One Hit Pixel: Call Of Duty: Black Ops II Adopts The “If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It” Battle Plan

Call of Duty has seen iteration after iteration since the release of the rather excellent of Modern Warfare, but never with any new innovation for gamers. With Black Ops II, Treyarch, Activision and many media outlets have dubbed it as the best Call of Duty yet, but we decided to see if the multiplayer portion of the title stacks up to these claims.

It's not haters is getting tired of the same sh!t year in year out.......get it right bro

dcortz20274648d ago

Spot on bro, nice avy, I can't wait for Medal Of Honor: Warfighter either! I used to be a huge COD fan, but I have grown tired of playing the same game every year with little to no changes at all.

theEx1Le4648d ago

Played the MoH beta, Games gash.

You guys aren't smart. It's two different dev teams.

Everyone is mad at MW3......That game has almost literally nothing to do with the people making Black ops 2.

How don't you people comprehend this?

Last year when MW3 was out....it wasn't treyarch....they were busy making Black Ops 2.

FACTS > what you guys think

blodulv4648d ago (Edited 4648d ago )

I would be happy with a more balanced, non-hacked MW2 honestly. MW3's lagfest is horrid.

People like the gameplay and that's why it doesn't matter if it's not a monumental upgrade... as long as it plays well. When the online play starts to suffer as bad as the last two games though, well that's two strikes. I really think Blops 2 will be a make or break deal for a lot of COD veterans.

TopDudeMan4647d ago

Yeah, exactly. What call of duty fans want is a game that plays like the game they love without all the annoying stuff.

That's what they fail to deliver on year in year out. The problem isn't that it's the same game every year, it's that they don't fix the things that are wrong with it.

princejb1344647d ago

Haha activision motto is
"If it sells don't fix it"

blodulv4648d ago

Well Black Ops & MW3 Multiplayer are broken... compared to previous COD's anyways. I say fix it, and fix it fast.

Lots of folks will be giving them some serious competition next gen and many hardcore players are already getting the itch to move on due to the past two experiences.

supersonicjerry4647d ago

What is wrong with black ops? MW2 was broken and MW3 is just trash everybody knows that.

Getowned4647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

horrible hit boxes and lag .. nothing that hasn't been a problem in any other cod game,Blops is my fav cod currently tho and its not perfect but I wouldn't call it broken. (COD4 was my fav, but the hackers ruined it now)

If it's broken and people still buy it, don't fix it.

Straightupbeastly4648d ago

Cod has yet to change we think when entering a match. It's been the same thought process for five years now. Killstreaks, perks etc..

I'd like to see a cod where winning plays the major role in your rank. That would make it feel so fresh and competitive. Of course the franchise needs new game modes too, preferably ones more unpredictable.

You can only customize a weapon so much or add new killstreaks before it becomes tiring

"Cod has yet to change we think when entering a match. It's been the same thought process for five years now. Killstreaks, perks etc.."

You forgot to add weapons -_-

This COD allows you to take no perks and put a focus on your weapon and I think thats a good improvement because EVERYONE who hates COD complains about its perks so it does something good in their eyes and its still hate. Also Killstreaks reward good players... Whats wrong with that?

"I'd like to see a cod where winning plays the major role in your rank. That would make it feel so fresh and competitive. Of course the franchise needs new game modes too, preferably ones more unpredictable."

Halo 3 already did it. Not many people enjoy the Idea of being a good player and playing 1000 matches and being paired up with bad players on your team 60% of the time therefore only earning 333 points to level up.

Also Unpredictability has recently been proven as bad with the MOH beta. So many players on a map slightly bigger than COD's that you have no idea whether your safe or not.

"You can only customize a weapon so much or add new killstreaks before it becomes tiring".

So you must get bored even quicker with other games right? The possibilities of Class creator 3.0 are truly endless with Blops2 when compared to other shooters so its hardly a bad thing...

Guess they never heard of "there's always room for improvement".

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

P_Bomb37d ago

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville37d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer37d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

Deathdeliverer37d ago

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

babadivad36d ago

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.

Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.

Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.

fsfsxii135d ago

If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.

Gamingsince1981121d ago

It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.

SoloGamer1134d ago

thank goodness we dodged that landmine 😒
