I have not played a steam game before.  I know several of my friends who have, and they have no issues with it.  Im not really understanding the issues that people do have with it. 

What I find disappointing with the new COD is VAC.  We do a lot of things with PB that go beyond just banning for cheats.  Word on the street is that VAC tends to ban a bunch of people at once (as does pb), but isn't supported for long and they stop banning.  PB does this as well, though that hasnt' appeared to have happened in BC2 yet. 

There are many things that are less convenient about Black Ops than say, COD4.  Fewer things from an admin standpoint than BC2.  We had a lot of learning to do with BC2 at the beginning - no server files, no direct access to the config files (we have to go through a gameservers.com control panel).  The monitor, thanks to gHoTi is still the only way for general JHF members to kick/ban etc.   The main drawback I see with BC2 is exactly what we are experiencing right now.  We have a game that has no new content coming to it.  I still find it fun, but I can understand those who play 4 hours a night - the maps become stale.  Mapathy™ as it were.

So there are drawbacks to Black Ops - but I still see it having two important items:  dedicated servers (no iwnet nonsense) and mod tools (anyone remember playing customs and goofing around at night?  mapathy ).

So what it comes down to for me would be - is the game fun?  Frankly Black ops looks fun.  The Medal of Honor title may be fun too, but it doesn't look nearly as good from the previews to me.  Whatever we wind up playing we can work around the issues with the game and what is lacking from an admin standpoint.  We will likely never see another game like uo/cod4.  Sad, but we'll have to deal with that.

gungame and one in the chamber look like fun.  and of course zombies.

Gun Game is a new game mode confirmed to be in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Gun Game is a Wager Match game mode, meaning players bet CoD Points and receive payout if they finish in the top three. The game mode consists of an unknown amount of players competing in a free-for-all  style game. Each player starts off with a pistol and upon getting more kills, will receive better weapons. Upon death by knife, the player goes down one weapon level. The first person to achieve a kill with all twenty weapons wins.

One in the Chamber is a new game mode confirmed to be in Call of Duty: Black Ops. One in the Chamber will consist of 6 players competing in a free-for-all style game with a twist. Each player starts off with a Makarov  with only one round in it, hence the name "One in the Chamber". One more bullet will be given to the player after every kill. The player will also only receive three lives, making it the first Call of Duty  game mode that has a limited amount of lives with no respawning rounds. It seems that one shot kills even if the player shoots them in the leg or any other non lethal area. Players will be forced to use melee in situations where they have used their bullet, meaning tense knifing action between players if they have missed their shot.

Sharpshooter is a new game mode confirmed to be in Call of Duty: Black Ops, and is part of the Wager Match  series of game modes. Sharpshooter will consist of an unknown amount of players competing in a free-for-all style game with a twist. All players start off with the same randomly selected weapon for 45 seconds. After that time, a new weapon will be randomly selected. Every kill will earn the player a perk and eventually a scoring multiplier. It is unknown what requirements must be met to win.

Sticks and Stones is a new game mode confirmed to be in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Sticks and Stones will consist of an unknown amount of players competing in a free-for-all style game. Everyone will start out with a Crossbow, Ballistic knife, and a Tomahawk. If you manage to kill somebody with a Tomahawk, you will bankrupt the target.

Yeah, a TOMAHAWK
