Poll: Black Ops?

[Eggsnham]

It took me a while, but I finally realized MW2 was crap and sold it.

I mean, it was crap, but it was expensive crap that held my boredom ridden mind (even if the majority of the 100 some hours WAS just rage) for a while, so it deserved a dignified end I think.

Anyways, that being said; my initial reaction to Call of Duty: Black Ops was "No fucking way."

But that was before I saw any of the details present...

Crossbows.

Character Customization.

Weapon Customization.

Crossbows.

A system of currency will be implemented (let's hope there's none of that buying fake currency with real money nonsense)

Ballistic knives (though, that may be a bad thing).

Zombie modes.

Crossbows.

"Wager" game modes, where you bet your money on being a player in the top 3 in the end game scoreboard look pretty cool.

Crossbows.

Crossbows!

[HEADING=3]CROSSBOWS!![/HEADING]

*Ahem* Enough about the crossbows new features. I think the game might be half decent, or even good if the multitude of problems from Mewtwo are cleaned up and Activision doesn't pull that Pay to play nonsense they've been talking about.

Of course, this is Treyarch; a completely different company and they've had a while to learn from Infinity Ward's mistakes to make Black Ops playable. Playable without having to punch walls that is.

SOUNDS FUN but i'd have to rent it before i bought it if' the rent was any good sides may not be as popular with the GT 5 machine is looming over this game or it could just be a bunch of dust settling and in the end nobody wins note that ive played and platnumed both waw and mod2 and your absoulutly right ! when you say mod2 is garbege(thank god it had no multiplayer throphys ) at least waw had zombies and dismemberment >.>

 

[Funkiest Monkey]

Yeah, I will totally get this. Looks so much better than Modern Warfare 2.

 

[Sephychu]

Sounds like a fix'd version of Call of Duty: World at War.
New Zombies sounds great, and it sounds like the right balance of serious and big guns.

Like you say, Crossbows, man.

 

[The Procrastinated End]

Looks like it will be fun and to add to my motivation, I don't even have to buy it because my brother kinda gets obsessed with CoD games.

Well, you're close, I'm sixteen and spend a lot of time in my "gaming corner" which is in my room.

But other than that; I really think crossbows could have the potential to be awesome.

AC130s were pretty cool, and mowing down unarmed civilians was kinda good for setting the atmosphere; but other than that, I mean... Crossbows.

Damn.

After I got scammed into paying $60 for a beta quality game (MW2) I'm not touching Black Ops until I try it out at a friends house...
Extensively...
Because it also took awhile for me to realise that MW2 was crap...
I still play it. The only difference is that now I don't try to like it...
And you guys out there who say that you're quitting MW2 because you don't like it...
Nobody likes it! Pretty much the whole playerbase hates the damn game! They just can't stop playing!

That's actually a pretty good summary there.

I don't think anybody enjoys being shot in the face repeatedly by a camper with two shotguns either.

Character customization = Perks?

Weapon customization = Red dot sight etc.

Ballistic knives aKa Throwing knives

So they got a currency system in there, why? That and zombies are the only new things there? Considering MW2 was bad (according to many), paying 60eu for the same thing?

 

[SteakHeart]

It looks so freaking awesome. Although, I liked MW2, but this looks even better.

 

[C95J]

love all of the call of duty series so Black Ops is obviously a big yes for me.

 

[Dango]

Why is there no "moderate yes" option?

 

[latenightapplepie]

No bloody way.

Maybe, I'm being cynical and not doing enough research for myself, but I'm going to go ahead and assume that Treyarch is not going to mess with the formula that made Modern Warfare 2 sell so well. A formula that I didn't like one bit.

 

[Eggsnham]

Why is there no "moderate yes" option?

There doesn't really need to be.

If you want moderate yes, just state in your post that it's a moderate yes.

 

[Deathsong17]

I always prefered WAW to COD4, and I've had strong expectations for this game the moment it was announced. Treyarch's first COD game was s blind stab at a franchise they knew nothing of, WAW was comparable in merits to IW's then current installment and should they continue this curve, they can only do well.

In short, Hell Yes!

[small]Besides, my brother would buy it anyway.[/small]

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Meh, I'll probably buy it for the story and the Zombies. I've always hated the Multiplayer.

 

[Eggsnham]

Character customization = Perks? No, like clothes and armor etc.

Weapon customization = Red dot sight etc. Yes. And more. Like weapon decals, aesthetic attachments such as straps, decals, stickers, engravings etc., and I think there's the ability to equip more than one attachment this time around.

Ballistic knives aKa Throwing knives. Sorta, except they fire straight instead of at an arc, and they don't go very far I think. Also, they're not accurate from what I've seen.

So they got a currency system in there, why? To buy customization items for your character and weapons. I think obtaining weapon are also currency based now, as opposed to having to rank up for them.

That and zombies are the only new things there? Considering MW2 was bad (according to many), paying 60eu for the same thing? No, there's new story, new weapons, new multiplayer modes and multiplayer is different in general.

All in all, if the game goes according to plan, it should be pretty cool. That is assuming they don't mess it up with balancing issues, lag issues, inadvertently encouraging camping etc.

 

[masseyguy911]

Well after the disappointment that was MW2, I think I'm going to rent this one first...

 

[SilentBobsThoughts]

Really man Crossbows, that is your favorite feature in the Black Ops game.
You sound like a 18 year old boy who still lives in your mothers basement.
How can a game that features such childish toys as a f**king crossbow be considered 'real' or 'cool'.
Get that f**king weak-ass crossbow shit out of your head if you think that will make Black Ops a good game.
Just think for a minute that the original Modern Warfare titles featured Ghille suited snipers, AC-130's, and an Airport Massacre which made headlines in several media outlets.
Now you bring up the most mudane aspect of a game which just a rehash of two other games created by a developer who isn't really all that good in the first place.
I'll give Black-Ops a chance though because some features like the Hind Helicopter, Weapon Customization, and Character customization could work. It also features a mission where you are crawling around a dark cave in Vietnam and your partner gets stabbed directly in front of you. Those are the real reasons to be interested in this game.

Cool story bro, but was there any need to flame him? Seriously, taking a shot at someone just cos they like crossbows.. Wow, Ghille suits.. SO much more awesome *Facepalm*

 

[DustyDrB]

Well the only that could possibly get me to buy this is if it has crossbows...
Anyone heard anything about that?
