Wii just curious
