Use 3 Guns in Call of Duty Black Ops?

A man is shown holding akimbo pistols, with an M16, and a CAR15 on his back. Has the game evolved? Is there a change in mechanics?

Ohhh not 2 guns, but 3! That just screams innovation. If Nazi Zombies doesn't come back Treyarch, you can forget about getting my money.

I aint buying this cos I think Treyarch is bad ( I think they're underrated) but purely because I refuse to purchase any Activision game from now on until they fix their greedy ways.

Well i suppose they've got to add something to make it a different game to the last 217 CoD games to come out. Probs won't get it. Treyarch have no idea how to do competitive online and with MoH and Crysis 2 coming out, why would I want a MW2 clone set it Vietnam?

morganfell5148d ago

More does not equal better. Sega couldn't learn that lesson with the Iron Man game, Treyarch couldn't learn that with Quantum of Solace and they didn't learn it here.

If MW2 is resting on the shoulders of Treyarch then the series is finished. Atlas they are not. And it doesn't help that while they are attempting to hold up the IP, kotich is nipping at their ankles like a rat.

As if COD didn't already have enough annoyances for crappy players to abuse.

raztad5148d ago

I think the "only two weapons" mechanics in the story mode is flawed and it's frankly unnecessary. It kind of works in MW because all the goons are the same, no challenging bosses, no need for different tactics, or different kind of weapons.

If Black Ops is a more variated game a third or more weapon will be absolutely necessary.

claterz5148d ago

it was so much better on CoD4 when you only had one primary and your secondary had to be a pistol, and if you wanted 2 primary weapons you had to use a perk. << keep it that way! <<

DarkTower8055148d ago

I hated the fact that in MW2 you couldn't use a shotgun as a primary like you could in COD4. I hope Black Ops gives us the option to use the shotty as a primary.

As long as each weapon fits a particular role/niche and aren't all purpose weapons - SMGs being proficient at sniping, snipers at close quarters etc.

xAlmostPro5148d ago

how can you expect snipers not to work at close range?.. they can reach long range, meaning it passes throught the short range barriers.. -_- its the smg's that shouldnt be able to snipe though, because there designed for close range

Hotel_Moscow5148d ago

not when you have auto assist aim for all guns so when the scope up close they think their so l337 while not bothering the fact that when youre cross hair is on some one that it tracks the target i know i used a sniper and i was better at it in close range than i was at actually sniping

If they are trying something different, it could be a breath of fresh air. Or it could scream for abuse, but seeing as how Treyarch has been keeping an eye on the MW 2 disgruntled players' complaints. I doubt that.

I'm interested seeing what they have up their sleeve.

Zombies is going to be awesome though!!

Theater mode would make an awesome addition to this game, seeing as how many of us get many cool shots that we can never share or live again.

Gestalt5148d ago

It could always be "use as many guns as you can carry".

Just throwing that out there; it's always an option. Though ammunition might be a problem...

Ironfungus5148d ago

It's more accessible guys, yeah!

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

Black Ops 1 Nuketown versus Cold War Nuketown '84

From DownSights: "Black Ops is not Black Ops without Nuketown. Following the tradition of releasing Nuketown for Black Ops games, the new Black Ops Cold War game also offers a revamped Nuketown called Nuketown '84.

Nuketown '84 has the same dimensions and map layout except for the aesthetics. The map's aesthetics have changed to fit the 80s theme, with destroyed buildings and graffiti-filled walls compared to a clean 50s suburban neighborhood seen in Black Ops 1."
