I'll be getting the game definitely. I'm popping to Tesco tomorrow morning with a mate and I think I'll buy it for £25 (providing I buy 2100 Xbox points or 3 months Live). I'll go for the points I think and possibly sell them for about £15 to make the game equal £27-29 which is great value.

I just can't be arsed to stand in a line tonight to be honest, it's probably going to piss down as well. It's supposed to piss down all day tomorrow with force winds too so I'll just relax in on the game since I have to day off from uni.

I definitely agree though about it not being as strongly marketed and pushed as MW2. Last year, HMV was draped in MW2 posters and adverts, today I saw one or two small Black Ops posters on the window.

I was going to get it last night but just had a crazy basketball cardio session and couldnt get up from bed. I'll be trading in everything I can get my hands on to get the game for cheap.

I was planning on getting it at the weekend when I'm off work and will have money, but a mate said he's getting it today so I might call over tomorrow and check it out to see if I'll get it sooner or leave it longer.

Anyone played it yet I've not had the time so far.

If so what's it like compared to the others & how does online/zombie mode compare to previous games as well?

Casual game of the year here. Everyone I know seems to have bought it or will buy it this week, even those who dont buy games but have a console have bought it!! Facebook seems to be covered in "OMG COD" style messages, and i've had about 5 texts in the past 30 mins asking when i'm getting in or if i want to go round and play it.

I had a go on it in GAME today, and will admit it looks great. Not my cup of tea though.

In response to original!, i dont think the devs name had anything to do with lack of interest, especally considering pre-orders have outpaced those for MW2. I think it is more to do with the fact it isnt "Modern Warfare" because we all know next year when Modern Warfare 3 comes out and the key devs from IW have already gone, the game will still be the mega bucks, mega pushed title that the previous 2 have been.

The ords Call of Duty and Modern Warfare are guaranteed seller now even though there has been no evolution in the title for 4 years. Unoriginal IPs sell, originality bombs =[

I traded MW2, NBA 2K10 and Red Dead. I know I'll probably regret giving Red Dead but I already completed it and the DLC never appealed to me.

Do you not use Ebay?

Probably would have got around £45 for them all after fees. I never understand trading games in to be honest, it's the equivalent of a bird shitting on you, it landing on your mouth and you then willingly licks your lips.

Just bought mine from Tesco this morning along with the 2100 Xbox Live points since they had around 200+ Black Ops games in stock. Cost me £42 overall, but if I decide to sell the Xbox Live points, it'll bring the Black Ops purchase total down to around £27.

Can't wait to get home from work about 9ish and get my hands on this! :)

Must say, FIFA will more than likely be pushed aside a little bit now that CoD has arrived!

Ebay=Time. I like my world moving quickly. And they offered to just buy the games off me and wouldve only got £17 for them.

Tomahawk indeed! First time I used it I killed some lemming who was just standing still :lol:

Fucking loving this game. Haven't played campaign yet. Just jumped straight online and have had some good games. Kill/death ratio is close right now, but I haven't had more deaths than kills since the first game I played.

Last game could have gone terrible though. Was like 4/12 and struggling, but then I stabbed like four guys in a row and killed 3 others got my helicopter, care package and spy plane (UAV) and completely turned the game on its head. We were losing by like 1000 points, but we won the game in the end.

I'm just loving the sounds, atm. It's those little things that impresses me.

I'm fucking shit online. COD4 and MW2 I was pretty decent (ratio of around 1.65+ or thereabouts). Since I went online with Black Ops though I've been failing more often than not. My first game I went like 2-12 :lol:

I've been picking it up the last few matches though and can do some serious damage with the MP5K when in close range. I used to love sniping but I'm really struggling with it at the moment as you now need to hit the neck and above in order to score a 1-shot kill. It should be chest and up I think with the lower torso just being a stun depending on the range you've been hit from.

I've noticed the knife glitching is still present unfortunately. A few times I've been been 5-7 yards away from my enemy when he's swung his knife into thin air and "killed" me. It's like Stretch Armstrong with a boomerang knife. I mean I've been knifed plenty of times already online, and in one match it was 3 times in a row. :lol: I can accept a lot of them, and while I get annoyed it's with myself for being 'merked' so easily, but I go fecking ape when it's clear the enemy is several yards away with his knife.

I've been playing a lot of the campaign today actually which is an achievement in itself as I never usually bother with them. I completed COD4s, never bothered with WaW and only completed about half of MW2. COD just isn't a single player series really, it's only there to serve a purpose to those who can't afford internet and online play. I'm really enjoying the campaign so far though, I'm not sure how much of the way I'm through but guessing I'd say maybe 50% or so. While there aren't as many "epic" or huge moments as there was in MW2 I don't think, the story itself is a hell of a lot more solid and easier to follow. The characters are more developed and interesting, and you feel more of a connection with them in comparison to previous games. There's still some really great moments I've been through so far, needless to say the guns are really nice to use as well. :)

I played about 6 or 7 games round a friend's house last night.

MW2 still totally pwns this, however.
