EGM: "The first Black Ops put Treyarch on par with Infinity Ward; with Black Ops II, they surpass them. This is the most impressed I’ve been with Call of Duty since the first Modern Warfare; aside from some problems with the Strike Force missions, this is a shining moment for the franchise."
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
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.
Halo 4 gets a 7 and this expansion pack game gets a 9 ohhhh really?
Here's the thing about call of duty games. Sure they have a lot to improve on. But each installment uses their current engine to their fullest potential. Yes it's the same engine over-used a 4 years in a row. But the developers try to make up for it by adding an immerse experience and a variety in content such as game modes, zombies, etc. The games end up having a lot of polish because of the "easy to develop" engine.
All I have to say is that I think this is a good game. But a 9 is too un-fitting. A 7.5 or 8 would be good because it's a great game without any innovation.
I have to give credit to Treyarch for moving the franchise into an unfamiliar direction.
You know what, neither game offers anything new, both play very well and if i had to decide on just one of them .....? that would be a tough one, but i dont need to decide and bought them both. only reason i buy cod at all every year as the servers are not hacked for the first couple of weeks so you get a good online game haha
On side note I think both halo 4 and cod:bo 2 both deserve a 7, and thats genorous, and thats just coz its more of the same, coz both games look awesome and play really well
