Treyarch boss Mark Lamia talked about his studio's latest game, Call of Duty: Black Ops, during the Spike TV Video Game Awards, and revealed that, judging by the reaction so far, gamers were extremely happy with the game, despite many glitches and lag problems.

Lamia has unveiled to Joystiq that, as of right now, the studio is getting a huge amount of feedback from gamers, and most of it is praise for managing to craft such a great single and multiplayer experience.

"The response that I've gotten is that people are happy with the game," the Treyarch boss stated.

This doesn't mean the studio is going to slow down, as Lamia promises that his team will be focused on further polishing the experience and making it the best first-person shooter out there.

"Right now we are just focused on the PC and console SKUs that were just launched. There's millions of people playing every day, and we're focused on supporting that. So everyone who bought and is investing their time in Black Ops, they can expect that that's just how we work."

The Treyarch boss also chimed in on the competition between Activision studios, specifically between Treyarch and the founders of the Call of Duty series, Infinity Ward.

Lamia revealed that it was never about one-upping the competition, but about making the best experience the studio could make, and that Treyarch was still "a Call of Duty studio as far as anyone is concerned."

"We've just got to stay focused on what we want, what we're making and our own creative, and that's really the best way to do your best work."

These are some pretty big words, especially in terms of the customer satisfaction, as many of our readers continue to leave comments about the terrible online issues and about glitches in the single-player mode.

While I suppose that overall people enjoy the game now, if they don't address the stupid spawn system, the hit detection or lack there of and the overzealous nerf of snipers, people will not be so happy much longer...

I get tired of joining a game doing really well them some panzy quits and sends the game into host migration which 7 out of 10 times fails.. I lose my kill streak rewards and valuable time on contracts as the ticker keeps running. There are people either using aim bots or know the trick to killing people cause I will unload a clip up close in some guys face and he barely raises his gun fires one shot and I am dead. Then you watch the kill cam and it shows u not even aiming at the guy when u saw it with your own two eyes. Or laggers who you will shot in front of u and then they end up behind you stabbing u what a croc of crap.. Glad I got the game from a friend for free and didn't have to pay for this... Back to MW2
