I feel bad for PS3 and PC players that are still waiting on the DLC though. I could see it being real frustrating. And honestly, I don't know if it's wise for Activision to withhold the DLC from them, particularly PS3 players. The game is already starting to get stale, and it could really use the injection of interest that the DLC would provide. Now instead of playing First Strike, PS3 players might be getting a look at the KZ3 beta, I'd wager. I know that's what I'll be doing. In the long term, CoD might lose some of its customers
It doesn't make sense for them to keep PS3 players waiting, because that's the only system that's getting attention from MLG for Black Ops, but what can you do, Microsoft has more money than god, so they can buy an early release on the DLC for Xbox. The game is definitely getting stale though, and I don't think that the DLC is going to change that. All the new maps with the exception of stadium are extremely ugly, from a colour standpoint. Everything is a shade of grey, just with something else added, like greyish blue, greyish red, greyish anything. Modern Warfare 2's maps were beautiful, and even the repackaged CoD4 maps were more pleasing to the eye than the originals. The only one that was bad to look at was Carnival, but that's cause it looked like someone threw up all different colours of paint all over the place.
The problem with Black Ops is there's no frustration. Nothing to complain about. It's a damn near perfectly balanced game. If it was as imbalanced as Modern Warfare 2, then people would play the hell out of it. Quite a few people are giving it a life cycle of 4-6 months, I'd say that's pretty accurate.
I will say, that picking the game up on PC has injected a new life to it for me. It feels like a totally different game.
