SP is way over the top.
I’m gonna be flamed for saying this, but after spending 2 hours in the SP, the SP of Medal of Honor is at least as good.
AI is not very smart and some gfx glitches
Will try MP tonight

@51, MoH singleplayer just sucks compared to CoD:Black Ops.
and yeah AI is pretty stupid. It’s just shooting… Sometimes taking cover but thats it.

@52, i doubt that you would know, you seem to be posting every 5 minutes, how could you possibly have time to play games?

@52: Don’t agree on that. The Black Ops SP is kinda like the A-team. I’m just waiting for Hannibal to show up.
But as a matter a fact..I don’t really care. In the end I play the MP and I wonder if it can compete with the BC2 MP.

@52 maybe time machine you know? I almost finished the game. I’m feeling that i’m near the ending.
PS: Korean second battle is over the TOP. I don’t remember the level of the game but you have a Great shotgun

Can you be shot in this one without the screen going stupidly shaky and fuzzy for “dramatic” effect? What about nasty respawning enemies – any of that?

@DrDamn,
“What about nasty respawning enemies – any of that?”
There was a nasty level in Soviet base. Ending of it… Respawn of enemies was ridiculous. Sometimes too much respawn.

Just got off playing multi.
It feels like a mixture of WAW and MW2.
I suppose the kids will love it although I reckon it might not live up to there expectations.
It doesn’t feel as polished as MW2 imo.
Haven’t checked out SP yet.

It pisses me off that they give you the option for having auto aim on or off. Just put it on or off!! Don’t Give me a Freaking option!!! I can’t in good faith have it on, and then I feel like everyone else has an advantage over me. *Sigh* Frustrating.

@61 than play the PC version. There is no Auto Aim. There is only your skill
Just finished the campaign. Last levels were dissapointing. but overall i enjoyed it. Much better than MW 2 and MOH campaign combined.

I tried both. I had too many framerate issues playing online on PC, and the auto-aim on 360 is really annoying. But your right the SP is really good.

“But your right the SP is really good.”
Except only for the story. It was a bullshit of big proportions. With Vorkuta, drugs and conspiracy theories with NOVA-6…
