Sounds logical to me. The rumors have been floating around since the success of Black Ops. I must even admit that I'm very much looking forward. Loved the story part of the first BO and we're still playing mp now

Story was fcking stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It had one of those fight club twists but for 8 year olds! I knew what was going on long before the reveal.

[Radical_53]

So? It was very well made. It isn't that hard to know how an action movie and/or shooter game ends, it's how you get there.
For my taste the MW storyline got more and more exaggeration whilst other games' campaigns are plain boring (or start to get interesting right before they end, e.g. MoH or BF3). BO and WaW were just about right for me, also kept me entertained for around 20 hours. It was much harder than MW3 or BF3 on their highest settings and the hidden "secrets" actually gave you some background information, I thought that was kinda neat.

I do hope there's a release for Black Ops 2, I quite enjoyed the first...

no i want focus on gameplay not graphics who gives a crap

[S†v0r]

So you want ****ty gfx and on top of that same old ****ty game play?

[Radical_53]

Graphics are absolutely fine and gameplay has always been top-notch, at least the Treyarch package (and MW1 ).
They'll have a new engine for sure when the next Xbox comes out. Until then a tweakable, stable engine with ranked dedicated servers is absolutely fine.
It's the gameplay that counts and they definitely got that right. MW3 lacks some decent-sized maps but BO is a great title.

hehe yes to a COD fanboy like you

[Radical_53]

Well, of course one needs to like this type of game to enjoy it. I've played every part of the series, single- and multiplayer, so I guess that makes me a fan of the series.
Graphics could be a little less cartoony but at least there's no blue tint and it doesn't have flashlights or laser beams everywhere

Zombies is awesome!!! They should release a full game of zombies. They could do so much with it!

[Mikedogg]

I'll admit it. Black ops was the only COD after COD 2 I really enjoyed.

-The story was twisted but came together in the end.
-The GFX were quite good, really. And for a port, and after a few patches the game ran really well.


Bring on Number 2.

Sure but it's a modified Quake 3 engine, it's time for a new one.

Wait, what ranked dedicated servers? I thought dedicated servers were not ranked.

I agree, either COD franchise needs to die, or they need to bring something new to the table, having the same game every year since 2007, which each one has less desirable features then COD4, is getting out of hand and ridiculous

And honestly, the only thing i can think of, is a brand new, built from scratch, engine

Your statement would be all fine and dandy, only problem is, we're being fed the same crap every year and being charged an enormous regurgitated price for it

COD4 was the best, why? Dedicated servers, custom maps, mods, tweaks, small mods (server side) etc. etc. etc., without all of that, SOMETHING else has to change, and since Activision has no interest in letting the PC platform be able to mod and make custom maps, an engine change not dependent on the next gen consoles is what is required

What activision is doing with the COD franchise is like a car company releasing a brand new vehicle every single year with nothing new but a new paint job and touting it as if it's biggest thing to be released since ever and expecting everyone to go buy the current years model even if they already have the model from 4 years ago with a different paint job

Black Ops has considerably better visuals, aka graphics, than MW2 or MW3. Try maxing out Black Ops once, use SuperSampling AA, I looks very nice.

It has better maps, textures, and sound as well.

Lets face it the only good MW was CoD4 MW1.

For a lot of people, especially on PC, Black Ops was the best since MW1.

I could not disagree more with everything you've stated.

Personally, I've not really enjoyed any CoD game (aside from the first level of the Russian campaign in CoD:FH when I was still playing console nonsense on the original Xbox as a kid with poor-taste). The gameplay is pure garbage, IMO, and the graphics are AWFUL. And the continual shafting of PC-gaming strengthens my resolve to not buy Activision crap.

Best thing ever would be if the entire franchise imploded and Activision died.

Sadly not going to happen, however.

Nothing to say that hasn't been said already. CoD needs to evolve or die.
