[ALL] COD: Black Ops 2

[Primetime]

Do you play Bf? I'm going to guess no. Can you go for K/D in Bf matches? Sure. But it will do little to help your team. Whereas in CoD you can seriously control ANY game type just by worrying about your K/D.

People make that argument because it's absolutely true. There's a reason why every gaming outlet mentions it constantly.

I'd played BF3 for maybe a little over 10 hours. You can't control everything in CoD with K/D at all. When I played on my own, my K/D was ~1.7 and my win/loss was about 0.8. When I played with members of VSN, our W/L was probably 4.0-5.0

i thought they added keyboard support for this game...and the new songs suck. no way im spending 60 bucks to play a few jethro tull songs

It really is all about who you play with. When I roll with a group of people, whether it was VSN for MW3 when it first came out or another group of guys, the win/loss is around 5. When I play by myself or with one or two other guys, we struggle to break even. Knowing how other people play is key, i.e not six people sniping, or six people rushing. Even COD requires basic strategy (read: common sense) if you want to win the matches

You could tell me that video was MW3 and I would have no reason to not believe you.

Here
is some leaked Black Ops 2 information from an industry contact at
Activision. Although he is just an associate producer, he has been
telling me all about the game. This information is 100% correct, and
verified., and I will not reveal my friend's name. He doesn’t even
know I am posting this. I will provide no other details, as I do not
know anything more than this, so please do not ask.

 

This is just to get fans more excited about the game and to give some
release to fans that have been waiting patiently. If you are a fan and want to know more about the game, continue reading. If not, there are MAJOR SPOILER ALERTS below. Have fun.

Single Player

Story
The story revolves two things. First around Frank woods as an old man talking about his missions with Alex Mason, giving tips on how to defeat Raul Menendez which you flash
back to and are able to play. Other part of the story involves Raul Menendez, a terrorist that eventually controls the worlds drone army, starting a world war. Menendez has
presence in the flashback missions as well, showing how he rose to power over the years. Although there is spoilers here, I will not reveal the ending, which sounds pretty damn good from what I heard.

As said in interviews, some of your actions dictate how the game
plays out.

Single player has perks, and special ones are ones such as brute
force. What this means is through a single player level there are
certain areas of the game you can only access if have this perk. This
will allow you to break a lock and get special grenades or extra guns
for example.

Diving to prone is back.

Nuketown will be back in a futuristic setting.

DLC will be in map packs, unlike MW3.

Locations:

Afghanistan -The level that shows players riding horses in the trailer. This is a flashback
mission. Meet up with Chinese soldiers to meet at a Mujahideen base, who are willing to exchange info on Menendez in exchange from helping defend them against a Russian attack. The Mujahideen betray Mason and Woods at the end of the mission.
Angola – No information given. Rumored to be the first mission.
Panama – Mission name “Let it snow”. Flashback mission. Takes place in 1989 in the invasion of Panama. Capture dictator Manuel Noriega and plant false evidence to
smear his name. Mission ends with the death of Mason. Woods thinks he is assassinating Menendez, but after he shoots and checks the body, it is revealed he actually just killed Mason. Woods is shot and Manuel Noriega escapes. Woods is then rescued.
Haiti – Possible final level and/or strike force mission.
Pakistan – No information given. However, speculation about this being a future mission,
recording Menendez's conversation, driving a car, and flying a helicopter.
Al Jinan - A floating city in the middle of the ocean. Obtain information on a weapon called
“Karma”. Go undercover as technicians and even user a remote controlled spider robot to control through vents to gain access to areas of the level. It is revealed that “Karma” is not a weapon, and is in fact a girl. Fight through a nightclub full of people and
an outdoor mall. At the end is a choice that will effect later on in the game. Karma is taken captive by enemies and you must stop her from escaping. Use a sniper rifle to either kill or disable her.
U.S.S. Barack Obama – An aircraft carrier. Menendez is held captive. While he is being
interviewed, Menendez escapes while the Cordis Die group attacks. Near the end of the mission, player is able to actually play as Menendez, taking hostages, then escape while shooting gas grenades
with a launcher.
Singapore (Strikeforce mission) - No information. Gameplay demos online show this level better than the info I had available.
Yemen(Strikeforce mission) – No information
Yemen (Non strikeforce, regular mission) – Play as Fahrid, an
undercover informant. This mission contains a choice that can effect
the rest of the story. Harper is taken captive and Mendez gives you a
gun and tell you to shoot him. You can either choose to shoot and
kill Harper to maintain your cover, or to shoot Menendez. If player
chooses to shoot Menendez, he will grab your gun then shoot the
player. Player then plays as Mason. In either decision, Mendez is
captured at the end of the mission.
Nicaragua – Flashback mission with Woods and Mason.
Myanmar – Obtain a rare earth element from an enemy base. Start the mission in a
squirrel suit flying through a rainy landscape.
Los Angeles - Shown in the E3 demo. Highlights include flying a jet and driving a truck.






Multiplayer

You can now make a class based on how much equipment you have, rather than having to choose stuff you don’t ever use. For example, it is possible to have 6 perks if you choose
to not carry a primary or secondary weapon (you will have just a knife). If you choose to pick a primary gun, it will say you need to replace one of those perks. If you don’t like any perks, you can add more features to your primary or secondary.

Live Streaming – Black Ops 2 will now have a live streaming feature built right in. You can automatically stream your gameplay over the internet easily. You would require a
camera though for the feature that shows your face. This may or may not work with Kinnect.

Dedicated servers – Black ops 2 will now feature deticated servers, so now you wont have to worry about host migrations when someone leaves the match.

Dedicated servers you say? :howyadoin:

Did we mention they were robotic dogs? Maybe that'll sway you!

With fricken' laser beams attached to their fricken' heads? If so, I'm in!

 

[Leftwich]

Alright let me just ask this question.

All the people that are excited and can't wait for this game, why? You guys, especially Atlas, bitch about the game about a month after it comes out. A month after the new car smell disappears you notice there are a lot of problems. I refuse to put myself through overpowered weapons, overpowered killstreaks and shitty fucking maps that cater to quick scopers. Oh don't forget, Blops and MW3 were quickscoper friendly and if you think it change for Blops2 you're a damn fool.

/thread

 

[Atlas]

I only bitched about the maps on mw3 and the quickscoping on blops... Don't know why you are calling me out like that lol... I still liked both a shit ton more than bf3... :dealwithit:

 

[MVPete]

I highly doubt I get this game. I don't like the Treyarch versions and w/e setting they are trying to do here looks like it will have some retarded shit online.

Atlas you bitch about the perks all the time.

 

[Swarley]

overpowered killstreaks

The sole reason why I hate Call of Duty now. I sorely miss the COD4 and WaW days.

 

[Atlas]

Atlas you bitch about the perks all the time.

Pretty sure it's Pete that always yells about perks and lack of UAVs in the air...

:dd:

 

[MVPete]

Ya because you guys would always set your kill streaks super high, instead of keeping them low and using the team oriented ones.

 

[CCBrink]

MW2 was what really turned me off on the series. I DID buy Black Ops because Jaydizzle and a few others convinced me to hours before the midnight release. Played for about 3 weeks, got tired of the usual COD BS, and sold it for $50. Went back to Bad Company 2 and never looked back :dealwithit:

I do understand why so many people prefer the series over Battlefield. It's much easier to pick up and play, very fast paced, and caters to the "lone wolf" play style.

 

[Chrispy]

I tried BF3 and just didn't like it :dealwithit:

Maybe I'll wait to see reviews of MoH and Blops2 to see which one I get

Got BF3 and really enjoyed it.

Same here until BF3 did the rent a server thing and I never figured out how to get into a match that was under an hour long
