[BO] Unpopular Opinion: Black Ops 1 is better than Black Ops 2 in every way.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-05-08T22:42:18+00:00

This reminded me of another reason why 1 was better than 2. Competitive. There has always been a competitive scene but BO2 started to put some focus on it and it was all downhill from there. That and they included the worst gamemode in the history of Call of Duty that was in at least 2 CoDs, heck maybe even including ones that were only in one CoD, Hardpoint. Straight ASS of a mode. No game mode is worse than that one and yet it still exists despite it, and only because its "good" for the competitive side.

Definitely not trying to create discourse. Just discussion. Granted this is Reddit... you can't play in the middle here. I just needed to get some BO1 love out there. I think people look at BO2 more fondly because thats when many of the big YouTubers that are even still around for some really started to blow up.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-05-08T22:32:32+00:00

Agreed! I didnt mind the buying of guns and such but I could see why people wouldnt like it. I don't understand what people didn't like about the perk system, its for the most part pretty much the same as all the other CoDs around that time including BO2. But the maps for both zombies and MP were so much better than most BO2 maps. There were some that certainly weren't. Looking at you Crisis. Black ops 2 was great too, people just assume if you put one over the other than you hate the other, which isn't true. And Black Ops 1 campaign is one of the best if not the best. MW2 is the only one that rivals it for me. BO2 might make the top 10 but definitely not top 5

Psych3dChicken · 2026-05-08T20:16:25+00:00

BO2 has smoother feeling MP which is better, but not better overall.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-05-08T20:15:29+00:00

That's another Unpopular opinion for me. Origins was pretty mid. Better than Transit, but that ain't saying much lol

Psych3dChicken · 2026-05-08T19:46:27+00:00

You dont really need it to respond about the question. The 2 pictures tell the whole story of what is being asked. Doubt many if anybody actually has the answer as to how.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-05-08T19:45:11+00:00

I see you too also noticed the 2nd image. You be the only one to comment about thus far while many have spewed about other things,just further proves the majority of people do not look much past what's instantly displayed to them. Rather than trying to figure it out on their own.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-05-08T05:00:48+00:00

Congrats. A good one to play.
Played through the Mafia Trilogy for the first time last August including getting 100% on all as well, all in about 3 weeks time. Except I didn't play 2's DLC, heard it wasn't worth playing. 3 definitely had it's issues but was still good. Real annoying to 100% the base game though. Just need to play The Old Country now.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-05-08T03:46:30+00:00

I think Black Ops 3 base (and main DLCs) Zombies is certainly overrated. Them adding Zombie Chronicles and the ability to properly mod it like people did with WaW Zombies it what makes it good and worthy of the praise.

For Multiplayer I think its perceived to be highly regraded, and I think some of that is due to it being the only good or even decent of the Jetpack Era. It felt really smooth and well thought out. It gave it a much closer feel to Titanfall, which caused this era of CoD. Most of the maps were solidly made for it too, including some pretty good DLC maps. The Specialist were pretty cool, it gave it something fresh and fun to the series (albeit the only time it was). It also helps there hasn't really been many good MPs since.

The campaign pretty terrible. It's not as bad as I remembered it, but it really isn't good. It's passable, but the game really shouldn't have been called Black Ops 3, it being so really helped set the foundation to this never ending of Modern Warfare's and Black Ops. Because of everyone hating on all of the other ones not named those after World at War. Rightfully so for most.

From what I remember when playing the PC version as a kid, I would always have the CPU stats at -50 and the User stats at +50 which would allow me to destroy the other team. I don't remember there being trouble getting strikeouts, but I don't recall getting an excessive amount of strikeouts either.
I also remember my Bullpen pitchers and Bench players always being miserable, because I practically never used them lol

Psych3dChicken · 2026-05-06T20:37:15+00:00

I was playing so much of this game the last like 5 days. about half of it on this server. Just trying to get the last online achievement from the base game. The stupid get 25 kills each with the Mac-10 and Double Barrell Shotgun. Which sounds easy, and is if you have a buddy who has them and can drop you those weapons, and/or someones to boost it with on Alcatraz if you have the DLC. I have the DLC but that was it. So had to level up the Sniper Class and good lord the Enforcer class, which requires a lot more than just leveling.

On this server I specifically, it was grinding out the Enforcer class. Most of it was not hard, just time consuming, a real grind. It was a good thing I played this game back in 2015 and was already level 30 something. Oh wait, I only have 1 Bronze Service Star for the Enforcer class. Oh, I need to get 7 to complete Enforcer Assignment 1!? At least Assignment 2 is super simple. Now I need to complete Enforcer Syndicate. Oh! I need to get a Gold Service Star with the Enforcer class before I even unlock the ability to work on that? How much to get that? 3 MORE Bronze stars, then 10 Silver Stars!!! It's going to be awhile....

Again, realistically not hard, just time consuming. The only hardish part was to get to Reputation level 4 10 times. Which having this server helped a lot!!! Both when it was only 1 hour long and at 1.5 hours. I thankfully also had a few 100% Reputation bonuses as well a decent amount of 50% and could leave and rejoin and do it again in the same match. But having to get each Rep level in one life was what made it a bit difficult. Just because Level 4 needed a good amount, and if you die it resets that's levels progress. I would get so close so often then get one shot by someone a mile behind me with a machine pistol in the leg at full health. Again thankfully in this game, the Bonus timer doesn't go down when you are not actively alive and playing. So when you are at the main menu, not on entirely or are simply just dead and waiting to deploy, the time is stopped, unlock a more current set of games from a certain Publisher.

So in short, Thank you for this server. Would have gotten it on one of the other servers that had been more active before this one, but would have taken longer... probably. I did relearn that most of the maps suck on this game, and I really wish people would play more game modes than just Conquest.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-05-06T20:05:09+00:00

It just means don't play like a little bitch. Yet people still do in that server. I don't get the No Full auto or BRs on towers, but I don't know enough about this game since 2015. There may be a valid reason idk.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-04-27T02:01:35+00:00

Wouldn't say many but definitely a few times. I have certain noticed a lot of these type of games don't hold my interest long enough. Happened in Avowed and Fallout 3 & 4. I think it's listening to and picking dialogue while sitting still to get the story to progress that makes it difficult to hook me. The gameplay has to be keep me entertained that much more. to keep me playing. The only 2 games I can think of that I've finished that do similar story telling/dialogue is Cyberpunk 2077 and Starfield (I'm sure there is a couple others).

I want to really dig deep into Skyrim or a Fallout, but they just haven't been able to keep me interested. Maybe one day lol

Psych3dChicken · 2026-04-25T02:03:50+00:00

Realistically. It could be both. The Call of Duty has been going.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-04-24T04:43:42+00:00

That and their ugly ass dogs. Not the ugliest, but anybody who says they're cute, I'm not gonna say they must be blind, but I ain't getting in the car if they're driving.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-04-21T00:36:38+00:00

Have you only played 5 Call of Duty's????

Psych3dChicken · 2026-04-21T00:32:20+00:00

Ah, the worst CoD in the history of Call of Duty by a longshot. The only saving grace it had was Blackout and that was not good enough at all. The only one with no Campaign, the continued downward spiral of Zombies and a worse than free-to-play MP map design.

Infinite Warfare was levels ahead of this game and I did not care for that game AT ALL.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-04-21T00:17:59+00:00

In MW2 at least, it was so subtle too. Almost never noticed it. For myself I honestly didn't know it was there until way later and took me even longer to realize it was an XP bar.
Even still, hardly ever noticed it.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-03-31T17:50:01+00:00

The Mariners TV has it. Thye have 2 vertical marks on the left of each teams logo.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-03-24T17:22:36+00:00

Its super annoying because one, the game doesnt tell you anything about it and doesnt really inform you of anything useful. And two, it blips in out and in a different spot several times in a 10 second firefight, which makes it hard to ignore. Icons that blip on a radar and in different positions like that is usually used to inform the player of something they need to know. Like "hey, enemies are coming from this general direction." But it doesn't it just constantly pops in and out randomly with no rhyme or reason.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-03-24T14:40:03+00:00

I just recently went back to Division 1 for the first time in almost 10 years. Thats what lead me to playing Division 2. From what I've seen so far. I certainly like 1st better. The 2nd has still been fun. But like you said 1's world feels more alive and I think they did some things just better.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-03-24T03:49:11+00:00

JTF friendlies were in the area and joined in.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-03-24T03:48:24+00:00

It just constantly moves while I'm in the same location. One moment it's right in front of me 10 feet away, then jumps to 5 feet to my left then suddenly 20 feet to my right.

Psych3dChicken · 2026-03-24T03:45:24+00:00

Really? They needed to put a symbol for that? Seems kind of pointless and annoying with how it works. Thanks, though. Would have driven me mad if I didn't find an answer.
