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.

    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
