Well if they made Tricky Dick (who is ironically one of my favorite presidents in spite of everything) playable it would be pretty awesome. Especially if they zombified his dog.Tom Phoenix said:
All talk about this easter egg's possible existance aside, I will remind everyone that as the 11th hour approaches that this product is the next big deal from Activision. No matter how awesome they make the game seem, consider that by buying it your effectively giving a pass to Activision, Bobby Kotick, and how they have been treating us consumers, as well as how they treated the guys who did the last "Modern Warfare" game.
Also, I'm not sure if the Kennedy clan would freak out about this (if it is true) largely because everything else aside, JFK *WAS* a war hero, they even made a song about it. As long as neither he or any of the othr characters involved (including Nixon despite left wing sentiments about him) are treated badly, I can't see there being much of an issue.
As it's a Zombie Outbreak the overall scenario is not political except in a historical context where the leaders might have been meeting during a real crisis. I don't even think Castro/Cuba would be upset, because I've heard a few times that Castro has a sense of humor, and for a while used to sign baseballs for tourists due to his minor league career (or so I've heard). Allegedly he stopped doing that though because he was using body doubles to hide and was concerned that the CIA could use the handwriting from his autographs to track him down and figure out which was which. On the conspiricy end of things there is a fairly reasonable (but by no means proven or true) theory that the CIA killed Castro and a number of his body doubles, but another one keeps stepping up to take his place since he was hiding so well that nobody knew (and this was all planned ahead of time) and that's the reason he doesn't do the autographs and stuff much anymore (again coming down to handwriting analysis).
At any rate, I'm rambling and getting increasingly off subject. The bottom line is that as this is descrbed I don't think anyone involved would get upset about it.
yeah but by and large its filled with awesome games/DLC add ons, so who gives a shit? Not me cause I don't care about the 'bandwagon' I focus on the content as it comes wether its an extra in a game, a whole game, or an add on for a game I own.Akalabeth said:
Well, damn. See, things like this make me laugh and genuinely want to support the developer in question. Treyarch is good at that kind of stuff, they still have somewhat of a creative spark still in their design department. And yet, you're RIGHT. I can't buy this game because it WILL give Activision, and by extension, Kotick, the gratification that no matter what he says, no matter what he does, I will be a sheep and buy the game regardless.Therumancer said:
In this case though, my morality has to win. Thank's for the reminder that we need to shaft him somewhere and somehow.
No, the Kennedy's have always seemed fairly cool. Plus, it's hard not to love a zombie-killing JFK.Tom Phoenix said:
And there's four characters there.
Player 1's JFK.
Zombie mode on World at War was 1-4 players. This is zombie survival mode on Blackops. one level is the Pentagon. And this was singleplayer.
Kennedy's face is in the incredible launch trailer, so that makes it even more likely to be real.
If it is, this is the funniest idea I've heard in ages, and I'll play this bastard to death.
