Note, I have respect for, and appreciate Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. That’s why I enjoy all three consoles. But what I’m about to talk about must strike a cord with those who feel it. You know the proverb: ‘who feels it knows it’, or he who’s in the kitchen is the one who feels the heat. And tonight, as a PS3 owner, I’m in the kitchen, feeling not the heat, but instead a sense of abandonment.
The video on Black Ops 1 shows some separate rooms, assets, and other features which exist outside of the boundary of the game.
From DownSights: "Black Ops is not Black Ops without Nuketown. Following the tradition of releasing Nuketown for Black Ops games, the new Black Ops Cold War game also offers a revamped Nuketown called Nuketown '84.
Nuketown '84 has the same dimensions and map layout except for the aesthetics. The map's aesthetics have changed to fit the 80s theme, with destroyed buildings and graffiti-filled walls compared to a clean 50s suburban neighborhood seen in Black Ops 1."

Well I don't mind waiting for it.
I don't know anyone who would either buy a whole new console or switch versions for timed-DLC.
PS3 gamers will keep buying CoD for the PS3 and breaking records on PSN because COD is an established franchise on both consoles and has tons of fans.
lol I 100% agree, good article
(Think i'm going to boycott it aswell)
i think you dont understand the COD deal dont you. here let me tell you what the deal is:
Microsoft and Activision made a 3 year deal were microsoft gets timed exclusivity on Call of Duty DLC. that means, that microsoft gets Call of duty DLC first and gets exclusivity for it for about 1 month or 2, like MW2 DLC.
so you can still buy COD on PS3, just keep in mind you going to have to wait for COD DLC a little longer, like a month after microsoft gets it.
The author's incentive for buying a game is based on DLC and map packs, and he won't buy a game simply because he's not getting the same?
Also, does he know the map packs/DLC are *timed* exclusives for the 360? This means they release on the 360 first but really, a one month gap means nothing.
Finally, PS3 owners are getting both games - I don't see the point in stirring up a flame war just because 360 gets (snicker) DLC first. No, you should only avoid Black Ops if you're tired of Call of Duty. It's definitely more realistic than MW2 but I haven't seen much yet that indicates it's totally fresh and unique. The Hind gameplay looked nice, but as MW2 will tell us, such vehicle sections would be few and far between.
Then again, it IS GamesThirst (sorry, movements. Just couldn't resist).
Edit: Jesus, that's 3 headlines in less than 15 minutes. First he's getting Killzone 3 instead. Then he's asking why he should buy it. And now he says he'll boycott (as if that ever worked before).
Yeah it's a greasy move. The reality is, Microsoft needs to pull this kind of thing to keep their gamer base. Without incentives like these I'd expect many hardcore-CoDer's would eventually switch to the PS3.
At the end of the day, gamers own a PS3 for *PS3 games*. Just because I have to wait a month for DLC doesn't mean I'm tossing my PS3 with the likes of Killzone 3, MoH, Dead Space 2 and other PS3-lead titles.
There's just too much gaming to be missed by stickin' with the 360 due to timed-DLC.
