How do you feel about CoD Black Ops?

I was impressed with black ops, it was not a waste of money. I like the online play though. But to be frank, the knifing range blows! And the spawning machine (or some people know it as the spawning engine) is bad. It isnt horrible, its just bad. The graphics are nice and my gameplay was very smooth. But the new edition of LS+Direction+B to do a dive was not all that helpful to me. And replacing the Tac-Knife with the Ballistics Knife I think was an interesting idea but I think you should be able to have one or the other and like choose in the options pane or something. And throwing knife replaced by tomahawk was in my opinion good. Umm, well everybody online is competitive, some are y, and some are just noobs (trust me, noobs is the last word I wanted to use in this question, i dont like that word) and the ballistics in black ops were improved compared to the ballistics in mw2 which weren't accurate. I also don't like how you can't snipe too well in most maps. Also, zombies was good. I like the maps, and I always start tripping when I get the teddy bear and I'm advancing through the map shooting where I last stepped with the countless zombies coming after me but that's fun every now and again. Well I guess I should stop answering the question with my own opinions and let you guys get to it. So thanks in advance!
