I just bought the game and I love it, way better then CoD:MW2 with the exception of local multiplayer. Graphically the game looks better then CodMW2 as well. I don't know where you get off criticizing it so much considering you only played the Beta.
It was a great game worthy of a 8 out of ten easily. The only thing is they dropped local multiplayer.
Also what the heck Treyarch suck at making CoD games WaW wat easily the worst CoD game I've ever played and CoD3 dissapointed me after 1 and 2.
Don't buy Black Ops untill you've played it, Treyarch sucks. Leave CoD to Infinity Ward!
