Poll: Why are you buying Black Ops?

[RUINER ACTUAL]

No matter who makes the game, when the gameplay sees an actual fundamental changes, I may consider getting another CoD game, but considering MW2 plays just like CoD4 and WaW, there is no point in getting the newest game. I declared CoD dead to me in June. Infinity Ward (basiaclly) leaving was a big blow. Another big thing is less than one year of support before the next game comes out.

I think I'll wait for these games instead of the gaming cocaine that is CoD: Brink, Battlefield 3, and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.

Since it had the option, I will not be buying Black Ops, and I will tell you why.

I will not be buying Black Ops because Activision is publishing it, and the CEO of Activision is Robert "Bobby" Kotick. I do not wish to support that man with my money, even if it's only a paltry $60 compared to the million's he'll make off of everyone else. As a result, I am pretty much "boycotting" Activision, I guess you could say. I will not buy any of their products until either Kotick is removed or cleans up his act. This may result in me missing out on some great experiences, but that's my loss.

However, I do understand that other people are very excited for the game, a few of my friends included. I wish no ill towards you all for wanting to buy Black Ops, it genuinely looks like a nifty game. There is absolutely no reason why you guys shouldn't get the best bang for your buck.

And so, with this, I wish all of you who are purchasing Black Ops a good game. I, personally, will not be purchasing it for my own reasons and you will be purchasing it for your own, and that is perfectly fine. I'll probably play the game with my friend, split-screen and whatnot, or borrow it if he gets it for PS3.

Enjoy your game. I mean that in the most sincere way I can.

yes....hardened edition for in this order Zombies(including the 4 maps from WaW that come with the HE), campaign, multiplayer

 

[technoted]

I'm getting it because it looks like the kind of game that appeals to me, which for some reason is not an option.

 

[park92]

if i could play 50 players like in cod 4 i would but the pc version in this only has a max of 18 so no.

 

[MagicMouse]

If I buy it it will because alot of my friends are buying it and I want to play with them.

 

[jamradar]

I love RC cars.

 

[p3t3r]

1)all the shit that pissed me off about MW2
2)nazi zombies and i never did get the expansion ones so there will be 5 new maps for me since i'm getting the hardened
3)splitscreen online which is very very very good if you have a brother who wants to play just as much as you
4)just all around newness of it.
5) everyone will be playing it when it comes out

i might get it... first ill pirate it, if the story is over 5 hours xD (very hard these days) ill prob buy it... and defo if its over 8 hours then im sold been needing a good CoD MP game, and just cba with MW2 after i played MW1

 

[binvjoh]

I don't plan on buying it. At least not 'round launch.

 

[KingArmery]

the single player was wonderfully over the top yet plausible.

Yeah...wait, what? How was that at all plausible? I mean it was fun, but in no way plausible.

Plausible because given the right circumstances, it is possible. Very highly unlikely to obviously.

Your definition is incredibly vague. All you are saying is that anything under the "right circumstances" can be possible, which is to say nothing at all about the plausibility of the actual circumstances during the game's era. And if it is highly unlikely, then it is not plausible in the first place.

OT: I am not getting the game because I don't have Xbox Live, the story will likely fall flat, the campaign will be too short, and the whole thing is being over-hyped. It is not worth my $70.

 

[Yureina]

Not buying it. Yet another CoD game just does not interest me in the slightest.

 

[De-Moti]

Because Portal 2 isn't out yet.

 

[duchaked]

rental! cuz the campaign is short enough in most likelihood

 

[CNKFan]

I'm getting it because I'm pretty fly for a white guy. Also because the multiplayer looks nicley balanced and retooled and the single player looks fun and chaotic.

You know the fact that you are able to still say everyone else has fun with it and know even though you're gonna miss out makes me respect your personal boycott. Nicely done.

 

[WanderingFool]

I perfer it for the perks, mainly, the lack of commando. Plus I did like W@W MP, and was a little okay with MW2 MP... course that was killed right quick by perk mentioned above.

*Edit*

BTW, I pre-ordered it from Amazon for PC.

 

[jobobob]

Can I get an all of the above with number 7 repeated 3 times during the list?

 

[Vicarious Vangaurd]

Call of Duty is a lot like politics. Every once in awhile a new guy comes along promising not to suck and to bring about great change; it never happens. That's why I'm not buying it.

 

[darkfire613]

That RC car. I'm serious.
