Just switched from CoD 4 to Black Ops 1 and my brain is completely broken — anyone else go through this?

Hey guys, fairly new CoD player here — I've been playing CoD 4 for about 3 months now and just made the jump to Black Ops today, and honestly day one has been a bit of a culture shock. The game is great but there are two things throwing me off hard and I wanted to see if anyone had tips or if I just need to suffer through it.

1. The TTK feels way longer than I'm used to

In CoD 4 I got used to enemies dropping really fast — like I could almost predict the exact moment a gunfight would end. In Black Ops I keep having that same expectation but the enemy just... keeps going for a split second longer than I anticipate. It's not huge but it's enough to mess with my timing and get me killed because I'm moving on mentally before the guy is actually dead. Is this a real difference or am I just bad lol? Any tips on adjusting to it?

2. The sprint mechanic is not what I expected at all

This one is killing me. In CoD 4, sprinting was a toggle — tap Shift to start sprinting, tap Shift again to stop. Clean and simple. In Black Ops, it seems like the same system is there at first — tap Shift once and you start sprinting — but the problem is tapping Shift a second time does absolutely nothing. You're stuck sprinting and the only ways to get out of it are to aim down sights or to release W and press it again. That's completely breaking my muscle memory because my hands are trained to just tap Shift to cancel the sprint, and it just doesn't work here. Is there a setting to fix this, or is this just something I have to painfully unlearn?

Appreciate any help from people who've been through this transition. Loving the game overall just need my hands to cooperate lol.

[ BO2 ] Signed Black ops 2 poster

Going through some old stuff from my childhood. Found this signed poster I was gifted from the release of black ops 2. Any idea who this autograph is from or know who it is? I have no idea where and when it was signed.

I’ve been really wanting to play this game for a while. Even though I love Zombies, I also wanted to know if it’s still worth buying for the multiplayer in 2026.

Are there still enough players in the game modes to find matches consistently, or would it just be a waste of money?
