Black Ops 2: 'More Value Than You'll Find Anywhere' - Treyarch

NowGamer: Black Ops 2 developer David Vonderhaar reckons the next Call of Duty sequel will offer the best value of any game anywhere.

[skyward]

Zombies could be better than the campign this year. Customisation's gonna keep people playing this for years.

[JKelloggs]

Years? HA!

[Muffins1223]

sad that you got disagree's...its true what you said.Lets just say, there's a reason why cod is replaced by another cod every year...

[HammadTheBeast]

It's true though lol. I can unlock everything in CoD within a couple weeks. Customization lol.

[SJPFTW]

COD4 is a timeless multiplayer classic. A lot of people still play it on all consoles especially on PC. I play on PC but i would still play it on my PS3 if it wasn't for the hacked lobbies.

Sadly every COD game after COD4 did not live up to the same sort of quality however

[A-stil_Tv]

i said the sam thing

[TruthbeTold]

The Zombie element is ALWAYS better than the main campaign as far as I'm concerned.

[R6ex]

Zombie SUCKS!!!

[AJBACK2FRAG]

I'm so excited for this game! On the WiiU! 1080p baby! Recognize! Guns!

It's your Call of Duty come on
a no scope party Phenom
your friends are all logged on
just please don't tell my stepmom Black Ops!

[Christopher]

The question is if the WiiU will have as large of an audience as 360 or PS3 when it comes to these type of games. Definitely a good thing to see it go that route, but make sure the people are heading there first.

[andibandit]

Zombies in COD will always suck as long as a headshot dosn't even stagger a zombie.

[Christopher]

What else are they supposed to say, honestly?

"Black Ops 2, same value you found in all our other games!"

My problem with the CoD games is that that value is all in the multiplayer end and that's it. And, for the most part, it's the same value as last year with a few added elements. Just like next year's will be the same as this years with a few added elements.

[dazzrazz]

"best value of any game anywhere" Thats a load of horse-crap !

[Siren30]

Multiplayer has a ton of game modes and maps and customization.
Usually a 6 to 8 hour single player campaign.
Co-op zombies.
Lots of support after its released all through the year.
Theatre mode that lets you watch anybodys game in hd.
Combat training.
I see alot of value there

[rpd123]

So essentially everything that Halo Reach and a metric sh*t ton of other games have? They act like they're special because they're giving you what should be standard these days. So yes I agree with dazzrazz, that's a load of horse crap.

[Christopher]

Sorry, Siren30, but 6-8 hour single player campaign? Yeah, no. Even this noob at FPSes finishes them in 4-5 hours, max on normal mode.

Now, having said that, it's great that you see a lot of value. For me, it's just not for me. The multiplayer is lackluster and not fun. But, it's great that a game that you have enjoyed a lot is getting more releases. I just wished people didn't try to copy it so much because of how well it does. It limits the options for those of us that are looking for something different.

[HammadTheBeast]

Real Value is Star hawk. Full campaign, about 6-8 hours. Full co-op horde style mode on 6 different maps + dlc maps for 2.50 each. Next multi player. 15 base maps, plus 4 more as free dlc. Then there's paid dlc, all of which can be bought for $15 , which includes skins, co op maps, vehicles, structures. Full clan system, with built in clan match Calender, player made servers free, tons of customization ( more than 500) and the replay ability of multi player is a lot.

That is value. $20 for Multiplayer + Co-op only.
Single Player free for PS+.
Full version only $30.

[ZombieKiller]

Actually if you like COD, which alot of people still do, then this game has alot of value.

Fucking fanboys an haters. Or actually we'll put you under 1 class and call you all TROLLS. Fuck off.

[GearSkiN]

That made me laugh so hard!

[AdjacentStalker]

Oh Call of Duty you make me laugh. There's more value in my right hand then that whole series.

[CrimsonessCross]

Right on.

Multi-player has got me interested with the maps, the customization and the score-streaks. Zombies has me slightly interested and the campaign I am "meh" about but will be something to fall back onto so I don't get burned out from the other two.

[TheFirstClassic]

Thats a really bold claim.

[fOrlOnhOpe57]

Think this guy needs to load up Borderlands 2.

[3-4-5]

Ehh...There's infinitely more repayability in Black Ops 2 , then there ever will be in Borderlands 2.

I understand BL2 is awesome, but it's still limited in it's awesomeness. I've yet to play it, but I've read a ton of reviews, watched gameplay videos, followed it for months, and it seems like they could have done even more.

Pretty much BL2 is what BL 1 should have been. And it doesn't look like BL3 is coming out any time in the next 5 years so that is all you get.

[GearSkiN]

So besically u don't really know do u...

[HammadTheBeast]

What? BL3 not coming in the next five years is a good thing, if it were even happening. Black Ops 2, maximum one year before next one comes out, along with about $50 more needed to get full package.

Borderlands has a huge world, millions of guns, thousands of skill possibilities, and multi player as well. I'd say it's more replay ability. But you are entitled to your opinion. I respectfully disagree.

[Highlife]

@hammondtheone

you do realize there is a season pass for borderlands to get all the content so more money to "get full package"

[kma2k]

LOL I saw the small picture read Treyarch & was thinking that a borderlands 2 brand gun name. Damn ive been playing Borderlands 2 to much!

[FunkMacNasty]

Wait.. Black Ops 2 was developed by Tediore!?

;-)

[OhMyGandhi]

Who would of thought that Call of Duty would have to compete with Resident Evil for the coveted, "Best Michael Bay-esque Set Pieces and Explosions" award.

[JellyJelly]

This year the campaign will last 5 hours instead of the usual 4. VALUE!

[3-4-5]

Game of the Year. Halo 4 is adding a ton of stuff but even this game will add more and do it slightly better.

I can't wait for both, but I'm extremely excited for Black Ops 2. They have given us enough content, that if IW decides to make a crap game again, we at least have this Gem.

Yes I'm calling it a GEM. It's pretty easy to see the oncoming Traffic of awesomeness that is Black Ops 2.

[deep_fried_bum_cake]

You don't play many games, do you? (Rhetorical question)

[3-4-5]

don't care. I've been gaming since 1989. Played hundreds of games. Why do you ask ?

[AJBACK2FRAG]

Exactly! You're either in or you're out. Count me IN!

[Blastoise]

Lol saying Black ops 2 is gonna be better than Halo 4 on N4G, you are a brave man.

I agree with you though, really looking forward to Black ops 2 since MW3 sucked Iv had a big gap where I've been CoDless.
Played MW2, CoD4 and Black ops to death so im hoping I can have fun in CoD once again.

[rpd123]

I don't know. There looks to be a lot of cool improvements to the game but it'll still be pretty close between CoD, Assassin's Creed 3, Borderlands 2, and Halo 4.

[Cam977]

Yeah, this is because they've chosen quantity to base this statement off (MP Prestige).

[fossilfern]

Even though im not a fan of COD but I really feel Treyarch are the only ones who actually try something new but Activision are the ones pulling the strings.

[Majin-vegeta]

*Black Ops 2: 'More Value Than You'll Find Anywhere'*

Damn right you will get the best value of 12 year olds screaming down their mic how they are going to do your mom,or hack your accout etc..Cod is fun only for the first few days then it becomes the same crappy thing like every other year yawn!

[GearSkiN]

Amen.

[Hazmat13]

well with an epic storyline, zombie filled single player missions and combat training plus multiplayer all it needs now are spec ops missions like on MW3 then it will be above and beyond MW3, well then again anything is beyond MW3.

[ninjahunter]

Idk, blacklight retribution is like call of duty with all the shit cut out and its free...

[Bladesfist]

I have played skyrim and mount and blade for nearly 100hrs each, I managed to play mw3 for 60 mins before getting bored on the free weekend (steam). I highly doubt black ops 2 will be any different.

[Highlife]

to each his own. Skyrim was a huge let down. Don't want to run errands and do chores in a video game.

[yeahokchief]

Doubt it.

Got 400 hours and still going in Dark Souls. New DLC released for consoles on the 25th.

So technically the game will have been out for over a year with NEW content instead of a yearly sequel. That's straight up much better value right off the bat.

[Thatlalala]

Zombies.. Everyone hide in this one corner as long as possbile, make a crawler, get ammo, perks, blah blah blah. Zombies is garbage.

[Yangus]

Buy Resident Evil 6.
