lolwut?

Absolutely none of the things mentioned are new innovations.
Calling "The Claw" (sounds dumb as shit) a killstreak and saying it's innovating is just... wow. Not really.

Other games have had multiple endings. Also not innovative.

Editing Zombie mode and changing it up a bit is not innovative.

An improved perk system isn't innovating.

Bringing back Combat Training is not innovating.

You want me to give you an example of something that's innovating?

How about creating a wireless product such as a 360 controller that can run without ever needing batteries or needing to be recharged? (without using solar power)

That would be innovating.

I laughed hard at this one. Still not buying your game. Nothing innovating about it. Re-hash.

This article was pretty pointless but I still think your pretty harsh on the game. It is a sequel after all.its not a new call of duty. It black ops 2... 2!!! In terms of just CoD the game IS innovative. Mostly referring to the scorestreaks and to custom classes. If your so convinced your not going to buy it and CoD is trash why do you insist on posting on the CoD articles. Just leave it alone. Your bashing and hating is a waste of time. And before people start disagreeing with what I said keep in mind I'm talking strictly CoD and nothing else. Custom class that can do whatever you want to is to innovative. Even across the FPS genre. It's not often you have this much control over your classes. Not since counter strike any. If you can think of another game then that then post it.

OneAboveAll4257d ago (Edited 4257d ago )

It is another Call of Duty. Hence "CALL OF DUTY- black op's 2"

And no it isn't innovative. There is nothing in the game that other games haven't done. Touching up a perk system and adding multiple endings isn't innovative. My bashing and hate really isn't a waste of time.

I'm hoping people who still buy this garbage will read my post and think long and hard because the words I speak are true. Same old, same old.

Second of all, you talk about custom classes that can do whatever you want to being innovative? Sorry man, again, it's NOT INNOVATIVE. Battlefield has already done it.

Disagree if you must but i'v spoken facts. (whether you think i'm the cool kid coming out to bash the game) I used to love the COD series. But then I wised up and learned that all they do every year is re-hash the same old shit. It's nothing more than a glorified expansion pack year after year.

CerebralAssassin4257d ago

There's nothing wrong with battlefield but your wrong. Like I said, there isn't another game out there that gives you the control over a custom class like black ops 2 will. In battlefield you still were required to use a main gun, side arm, nades. Hell if anything it gives u less control because you can't mix anything you want. Try using rockets and a sniper rifle on battlefield. You can't. They are doing what they need to do to make the game better. If you don't like it don't play it, don't talk about it, don't read CoD articles. Digress from the game and move on. We don't need your opinion. Hate all you want but nothing you will say will change the amount of copies sold or the how much enjoyment people will have playing this game. If you want to deprive yourself from a game this good then please do.

Atleast I don't need to Kill 95 enemies in a row to get a Chopper that I can't control manually.

fullymoated4257d ago

Was this article written in April? So much repeat and misinformation

chriski3334257d ago

Guy that wrote this article Ur info is wrong and misleading nothing about black ops 2 is innovate

miDnIghtEr20C_SfF4257d ago

And like clock work, the cool kids come out to bash COD. They are out more than the actual COD games.

The real question is what's less innovative? COD coming out each year with strong review scores? Or the same ol COD hating kids with their same ol hate post?

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...

Rhythmattic253d 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.

EasilyTheBest253d 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.

Rhythmattic251d 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.

shinoff2183254d ago

Atkeast older gamers nostalgia is good. Jeez.

Jin_Sakai254d ago

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

Rutaprkl253d ago

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

Rhythmattic253d ago

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

RaidenBlack253d 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.

1Victor253d 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

CrimsonWing69253d 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.
