"MW2 was crap" *Goes to YouTube and watches videos of it all the time*

"MW2 was biggest rip off in history" *Buys MW2*

"MW2 is full of Hackers, don't buy it" *Tops Steam sales for months*

"i'll never buy an Activision game again" *Pre orders Black Ops*

It's only me this really happened?

Same here, but I was looking forward to MW2 last year. Then when I actually played it after a while it became crap and I said to myself I would never buy a CoD again. Now I am going to go and buy BO. :p

Oh yeah.. same here..

MW2 was disappointment but they really nailed the game mechanic.. but as always we were shafted by rush to get our money and the game was glitchy, unbalanced and so on..

Single player was fun but disappointing as the story was pretty much garbage. I loved every single COD game by IW prior to that one and MW2 didn't even come close to the nice and concise story COD4 had.

But I played it for a while.. then I stopped playing for a long time.. then I got back into it when they patched everything and released those DLCs at a lower price.. I had fun but then I started getting upset again with people being dipsticks and playing alone, camping and not carrying about the objectives and I had enough and I traded it in.

The reason why I already paid Black Ops in full is because i have much more faith in Treyarch and that they will make a great game.. This is MW2 but the way it should have been and so much more.. What's admirable about Treyarch is that they really listen.. they follow the community, and with every release of COD they were getting better..

COD3 was mediocre.. but they tried bringing something new with those quick time events and stuff.. it didn't work..

Then they listened, learned from their mistakes and release World At War.. which was the best World War II shooter ever.. it had some parts of the campaign that kind of lagged a bit but overall it was unbelievable and instead of creating some useless things in the singleplayer they really did something difference and pretty awesome with the Zombies.

Now, I have absolutely no doubt they will prove themselves and give us a terrific single player experience and by the look of it pretty awesome MP because again they listened to the community a lot. Wager matches is one of those things you wonder why nobody really did them before.. putting a bet on yourself and getting rewarded with points and stuff is pretty awesome and that's just one of the things from new MP.

If by any chance, everything we have seen, turns out to be montaged and BS and the game sucks (highly doubt it), I will probably be done with Call of Duty series permanently.

Videos 7 through 14 still work. :p

Indeed. Still working for me as well.

The maps certainly look encouraging. Apart from Villa (and a little bit in WMD), it looks like Treyarch has done away with that awful grungy look that every World at War map seemed to have (yes I realize that those maps were based in WWII, and no that's not a valid excuse). Havana looks like it will be right up my alley, since I tend to like urban maps the most. Jungle looks like it will be sniper heavy (it reminds me of Estate from MW2 based on appearance alone), so it's probably not for me personally. That said, it is definitely easy on the eyes. As for Nuketown, that is definitely an interesting idea. I'll be curious to see how it plays out. If nothing else, I like the little mannequins, apart from the fact that they don't fall over :).

If you told me six months ago that I would be anticipating the release of Black Ops, I would have told you that you're crazy. But now I have it in my Google Calendar, and I intend on giving it a good amount of attention during my four day weekend.

Thanks for uploading those, Sethos :).

Someone on the Gaf asked me to show off the FAL and the PSG1, so might as well share the video here as well - While it's up ...

A revolver with an ACOG? LOL

That's even funnier than using Barrett with ACOG and Double Tap in CoD4. :p

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
