Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Launch Info Leaks Early

[Mausenheimmer]

Write it down on your calendars, folks. May 1st, 2012 was the day that Call of Duty officially ran out of ideas.

Sweet, and hopefully the maps will be a lot bigger, at least bigger than MW3's it really put me off playing it because I can't just relax near the back of my teams lines and pick people off when I don't feel like running around at full speed. Treyarch's Sniper nerf was a hell of a lot better than IW's considering the past two games.

Awww yeah! Call of Doody: Black Ops Deux!!!

I haven't bought a Call of Duty since Modern Warfare 1, but each time a new one is announced I think to myself "That actually looks really cool!" But then I see gameplay and immediately lose interest. However, this one's setting in the future does open some new avenues for innovation (maybe?).

 

[CardinalPiggles]

Oh my god what is this...

Well Halo 4 is trying to be more like CoD, so CoD is trying to be more like Halo I guess.

 

[GangstaPony]

Metal Gear Solid 4 is that you? Nanomachines GO!

 

[Dr. Dice Lord]

I'd hope this will be the dying breath for the COD series, but my doctor said blind optimism isn't healthy.

 

[SovietSecrets]

I love reading the hate on threads about CoD. They fill my day with laughter.

 

[esperandote]

Will it have splitscreen with cpu enemies? Will it have zombies mode?

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

I'm going to say that the images are fake. Otherwise, I don't want to live on this planet any more. Seriously, it looks worse than the last one, but now with mini-death-helicopters that probably explode and stuff.

So black ops 2 is post-modern warfare?

Kinda like Modern Warfare was really.

Colour me disinterested until the price drops waaaay low. Only just bothered to get MW3, and it's a hell of alot better than the mess that Black Ops was, Survival is great, the multiplayer is (shock/horror) actually functional; I'm yet to be stabbed from 50 feet away thanks to lag and yet to be die from a gunshot that went about 6 feet to the left of my foot hitting me straight in the face 30 seconds later.

OT: I bet it has a WW2 flashback, I call a WW2 flashback. It's like Treyarch just can't let it go.

It's actually uninterested. Disinterest is what people (read hipster sheep) eschew when they talk shit about CoD even though it's not actually a bad game. It's just an average game you see every year.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Yes, "leaked". They could say what it is and call it an announcement as this is hardly a leak of something shocking new information. Let me know when they stop making spin offs to CoD 4.

 

[WanderingFool]

Ah, so I have 6 months left of playing a current Call of Duty game. Good to know.

Your still playing MW3?

Im still playing Black Ops (wonder if I should start calling it Black Ops 1 now...)

MW3 may have made some improvments, but it really lacked in others. (still love my Scar-L w/ Hybrid sight/ Extended mags though.)

Im slightly intreged however by the first screenshot. Thats doesnt look like any gun Ive seen before... Yes, im more interested in the gun seen in the screenshots than there being a new COD...

 

[DugMachine]

*yawn* I'll give it a try and get bored of it in a month like all the other COD games. At least its Black Ops though. Probably my favorite of all the COD multiplayer shoot em up fests

I think this might have happened far, far earlier.

 

[Random Fella]

What if, what if they took more than a year to make a game, and actually made it good?

 

[Jaeke]

It started with World War 2... continued on to World War 2... and stayed in World War 2 for a long ass time.
Then it went to Modern Age, and destroyed what was once a golden age of FPS's,

Now its going into the future... I don't even want to know the reprocussions.

Then again...why am I still giving a damn...

Call of Duty 2 my pony-partisan friend.

Oh sorry. You're right. It's not a terrible game.

Hell its not even a game at all

Pretty sure both are completely acceptable.

I do hope you weren't accusing me of being some kind of COD-hating hipster. I do like COD and enjoy it, I merely had alot of problems with Black Ops and found it to be subpar. I encounted some rather horrible lag and hit detection issues in Black Ops which I'm yet to encounter in Modern Warfare 3 and didn't suffer from in Modern Warfare 2.

Overall I like Call of Duty, it is what it is: a somewhat mindless action game with lots of explosions and big set pieces, it does what it does well and is very enjoyable.
