If you’re looking to take your game to the next level or are wondering why you just can’t catch a break – check these out:
Following the Wii U and 3DS servers being taken offline, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Ghosts are officially dead.
Call of Duty players are jumping into Black Ops 2 for the final time before its Wii U servers go offline for good.
GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 leap up due to summer sales
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.
@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
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.
Shooters is what Xbox people play most of the time and that’s about it by the numbers and sales of games.
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
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.
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.
@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
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.
Number 1. Pull the trigger, you get 10 kills!
Here's my tips:
Always strafe back and forth with an SMG.
Always be ready to adjust your aim for people who go prone in a gunfight.
And use the crap out of secondary grenades such as concussions, flashbangs etc.
1. Use appropriate streaks. If you don't aim above your skill level then you will finish with more kills.
2. Play kill confirmed. It is easily the best game for getting streaks. Every time my K9 unit or Lodestar pick up a kill my team mates get the tags. This racks my score up to insane amounts. I got 3 K9 units in 1 life and went 76 - 3. I only had to kill around 2 people with my gun after the first K9 unit.
3. Pre fire if you know someone is round the corner.
4. I am unsure if this is included in BO2, but in BO1 double tapping triangle (y for 360) used to speed up the process of picking up guns. Give it a try.
5. Don't reload after every enemy you kill. If you have enough bullets in your clip then wait for a split second to check if anyone else is following.
6. Abuse head glitching.
7. Use SMG's
8. Shoot down score streaks. They are worth a lot of score.
9. Ghost Pro, Hardline and the Wildcard that allows 2 Perks in slot 1 is AMAZING!
10. Set your search preferences to BEST so you get the best available connection and reduced lag.
Use the Black Hat PDA with Fast Hands. Easy points there.
Apply shotgun, get kills, receive rage.
