Black Ops 2 thoughts on branching story campaign and strike force missions

[phereck]

In a very suprising move, Treyarch is actually putting considerable work into making the campaign different. Opinions?

Personally, I'm excited even if COD isn't a masterpiece, I still love it for being so over-the-top and giving it a branching story and side missions? god, take my money now!!!!!

Well, as of right now, I have a hard time seeing that. But, if they do show what this branching story pathis like, and its awesome, Dlack Ops 2 may very well be something to look forward to.

But, Im always interested in what they will do with multiplayer... particularly if they are going to fix the fucking knife.

As long as they don't fuck up Zombies and bring back customizable lens reticules, they have my money.

Can someone outline the Strike Force missions for me? I haven't had the time for reading many previews.

Branching story sounds cool, but I wonder if Treyarch will break the rule of Short COD Campaigns, and how these branching story missions will actually play out.

Calumon: Will there be guns and booms? :S

I'm not interested in the multiplayer, but this is why I like Treyarch; they actually seem to listen to their community, while Infinity Ward seem not to care.

Also, you missed the most important one:
RC-XD has been removed.
^Bane of my BO's life.

I never found the RC-XD to be that horrible..
I do hope napalm strike makes a return what a lovely killstreak that was.

Yeah they really do listen more, but i'm sure MW is more popular and sells better and i really don't know why. I didn't even bother picking up MW3.

Hell, the RC-XD was nothing to me. I was more annoyed with the Attack Dogs.

I think this sounds awesome. Makes me hyped to get this game.

Black Ops outsold MW2, so BO2 should outsell MW3. RC-XD's were the source of just under 50% of my KS deaths, Attack dogs just made me stop shooting and play defensively for a minute. Far better than the chopper gunner and AC130 of MW2, those were SoBs. And yeah, napalm strike was awesome.
