UPDATE: Activision (Allegedly) Livid About Black Ops 2 Reveal
- Thread starter vansau
- Start date
And so Bobby Kotick strikes again.
Is there any chance a positive outcome can come from this? Who am I kidding this is Activision we are talking about, the only positive about them is Kotick being fired(hopefully).

-.-
what do they have to be 'livid' about again? any gamer with a functional brain already knew there was going to be another black ops
also, how is 'black ops 2' news? for the aforementioned reason above, we kinda knew it was coming a while ago

It's Activision. Kotick can't survive without a tall glass of Hate[sup]TM[/sup] from the community each morning. They spread ill-will on their bagels, and gulp it down. It's their favorite form of jam.vansau said:
So much for saying goodbye to Black Ops, though.
Does this mean I get more zombies? That would be great, as I want to play as Sam without having to go through all that crazy work.
On topic: That seems like a bit of a poor choice in response Activision. Methinks you may soon be backtracking on this rather fast. Nice that we'll get more of Mason's story. Those e-mail files were raising a lot of questions, and until I see a body, I refuse to believe that a certain Russian is dead.

It's also a fantastic way of getting the story spread around even more. So not only dumb and unnecessary but also counter-productive to their own dumb and unnecessary goals.vansau said:

But anyways.....why does it deserve a sequel? The story of Black Ops I actually liked, more so than other CoD games, but it wraps everything up in a nice climactic "The Cold War is Over America Won" type way. Do they just need another setting for the latest CoD game and didn't want to do Modern Warfare 4 or another WW2 game? Man, these designers are the least innovative people ever. They would make good dairy farmers, considering how good they are at milking something for money.
Oh well, say what I want, but people will eat this shit up like they're starving kids in africa who haven't eaten in weeks.
Well, if they are losing money due to ill will, it's happening slowly. The Skylanders thing is a good example.Quantum Star said:
I work in electronics retail and every day we get about a hundred parents coming in asking for the toys, but we never get any and nobody else has any. Out of that hundred people we get one or two who say [paraphrased]"Fuck Activision and their thinly veiled attempt to increase demand on bullshit toys, I wont buy anything from them anymore". Sure it's only about one or two people a day, but given time and the number of stores world wide, who knows?
I'm not surprised that there will be another Call of Duty but another Black Ops?! Ok, it may have sold the best out of the entire Call of Duty series (I...still find that hard to believe considering how they say the same thing everytime a new one comes out) but wasn't there just a thread or, news something about Activision asking what they should make the next CoD about? It must have been a user thread and not an article because they wouldn't ask if they were getting ready to fart out a second Black Ops.
Meh its activision, id find the fact that they ARENT doing something stupid more shocking and facepalmable then this.
*Sigh*
Ok, Activision. Take a step back and think about this. You have a sequel-churning machine which will work for several years to come, a series of stories to draw on, and a fanbase who will only take this as a positive thing. (Albeit you also have a large group who aren't so impressed with the churn)
About the only surprising thing here is that it wasn't something more unusual than a straight sequel, and even that, well... it's sort of expected at this point. What exactly are you losing here, anyway? The choice of when to make your big entrance?
Just because you are a spoiled child of a company run by a spoiled child of a CEO doesn't mean you have to act like one.

Hmm...
Well EA has been leading the way for ass hole-dom recently. Activision needed some bad PR to catch up with EA and figured that being a douche-nozzle to a rumour report about the title of the next CoD would be good to even the playing field.
They succeeded.

SHOCK HORROR!
Another CoD game...who didn't see this one coming? I sure as hell didn't.
Jokes aside, Activison just want to be giant dicks, people don't like them so their mindset must be, 'No point in half assing it'.
I enjoyed BO, and Zombies is by far the best aspect of the CoD series. But I don't see it smashing MW3's records with all the Treyarch haters

Wasn't there going to be one called "Iron Wolf"?
Well either way here goes my vain hope that the new COD will be set in WW2 from a Axis point of view or failing that, have a single player campaign longer then a pizza break and where I can stay on my own two feet for more then 2 seconds.....

MW4 or BO2...
Did ANYONE need three guesses on the next game's title?
It's as much of a shock as Disney sequels being 'straight to dvd' releases.
