Xbox 360 is optimized for 720p... The Game does not matter.

Graphics: I like them a lot better than the Glazed Donut, Vaseline covered MW2 feel.

Game Play: Where to start? after 45 hours I have seen 2 noobtubers. No quick scoping. A hell of a lot more difficult to camp due to map design. Shotguns cant kill you from 100m away. No Grenade spam, Kill streak reward kills to not add to your kill streak packages (10 kills from a chopper gunner does not get you the next reward in your kill streaks). Weapons are a hell of a lot more balanced. No more Stopping Power. No more Commando 20 foot melees. Famas has recoil. No game ending Nukes......

Lobbying: There is a 90% chance that someone on your friends list will end up on your team if not in a Party. This is a plus.

This is not MW2. If Light Weight, Ninja, Nootubes, Quick Scoping, Shotgun sniping, Akimbo 1887's.... are your style then it is probably not the game for you.

They do have some spawn, and lag issues they are working out. But what games don't?

This game is far superior in core , and purest, game play.

IMHO

I am speaking from an xbox 360 point of view...

The gameplay that I've been watching seems to corroborate with what you said. Black Ops looks like it's definitely going to be more skill-based than MW2. Hopefully this means that the damn 12 year olds on MW2 won't play it.

It may be optimized but I notice a huge difference between 720 and 1080 with the HDMI cable.

Brother... Nothing keeps the squeakers out of the matches. HOWEVER, I forgot to mention this.

Party Chat allowed in all game modes. +10!

Long gone are the days of listening to Squeakers, morons making racial slurs at me because my gamer tag is x626x BLACK.... I am Caucasian WFT? Long lines of streamed together profanity by kids who's parents have no clue or care... I can just sit and listen to my team mates.

Well the HDMI cable makes the huge difference over Component. Regardless of the resolution.

I am talking about toggling between 720 and 1080 in the menus.

The graphics dont compare at all to MW2 but after putting 15 hours into the online multiplayer mode im digging it. I have to say i expected more out of it but the game does provide more modes (online) than MW2. i like the wager matches etc.. that they have added. If the graphics were better and if the customization options were actually helpful (i.e. camoflauge) id give this game a 10/10. but for now it sits at a 7.5/10 for me.

At first I was skeptical. I figured... MW2 with a new title and new maps.... The game proved me wrong.

Some of the Perks are easy to make pro and add a new dynamic to the game.

Get Hardline Pro: You can change those pesky ammo care packages... You can also change other peoples care packages.. I love this.

Also Second Chance Pro: You take a lot longer to bleed out (15 secs+/-), and you can be revived... Extends those kill streaks!

Hardened Pro, gives your turrets and choppers deeper impact also.

Here is a good read:

I could care less which console it looks better on, but I like that they broke the game down from a technical standpoint.

[franknbeans]

it's ok, but I think MW2 is much better.

it sounds way to cartoon-ish compared to MW2. . . the grenades going off is just a loud POP. .

guns don't sound very good either.
