In what way was the original Black Ops trash? I may have a different view point than you as I really enjoyed playing it personally.
It may have been fixed, but at launch (and for a while thereafter) everything was awful. The connections were always such garbage, getting a game was a chore when you had a party...my biggest qualm was that on the best connection I've ever played on (yay university internet), the lag between someone elses connection and mine was so obviously apparent on killcams. Meaning I would be dead without seeing them on my screen, but on the kill cam they saw me for like 5 seconds. I also thought the guns were pretty awfully unbalanced. Zombies was fun though. All in all, I just don't think Treyarch makes good CoD games.
