ovoon: I skipped Black Ops. I think I played it on a free weekend.
However, I've played a ton of pretty much every major CoD since the first game.
The series is garbage, and is doing more harm to the game industry than... sports games.
However, I find myself enjoying them. Quite a bit. More so than I should.
CoD 1, 2 and 4 had some excellent campaigns though, I will say that.
Not that I'm saying the later ones are more balanced, just CoD 4 had major annoyances for me. I still find calling in brutal killstreaks that do all the work for you and last stand needs to be removed. Seriously, you can kill someone, then they get an extra amount of health with last stand and you die, or someone steals the kill. So annoying. Even if they bleed out, you wont get the points. I think Black Ops changed that but MW3 kept it stupid.
Oh i dont know. COD4 multi was the first MP i really got into and completed (lvl 50). Yes u had juggernaut and yes u had martyrdom but u get the good with the bad. Still go back to it on and off :). Black Ops multi was just as playable.... except for the horrendous number of patches it needed to get to a playable state :/.However, I've played a ton of pretty much every major CoD since the first game.

nijuu: COD4 pretty much had the right balance of the recent COD games. Very good SP and excellent multi. Ones coming after it were either too short SP wise or the multiplayer was **** (im looking at you MW2 and 3). Black Ops was pretty fun for MP AFTER what seemed like hundreds of patches.
