>>149861724 No, everybody's mad because it'll be the same shit, at the same price and it'll sell like hotcakes and people will praise it as being a remarkable game.
I thought we were all laughing at them saying they were doing something revolutionary when in reality it's been in the vidya since fucking text adventures?
THIS JUST IN: DEVELOPERS TRAVEL BACK IN TIME TO MAKE GAME THAT'S ONE OF THE FIRST INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES WHERE YOU MAKE DECISIONS THAT AFFECTS THE GAME'S OUTCOME!
>>149862101 >>149862283 Not him, but you shouldn't hate the COD fans; hate the retarded suits and CEOs destroying existent franchises because they don't understand how the industry works.
I've always thought the fact that there is an entire industry revolving around being paid to give your personal opinion about things is fucking ludicrous. Reviewers/Critics are some of the most useless oxygen thieves on the planet.
>>149862510 NO, hate the fans because they keep on buying this shit. People buy Call of Duty in droves and guess what the developers and corporate fatcats think:
>People like this game >holy shit lets make more so that we can haves LOADSAMONEY >SHUT YOUR MOUF
>>149862851 >Mr Burns (insert The Simpson's gag here) says that the game's developer, Treyarch, is bringing a new mechanic to gamers that will add weight to their decisions in Black Op 2's narrative. >New Mechanic >New >Mechanic >To gamers
>/v/ scoffs at the idea of story in a cod game >the game turns out to be a real tear jerker and hits home emotionally >it's well written with characters you can identify with, root for and feel great when they come out better than they were when they started out
>>149864616 >Black Ops 2 sells billions >people praise the branching story like the next coming of Jesus >everybody continues to copy CoD and start adding choices to all games >creativity is reintroduced to video games >a new golden age of vidya begins And that's the story of how Call of Duty both murdered and saved video games. [1]
heck it's call of duty. Instead of that tag line they could have put a knock knock joke and I doubt it'd put a dent in sales or rep. They could have put anything.
hey it's got 8 player zombies now which is pretty neat. Just hope they bring back dead ops.
I never got what all the COD hate in /v/ was all about... Its like fedoras for /fa/,you guys hate it just because its "mainstream".
I gave the game a chance once i bought a ps3 back 3 months ago(pc masterrace).Sure im not crazy about MWF3 and i DID NOT play the storymode but the multiplayer is solid and can be fun as hell when you are racking up kills.
So whats up /v/... why the hate?Its just a product doing what its supposed to do and doing it damn fine.The matches are acessible,easy to join and quick to start so you could be in and out of games quickly.Leveling system makes you feel like you are moving forward.
>>149865119 I think Blops 2 will perform under what MW 3 and Blops did, people started getting bored of the series when Blops came out, and MW 3 seemed to be close to Blops in performance.
Personally I'm checking out Blops because i skipped over playing 3 and have only borrowed the ones since 4 to go through the story. Hopefully the online in 2's fun, starting with MW 2 the online seemed reliant on camping instead of playing, too many bonus deployments/perks.
I don't understand the irrational hate, from a consumer stand point this is an amazing thing for a shitty developer that is known to jew people and give the bare minimum.
>>149865435 >I never got what all the COD hate in /v/ was all about... Its like fedoras for /fa/,you guys hate it just because its "mainstream". Is that because you've never spent the time to read any criticism, or because you're a shitty troll?
If it's the former it's because of the influence CoD has on the industry. Everyone wants to be like them so they dumb down their series to "try and appeal to a wider audience" which only makes them sell worse and put good IP's out of action.
I'll probably end up buying it, I enjoyed WAW and other Treyarch games.
Sadly MW3 was a mistake and wasn't what i expected, they could at least get or buy a new engine with all the money they have racked in and try something new and change the way of gaming and visuals just like when COD4 released.
you are LITERALLY killing gaming if u DONT buy cod black ops 2! black ops 2 will revolutionize gaming as we know it today and will be the best fps game in the whole entire world. btw if u dont pre-order black ops 2 u are worse than hitler
False. Every company wants to have their products sell well.
>so they dumb down their series to "try and appeal to a wider audience"
not everybody has been playing games for a decade or so, some people have to start somewhere. and every company wants to appeal to a large an audience as they can. They obviously want as many people to play and enjoy their product. It's part of being a business and a company and heck being part of a creative team that wants to show other people their idea.
they just don't need to say "we want to appeal to a wider audience"
>>149865435 You can't say anything good about the game other than ''it's fun because I am racking up kills''? That's the problem. The games are shit and the only selling point is that it tricks you into believing you are a hardcore gaymer who is good at video games. Any player can come into the game and suddenly dominate everybody and feel good about himself. It's the ultimate casual game for casual gaymers such as yourself.

>>149865435 Because leveling in a multiplayer fps is a terrible idea that cod didn't even invent. The level design is terrible with reused assets and an awful spawning system, all the guns and gun sounds are reskins and recycled assets, the game looks like a blurry turd, the singleplayer is whack a mole with a poorly written story blanketed over it spiced with forced controversy, the fanbase is basically where kids go to learn to be complete fuckheads.
>>149865932 the way I look at cod is one of two ways. One is you're not actually a soldier, but a figurine and everybody is being controled by a giant child and it's all taking place in a the imagination of kids on the playground.
2nd (and my favorite) Super Smash brothers the FPS.
It's fast, it's chaotic and often times makes for hilarious moments when playing with friends and others.
>>149866002 why would they need to re-record gun sounds?
besides I can understand the reskin guns thing. not like you can make completely different guns from all the other ones. They pretty much painted themselves into the corner with that one.
But mw2 did give us the riot shield and treyarch gave us the crossbow and bowie knife. There's a lot more than just guns in the game.
>>149866071 Nice excuse to playing a bad generic FPS with horrible game design made for casuals. >tehe, I am killing the gaming industry, but it's fun because ;)
How can CoD fail now? Let's see... >someone makes the same shit with superior graphics and some edgy shit for the kids >they fail in transitioning to the next gen of consoles >halo goes multi-platform >Bungie's new FPS rapes its asshole on all platforms That's just about it.
>>149867192 Next one is going to be even worse and if you think otherwise you are a cunt faggot. The next generation is going to be nothing but free2play play2win MOBAS made for people so casual even the MOBA crowd finds them too casual.
>>149864736 the problem is, even if that were the case, you can bet your life savings on the next iteration sucking donkey dick, because they want more audience. there will be less story and more BOOM, because there will be articles all over the internet "praising the cinematic experience". and what do action movies do? explode
>>149860982 they should talk to molyneux about it, he's an expert on these types of game mechanics you know!
I'm sure it will make for a fine game and we'll all enjoy it having much fun and being seriously competitive whilst shrugging off all repurposed textures, animations, and other various gameplay mechanics and damning all other cods for not being as ingenious or original as they are the scourge of the industry especially all IW cod, because we were all born in the late 90's and what the fuck is IW anyway.
