Too white, it'll hurt my eyes on my 50" screen, but then again, CoD died for me after CoD4.

Battlefield and Killzone all the way.

gatormatt804449d ago

Well if this gets taken down by Activision for copyright reasons then u know its legit

gatormatt804449d ago (Edited 4449d ago )

CoD4 was the great one, and CoD never died, it just hasn't lived up to CoD4:MW. CoD2 was okay, but CoD3 and W@W don't hit the quality bar. MW2 and Black Ops didn't raise the bar set by MW so they're condemned by critics and fans a disappointments,

MW3--summarizing opinions of most--sets in between MW2-Black Ops and CoD3-W@W. Not great, not necessarily good, not meh. Just okay.

Just so you guys know, it's either fake or an alpha build menu for testing. It could be legit, but if it is, this isn't the work of Treyarch or of a final build.

Regardless of it's made by Activision or not, it will probably be taken down because they don't like to create a public image of a product until 2-3 months before it's release.

COD always has seperate menus.. for multiplayer... campaign.. and etc...

But since this is Beta menu couldn't be completed.. I don't know

ritsuka6664450d ago

Can't wait.. Black ops is best COD to date IMO.

CultOfPersonality4449d ago

agreed, i sold my MW3 just playing black ops now!

grahf4449d ago

I bought COD4 to see what everyone was talking about, $10 well spent.

My analysis?

It sucks compared to BlOps & MW3!

You kids are crazy with your 4 year old nostalgia glasses on.... Those should only be effective 10+ years! Yes, you all had a blast playing COD4, it was critically acclaimed for its time. You played it so much you burnt out on the entire genre and nothing else will ever eclipse it.

"Back in my day you only had 3 killstreaks, and you couldn't even choose them!"

Well, back in my day, you started with 3 lives, and when you lost them all you got a screen that said "GAME OVER" and you had to start back at the beginning.

Silly kids...

spicelicka4449d ago

@grahf
You make no sense. No one is claiming COD4 is the best right now. It was the best when it came out because of the innovation and the way it introduced the perk system, just like you said.

"It sucks compared to BlOps & MW3!" No shit, if you bought the game now after playing the 4 other CODs that came after, you're gonna think it sucks. Like really? Do you have any sort of common sense to be making that conclusion.

First of all, the only reason i consider it the best is because it was it was something brand new that was fresh and addicting. You can even say mw2 was the best and it would be acceptable. But every COD since then has been the same crap re-hashed with a bunch of extra perks thrown in. Sure Black ops is better and more polished than COD4, but considering the time it was released (4 years after COD4), it should've been someting wayy different and more innovative. Then i would have called it "best".

Lastly, have you ever thought about the fact that having just 3 killstreaks and less perks likely kept the game more balanced? There wasn't nearly as much of a disbalance issue with COD4 because there were just enough features.

To clarify, don't make stupid comparisons with sequels if you never played the original game in it's prime. And, it has nothing to do with nostalgia, my opinion is based on the leap from COD3 to COD4, and the amount of fresh amazing ideas that kept it innovative.

Black Ops is just so nice.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter and Black Ops 2? man it's going to be a very good autumn/winter!

it defo looks legit though.

I think the most surprising thing of all is that they are having a beta for it. kudos to them.

InFAMOUS14449d ago

They always have a closed beta on 360...

Black ops was CoD in slow motion. Hideous.

GraveLord4449d ago (Edited 4449d ago )

Really? Black Ops had marathon pro(you could run forever) while MW3 doesn't. This alone makes Black Ops much faster paced.

On topic: There is no Black OPs 2 beta. Just some kid trying to get some Youtube views.

Marz4449d ago

By beta they probably just mean a closed private early unpolished model that's only open to developers, testers, and family. There just isn't a "beta" open to the public.

Xbox $70 billion bet paid out

fr0sty276d ago

Guess that's what happens when there's no good new games to play...

4Sh0w276d ago (Edited 276d ago )

Well regardless of exclusives, or whatever else there is to play on Xbox or ps, CoD has has still been the top selling game on ps platform since forever also.....so no surprise that the most popular game franchise on any console could easily have a revival due to servers coming back online...this is just credit to xbox backwards compatibility & thats good thing for Xbox gamers.

wiz7191276d ago

@Frosty orrrr maybe it’s a breath of fresh air to be able to go back to the peak of the series .. and it’s beem great lol

mkis007276d ago

It's going to take 10 years for xbox to generate that much profit...

Rhythmattic276d ago

Why worry when they have OS, Server and Background Data in their hands...
Gaming is just the small piece, at the top left in a few K piece jigsaw.

EasilyTheBest275d ago

If you buy a house with cash for 1 million dollars you still own the house. Microsoft don't need to make the money back.

Rhythmattic274d ago

But its not money back, its about how it goes missing.

jznrpg276d ago

Shooters is what Xbox people play most of the time and that’s about it by the numbers and sales of games.

shinoff2183277d ago

Atkeast older gamers nostalgia is good. Jeez.

Jin_Sakai276d ago

Mostly because the new CoD games are garbage. The old games were much better.

Rutaprkl276d ago

Agree 100%. Cod 4, WaW, Black ops 1 & 2, those were the days.

Rhythmattic276d ago

For MP, Unreal tournament , QIII Arena (loved the UT mod) FTW!

RaidenBlack275d ago

Unreal Tournament and Quake III were simply amazing ... CoD's and CoD-likes' rise killed the arena shooter popularity ...
Unreal Tournament 2004 is my favorite in the series.
Didn't enjoy Unreal Tournament III, Quake Champions that much.
Too bad Epic cancelled Unreal Tournament 2014 becoz of Fortnite

Rhythmattic275d ago (Edited 275d ago )

I got hooked on the QIII Urban Terror mod (and my work colleagues I introduced them to)... LAN Sessions at the closing of the doors at work, into the night , sinking beers and eating pizza..... Good times.

thesoftware730276d ago

Wow, good games never get old I guess.

CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.

CrimsonWing69276d ago

Shows you that backwards compatibility is a worthwhile feature.

1Victor276d ago

@crimson:” Shows you that backwards compatibility is a worthwhile feature.”
I agree it’s worthy at the start of the generation when there’s few new generation games but halfway through the generation it’s not a feature.
Now it’s good that this game is finding a renewed life for its fan but it shows a mayor flaw in new games release when a close decade old game is toppling the charts

CrimsonWing69275d ago

I don't know if I understand what you mean. It's a feature regardless of the time into the generation.

Let's take Armored Core 6 for example. Let's say I'm interested in checking out the previous Armored Core games, sure would be nice if I could play them on my current-gen console.

We're about 3 years into current-gen and old games are hitting in the top 5 for sales charts in the month.

I do get where you're coming from with older games possibly being better than the newer games, but the feature stays the feature. I can only speak for myself, but when there's a lull in game releases or nothing great is out, I like to go back to old titles. It's just nice to not have to have a bunch of consoles out to do so.

I think moving forward it'll be less and less of an issue as like with the PS5 you can access most all of the PS4 games, but I like going back to PS1 and PS2. Would be awesome to kind of make backwards compatibility a prioritized feature moving forward. Hell, Sony was the first to implement it.
