DrunknMunky Veteran Posted May 3, 2010 Veteran Share Posted May 3, 2010 MW2 was definitely my last Call of Duty purchase and I will tell every person I know to keep far away from the Call of Duty franchise from here on out. It'll be hard to convince the new generation of kiddy gamers though, as CoD is a household name and it'll sell by the bucket-loads. What he said :yes: I hope it flops, big time.

neoadorable Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 this could actually be the best COD game ever if they get it right - new engine to distinguish it from the MW legacy, long single player campaign with only one character and more emotional involvement, even some actual cutscenes, MP that gives people two modes - incl. one true hardcore with no streaks (i know a lot of people don't like those), free maps in time for Xmas. The trailer has real promise, if they nail that paranoia/conspiracy 60s-80s mood with the cold war, large scale shadow government (don't mean ludicrous rogue general plots) and reactionary culture of those eras, then we're possibly looking at a gem. it could be Treyarch's coming out party. Yeah wishful thinking i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupcakes Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I've never been a big fan of Treyarch's COD releases.. I popped in WaW for about an hour and since then I haven't played.. But I just watched the new trailer for Black Ops and DAMN it looks pretty good! @ 1:02min in HELLO CROSSBOW w/ EXPLOSIVE TIPPED ARROWS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 My! Those 2D explosions look impressive! :/ Looks a damn sight better than World At War but that's not exactly setting the bar high though. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayepecks Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Looks rather good to me. I'll always prefer Infinity Ward's versions, but Treyarch did decent on World at War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcakes Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Looks rather good to me. I'll always prefer Infinity Ward's versions, but Treyarch did decent on World at War. They'll have a major one-up against IW with Black Ops. Given the drama that's ensued and of course the major disappointments with IW's decision for no dedicated servers, issues with MP right off the bat.. I think that Treyarch will really be able to get a good, strong multiplayer setup for this. WaW's MP was actually damn near perfect in terms of connectivity/lack of issues compared to CoD4/MW2. I also hope they plan on sticking with stats and making that available for everyone. That's one thing I did enjoy about them; Going above and beyond and providing stats for their players. That's one thing I've always loved about Bungie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boz Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I hope this game has a great story.. I think MW2 engine is really really good.. it can create some really cinematic moments but the story in MW2 was awfully rushed and so vague and pieced together. I hope Treyarch had the chance to learn from all the bugs, not worry about engine and actually make a kick ass story with some truly cinematic feel and they can do it, it's not as if they can't.. From debute trailer I'd say this game might actually be what MW2 should've been but in a Vietnam era.. which is not really that bad. I couldn't play another WWII game but Vietnam is ok I guess.. it's more modern compared to WWII and it has some good weapons. I'll be keeping my eye on this one. I liked World At War.. so I might actually like this one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman273 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 The Latest Call of Duty Explores The Bloody Birth of Special Forces It starts with two men in space helmets. They walk across an airfield and climb into a Lockheed SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft, also know as the Blackbird. The year is 1968. The mission is "This is WMD." The game: Call of Duty: Black Ops. Up on stage members of developer Treyarch are playing through a chunk of the upcoming shooter for us. The guy with the controller in his hand is in control of one of the men in the plane, using the aircraft's tech to watch over a team of men lying on the ground far, far below the high-altitude vehicle. He's using the right stick to command the squad. The view suddenly switches. Now we're watching gameplay on the ground, a team of men hiding in the snow of the Ural Mountains in the Soviet Union. It's once more the traditional first-person view. The team are hiding from a patrol. When they're spotted the player hops up and takes down one of the enemy using a high-powered crossbow equipped with a scope. The men make their way to a mountain ridge, rappelling down to stop just above the window of a sub-station of some sort. The team jump off and rappel in unison through the window. Everything goes slow-motion as they clear the room. The player switches the bolts on his crossbow, loading one equipped with an explosive tip. He shoots it into a tanker outside of the substation. The world explodes, alarms go off, men scramble out into the snow. The team takes the men down, moving to another relay station. They break into the room by shooting off the hinges of the door, clear the room, take out the station and move on. Outside a missile strike sets off an avalanche, pinning the men on a cliff. "I'm jumping, see you at the bottom," one of the soldiers shouts. The player runs and jumps. On stage the developer controls his freefall as the screen goes black. "The era and our focusing on Black Ops gave us a lot of freedom to create what we wanted to," says Mark Lamia, studio head of Treyarch. The screen lights up again. It is Feb. 2, 1968. Hue City, Vietnam. The U.S. military headquarters has fallen, the entire city is being overrun. In this mission, titled Slaughterhouse, the player has to get to the CIA offices in the overrun headquarters. The team rides into the burning city at night in helicopters. As it nears the roof of a building a rocket sends the copter into a spin. The player, clipped into the helicopter, goes flying out the side door and smashes through a window of the building. As he lays on the ground of the burning office floor, an enemy comes in and points his rifle at him. A teammate walks up behind the enemy and snaps his neck, using the dead man's rifle, still clutched in his loose fingers, to kill two more enemies before dropping the man's body on the ground. The developer's character equips a SPAS-12 shotgun loaded with an ammo called . Each shot sets a man on fire. He works his way through the room, fighting from destroyed office to destroyed office. Papers float in the air, over the player's radio a breaking voice cuts through the static saying that the North Vietnamese are rounding up civilians to execute them. Walking by a window you can see unarmed civilians being pushed into a courtyard. Enemies, perhaps North Vietnamese, open fire, killing all of them; men, women and children. The developer and his team work their way to a safe room, the plated door is blow away from the wall. Inside they find more enemies to kill. They get what they came for and work their way outside and through the city to a landing zone. Outside in the chaos of a burning city, scrambling from wreckage to pire, a heavily accented voice blasts from unseen speakers telling U.S. soldiers to give up, that this isn't their war. "We intend to deliver an intense single player experience," Lamia says. "We will also deliver cooperative and multiplayer." The cooperative play, he says, will support up to four players, two on a single television when it comes to the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on Nov. 9. There is also a version headed to the Wii. "Treyarch" Lamia says, "is committed to creating the very best game world we can with Black Ops." Source: Kotaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkBlade Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Man I hope multiplayer is decent at least...the single player looks pretty cool, but I'm mostly in it for the multiplayer. MW2 multi is starting to get on my nerves, and yet I'm still playing it every week since it came out lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
