IGN: Five Awesome Additions to Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer

Call of Duty: Black Ops set the world of online multiplayer ablaze today. The latest trailer provided people with the first ever look at what combat over Xbox Live and PlayStation Network would entail for Treyarch fans come this November.

[big_silky]

The last 3 will be exploited into absolute absurdity. It's another exploit and noob-fest waiting to happen. Now you'll have people diving across the map shooting knives and sticky grenades at you while another camps in a corner with a camera, racking up napalm and exploding robot cars. Fun fun fun. /s

[Dee_91]

looks fun
cant wait

[Conloles]

Looks good, nice to see theyre bringing back dedicated servers after the crappy lagfest that was MW2

[Cevapi88]

one way to limit camping is to have a ticker for when ever a player stops and remains in the same spot for 30 seconds, they will have 5 seconds to move or they get kicked from the game...this is something that could work, but i doubt it will ever happen

[God_Of_Epicness]

If you don't like it shut up and stop crying over here at N4G. Believe it or not, 95% of N4G regular users hate COD cos they suck at it. Bring on the disagrees!

Noobtubes by your logic is considered cheating, huh? I know cos I met guys like you before. Don't give me the "When did i say anything about noobtubes" cos I just know you hate it.

You're just a guy who played it for 24 hours (multiplayer gametime) before you realized you suck at it and decided to stop. No killstreaks perhaps? oh yeah, Chopper Gunners are overpowered, I'm sorry I forgot.

"Model 1887's are overpowered, shotguns aren't supposed to shoot long range distances, this is bull$hit"

Have you ever even tried shooting an 1887 before? Or do you waste your time every day hiding from sunlight in your mom's basement?

Don't like it, sell it. Suck at it? Stop complaining. It's really as simple as that.

[jeseth]

Killed by a camper once, shame on the camper. Killed by a camper twice and shame on YOU for being stupid enough to walk to the same spot again.

Camping is part of any FPS game, especially COD and BFBC2 style games. Stop complaining. It makes you sound like you aren't a good enough player to outsmart a camper.

[Corepred4]

so if you get killed by a camper. by your logic, that part of the map should be permanently blocked off to you because there is a camper there? thats retarded.

[0mega4]

i dont think were ever get back to a game like cod4 mw where it took a lot more skill to be good at the game.

this game looks like it will be just like the experience was with mw2
yes it was fun to try out all the new stuff but the way people exploit the things in the game will make the online multiplayer experience not enjoyable

just dont put commando in the game so i have one less thing to gripe about

[Cevapi88]

you do realize i was just giving a suggestion...and no camping isnt a part of every game...when you play a game of sabotage...there is an objective you need to complete...and its not to boost your K/D ratio...you're suppose to work as a team and accomplish a goal

[jeseth]

whats retarded is that you couldn't comprehend what I said. If you get shot by a camper in MW2 there is usually 2 and sometimes 3 other ways to get the angle on where they are camping.

If you keep running to the same spot to get killed then you are just an idiot.

Modes like domination, TDM, search, demolition are filled with camping. "Camping" is a pretty effective form of team strategy when coordinated. Complaining about it just makes you sound weak.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

The only bad thing are the Campers, hope in this game don't have the Perks like the Commando, which is something Noob.

[SonyPS360]

@conloles

Looks like Activision aren't completely retarded.

Hell, they tricked millions into paying 20% more the full price of any other game and then charging them for DLC.

Keep eating it all up, people. It's only encouraging them to milk you for more money in the future.

[bunfighterii]

That was the RRP. You're a fool if you pay RRP these days.

[Rumor]

RRP means RECOMMENDED RETAIL PRICE

[Yi-Long]

...It's Activision. They'll just ruin the whole thing again by DLC-scamming their customers.

[rdgneoz3]

Whats that? $15 dollar map packs 2 weeks after the game releases?

[SpaceFox]

At least they release DLC. I'm a fan of BC2 but I can't believe that DICE hasn't released any real NEW maps. This entire VIP thing is complete bull. I would be completely willing to pay $10-15 for a large map pack for BC2, it just got boring after so long playing the same maps.

[PotatoClock]

BC2 Vietnam.

I'd rather wait and get a massive pack like that with quality maps.
Not a quickly released tiny DLC designed to milk a game for what its worth, with rehashes of old maps and pay quarter the price of the game for it.

Good things take time.

[SonyPS360]

Agree with PotatoClock, BC2 is better quality and the publisher isn't trying to milk you for money.

[SpaceFox]

Except Vietnam may as well be a completely different game. It's set in a different time period, with different vehicles and different weapons. BC2 needs some new modern maps, heck even a classic map pack with BC1 maps would be awesome.

Plus, BC2 Vietnam comes out in Winter. If DICE doesnt release some new maps to keep people entertained until then, almost nobody will give a shit anymore.

And btw, it has nothing to do with time. DICE has already said there will be no new maps multiple times over Twitter.

[TheFreak]

EA/DICE are after your money too you know. Hell they are charging money for new uniforms and weapons, the weapons is not new even. You get 4 weapons you already have with new camouflage. That is just wrong

[xAlmostPro]

DLC is optional

[Shoko]

There shouldn't be any "additions", because that word implies that it's the exact same game, with a few new things added to it. It should be it's own game, a new game, not something revamped with new improvements. (unless it's a remake of course)

Show me changes. Show me revolution. Show me the next level. Don't keep giving me the same crap with whip-cream and a cherry added to it.

[BiggCMan]

very well said. +well said bubble.

[ActionBastard]

They're additions to Black-Ops MP, what else could they be called? It sounds as though you've lumped all COD gameplay together.

[mrcash]

lol I agree, but very few games actually revolutionize.

[mastiffchild]

Shoko-I agree with you entirely. ?the template spawned, engine and all, for COD4 is now being milked dry and little things like these are all you can now expect. It's possibly seen all the bigger improvements done and now tweaked modes and gimmicky weapons(which is what smiley sights and remote controlled effin cars seem like to me!!)are all that's left. Personally I even felt the Nazi mode in WaW were a bit of a lazy cliche that anyone else would have baulked at putting in-was that REALLY imagination? Zombies? Again? You spoil us!!

What we'd reeally, really benefit from would be actual effin vehicles and, most importantly, less lag and more players-but getting the market leading shooter in 2010 to use the witchcraft of dedicated servers would be far too much like, you know, actually improving the sodding game for Acti to allow it!! So we'll get more lag infested games with short sides and migrating bloody hosts while Activision shout "premium" at us like a mantra in the hoe we believe it-and sadly too many appear to do exactly that and bend over even further for them every single bloody year. Have we so little pride? Would it really be any hardship to stick with last years game until they mae a real improvement this time round?

To me the killstreaks are getting tiresome and overpowered(always seemed a weird design choice to reward those already doing better than the other players. Sure they CAN turn things back in your favour but usually they just rack up more kills for a dominant team making it less of a contest than it already was)and that's been the case since WaW, imho.

Sadly, though, we wanting new things and real changes aren't anything like the majority. Devs and publishers make most cash from safe games that amount to little more than yearly updates. The shooter equivalent of fifa/Madden where the biggest changes are to teams squads-though here it's different uniforms and settings for practically the exact same game. Same sweetie, different wrapper. That's all we're getting and most of us lap it up like good little gamers content to pay whatever it takes to be part of "it" all.

Most gamers just don't care about lag, care about "new" or change. The people caving different experiences are few and far between in real terms-just look what happened when GG decided KZ2 would control differently. COD fans said the controls were broken purely because they didn't WANT tro learn something else. Face it-we aren't the voice of gaming. It already spoke and it said-"Same again Mr Kotick". So, either enjoy your whipped cream and glace cherry pointless features or find something else yourself because most gamers are quite content paying to play almost the same damn thing year in, year out. Depressing for some of us-but that's how it is and how well Activision know it too. seriously, do YOU see dedicated servers even coming back to PC let alone being brought to consoles? That one thing illustrates perfectly just how little they care about our gaming experience. A thing which gives them more freedom to give us a better game, closer to how they imagined it and they still won't do it to cut costs. there will be NO decent changes to the template and we all know it-whether we like it or we don't.

Theybwon't show us revolution because it's a risk and they know most of us will buy their yearly update without even thinking about it as we march ever closer to COD MMO subscription land. On P2P, no effin' doubt. COD is still good, don't get me wrong, but it isn't as good as it was and the COD4 magic is on the wane fast-but now buying them is habit Acti have gaming by the balls.

[Blaine]

to you.

[vickers500]

There's not a whole lot left to revolutionize. Most everything has been done to death. Blaming a dev for not revolutionizing these days is f*cking stupid. The only games that I can think of as of recent that have been unique are LittleBigPlanet, Heavy Rain and ModNationRacers. That's it. The vast majority of games today just improve the already awesome formula (Uncharted 2, God of War 3, etc). None of those games innovated, yet they are some of the best games this generation.

Please tell me how CoD could revolutionize? Better yet, tell me how ANY fps could revolutionize the industry. All CoD can do at this point is get slightly better graphics (they can't really get THAT much better if they want to maintain a 60fps framerate), dedicated customizable game servers for consoles, and massive maps.

I definitely agree they are too lazy and uncaring to bring dedicated servers to their games, but my point is that there isn't much to be improved on in CoD.

If you want something "new", then by all means, throw your ideas out in the air. Create internet petitions demanding all these new ideas you have. Spam the CoD boards with your new ideas just to get your message across.

You see the reason why the casual masses are eating sh*t like CoD up, is because they don't know that they're getting ripped off. They've never heard terms like "dedicated servers" and frankly, they don't give a sh*t. If they find it fun, then that's all that matters to them. They know or give a crap about gaming politics. They just want to sit down, and play their game.

Other than the 3 games I mentioned earlier (Heavy Rain, LBP, MNR), no other games have taken actual risks.

[dillydadally]

@vickers500
Please don't ever work in the game industry - too many people there that already just don't get it. I can think of literally a hundred ways to innovate FPS's.

For example, I have yet to see a FPS that does a really good cover system - it always switches to 3rd person, which ruins the idea of a cover system because you can see the enemy when they can't see you. Killzone gave a nice attempt but it can definitely be done better. CoD could revolutionize by doing this, or perhaps by having online tournaments built into the game, or perhaps by showing you daily and weekly and monthly stats instead of just all time stats, or a million other ways I can think of!

If you want innovation, just look in the forums for these games. There are literally hundreds of great innovations being begged for by players (Amidst the ridiculous amounts of pages of "Mor gunz pleaz! I like big esplosions!")

When CoD4 came out, it innovated the heck out of the FPS and all the copy cat's came out of their hiding (including unfortunately future CoD games). You think that was the last innovation ever in FPS's? No! The problem is games just copy what's successful until its milked dry. I guarantee there's a lot more innovation in the FPS area. Halo Reach is innovating with it's matchmaking features and voting and some of its game types for example. I'll bet Respawn Entertainment will have something incredibly innovative when it comes out (they didn't want to make MW2 at all but were pushed into it by Activision).

My point is, don't excuse the lazy developers that just spit out reiterations or copies every year just because it works sometimes. They're professionals that are paid big bucks to be innovative, and it can be done.

[vickers500]

Online tournaments are already there, just organize them yourself. If you can't put together an online clan match/tournament match, then you really don't care that much about it in the first place.

And you said something about a cover system; please elaborate how they could have a good fps cover scheme. I'm not saying you can't do it, I'm just asking how you think it would be done properly. The only way I could think of would be pretty useless (you actually take cover and don't see anything beyond what you're looking over unless you actually peak out, not a full field of view like all these fps cover systems these days).

But besides the cover system and the online tournaments for idiots who don't know how to do something so simple as to set something up, what other innovations could be added?

You say there are hundreds of suggestions. Name 10 really good ones if you can. If you cant and you're just going by the "there has got to be more ideas out there" rather than actually knowing that there is out there, then you can't really speak on the issue. But go ahead and name at least 10 really good ideas, I'd love to hear some.

Matchmaking by the way, is not really revolutionary, in fact, it actually kind of sucks, and I'd rather have dedicated servers.

Not adding anything new is inexcusable, true, but they are adding something new. Not new in the actual sense of the very first idea ever like it new, but new to the series kind of new. A theatre mode is a much welcomed addition, and while I don't think an RC car strapped with explosives will be exactly fair and balanced, it IS new. At least new in the sense of nothing like it existing on todays consoles. Also the weapon and holographic sight customization (clan tags actually on the guns, and different shapes/icons for the red dot site), those are a few new things.

They aren't revolutionary additions, but they are new. And they still haven't announced everything yet, so we cannot judge at this point in time. But as previously requested, post 10 really good idea innovations, because I'm not going to scour the forums/article comments for some innovations/revolutionary ideas that may or may not exist.

[crzyjackbauer]

that rc car bomb is just going to piss people off

[bjornbear]

looks great in concept, but if people managed to abuse things like nukes and knives, they ill sure as hell abuse RC car bomb

my problem with these games isn't the game itself, its the community.

and the communities that infest COD games nowdays ruin it for everyone else. its just a matter of time before people begin abusing the game

[Nike]

...Is actually taken from Frontlines: Fuel of War, except you have a greater variety of drones in that game.

[Shoko]

Lol, who are the 5 people who disagreed? You people must be those mindless blind sheep that idiotically buy every single FPS that you see every single year. But thanks for the disagrees - they show me that Im ownin people's minds.

[TheGameFoxJTV]

They are huge, you look like Will Smith, are you his son?

[SpaceFox]

Dolphin diving is an "awesome addition"? Wow IGN, wow. It's what nearly ruined BF2. Big ass fail on Treyarch's part, like big_silky said, gonna be exploited to death.

[SonyPS360]

Dolphin diving is the most retarded thing to exist in FPS. It didn't nearly ruin BF2, it DID ruin it.

[crimsonfox]

Still looks fun to me.

Plus Treyarch hasn't disappointed me with any of their DLC. I just wanna see the new zombie mode stuff already, cant wait for some split screen time with friends.

[NotoriousWarrior]

Campers Haven

All that trailer showed was a more friendly camper game.

and as some people said it seems to be more of a DLC than a full game. Games like Uncharted franchise and others have to improve every aspect and make sure that there is something unique and different to the previous game to get high interest and scores but for some reason all COD has to do is show you a few new maps, a toy car bomb thing and you are good to sell 10 million copies.

[writersblock]

Well, if you put it that way, yeah

Thats complete BS

[dkgshiz]

Perks and killstreaks are really getting out of hand in COD. Good thing Im not buying them anymore.

[crzyjackbauer]

what do you expect its treyarch
just a copy paste job
OH look cool smiley face red dot! yeah like mw2 needed that

[drewboy704]

A Huge genre in Gaming, The sports genre is basically the same every year with new "additions" and they seem to get better. It has to feel familiar in order for players of previous Cod games to hop on and get reused to the new game relatively quickly. New experiences are great and all but if you're gonna change things completely around make a new game and don't continue the series. Or make it a spin off or expansion to the series.

Black Ops looks great though. It looks newer and doesn't have that "thing" (not sure how to describe it") that MW2 had. It looks paced slower, more tactical but more fun in the long run. The trailer actually kind of reminded me of a hybrid between a DICE game and a Cod game.

[Freshnikes]

if you dont like it dont buy it...this shiy right here..i said this shit right here...is official....and zombie mode...day one buy....

off topic...boycott madden its garbage..backbreakers on my ipad is better then madden11

[crimsonfox]

not into madden, don't share that hate(don't play those games)... but on COD PREACH!!!

[theonlylolking]

Dicing will take place of sprinting. Press the LS or L3 button and you dive instead of sprint.

[liveActionLeveler]

It can't be because when he uses the ballistic knife, he sprints right before he double stabs the second guy.

[theonlylolking]

That is because the guy didnt select diving. He chose sprinting.

[STONEY4]

Ugh. The thing that made COD4 great was that the multiplayer was fresh and was different. Now every friggin shooter game HAS to have perks, unlockable attachments, everything's a clone. And every new COD gets progressively more stale, noob friendly, and worse maps in multiplayer. The only thing getting better is the single player, which, believe or not, the majority of the people just skip it and go straight to multiplayer, which is a shame.

I blame Activision. I'm almost 100% sure that they're the ones making them use the same EXACT multiplayer formula. Heck, Infinity Ward even said themselves that Activision felt like COD4 was a huge risk and wanted them to change it. Now they won't get off the same formula. Hypocrites much?

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Is there anyway I can contact Treyarch and ask them to remake in HD Call of Duty 2? I want to play the best call of duty game ever made in HD.

[Freshnikes]

this shit right heeeeeerrrr...is epic whats wrong with killstreaks...whats wrong with carepacks...whats wrong with crowsbow...whats wrong with zombies...hmmmmmmmm nothing absolutly nothing ..if you want real war game play cod4..no1 is stoping you..this game looks fun i wanna have fun with a shooter and thats what im getting with cod black ops..this game looks fun..better yet yall want realistic games..join the army they can use a few good men...

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Lmfao.

Killstreaks are for noobs. Every single gamer playing Cod this generation has become a complete noob.

Want to kill that guy over there? Okay sure thing, get three kills and oh look at that, you now have a carepackage that will give you whatever killstreak you want. You want to have 30 plus free kills? Get a chopper gunner! There is no skill required what so ever.

Call of Duty dammit can't you even tell by the freaking name? Answering the Call of Duty. Not this bullshit where you become a super soldier and kill people by randomly firing a sniper rifle calling it a no scope.

And I love how you're telling me to join the army. Because I want to go do that rigerous training and go out and get myself killed? No, I want to play a fun balanced game that takes skill and doesn't give out kills for you like you're a baby. Have fun with your noob game.

Edit:
Oh yeah, and if you're gonna say anything about "haters" try to get some good grammar at least, it was atrocious reading that.

[STONEY4]

Freshnikes is the reason why the FPS industry is becoming stale. It's not about the game not being realistic. It's that the multiplayer is almost EXACTLY THE SAME, and honestly most of us people don't have $60 to spend on yearly games like COD that don't do much different from the previous one.

My favorite FPS is Counter Strike Source. No killstreaks, no unlocks, no gimmicks, it's just one of the most pure-fun FPS games made. And it's not realistic at all apart from the recoil. And it's not filled with a bunch of prepubescent who think it's the cool thing to talk about your mom and call people "fags".

[BuIIetproofish_]

I don't think I'll get Black Ops(99.9% sure), but I have to agree with you. There are plenty of real war game if you don't want an over top experience with lots of weapon customization. I hope you're not trolling. I will say Activision needs to go fuck itself with something sandpapery for release the same franchise every year. WaW was a reskin of 4 and BO will be a reskin of MW2. A "World at War" add-on for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and a "Black Ops" add-on for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would have been a better move.

[Freshnikes]

like i said before join the army...or better yet the navy....now you checking my grammer..get a fucking life this is a gamer website..not a fucking english quiz teast idiot..stop hating on killstreaks and noobtubes...every fps from 2006 upwards got a noobtube...this is wat u do ..find a real boring fps...thats really really boring and play it....aint you late for you world of warcraft party...yeah handle that

[Blaine]

but the noob-friendly ones make them anti-personnel weapons, with lots of noob-friendly splash damage, for those players who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

Good FPSs make them anti-vehicle weapons--in which case it's fair to call them RPGs ("rocket propelled grenade", not "role playing game"...) instead of noob-tube. In good FPSs, a RPG is an extremely impractical anti-personnel weapon.

[mastiffchild]

I don't agree with his methods or his way of spelling things out but I don't think you're grasping why some of us feel COD is becoming a rip off. Do you honestly think the new things in this article are anything like as good for the next game as adding something real like dedicated servers or making sure, unlike last time, that there have been enough tests in QA and beta terms prior to release. That they actually spend as much on development as they do in brainwashing us with marketing. the list goes on and the fact remains, and it IS fact, that every time we get less new stuff , they put in less effort and we pay more.

If the cut any more sodding corners the series would rll off on it's bloody own at this point and I, for one, don't like to see my fellow gamers being conned and the leading shooter in terms of sales and revenue not using dedicated servers across ALL platforms is nothing short of a disgrace that Acti should be made we are all aware of. Would it kill you to, say, stick with MW2 for a few weeks post release of BO in order to make a point that you know they aren't giving you, a loyal fan prepared to buy a game per year in the series, a fair deal?

Do you honestly believe they're doing enough to release virtually the same game year in and year out with no technological improvements to a basic issue like lag? To a basic issue like having the game work out of the box because they actually did their own testing rather than making us pa to do it?

I don't dispute you have a right to enjoy whatever game you want. i'm not saying I don't enjoy COD myself, I do, I just won't buy the games while I feel it's detrimental to the relationship we have with publishers as greedy as Activision as I think we make a rod for our own backs. We need to stand up to them and it has NOTHING to do with how much fun you have with the game as the fact is if they did things right you could have better fun and, just as importantly, newer fun rather than mere tweaks and them getting by doing as little as humanly possible to justify the price at retail. Which, I add, they'll probably put ju, shouting "premium" at us while games with a fraction of COD's profits offer us dedicated servers as standard.

Killstreaks, though, I DO feel have run their course and they more often than not, just hammer home the dominant teams advantage. I just think it's got to the point where giving a further advantage to better players makes the game less playable and less fun-whether on the giving or receiving end of an airstrike etc. Wouldn't you rather have a change this time with dedicateds and actual vehicles in the MP? It's the way they're getting away with giving you the SAME fun every time with little effort yet charging even more that's wrong with all this-not that you like the games as they are. It's not that at all as there are other games for those who actually dislike COD anyway. It's the dangerous precedents being set by people blindly buying the series that worry some of us.

[KingKiff]

I love your comments and bubbles up to you.

But having said that don't you get tired of trying to prove a point to these brainless children?

Most wouldn't even read your comment, no matter how correct or informative it is.

Sad but true.

[evrfighter]

Mastiffchild is one of the very very select few of console gamers I do respect. But I don't really enjoy reading the really long comments. I'll be honest I don't read them half the time.

Back on topic. I'm just about convinced cod doesn't cater to the hardcore crowd. I honestly am beginning to believe the casual crowd is going to be running the gaming market here pretty soon.

The casual gamer has claimed call of duty as their own.

[Blaine]

cock? You know... to fuck people up?

Not a chance in hell I'll be playing this game though. I steered clear of the first two iterations because they were too noob friendly for my taste (auto aim up the ass combined with 1-2 shot kills, shooting through walls, camping, OP exploitable perks, kill streak bonuses, etc.) but now they added even more noob tools: camera and more explosives, to name a few.

I sincerely hope fans of the series are happy with it, but I am personally not interested. That being said, every mp FPS NEEDS a replay save feature. Bragging rights!

[big_silky]

Ubi needs to release a new Rainbow Six Vegas and show these kids how it's done: no perks, no killstreaks, no noobery, just pure tactical combat. I would consider the casino map alone to be better than anything CoD has ever done.

[Blaine]

then R6:V will remain the noobest mp FPS out there. Seriously, an FPS that lets you see around corners while safely being in cover, you think that's tactical?! I think it's noob-friendly and camper-encouraging.

Take out the TPS cam though and we'll talk.

[Jaybronee]

All you guys bitch about COD but I bet that I'll see you in line at Gamestop wearing dark sunglasses and a trench coat with COD:BO in hand...

[JeffGUNZ]

ahaha amen. I know, these people on this site hate and hate on CoD. I personally enjoy it greatly.

Listen people; Some people enjoy it and others don't. Just because you don't like the game doesn't make it right to call people who enjoy it idiots and noobs. Some of you sound ridiculous. All my friends online play CoD and we have a fun time doing so. Isn't that the purpose of playing video games, to have fun? If someone has fun playing COD, then that's awesome for them. Stop hating on this game you haven't even played. I usually prefer IW games over Treyarch, but this game is shaping up to be a nice addition to the COD series.

[SpitFireAce85]

its hard to revolutionize the FPS genera.What else do people
want in a new game.New maps of course,new/more weapons,
better balancing between kill streaks/weapons,dedicated
servers on consoles would be great.The controls on COD
games seem ok gamers usually don't complain about that.
the need to award people for not camping more points for
a kill if you stand around less the 5 seconds in a spot.

Ps.When people say a reskined version of MW2.Well someone
had to make those new maps,weapon skins,change up the
killstreaks etc.And i believe Treyarch supports their
games better then IW.

[chad22hkd]

And the paid advertising comes rolling in?

[NonApplicable]

Wow it looks like COD is trying to punish submachine rushers even more... sigh.

[jetlian]

sure do complain a lot. most people think camping is gonna be worst in this one. And hate that the RC is a 3 killstreak. Now to someone with some sense that statement sounds off. How can you camp when an rc can force you out?!!!

They are giving you the tools to face campers head on. Same with the new guided missle!!! if you can't fight campers with those you NEEDto play something else

And for all the people saying revolutionize whats halo,KZ,crysis and rage bring new? only semi new type shooter is brink with free running stuff

[DrillaKid]

I really hope theyve removed Tactical Insertions since people only use them to boost for killstreaks. Also is the Nuke in this game?

[Hades1337]

All these additions should make it less of a fragfest and more of a tactical game that requires a bit more thought. No one knows if these new additions will worked, so lets hope that they bring out a beta (unlike MW2 which is still unbalanced).

[Bolts]

Seriously what is the point of this game? There isn't any graphically improvements and the gameplay is the exact same game as the first Modern Warfare only with new perks. For fuck's sake offer something that is actually new. Like maybe dedicated servers for the consoles.

With any other shooter franchise they'll be the laughing stock of the web but just because there's a CoD brand on it the game is now an insta hit?

[JeffGUNZ]

Call of Duty was never a game for graphics boosting. People play it because it's fun.

[gypsygib]

FPS games have needed a dive/roll mechanic for a long time. Very cool!

[abhisheksagi]

Black Ops has Chopper Gameplay?

[BubZ-SkullY]

This game is looking good...a mw2 remake?? maybe buts its looking gd none the less and about half a million people are gona buy it on day one...

Everyone always complains about these games...nooptuber....camper... transporter bitch (commando pro)..

At the end of the game everyone has done one of the above...i have..Whenever i go into a game and get noobed more than five times do you know wat i do?? no i dont rage quit..i take out my noob class and join them..fuk there shit up and show them how it feels to get noobed.

Commando pro is truly a stupid perk..but hey if its there why not use it? its not goin anywhere...it hurts me when they use it on me..but its fuckin fun when i do it to them...either way someones gona do it..

Campers are pricks...well the ones who solely camp the whole game...hell i've camped when i have my 6 killstreak and i wana get my harriers..fuk it i run into the nearest tall grass, corner, hole, anything so i can get my harriers...i know nearly everyone has done it..so if you complainin about it just remeber your a hypocrite

The only people i hate are nuke boosters..cos that is just top noobish..i only have two nukes and i have never boosted for them.

My motto is if you cant beat them join them!! and Camp or be killed!!
so fuk it if ur gettin angry, it aint me, and fuk it if it happens to me serves me right, but i'm gona do it again...its a fukin cycle...and you think treyarch or infinity ward care?? hell they kno people will buy it..the know they are gona get their 1billion dollars or so...people will still buy it until the day that prick decides its gona be a paid online service!!

my biggest complaint to cods on consoles is peer 2 peer. from reading another article its clear to me aqctivisioon has no idea or tryarch about servers.
heres a copy paste of what i read.

http://www.1up.com/news/cod...
Lamia also said they're working on bringing some of the console matchmaking features to their dedicated servers, while maintaining the customizable nature of the dedicated server experience.

matchmaking on a server witch i PRESUME will not be region locked. so if say i was in uk .9/10 the servers will find the strongest ping .that be in america. so there for i still beleave we in EU will still get some delay.or bullets not registering.for this to work they need to beable to region lock the servers.
also i like to hope they not shareing the same servers for all formats inc 360 and pc and ps3. as gonna cause havok

[Emmettcelticfan]

its gonna be like micro machines with all the explosive mini cars driving around

[SuperbVillain]

I'm not buying this game.Sick of buying the same game all the time.

[-Judge_Fudge]

i lost all hope for a COD game when in MW2 a care package could make you run like you were on speed so you can stab guys quicker..i just dont care for them anymore becasue im far too busy being delicious

[xAlmostPro]

when will people get a grip?.. "COD SUCKS BECAUSE MW2 WAS GAY"..

yeah infinity ward messed up big time, yes activision charged to much for DLC..

but thats no reason to suddenly say EVERYTHING COD sucks be it cod4 or any future releases, if anyones a sheep its you guys jumping on each others boners lol..

i think this looks waaay better than mw2, and infact mw2 is a good game at base BUT infinity ward messed it up by being lazy aka not removing tactical insertions & not making noobtubes replace your 1st perk.. but thats infinity wards fault for allowing it to go like that & the players fault for still using them not treyarchs..

theres tonnes of cool things in this, and alot of work gone into it..

new single player, co-op campaign, new location/era, brand new customization & perks system, new weapons, new equipment, new moves(diving & theres a roll in the trailer somewhere), theatre mode, new zombies will be coming, guns have a new look to them in comparison to mw2, dedicated servers(for PC garunteed)..

and they have announced it will be closer to that classic COD feel(most likely meaning cod4/waw..aka none of this noob friendly mw2 crap)..

oh and if you look ALOT of problems are instantly fixed.. no thermal scope, no heartbeat sensors, no nukes, no tactical insertions.. so thats eliminated boosters(people will still try but without a tac it'll be hard) and should remove some campers.. or atleast they wont have as much of an advantage camping..

yes you can say that camera spike will help people camp.. but think its only watching one direction, it removes your radar so you cant see uav or enemy fire, and most likely it will fail if you chuck a stun/flash at it.. so its hardly an overpowered tool.. i mean i'll probably use it in snd.. plant it near the bomb.. do my usual running about & if im still alive i'll know theres a guy planting..

so to be honest when you take a real good look at blackops its way better than mw2, even if its not amazing or revolutionary, its still gonna give us back that cod shooter we actually did like at one point.. or atleast a more acceptable version that doesnt have a main focus of helping the less skilled player

OWESOME game is OWESOME, and if you are finding it to be the same old Multiplayer, i hope you have seen HALO REACH.

[RememberReach]

No thank you.

I don't understand the hype for this game. This, like COD5 and MW2, is just a new coat of paint on COD4. Now, COD4 was an amazing game, but the two that followed were horrible in my opinion. Camping is so highly encouraged and rewarded in the game already, and now they add a CAMERA to help you camp?

I'll pass on this one.

I'm from the PC side of FPS gaming.

Although the CoD series are one of the planet's best selling and most popular FPS games to ever hit the platforms, I can feel excited no longer about the new releases.

After MW2, which is probably the best installment in the series, set aside the flaws in gameplay, copious amounts of exploits and so on -ATVI and IW ruined the series as a whole for me. They bled it dry.

They also did, although most likely puppeteered by ATVI, ignore huge amounts of of their CoD fanbase and casual players, favoring one particular platform.

Unless Treyarch has learned from this, and ATVI can let go of the MW2 model in terms of the PC platform's IWNET solution and provide highly improved support, I won't be buying this game.

[hiredhelp]

well my money be going to a game id have more fun in playing.or perhaps a move controller and navigator be good investment.

1. commando-a knife stab is greater that a bullet hole in the chest(i am forced to use slight of hand to combat the runners/stabbers.) the greatest joy is catching these scrubs from a distance and pumping them full of game lead. they could shoot you first, but they run at you like an idiot.

2. p2p connection-i can deal with all of the nonsense including commando, campers(i camp too) if activision at least did hybrid p2p/dedicated servers like killzone. i hate running around a corner only to get snapped back like a rubber band is attached to me to be killed by a guy with 3 bars while i have 4 bars(a three bar connection is equivalent to 150 ping in a room of 70 ping)

3. killstreaks that include aircrafts or choppers-i love them and hate them at the same time. there are matches when i only die from harriers, ac130s, choppergunners, and still have a relatively good kdr(mines right now is 2.16 and 1.29 win ratio-psn southpaw79) i hate getting punished because of poor teammates, but love killing the other teams less than skilled players to crank up a good ole ac130. please only allow 1 in the are and have the opposing team's kill(air)streak cancel out the other teams aircraft.

no one sucks at COD because its easy and its for nuuubs, Thats why everyone plays it duhhh. Thats why not many people play fighters online because its to hard duhh. The more people playing a game the easier it is. The masses arent going to play a game if its hard and all they do is die and get no kills.

Thats where COD and it eazy noobness comes in.

[TheRebelliousHater]

The game can be really fun if people play fair. So make the online balanced and fun. Try to make less lag appear in online then this game could be pretty fun. But if activision starts to pull their BS then I'm over with cod. Anyways there is Grand Turismo 5, Halo Reach, and LBP2 in the horizon.

Complain all you want about it...fact is you will probably buy it...yes there were MAJOR flaws in MW2 and this is bound to have some too..my hope is it will take what IW/MW2 did and make it better AND listen to their community/fanbase..just look at what Gearbox has done with Borderlands...One thing they need to come up with is "the 5 year old gamer filter"
