He's gotta be one old pisser, then.

Nitrowolf24399d ago

they way I see it, BO 1 was just Old Woods his story or the "cover up story". Kind of liek assassin creed

NukaCola4398d ago

Is it me or does this game scream Deus Ex meets Snake Eater. I am a bit curious.

MattyG4399d ago

well he was born in 1930, so either there is a flashback mission like in BO1 with WW2 or this game isnt too futuristic. Who knows, maybe he's in a nursing home and the enemy faction in BO2 needs info he has. that would be a cool mission. "Objective added: drink prune juice." i just hope they dont do the whole poison gas thing again.

mynameisEvil4399d ago

If you look at his upper arm, you'll see that he's in a hospital gown of some description. I think he's in a nursing home.

DoomeDx4398d ago

Well captain price was in CoD2 aswell. which toke place at 1942-1945.

Hes still around in the Modern warfare series.

mynameisEvil4398d ago

That isn't the same Captain Price, bro. For one, WWII Price died on the Tirpitz in CoD 1.

Two, their faces don't show m difference age-wise. So, he didn't age? Besides, WWII Price's face was a bit chubbier.

Three, their voices aren't the same. The MW Price is probably his grandson or something.

Besides, there isn't a single true military force in the world that would find a man that's supposed to be around 90 - 100 years old useful in battle, let alone the SAS.

This, however, is probably the same Woods. Oh, and don't ask why I made such a long comment explaining that it's impossible for it to be the same Price. I could've just left it at "He's friggin' dead, bro", but I'm bored... and tired... and rambly. Speaking of which... bye. XD

Trunkz4398d ago

I called it. I knew when they ran out of ideas they would move into the 2142 era, how obvious of them. I hope they lose sales now.

ugh set in the future? So it begins....

GraveLord4399d ago

What's wrong troll?
People asked for change. They got it. Yet they are still bitching and moaning.

Typical trolls. Can never be satisfied.

Kran4399d ago

Its not the time period I want changing. Its everything else.

Kahvipannu4399d ago

You do realize it's just another re-skin? It's not what people have been asking for.. "oh it's futuristic, so it's new...", I mean, really?

supraking9514398d ago

so instead of regular helicopter killstreaks we get super future airplanes that does the same thing? such a Revolutionary change

irepbtown4398d ago

I for one didn't want Black ops to be futuristic. I wanted them to gradually move forward in time.

I wanted Modern Warfare to be futuristic (Modern warfare < thats why).

Doubt I'll buy it however it has catched my attention slightly. It'll be interesting what they show us next.

Gamer-Z4398d ago

If i color my pencil from yellow to red does that make it new? GraveLord i know your smarter than that, you know its going to be the same thing.

well that arm that is tied down is definitley Woods. it had the werewolf tatoo. i loved woods so I'm glad he's back!

Edit: I don't think it's tied down actually, he just has a watch on.

VKaotiicV4399d ago

Based off Wood's Arm looks like the same engine....ha! what else would I expect

moparmogul4399d ago

You really think they would create a brand spankin' new engine for a console at the END of it's life cycle? Have some business sense.

Bladesfist4398d ago

Yes, I do, otherwise thry wont be ready for next gen. DICE have made their next gen engine, Unreal have nearly completed theirs and crytek have made theres. All there major competitiors are there or close.

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.

EasilyTheBest276d 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_Sakai277d 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!

RaidenBlack276d 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.
