gaming Call of Duty: Black Ops II

[Twiliscael 3,960]

So I'm supposed to be convinced by "new" weapons that I've used before in other CODs and Battlefields? By these new mech things? By new killstreaks? No thanks. The improvements they made are very interesting but I still ain't convinced. The guns will end up just being re-skinned from Black Ops guns ( I bet half of them will have the EXACT same stats as some Black Ops guns), the mechs look poorly designed and MAY be even worse to counter-act than a chopper gunner from MW2, the enemies are just gonna be Russians again, and, to me, it looks exactly like Black Ops with new equipment.

 

*Sets up riot shield to block incoming hate*

 

And to everyone saying it's like COD mixed with Halo, it's not. It's an innovative idea. If anything, it's much more like Mass Effect (mechs and all) than it is Halo.

Actually, they're Chinese (At least for the future part of campaign. The 80's part is supposedly Central American terrorists/rebels/something like that, but I could be wrong for that part)

 

Also, to the Halo/CoD part, I agree. Halo is waaay in the future and has a ton of technology that BOII isn't even close to yet. Many people use this as a way to complain about BOII, since they think that....

 

A. It won't work

B. It doesn't feel like CoD at all anymore

C. It's ripping off Halo (This is the most ridiculous of the 3)

Oki doki loki, change in faction. That's a step forward, Chinese are a much more plausible enemy.

And people are just gonna complain about COD no matter what. They hate it for no good reason. I think my reasons are at least somewhat valid and COD just isn't really my kind of shooter. I prefer tacticality and objective-based gameplay. That's why I prefer games like Halo, Battlefield, and TF2. You just never seem to get a good team in COD :/

[spas-ticShotty 3,584]

This vid pretty much sums up the haters . Also, when I mean haters, I mean the people who nitpick at the small things and/or are just trying to find something wrong with the trailer instead of the good things . Funny thing is, the descriptions says "99.9% of the haters of BLOPS 2, will be playing it on day one. Believe It."

First off i'm not sure about the Chinese part that maybe, but for sure the main antagonist is a computer terrorist named Raul Mendez. and they are changing up the campaign so that what you do changes the outcome, and there are things called strike missions that you do every so often that are objective driven like capturing a point or moving items or things like that that you can succeed or fail in. it is also a diifernt style of play you can be "god mode" and be in a map cam and move lots of troops or become any single person or drone to fight for yourself. you can change back and forth during the mission as you see fit.

Forget everything I typed down, we got actual footage of Black Ops II! These 3 vids were posted buy a YouTuber named "teijbz", and it's all legit footage of BOII.

 

First one is sniping with an unscoped Ballista rifle

 

Second one is quickscoping (Dammit) with the DSR.50 (I can't figure out how to post this with that stupid media file limit, so just check the channel out for the 2nd clip

 

 

Last one is some more AR/SMG action, showing the SIG556, the SMR, MP7, the RC-XD killstreak, and the Hellstorm Missile

@,

Here are some more gameplay videos from Tejbz to you guys

it looks funny to me and I can't wait to see zombies

[spas-ticShotty 3,584]

I like how the Hunter-Killer is basically like an exploding paper airplane (But you know, it's not paper )

 

Hey, look what I found. It's almost an entire hour of BOII footage

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2uZckCnclk&feature=g-all-lik

 

Things seems good, 3 minutes in . Panic knifing is still here , but I noticed that there's no lunge, so I guess it's more similiar to BF3 where you had to get right up to the enemy for the knife

@,

 

i watched the first 5 minutes(ill watch the rest later)

 

its funny because its so different and yet so similar XD

 

once ive watched the whole thing ill give my complete thoughts

[Some_random_guy 1,857]

the new Call of Duty actually looks like it will be fun. I'm glad they are changing it cause most people seem to complain about buying the same game over and over again just re-skinned.

I do not get where people say it's like Halo though.

BOII is set in the near-future, but if there's a shooter in the future other than Halo, they think it's ripping it off (I'm not sure if people said the same for Tam Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier).

I hope to God they don't do penis emblems. They are the reason people don't like Custom Emblems and want to get rid of them. I really want to keep my Luna Emblem.

You can always report the emblem (Even though 3arc won't do anything )

 

I've seen a few Fluttershy emblems . Mine is the symbol for the Ph.D Flopper perk in Zombies

 

Hey look, some full-length footage. The guy in this vid isn't exactly the best player though . Still, I pretty good look at one of the maps. One thing I must note is I like the sound of the guns, plus I like that background music that plays

http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5hNZGeD8Cg&feature=channel&list=UL

 

I thought that this clip was a little more important to show than that sniper clip that I showed (Which I now took away). This is what Black Ops II's Create-a-Class 3.0 looks like . They also show all the Scorestreaks. One thing I must say, I love that background music

 

I should also note that list of weapons is incomplete, since the game is still in Alpha (I think that's what David Vonderhaar said), and there are still more weapons to be shown. For instance, the TAR-21 is not shown in that list, yet I saw footage of said gun with an ACOG on Cargo. Good to know one of mah favorite guns of all time returns . I also know the KSG-12 and the Vector K10 are in this game, so they could be also weapons that weren't shown in that list.

Not interested, the game just seems like the same to me

 

As much as I like to play shooters, I'm getting bored of them due to them being around so much in todays gaming market.

Call of Duty is the king of the FPS Genre now and...blech, I could care less. I'll stick to my Metroid Prime games thank you very much

Did you NOT pay attention to all the new info I post on this game?

 

You know what, forget that. I don't want to start anything, so let's just move on.

 

Anyways, lets show some footage of the M8A1 with that Target Finder sight.

Sorry xD soon as I saw the title I just went, "MUST RANT" I think the game looks fine, same with the others. I've played the games but they never really got me interested owo this one...looks alright, still not enough to get me to buy it but its at least a change

That explains everything. I feel like anyone who dislikes CoD and says "it still looks the same" will automatically go into "MUST RANT" mode, 'cause now, they're just trying to find more reasons to trash CoD's already infamous name, no matter how stupid the reason is -_-

dang taken down by activision i guess it was the live stream on the 15th august?

[XUNUSEDXXX 3,459]

im not sure if im really going to get it, mw3 and black ops dissapointed me. if i do get it, its probably just gonna be for zombies

[FALCON PUNCH 243]

 

 

Whoo vector 10K this sounds good.

And those wildcards sound a bit lie something that would come from pokemon.

Also I think that the adjustable stock may make you faster when closed but when opened makes you slower but slightly more accurate?

[spas-ticShotty 3,584]

So I just looked at some Black Ops II related stuff online, and I just saw a tweet by the community manager of Treyarch, David Vonderhaar, and this tweet SHOULD'VE happened a few games back, but then again, IW and Activi$ion are assholes

 

"There’s no Second Chance; there’s no Last Stand, there’s no Final Stand. There’s no combination whatsoever of perk or deathstreak that puts the guy in the “downed” state in multiplayer. It’s still used as the revival state in Zombies when you get downed. But it’s not in multiplayer — there is no perk and there are no deathstreaks, so there is no Final Stand or equivalent of it. Absolutely not. Please stop yelling at me."

 

THANK YOU, Vonderhaar! NOW we'll stop yelling at you! Us players have been wanting to hear this news for a long time, and after Robert Bowling's little cocktease last year when he said "Fuck you, Last Stand!", we couldn't wait any longer for this day to come

I don't think Activision have anything to do with the subject of perks since they don't make the games they just publish them. (correct me if I am wrong.)

 

But this is a good piece of news to hear since I hated those perks

that sucks, i rather liked last stand

 

 

and i still dont see why people hate grenade launchers, their purpose is to fire a grenade, which is an area kill weapon, at a group of targets to kill all of them at once

 

it seems that the only complaint people have is that they get killed by them

Last Stand was probably the worst perk in the history of CoD. Soooo goddamn annoying. I (And many other people) applaud Treyarch for finally taking out that piece of shit perk.

 

Also, the reason peple hate grenade launchers is how easy and replenishable they were in other CoD games, mostly MW2. Literally no skill was involved in using that thing in MW2. In MW3, they suck, but they still have some purpose, although they're pretty crappy. Whatever, good thing IW and 3arc nerfed them after MW2

I agree with you I never saw anything wrong with the grenade launcher but the point blank thing where it would just embed itself into you was not that great.
