I really wish I had listen to my friends and rented this instead of buying it. I'm not a big single player/campaign fan so I have not played it and probably won't.

As for the on line multiplayer, think I have about 25hrs in although if they include time spent sitting in the lobby, game play itself amounts to about 7 or 8 hrs, I kid you not. Like every game in the last couple of years, the connection issues have been a really big problem with this game, some nights to the point that after trying for 45 minutes to get into a game I just give up. Some of this had to do with lack of servers and a lot had to do with programming issues. Once you are in, you're not going to find anything new or cutting edge here. The only new concept is being able to buy what you would normally need kill streaks to obtain. Get enough kills or team support and earn the money needed to buy the air strike, tank, LAV, hummer, etc.The boards a pretty well laid out and spawning, well let just say I have had few experience where I spawn and died without being given the chance to defend myself. I'm still trying to figure out whether the hit detection is off or whether it just the lag causing some of the things I'm seeing. There seem to be object on the maps that are bigger then they appear. As an example,opponents standing behind vehicles partially under cover, you can see them, you just can't hit them. Normally, a clip from the M4 gets the job done in this game, but I have experienced cases where I have put every clip I have into an opponent, hit detection indicated on pretty much every shot and they either walk away or return one shot and I'm dead, most likely lag. I do have a pretty good connection, just tested at speedtest.net 45mbps down and 1 mbps up.

My recommendation is rent this cause I'm thinking you'll find yourself back playing Black Ops in a couple of weeks.
