Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

[youngchew]

Official zombies trailer is supposed to drop sometime today. Rumors floating around the COD forums that they might show the Nuketown zombies map...

I've never really been into zombies, but apparently Blops 2 Zombie mode will have 8 players, and they've changed a few things. Kinda interested to see what they've done...

Black Ops 2 is now less than 6 weeks away...

Looks like I won't be making it to 20th prestige in MW3. Almost at 17th, but I popped in COD4 the other day and can't stop playing it. There def are a handful of modders on rooftops/inside walls. Not too bad, been addicting nonetheless.

In order to get Nuketown Zombies, I have to pre-order AND I have to get Hardened Edition? So, since I'm only interested in zombies, I'm paying $20 for one map? And I'm actually considering it?

Yeah, I tossed in MW2 for fun this past weekend, there were wall hacks and auto-aim hacks galore. it was unplayable.

yeah, that pissed me off. Typical corporate greed, but I guess as long as folks will pay, they'll keep doing it. The way things are now, it seems as though you've got to purchase the most expensive version of the game to get all the goodies.


Here's the trailer:

Just wait a little bit and they will release it as a stand-alone DLC. Most of my friends will not have the map at release so I am not going to worry about it. I am only getting the game for Zombies as well. I wish they would just sell Zombies as a DLC, I am tired of spending my money on this crap they have been putting out lately.

Further Multiplayer changes that I've taken note of:

- Sleight of Hand is no longer a perk, it's an attachment
- Steady Aim is no longer a perk, it's an attachment (comes with red laser beam)
- Quickdraw is no longer a perk, it's an attachment

As far as the new Create-a-Class system, you can choose 10 things to use, call them "points". Everything counts as a point, from tactical equipment to your primary weapon. You use "wildcards" to add something extra in the same slot. These wildcards also cost a point. So if you want 2 perks in the same slot, you must use 3 points when counting the wildcard. You can use 6 perks, but you must use 3 wildcards to do so, leaving you with 1 point - a bare nekked gun. The potential issue people see with that are teammates dying on purpose to hand out beefed-up guns to all their friends loaded up with perks.

There are a few limitations it looks like, you aren't going to be rolling around with 3 or more primary weapons.

Sounds like a pretty neat system. Definitely something new and fresh to COD.

I put in my leave Monday to take off work for release day in November. A 30 year old dude standing outside at midnight with a bunch of 8th graders. What a loser.

I just realized that Blops 2 comes out that Tuesday of Veterans Day. I'm already off on Mondays, so I'll be off on Tuesday automatically. Just put in leave for Wednesday.

I'll be playing this game for 2 days straight. no shower, no sleep. only bathroom breaks and bites of food in between games. Wife better not say **** to me either.

Yeah, its always this time of year I find it difficult to play the current COD. I really like MW3, but now it's at the point where I'm using guns, perks and attachments I wouldn't normally use, just to keep it interesting. Playing a lot of Free-for-all, which is a bunch of cheap kills from behind and kill-steals one after the other. It is the most constant action though, so I've subjected myself to it.

I hear Call of Duty Elite is free with Black Ops 2. That's bitchin'.

[youngchew]

two weeks from tonight!!!

Yeah stroker, elite will be free. way awesome.

[RANSKINS98]

Ahhhh its been awhile fell off plaing MW3 awhile ago just stopped BF3 and just started black ops again. Cant wait till the two is out got my pre order in and took PTO. They wife and the kid better stay out my way

[youngchew]

one week from tonight.

I'm sad that nobody else is getting as hyped as I a, this post has been dead for months. Maybe I'm the only 30 year old loser who plans on standing outside at midnight with the 16 year old kids?

I went down into my man cave to play Black Ops last night only to find that my son stole my copy to take back to his mothers.

Son of a ...

This game series is exactly everything that is wrong with the gaming industry these days and why kickstarter and indie projects have taken off. So i guess in a way i should thank CoD for pushing most people to their limit. This game should be 29.99 upon release. Until they update the engine and the muddy graphics, all you get is new maps and weapons and a couple game play tweaks for full retail. I hope CoD crashes and burns, but i know it wont. Plenty of people it seems are happy to play the same game over and over while shelling out $60 bucks a year for the same run and gun repeat experience. With that being said, i def want to see how it plays on the Wii U. With the addition of the controller, it might be worth the full retail purchase if the added controller content is worth it. Probably not though.
