I still don't understand how this is in the future and it's going to be a part 2 to the story...

-but looking good so far I guess...

I might have to actually get this one because of Zombies... I actually liked the story of Black Ops 1 and I'm hoping treyarch does a good job..

Zombie killing has always been fun so it will be interesting to see what they do..

It's either this or Medal Of Honor Warfighter.. we shall see which one is looking better as we get closer to Nov.

Black Ops' story (in my opinion) was atrocious, it copied entire scenes from films (the Russian Roullette scene was essentially the same scene as that found in The Deer Hunter) and the twist was taken directly from Fight Club. Gary Oldman did a good job as Reznov but Sam Worthington was a terrible voice actor.

Despite not having bought a Call of Duty game since the original Modern Warfare unfortunately I was given Black Ops and MW2 as Christmas presents by my Uncle (of who I rarely see, therefor he knows not of my despise of the franchise)

DasTier4381d ago

You realize that most medal of honors and call of duty games borrow heavily from films? COD1 was basically Band of brothers while Medal of honor allied assault followed saving private ryan almost completely!

DecoyOctopus4381d ago (Edited 4381d ago )

yeah the story wasnt really original but i thought i was really well executed and cool. And i dont agree at all with you that Sam Worthington was terrible i thought he did it well. Anyway not really looking forward to this game looks like the mw2/mw3 engine and it's gonna play and feel/look like every other call of duty and im done with the franchise at this point.

TekoIie4381d ago (Edited 4381d ago )

You play COD in the same style that I masturbate: secretly ; )

SPAM-FRITTER-1234381d ago

although i havn't enjoyed a COD since WAW i thought black ops wasn't that bad. not happy that both companies are now making modern warfare.

dark-hollow4381d ago

what the point of releasing new screenshots?

just post a picture of cod 4 and write "this is how black op2 will looks like"

Merrill4381d ago

No, no, not released screenshots, 'Leaked' screenshots. It wouldn't garnish enough attention if they were willingly released ;)

gta28004381d ago

I had moments where I had fun playing MW2 with my friends...but thats it.. Bought Black Ops and MW3 because thats all my friends play and its always fun to play with friends...but even with friends, to this day I've only been able to bring my self to play Black Ops Like 5 times! MW3, no different. Waste of 120 bucks. Not this time though. Not touching anymore MW games. Or at least not until the game gets a fresh start in all aspects. Almost feels Like theyre making more CoD's than a annual sports title.

showtimefolks4381d ago

i think this is a new story i think MW 3 completed the story so this can be something new, but they will be using the same engine again so don't expect anything amazing

i am more interested in bioshock and borderlands 2 alogn with dishonored to fill my FPS needs this fall

gintoki7774381d ago

I honestly would not be able to bring myself to purchase another Cod game. Its a waste of money.

MASTER_RAIDEN4381d ago

likewise. I've honestly said that every year, but this time around...ive barely even played MW3. there's literally NO reason for me to plunk another 60 bucks down on a game i probably wont reach 2nd prestige in. The reference to what looks to be Anonymous just pisses me off more than anything too.

ritsuka6664381d ago

I actually kind of enjoyed the Black Ops campaign. I thought it was a pretty decent action story. The online was the most Call of Duty I've played since 4 as well, so I'm HYPED for this game!

Xenomorph4381d ago

Call Of Duty Period hasn't had good story telling since COD4.

COD4-Good
Mod War 2- Meh
Mod War 3- Meh
Any Treyarch Story- Bad

DeadSpaced4381d ago (Edited 4381d ago )

For me, the list would go like this:

COD4-Good
MW2-Eh.
WaW-Not great but not bad.
Black Ops- Not horrible.
MW3-*Vomits*

dcortz20274381d ago

COD4 - Great

W@W - So so

MW2 - Good

BO - Bad

MW3 - Crap

I don't have high hopes for this title, or for any future COD game. I hope the new Medal Of Honor game is good!

DeadlyFire4381d ago

Funny Infinity ward's last great game was Call of Duty 4. MW2 I think Activision pushed their own agenda. MW 3 I think dev team said F*** It and jumped into Respawn. I can't wait to see what they do with Respawn studio. :)

Black Ops from what I have played wasn't to bad. Between MW3 developer and Black Ops developer I think the tide has shifted to Tryarch being the better studio. Although they could probably use a few new people in some areas.

J_Cob4381d ago (Edited 4381d ago )

The game uses flashbacks again most likely from Woods telling stories as an old man. It goes from the 80's all the way up to 2025.

Am i the only one that saw the tank with legs on there? Lol

CaptCalvin4381d ago

Doubt its any more usable than the Stryker that was in MW2

Chitown712914381d ago

Haha very true dude. I was just pointing it out, it looked odd lol

ritsuka6664381d ago

Seriously dude give it a rest. If you don t like the game don t play it. I don t care if you or someone else calls me an idiot or treats me like dirt because I buy this game ok?

Xbox $70 billion bet paid out

fr0sty259d ago

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

4Sh0w259d ago (Edited 259d 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.

wiz7191259d 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

mkis007259d ago

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

Rhythmattic258d 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.

EasilyTheBest258d 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.

Rhythmattic256d ago

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

jznrpg259d ago

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

shinoff2183259d ago

Atkeast older gamers nostalgia is good. Jeez.

Jin_Sakai259d ago

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

Rutaprkl258d ago

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

Rhythmattic258d ago

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

RaidenBlack258d 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

Rhythmattic258d ago (Edited 258d 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.

thesoftware730259d 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.

CrimsonWing69259d ago

Shows you that backwards compatibility is a worthwhile feature.

1Victor258d 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

CrimsonWing69258d 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.
