'Perks such as Ghost won’t save you from the prying eyes of the new Orbital VSAT Score Streak Reward in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 multiplayer'

I'll bet hacking a lobby does though, hohoho didn't think of that though did you treyarch...oh sorry what was that? Its someone elses job to make the games secure not yours? Oh and this is going to be another epic cut and paste effort from previous itterations?

deja-vu strikes....

So I take it you WON'T be playing this game when it ships right? I would hate to have to hear you bitch about the game while playing it. And seeing as how this is the first game there wasn't a perk that didn't hide you from a score streak, it seems pretty different to me. No one is making you drink the Call of Duty Kool-aid so stfu and go bitch about something else.

'And seeing as how this is the first game there wasn't a perk that didn't hide you from a score streak, it seems pretty different to me.'

And the CoD community rejoiced, the series is reborn as this single feature hasn't been done before.

*Claps* Well done mate, if its this easy for them to sell you the same game for the 7th time in a row your parents must have a field day at christmas...what do they do, crap in a different box each year and hand it to you 'awww dats not been done before...' lol :D

CerebralAssassin4266d ago

So I'm curious what games do you play then? Because basically what your telling me is that you only play the first game of any series. I like that smug attitude you have as well. Very impressive. I was merely pointing out that that is indeed something that is different. No matter how big or small it is. I honestly don't care what games you play. My point is down to its core all are are the same. The sequels are the same as the first just different bells n whistles. Like I said before if you don't like call of duty, great don't play it. But there is no denying that game isn't good at what it does. Provides a fast paced action game and what you see is what you get. Stop riding on that band wagon just because everyone loves to hate the successful.

Xbox $70 billion bet paid out

fr0sty253d ago

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

4Sh0w253d ago (Edited 253d 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.

wiz7191253d 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

mkis007253d ago

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

Rhythmattic252d 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.

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.

Rhythmattic250d ago

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

jznrpg253d ago

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

shinoff2183253d ago

Atkeast older gamers nostalgia is good. Jeez.

Jin_Sakai253d ago

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

Rutaprkl252d ago

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

Rhythmattic252d ago

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

RaidenBlack252d 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

Rhythmattic252d ago (Edited 252d 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.

thesoftware730253d 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.

CrimsonWing69253d ago

Shows you that backwards compatibility is a worthwhile feature.

1Victor252d 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

CrimsonWing69252d 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.
