Call of Duty: Black Ops First Impressions

I haven't gotten as much time in playing this game as I would have like so far. I've only played about 5 hours of gameplay and that's split pretty evenly between the Multiplayer and Singleplayer game.

I went to the midnight release at Gamestop and I told myself that I would truck through and pull and all nighter. My goal was to stay up till 5am playing multiplayer, ranking up, and maybe unlocking some of the awesome customization features. That definitely didn't happen. I played until about 2:15 and I was done. Those 2 hours(roughly) are all of my experience with the multiplayer so far.

In my brief time playing, I really thought this was the most fun I've had in a CoD game in quite sometime. I mean everyone else was new and no one could afford the Grenade Launchers yet, but still it was fun. It was also a little different than any other CoD game I've played. I mean it's still Call of Duty and it felt like CoD, but it actually takes more accurate shots to take someone down.

It felt pretty good on Tuesday morning, but I wonder what the multiplayer looks like now. I hope noob tubes aren't out in force.

When I woke up Tuesday, I went right into the single player campaign and played for maybe 3 hours. It was a lot of fun. It is different than any other CoD game in that respect. In fact the actual narrative is close to Assassins Creed. The missions themselves play just like other CoD missions. I can already tell this game is going to suck on Veteran difficulty even if Treyarch fixed the 'nade spaming that was World at War.

I don't want to give too much up on the story, so I'll leave it at that From my understanding this campaign is pretty short, so I'll probably have it beat tonight.
