Black Ops 2
 

http://www.gamespot.com/news/black-o...-radar-6363855
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will go on sale this November, according to Spanish retail site Fnac.


Is Black Ops 2 coming this November? One retailer thinks so.
Activision had previously confirmed that a new Call of Duty title would ship in 2012, but did not provide a name or a release window. Call of Duty has had new installments debut between late October and mid-November every year since the franchise was launched in 2003.

The retail listing does not provide further information regarding the game, and as of press time, Activision had not responded to GameSpot's request for comment.

This is far from the first indication that this year's Call of Duty game will be Call of Duty Black Ops 2. Two weeks ago, Amazon France reportedly posted (and then pulled) a listing for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Later, a contract art studio employee's resume included mention of the game.

Treyarch developed the original Call of Duty: Black Ops, which was set during the Cold War. For more on the original Call of Duty: Black Ops, check out GameSpot's review.

I see what you did there G.

God yes. Miss dolphin diving in MW3.

Eagerly awaiting the second act of the Black Ops 2 Fallen Angel show after this releases

I predict he will make 500+ posts in this thread talking about how is not going to buy it, buy it, sell it then buy it again. I pretty much predicted this in the MW3 thread and it came true.

You were right. I will man up and admit that. Though for console FPS games we are left with little choice.

As for Black Ops 2, I do plan on buying it. Out of all the CoD games I have played I feel Black Ops was the most balanced and fun to play.

The custom emblem editor needs to come back in this as well. Don't know how that didn't make it into MW3.

This. I had a very nice emblem and enjoyed seeing it on my guns.

In hindsight, I fail to remember anything in Blops that was particularly bad. Spawn system was annoying at times with people tending to spawn in behind you a lot but I believe they fixed that early on. I think the best part of the game was the in game cash for weapons, equipment which allowed you to unlock what you wanted in the order you wanted instead of waiting 53 fucking levels for a claymore :mad:

Fuck you g. I found this news first.

I hope they have Napalm Strike again, probably the best killstreak CoD has ever had.

D Mac, you failed. This thead is G's.

I think it would be interesting if they had a weight capacity for weapons and equipment. Really could add to the uniqueness of each class.

For example, you can choose your weapon, how many clips, your secondary, grenades, tactical, etc. How much you are carrying determines your movement speed as well so if you want a class that's fast as hell pick a SMG and nothing else.

Definitely would support this.

Black Ops had the best multiplayer in the series, in my opinion.

Agreed. Napalm Strike as I have mentioned before was the best killstreak reward I ever used as it could be used both offensively, defensively or to force the enemy to take the root right to where you are waiting.

Thnks 4 yr take.

:(

sorry brother. Damn quickscopers.

I read this online somewhere, and figured you might like to see.

:-\ no more flamethrowers as attachments.

Probably a sign the story in this one is more towards the 80s and early 90s since flamethrowers started to be used less after Vietnam.

I can't wait to goozex this except I most likely won't because goozex probably won't exsist by then

http://www.baytreecapital.com/images/goozex.jpg Baytree will purchase a majority interest in Goozex, Inc. (Goozex), the owner and operator of Goozex.com, one of the most active online communities of video game traders.

Over the coming months Goozex will be adding several new features to the platform to enable it to better compete with other players in the space including eBay, Amazon and Gamestop, the goal being to become the web's leading one stop shop for video gamers.


The web's leading one stop shop!

"Goozex's feature-rich platform enables users to find both new and used games, and to trade in old games"

I must have overlooked the part where you can get new games.

why is the website down right now?

Like everything I've read about Blops 2.

props on RCXD not returning.

Think Treyarch just knocked it out of the park.

Treyarch's CoD games are always better then IW's.

I wish they would make a mode where u have to collect the heads of the guys you frag and the guy with the most heads at the end of the round wins but you have to hide your heads on the map so someone else cant steal them.

That mode is in Halo, go play that. Also, go away.

We know you are gay for guys with tattoos.

Don't think I am going to by an IW made CoD game again, just play the Treyarch ones for two years at a time as they know what the hell they are doing.

MW3 is great, and if you don't think so maybe you should just go sell your copy.

The best thing about those changes to me is no more aim assist with sniper rifles. Begone, quickscoping faggots, begone.

MW3 is terrible compared to Black Ops. The only good things about MW3 is the killstreak system and the survival mode.

I am a little disappointed Infected won't be returning tho.

Any source on all that besides "the internet"?

I honestly am anxious to see the good quickscopers now. If you can do that without aim assist then goddamn, you are deserving of my respect.

It is, the only thing I can think of besides what you said is my favorite gun is in MW3. Then again, the PSG1 was pretty badass.

what

If they take aim assist out then there will be no need to quickscope-- haven't we been down this road?

There are likely going to be people who will still try it. Blops made an effort to hinder it, yet people still did it. Yes, aim assist still helped.

Id really like to see if any of them are good enough to do it without aim assist.

http://kalyxtriad.wordpress.com/

I am straight but whatever u prefer in your fantasie.

I wish COD would take Battlefield (Baddlefield) full on and make a game with larger maps and vehicles. Maybe even make a sea map with submarines and battleships.

Anything on Zombies? One of the things I love in the Treyarch franchise.

I was thinking about this today and I really enjoyed BlackOps. The only thing they are doing is making it better. Honestly excited.

No, there are likely going to be people who do not try it seeing as how the feature that made it possible for an instant lock-on kill is going to be completely taken out. Those who do try are idiots.


No it didn't.

Again, the point of quick-scoping is to get a moment of aiming where it's an instant, lock-on kill. If they took that feature out I don't see how someone who knows that feature has been taken out would try something like that.

If they do, then it's most likely an instance of just having fun and screwing around. No one would attempt a quickscope for an advantage if it has been taken out of the game.

This is all depending on if this information is true and what exactly the mechanics are of "No aim assist for any sniper rifle." Could still be something in the engine that makes the aiming lock on, or some other exploit. Could be telling the truth and they fixed it or it could be all bullshit. We'll have to see.

Of course. I am not seeing anything that isn't a possibility or outside the realm of one so in taking this at face value.

Blops had it where SoH didn't allow faster ADS in Sniper Rifles. That's what I meant as hinder. Not sure it did much though.

Lastly, the people who quickscoped before likely have a decent idea where the center of their screen is by now. Of course aim assist was the primary reason why people used it. Id like to see if they are skilled enough from doing it with aim assist to do it without.

head explodes

I didn't mind last stand so much in Blops, because if you put someone into last stand and someone else finished them off you still got credit for the kill.

That is irritating in MW3. Ill snipe and try to pump that second shot in someone but some bastard will steal it on me :mad:

I don't understand why IW didn't carry over that and the number of captures/defends on the domination scoreboard.

Might be related to the former IW bosses "hating" Treyarch and not wanting to use anything they've work on. Also really hated them for being able to modify an engine they said was impossible to do.

Same reason why no Zombies in MW games and their refusal to fix the multiplayer while Treyarch games had stuff hated from a MW game fixed up a bit for their games.

But in Blops someone in last stand can be revived

Only if they had the pro version. And honestly, people hate last stand enough, saw a handful of people get revived in Black Ops' entire run.

I did it when I could because it is retarded NOT to help your teammate.

Nah, fuck that, not reviving last stand tards in Domination.

I meant in TDM.

There was several matches we only won by a single kill, maybe two that would have been the opposite had I not taken the initiative not to let my teammate die.

I don't see why you wouldn't revive a team mate in any mode.

Seems silly.

People I wish to keep alive when playing Call of Duty

1) Myself
1A) Any people I know
2) Anyone else

In Domination, you helping could result in a Double Kill easily.

Kills don't win Domination, so it doesn't matter. I've done amazing in Domination games, easily doubling the next guy in points/kills and still been on the losing team because I'm the only one on my team capping and defending flags.

Kills don't win domination, but how does letting your teammate die and have to go through a respawn timer and likely run across the map, help your team at all?

That's retarded logic. Oh hey, my teammate is downed and we're trying to get to the objective.. so I'm just gonna let him die so he has to run all the way back here and take more time getting to the objective; not to mention, I'll run into battle with one less person there to help.

Edit: Actually, kills -do- win domination. Assuming your team is pushing toward an objective and not just -completely- retarded, the team that can outkill the other typically wins. Allowing your teammates to die because you're selfish and don't want to take the time to revive them, is stupid and makes no sense.

Kills get Killstreaks, Killstreaks cause problems. Best plan? Don't get killed or let others get killed.

The BL in Black Ops should stand for Brock Lesnar and the game should involve punching people in the face

:roll: Req, posting in a thread about a game series he hates, again.

9/10 times if someone capping a point with you has last stand, the guy that put him in last stand is gonna kill him. Or since I play ground war, 1 of the 50 grenades thrown at the flag is gonna kill him. And if he's helping me cap and I actually have a chance to, I'll revive him. But you can still cap in last stand, and I'd rather not be defenseless for those few seconds reviving him and we both die and don't get the flag.

But I'm not gonna go out of my way to revive the guy in last stand that's camping in a building or no where near any of the flags and is not capping or defending shit. My team getting the flags and keeping them is more important then the other team getting 1 kill.

My point stands tho, kills don't matter in Domination. I've seen youtube commentators have amazing k/d ratios in Domination, ones that I'd love to have in a TDM, but they lose the match.

Not sure I was gonna post this, but fuck it, first and only "req post" from me.

I notice you, more than anyone else, seem to bring that up as if 'me' posting something is somehow a magic shield that protects you from the stupidity of your own logic. Black Ops was my favorite of the CoD series. My complaints have been almost exclusively about EA and Infinity Ward. I didn't purchase MW3 as proof of my disdain for that series. Blops received a few complaints about features, but I feel the time I spent playing it was worth the money. Black Ops 2 actually has potential to be a decent game, if only because it is a Treyarch game.

With that pointless distraction out of the way... :roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::rol l::roll::roll::roll:

You obviously fail to understand basic FPS tactics. Minch pretty much said it already. I don't know why you wouldn't revive someone in -any- game mode. There is no con that outweights the many pros. Preventing killstreaks, respawn times, and distance from spawn to objectives. Not even accounting for how helpful it is to have a second person alive to help you, potentially get more kills, continue THEIR killstreak, or even be there to take a bullet instead of you in a time when it would really matter.

Also, want to add the most obvious thing ever here.

If you do it for him, you could be the guy with your back on the ground next time.

For the record this is a stupid argument, but hey, may as well point out why this is stupid.

The killstreak argument generally goes out the window though when you're talking about reviving someone. When if ever does someone get put in last stand and a team mate revives him before the attacker is dead? If anything the killstreak argument would work against what you're both saying, because when you try to revive someone there's a good chance you're both going to die if the attacker is still alive. Dead attacker = ended kill streak.

So that one thing negates everything else?

Killing the attacker is top priority.
Saving the person is second.

If you can't do the first, attempting the second is best.

Then you both die and in comes a PAVE LOW.

And Req, if you can SAFELY revive your team mate then yes, by all means do it, but just trying to save your team mate for the sake of him not dying is retarded and going to get you killed.

I love how we're discussing something that won't even be in the next game.

Yeah lol.

Accolades in MW3, I have 211 highest K/D ones. Out of 645 matches.

Roughly 1/3 games, I have the best K/D because I play to get kills but not get killed.

Why would you revive someone if the attacker is still alive?

If it's a sniper, ill leave tgeguy to die.

I'm not sure, but we were talking about reviving someone to stop their killstreak, which is why I was discussing that. If he's dead the whole killstreak argument is moot.

THERE'S A NEW COD!!!!!
 

New Call of Duty set for world reveal during NBA playoffs on May 1

Like Madden and Punxsutawney Phil, the annual reveal of a new Call of Duty game isn't what we'd call surprising. It is, however, quite a thrilling notion to many millions of people the world over, which is why we're here to tell you that, yes, another Call of Duty game is getting ready for its big reveal. According to a new countdown timer on Call of Duty's official website, said game will be revealed during the NBA playoffs on May 1 via TNT (apparently the station's "Drama, period" slogan also applies to sports playoffs).

Given the nature of the Call of Duty series, it's very likely that 2012 will see the launch of the next Treyarch-developed CoD title (2011's Modern Warfare 3 was a collaborative effort lead by Infinity Ward). And what might Treyarch be working on? Many (many) indications point to a sequel to 2010's immensely successful Black Ops, but we'll see for sure on May 1

Picture is a dead give away for Black Ops 2.

Galil, Ak, Gas Grenades and Napalm strike and I'm happy.

And the Stoner 63 and Commando.

Yes, loved the Stoner.

How many times are you going to buy this game?

I can't predict the future any better then you can.

So 5.

Alright, I will buy it five times in total.

Based on a couple of leaked images and a teaser by Activision, Black Ops 2 will end up being farther ahead in terms of timeline than the Modern Warfare series. Not completely futuristic but "near future" in terms of setting and weapons.
