Well my take is on it from playing a bit too much MW2 and the reasons I've pre-orderd Black Ops:

Servers! I will NEVER buy another FPS game that doesn't have dedicated server support. There is no community, no choice of maps, no mods which makes it very bland. :s

Hacks. I see this farrrr too often in MW2 (maybe one out of every 10 games) :( It ruins the whole game and there is nothing you can do as there is no admin to kick them.

Snipers with M18's. Grr, I think I can only hope that sniping is made tougher. I would prefer a more close combat style of gameplay as its suits the arcade theme of the game.

To be honest I'd willing to pay for the same damned game if I get these points fixed...

Which is re-badged from CoD 4

Which is a rebadged COD.

Battlefield 3 will finally finish off CoD. It's too arcadey and for those that can't really aim.

Doubtful. Black Ops is going to sell like gang busters. Probably even better than MW2 I suspect.

Exactly why I like it.

Sometimes I just want to have fun, running around shooting in ten minute rounds.

I've got BC2 for something more serious.

BC2? if you want serious, don't play BC2. More like ARMA, Operation Flashpoint, America's Army and borderline Ghost Recon titles are the best ones out this gen.

America's Army really is one of the more serious titles I have played in terms of FPS. I remember playing that back when it was released.

/off topic. :p

As a former PC-only gamer, I gotta say that I'm glad I have an Xbox 360. I used to dislike console gaming because of how cumbersome it felt to aim with a controller (over a mouse). And now I'm fully "adjusted" to console gaming so bring on Call of Duty: Black Ops, Halo Reach, and Gears of War 3.

Well we already know that there is a huge emphasis on customization of character and weapons using a pattern or emblem editor, as well as a video recorder/editor. Also, if you read what I posted, it talks about how players will earn money to buy items as well as wager on unique game types. Also BOTS confirmed.

I love how they introduce BOTS in MP Maps, solo or co-op and then Gun Game. Em HELLO COUNTER STRIKE?

Way to rip off another game/company and come out as "oh it was our idea". bull****. I love there explanation for Gun Game.

Kotaku had an article right away with modes and all that and im like really? Bots, Gun Game, come on, DO SOMETHING MORE CREATIVE.

EDIT:

Ok the new Wager Trailer, gotta give it some Credit.

Wager + One in the Chamber ='s MY KIND OF A GAME. Lets see bitches miss and knife me. I ****ing love knifing. Now a days anyone runs from a knife and dives and all this stupid ****. Happens in MW, happens in BF2, happens in BC2.

Essentially all the perks and kill streaks are copied directly from MW2. When it comes down to it, it doesn't look like the game play isn't going to change at all from MW2.

The only redeeming part is that kill streak rewards do not build on kill streaks. That's not confirmed yet though.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Pretty sure you will be happy with the result, good luck and take it slow!
    • Mixed thoughts. I do think MS realized it need's to re-focus on it's core while trying to get people to ultimate pay for AI. My windows machines is my gaming tower. That being said a windows machine I used as a server was just recently converted to no GUI Linux server (and it runs so much better for it's purpse), and general purpose laptop (non-gaming) that could run Windows 11 is using Linux. My work device is a MacBook Pro, and I have a raspberry PI acting as my DNS server, using linux. I honestly have more non-windows devices then devices. I don't consider myself typical user however.  
    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
    • At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.
