Forums → Games → [Main Thread] CoD? Put it here!

what i have gathered is this...
its in the future and its another version of the "cold war" with either russia or china. like now, russia and other communists are allies with the middle east. the communists get a highly capable hacking group that is the CoD version of the real life group, Anonymous (tacitus maybe?) anywho, the hackers hack into the control of all the U.S drones and take over a few, thus making the drones communist. i assume that at some point, your team breaks into the control and dissables everything their, hence the horses as they litrally have no tech now.

yes, the story line will feture mason in it. im guessing that you (mason jr or old mason) go and find woods and talk to him about whats going on. while you talk, you do a series of flash back missions. this means that their is some sort of secret that lies in the past.

it should be interesting, will the multiplayer take place in the future or cold war?

but thats pretty much all i know. i might make a video on it later.

Just watch Tmart's vid on it or any of the other breakdown vids to know what's going on.

Vonderhaar mentioned that the zombies will work with the improved multiplayer engine, which means double the amount of zombies and double the amount of coop players. From that I think 8 players in a zombie match, and from that I think of gigantic zombie maps. I like it.

This is my post to Maverick after he asked for my opinion on the Black Ops 2 Trailer.

This is uncut. I will elaborate on some parts if you ask but for the most part for anyone who's seen me around and talking about games, I think they'll know where I'm coming from.

Current thoughts on it, with only knowledge from Wikipedia which is minimal at best:

It's slightly innovative when it says entirely futuristic. As far as I'm concerned, by the Activision / Treyarch / IW formula that just means "slightly innovative" or &quotartially new" killstreaks (however entirely new for the franchise).

Nothing says good for the current balance of the game, and whilst I'm arguing with experience, it likely won't be balanced.

With the trailer? One moment.

Hrm. The trailer is lackluster. I mean sure, it's quite well packed with creations of Michael Bay but equally identified with first person camera perspectives -- the technology is just an element of the singleplayer and part of the current element in multiplayer.

This is also based on experience but quite frankly there's little flesh shown in this -- the vehicle mechanics were appalling in the previous Black Ops game and even if it were not, there's not much to it anyway.

Sorry, but vehicles are are primarily one of the following:
1) Enemy AI in Singleplayer / possibly Multiplayer.
2) Transportation for a cinematic (see escaping the prison in MW2, for example).
3) A blocky driving mechanic that incorporates sheer roflstomping because there's not much else to do in CoD.

If they're going to show off (which they know there's nothing to show, hence why they ONLY show teasers) then actually pick at the audience like Crysis 2 did. The multiplayer trailer (before release)?

Aside from the huge fall at the start, everything else I've seen and done in the game. They gave you the new things in the game, and they teased you for more with the weapons you can have and the perks (I forgot the names).

Of course, it's not entirely veracious - not everyone will travel in groups as such (and that invisibility doesn't always support that) and there are weapons that change how people react to things, often.

I don't know if that's the only trailer -- but they targetted Multiplayer, which is what people will go for.

Why wouldn't CoD? My honest guess is that they know nothing substantial is new in it.

If not, then why not have a trailer on Multiplayer? It's clearly the reason most people will purchase the game.

That comparison is kinda faulty, because the Crysis trailer is NOT a reveal trailer, which are usually made explicitly to hype up the game with fancy visuals.

For reference, here's the actual Crysis 2 Reveal Trailer

As for why they didn't show off other things, it's a matter of knowing your audience. If you reveal your game at an event like the Playoffs, you'll obviously gather more interest if you show robots blowing each other up instead of showcasing the multiplayer, which would be uninteresting to people that haven't bought your game or aren't gamers to begin with.

I'd expect most of the news regarding the game to come from E3, myself.

How did we get to talking about crysis on a CoD thread?

hey guys you really need to look at http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/b/community_blog/archive/2012/05/02/call-of-duty-black-ops-ii-coming-11-13-12.aspxthis link it's about black ops 2 and it looks like they're going to make up for MW3 and i think it just might be the best call of duty to date from what i see

they should make one like battlefield because MW3 is not rly MW3 without jeeps, tanks, planes, ETC

so im saying battle field is more than 20x better than this MW3 crap

My opinion is everyone above 15 will think what the f**k and anyone younger will be like robots awesome which is ironic because cod is 18+ and they design it for kids.

If robots and stuff are in multiplayer BF here I come

[url=http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/b/community_blog/archive/2012/05/02/call-of-duty-black-ops-ii-coming-11-13-12.aspx] sorry about whatever happened to the last link i tried maybe this one will work

ok my apology for that last post perhaps that one will work

Well you won't miss the trailer for black ops 2 now. With youtube practically shoving it in everyone's face. I mean not to diss with all the ads because I actually use good adsense but seriously when i have to watch trailers between 1-3 minutes long its gets annoying. I liked back in the old days when all you saw was a few ads and they didn't get all in your face.

What particularly annoying is when your ad can't be skipped of if you have a bad connection and it has to buffer and you have to wait for it. Or there's this fairly new thing that they do where they put the ad in the middle of a movie. So you watch it about half-way through and then you get this 1-3 minute ad. Jeez its annoying.

And I don't know if anyone on here uploads videos from their PC but that is annoying to because if you go to another website or you enter too much information before its finished uploading then it just stops at whatever percentage and doesn't do a thing.

Anyway enough with that. So I am hoping that black Ops 2 will mix things up but not so much to the point where the game is terrible because it is new. But to the point where the new will be better. I did miss being able to drive cars back in COD 3 not MW3 for those people that get the 2 confused. But seriously what sucks about FPS games that have cars is that anyone can just run you over for a free kill and it is easy and takes little effort. And Vehicle on Vehicle battles never work because it is easier to just jump out and shoot a rocket.

So I am hoping that if there is a vehicle concept that it won't indeed suck

@Man:
Charlie Intel is better. They have much more information and update it frequently.
