      <title>Call of duty rating?</title>
      <description>Here i will give a rating to Call of duty: Black ops.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Part 1 - Gameplay&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I personnaly did not like Black Op's gameplay that much. It seems there are 4 weapons used by everyone, and if you dont use them, youre dead. I preffered Infinity ward's engine a lot more.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rating-&lt;br&gt;BO - 3.0&lt;br&gt;MW2 - 7.5&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Part 2 - Security&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There were less glitches, and a bit less hackers. overall, same as MW2. still really annoying.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rating-&lt;br&gt;BO - 5.0&lt;br&gt;MW2 - 5.0&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Part 3 - Colour&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Black Ops was really REALLY gray. i mean like barely any colour at all. On the other hand, MW2 was really coloutull, and looked really really good.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rating-&lt;br&gt;BO - 1.0&lt;br&gt;MW2 - 9.5&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Part 4 - Balance&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Black ops had a few OP weapons, some got nerfed, but they had their effect. for example - AK74U. It was really annoying, snipers were so off, i could snipe at all. it got fixed, but still, no one uses snipers except for montages, everyone use the same weapons, and overall, not that balanced.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rating-&lt;br&gt;BO - 5.0&lt;br&gt;MW2 - 2.0&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Part 5 - Maps&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Block ops had fine maps. nothing else to add.&lt;br&gt;MW2 had great maps. except rust, which is good only for 1v1 / 2v2.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rating-&lt;br&gt;BO - 6.0&lt;br&gt;MW2 - 8.0&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Part 6 - FUN&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Black Ops was not fun for me. at all.&lt;br&gt;MW2 was pretty fun, except for some hacked lobbies, noob tubers and G-18 akimbo users.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rating-&lt;br&gt;BO - 1.0&lt;br&gt;MW2 - 7.5&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Overall-&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;BO - 3.5&lt;br&gt;MW2 - 7.0&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Extra parts:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Part 7 - Community reaction&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Black ops - Lots of people did not like it. play it because its the newest. except some.&lt;br&gt;MW2 - People loved most of it, except the OP weapons.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rating-&lt;br&gt;BO - 2.0&lt;br&gt;MW2 - 7.0&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Part 8 - Graphics&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Black ops - we were promised new and improved graphics. we got cool fire. thats it.&lt;br&gt;MW2 - Nice graphics for the time. I like them better.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rating-&lt;br&gt;BO - 6.0&lt;br&gt;MW2 - 7.0&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Overall + extras:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;BO - 3.5&lt;br&gt;MW2 - 7.0</description>

      <title>Updates ahoi!</title>
      <description>A new Call of Duty: Black Ops patch is incoming shortly. But what's included?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It's been pretty quiet on the patching side of things recently, but now Treyarch has revealed a long list of what the next patch will include.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The long lists fixes issues such as matchmaking and it also tunes more gameplay features, such as the sound with Ninja Pro on. But of course, there's much more than that.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In case you missed it, Community Manager Josh Olin has detailed the patching process here ».&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;bb_link&quot; href=&quot;https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.callofduty.com%2F%3Freferer%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.callofduty.com%252Fboard%252Fviewtopic.php%253Ff%253D70%2526t%253D346952&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot; noopener&quot; &gt;http://www.callofduty.com/?referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.callofduty.com%2Fboard%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ff%3D70%26t%3D346952&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now that you know the process, you should be aware of what each phase includes. The Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 update is currently in Phase 2 and will enter Phase 3 this Monday (6th Dec). This means that it is currently in test and will be submitted to Sony and Microsoft on Monday. Once the console manufacturers test and approve the update themselves, the patch can then be released. According to the estimated times of each phase, it's likely that the update will arrive in two weeks.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Full Article + List of updates: &lt;a class=&quot;bb_link&quot; href=&quot;https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fblackops.digitalwarfare247.com%2Fnews%2Fnew-updates-inbound-04-12&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot; noopener&quot; &gt;http://blackops.digitalwarfare247.com/news/new-updates-inbound-04-12&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Black Ops Shirts</title>
      <description>Who wouldn't want one of the awesome official licensed Black Ops T-shirts from our shop? We couldn't think of anyone...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That's right! DW24/7 has affiliated with J!NX » in selling official and licensed Call of Duty: Black Ops Tee's! You can order them straight via the links below, or by selecting [shop] from the main navigation bar in at the top.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also... while these official and licensed shirts look really great, we've been thinking of opening a community shop too. One that will feature fun gaming based tee's, mugs, mouse pads, etc.., ourselves. We're currently still polling ideas but could use your input here:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Full Article: &lt;a class=&quot;bb_link&quot; href=&quot;https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fblackops.digitalwarfare247.com%2Fnews%2Fblack-ops-t-shirts&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot; noopener&quot; &gt;http://blackops.digitalwarfare247.com/news/black-ops-t-shirts&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>The secrets of Black Ops!</title>
      <description>Need a break from multiplayer? Why not play some Zork, or Dead Ops Arcade? Still don't know how? By escaping the chair in the main menu, of course...&lt;br&gt;Many of you already know this, but there are too many gamers out there that don't even have a clue about it and that's just a shame... Treyarch worked hard to make this game as diverse as humanly possible, and they graduated with honors doing so.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hack into other user's accounts:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You'll be logged in as Mason (the leading character in the Singleplayer Campaign), but when you're done browsing through his files you may want to hack other user's accounts. You will need to find a list of available usernames to do so, not to forget the linked passwords... A list of all the users in the computer is something we can give you (type in WHO and press [ENTER]), but the corresponding passwords is something you'll have to figure out for yourself. We may give you a guide on how to get to the passwords, but for now all we can give you is a tip to closely reading Mason's email and files! Also, find as many of enemy intel in the singleplayer campaign (so not just for the achievement!) to have more files available in the terminal!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Full Article: &lt;a class=&quot;bb_link&quot; href=&quot;https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fblackops.digitalwarfare247.com%2Fnews%2Fsecrets-of-black-ops&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot; noopener&quot; &gt;http://blackops.digitalwarfare247.com/news/secrets-of-black-ops&lt;/a&gt;</description>

They are soon going to ban anyone who exploited the server but maybe not the ones who accidently got one kill and went directly to lvl 50.</description>

      <title>Black Ops Multiplayer and wallpaper!</title>
      <description>Treyarch didn't have a dedicated multiplayer team before Black Ops but World at War featured some great elements that couldn't be seen in any other Call of Duty. So what does this mean for Black Ops?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now that Call of Duty has become one of the (maybe even the) biggest selling franchises of all time, the studios involved need to step up their game. And Treyarch does just that. Since the beginning of development they have their complete studio dedicated to one game, Call of Duty: Black Ops. With previous games, including Call of Duty: World at War, Treyarch had limited manpower as only part of the studio was able to work on the Call of Duty franchise. The other parts were simultaneously working on different games, like Spider-Man and 007: Quantum of Solace. This meant limited man power and a smaller time frame to develop the game in.&lt;br&gt;This time around though, Treyarch has their full studio working on Black ops for two years straight at launch. They have dedicated teams for Multiplayer, Singleplayer and Co-op mode. Not only this promises a game that is that will probably feel &amp;quot;finished&amp;quot; in every way, it means we can also expect a major step forward from what we've previously seen!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Full Article + Wallpaper: &lt;a class=&quot;bb_link&quot; href=&quot;https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fblackops.digitalwarfare247.com%2Fnews%2Fmetagame-101-part-8&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot; noopener&quot; &gt;http://blackops.digitalwarfare247.com/news/metagame-101-part-8&lt;/a&gt;</description>
