Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

Onkel Neal · 11-13-12, 08:46 AM

Besides the awesome commercial that I've watched 20 times and enjoyed each time, the game is released today. If anything could move me to get an X-box, this is it.

Just how BIG is Black Ops 2?

Et tu, Neal?

The only good thing about this game is the marketing
the game itself is a recycled joke that has been going on since CoD4

Fool me once, shame on Activision. Fool me four times in a row, shame on me.

I do hope Neal hasn't rushed out to buy an Xbox.

If the forum skin from the April fools last year suddenly reappears then you'll know what happened.

Some purchasers have discovered that the second disc of their brand new foreigner-killing game was a copy of Mass Effect 2, that 2010 guns’n'conversation title from Activision’s arch-rival EA. Conversation in the best-selling game of guns? Scandalous!

Call of Duty.

Helping racists, biggots, sexist's, 8 year olds and the mentally ill find a common cause. By giving them an imaginary extension to their penis.

To be fair, it looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than MW3, but that isn't very hard now is it...

I've actually asked my dad to buy it for me while he's in NYC. I figure if I don't have to pay for it personally, I won't feel too guilty

Oberon · 11-13-12, 07:39 PM

My opinion on the whole COD series is that they are nice singleplayer games, the whole atmosphere in MW3 with the invasion of New York, the attack on the Oscar II, very nice. With MW2 you have the nuclear explosion in space, and some very cinematic scenes. It may be on rails somewhat, but then again so are most FPSs and at least there is some attempt at realistic modelling of units, even if their deployment (an Oscar II that close to shore?) is perhaps a bit suspect (suddenly, Russians, thousands of them).

Multiplayer is...well, it's the Mos Eisley of the online FPS world. So probably best avoided, but I'll say this for the makers of COD, they can tell a story, and tell it cinematically, and make Michael Bay jealous. It's not going to win any Oscars or literature prizes, but it sure looks good.

Now if only they'd do one for a Cold War gone hot in West Germany...wouldn't be a particularly long game though, four days of retreating followed by nuclear apocalypse.

Nothing personal Neal, CoD just became a bit of a running joke on the internet, for annual sequels which just offer more of the same and a rather short single-player.

Red October1984 · 11-13-12, 07:46 PM

This game actually looked like they got the campaign right. I won't buy it just yet. Chances are I'll borrow it and then decide for myself if I really want it. Did they release a demo?
