Nice to see developers, even ones going head to head, unite and fight together. Well done Treyarch.

for real i mean the gaming industry is so hostile its unbelieve all the way from publisher devs and even the gamers/fanyboys

those parents who thought gaming was a kiddy thing would defo change there mind if they seen it at the level we do

I haven't seen a single quote on MOH. they just talked about what they do and what their story is. It's just an opportunity to bring up the name of Black Ops in a MOH contest.

Soccer peeps are more hostile http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I'm really curious about this game. Passing from one developer to another doesn't always bode well for a intellectual property. We may well be see a foreshadowing of things to come with Halo and 343 studios.

Edit double post waste off a bubble =(

Treyarch generally seem like a bunch of nice people and a very down to earth development team, even though they've generally been shat on by people for not being Infinity Ward. It's a shame too, I remember at one point even Infinity Ward themselves were being very rude and insulting towards Treyarch as well.

I hope they do well, especially since IW nearly murdered the COD franchise with how bad Modern Warfare 2 was, and now it's down to Treyarch to attempt to pick up the pieces and try to save the franchise. Black Ops is looking pretty decent, as is Medal of Honor.

bubbles this is soo true

[socomnick]

You think mw2 was bad lol cod3 and waw were far worse.

[CernaML]

Don't think anybody really cared about Call of Duty when 3 was released. And I thought WaW was better than MW1. Well, the multiplayer was at least.

[NarooN]

CoD3 and WaW were way better than MW2. If you think MW2 is good, then you're nothing but an explosive-whoring, commando-riding, camping scrub. MW2 holds your hand more than any FPS I've ever played, ever.

A very good move Treyarch. IMO Treyarch is shaping out to be a very good studio and I think their fan base will grow a lot with the upcoming Black Ops.

[na-no-nai]

way to go to stick up for your fellow devs

[vhero]

Its not like COD ain't been controversial is it? Especially with the mall level from the last game.

[Brixxer600]

Good stuff

People should remember that you can also be on the team that are shooting the Taliban , some people might enjoy that even more.

[StitchJones]

I tip my heat to Treyarch for doing that. Very cool of them.

[napster619]

you have a taliban ''SKIN'' only in multiplayer and it actually means nothing.
in story line/single player you rape'n'destroy muslim scum.so whats the problem?

[UP]

I am pretty sure you do not rape in that game. That would be a death sentence for the game. And you are killing taliban members not all muslims.

[napster619]

I did not mean rape literally ;)
I will kill all muslims that are in the game,doesnt matter taliban or not.

[wallis]

You sir, are a racist douche. Next time you feel tempted to share your thoughts online... don't.

[UP]

I will back them as well as long as Danger Close and EA does not do something retarded and tasteless like being able to use women and or children as bombs or anything like that (when playing as the Taliban). If they do anything like that I can not support them.

[napster619]

@UP ''(when playing as the Taliban)''
playing as taliban??! you will not be able playing as taliban in campaign.

''retarded and tasteless like being able to use women and or children as bombs''
they are doing this in real life so why not in the game?!...they are savages,open your eyes!

[UP]

in multiplayer if there is a perk or killstreak where you use women and or children as bombs I can not support them.

[UP]

Yea I know they are savages they are very evil. I just can not support a game that allows people to do that. I am fine by witnessing it in a game not participating. But as long as the game is good and there is none of that then I will get it. Also read my past comments to see that I am no fan of the tailban. Read other peoples replies to them to see I was somewhat blasted by some people by saying they were evil.

[wallis]

I can't help but notice you have repeated your racist douchery again, it is so amazingly douchbagery I don't know whether I am simply being thick and missing blatant sarcasm, if I am then forgive me, if not then please consider suicide as it will help free up space for people who have IQs higher than their age.

Also UP, Napster is not saying Taliban are evil, although as an idea it's included in the message, he's saying all muslims are evil and should be killed. If you agree with this then please see above.

[Karum]

Well done Mark Laima!

[tacosRcool]

I don't see why there is a problem with including terrorists in a game? Eminem should do a song about this!

[wallis]

Awww bless Treyarch, they are turning out to be quite decent. You know I really am glad they haven't gone and done anything completely retarded like leaving out a superb and very enjoyable game mode from their previous...

...ohhhh right, no nazi zombies.
