There's really not many games out there that gets you excited.. so, throw your money blindly at Black Ops or you'll end up playing with your kids' toys.
Black Ops was deemed a failure before delivery because Treyarch was know to produce World at War... however, we were pleasantly surprised.
I think Black Ops 2 will be pretty darn good. MW3 is better than MW2 and MW1. So, I'm fairly happy with the game itself.
No game is perfect, but as long as it keeps us entertained and playing.. all good.
If not, we can go play Battlefield 3.. yeah right. LoL
