You guys are jokers. Every year it's the same "I'm never buying another CoD game" crap and now look at this, everyone's getting the newest one :rolleyes:

I won't be getting it unless it's given to me for Christmas or something. This Call of Duty looks incredibly bland. In fact, the series has been entirely downhill since the first Modern Warfare, IMO, and I'll more than bet Black Ops continues the trend.

I'll also bet that Activision ruins the entire military FPS genre like they did the skating/X-Games genre and the music games genre with their oversaturation. Unless EA can actually challenge them with the next Medal of Honor game (or Respawn's first game, if it is military-based) and get a healthy competition going, I'd bet quite a bit of money the market for these types of games goes to crap within 3 years.

Apart from the over powered shotguns in MW2,(which they patched) what was the issue with akimbo?

People whinge about these games far too much.

Indeed. Funny thing is, I haven't been killed by Akimbo-anything in MW2 for ages now, it's NOT effective. You gimp yourself severely and is only used for the laugh-factor - People are just blowing things out of proportion.

Of course I hope we don't get pre-1887 nerf conditions, that was unbearable but I'm 100% sure Treyarch got it covered.

Halo invented everything.

Halo is like that awesome underground indie band that created every musical masterpiece known to man. Then people started copying it, because it was, like, so totally original. Halo is just so cult and hardcore. You wish you could be like Halo.

:woot:

Thank god someone has common sense. I fully agree. If I get this game giving to me I'm playing only one thing, that's one in a chamber since im a cqb-holic. Other that no thanks. I can play css if I want gungame and etc.

Really hope respawn brings something completely new to the table. They did great with CoD now something even better that brothering companies can't steal(*cough* treyarch*cough*).

Don't see this touching my PC at all since cod is primarily PC for me. Xbox maybe if friends end up buying it.

Some people actually stick to what they say @what.

@Munky: lmao that would explain your 3 MacBooks and 1 hackintosh haha

Are we forgetting this rule?

Anyway, there's a handful of unofficial gameplay videos on YouTube.

I heard whispers of supermarket deals today and the hypes already ticking over in my head. I just can't deny a good gaming deal laugh.gif It's going to be madness again at launch.

The new meme should be the COD cycle instead of the used and beaten Sonic cycle.

Share the whispers.

I reckon It will be between Asda and Sainsburys this year.

Although Morrisons was excellent last year, they announced their price so late that most people had gone to Sainsburys. :laugh:

So, just gone live for Pre-purchase on Steam. And it's ?10 more expensive than pre-ordering from Game online. So I know where I'm getting it from then. :p

I'll check in my local store tomorrow, if it's ?40 there I'll order from the website, where it's ?30.

I'm not going down that cycle, personally. If they want my next purchase, they need to start trying to move the franchise forward.

I've updated the first post a bit, though the title needs changing and a mod approval but they don't seem to be responding to me...

But yeah, I would be surprised if Sainsbury's didn't do another offer on Black Ops.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops leaks, pirated, Activision gives chase

According to a report on respected tech site VentureBeat, illegal traders have begun selling pirated copies of the game online in the US.

As you may expect, Activision isn't standing for it. According to writer Dean Takahashi, the publisher has hired private investigators to quell the spread of pirated versions of the game.

These PIs are killing the pirate trade "with kindness" according to VB - via 'good-cop' tactics.

It reports: "The investigators are... approaching the pirates and telling them to please stop selling illegal copies of the game."

One 'customer' that bought a copy of the game online has told his tale on YouTube. 'Computer Healer' was tracked down by Activision's PI team, he claims - who he describes as "polite".

You can watch the first part of his testimony below (be warned, it contains swearing).

He says: "I never made a copy of the game. I never said I was going to leak this game... The best game I ever played... I wouldn't have sold the f****** for a million dollars."

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
