It's still fun and it leads to the biggest changes of the game which come in the form of `wager matches'. It works well, although, I prefer the old system better of just unlocking new weapons as you level up as I find that the currency system lacks the addiction found in MW2 systems.

This allows you to unlock what you want when you want it, it should be noted that some weapons are still only unlocked at certain experience levels, but you still have to buy them with your currency to use them.

Not only do you earn experience points but you also earn COD points which is a form of currency the game utilizes (think Counter Strike). The meat of many COD games is the multiplayer and this is something BO excels at. It's about the length you would expect (5-7 hours) and there is an unlockable zombie mode upon completion. The single player campaign is told in a more cohesive way and the story is pretty good, it doesn't have many of the 'wow moments' that MW2 had, but it's still exciting nonetheless and has more of an emotional impact when it comes to your NPC team members. I personally feel that most of the changes made in BO are for the better. After reading many of these reviews, it seems that people have no idea how to logically rate a game, in fact, I would be so bold to say that regardless of the reasons given, it boils down to the fact that many people don't like this simply because it's different and more balanced then MW2. Call of Duty Black Ops (BO) is a good game, I am not sure why people are rating it so low. Wow, there seem to be an abnormal amount of haters for this game.

Modern combat versus pc aim sucks
