The maps do look pretty good. Love how they keep pushing Zombies in interesting ways.

My one complaint with COD maps is the lack of new trophies. Glad they did it this time, though I was hoping they'd add some for competitive multiplayer.

On the PS3 side of things, they better release the map pack without the framerate issues I heard the first maps had

Danielmccue5103d ago

Multiplayer Trophies are game breaking and unfair to those without Xbox live/PSN access. I curse the day that they add multiplayer trophies to call of duty.

-Alpha5103d ago

If it's for DLC, it doesn't stop you from getting a platinum

Oschino19075103d ago

So your saying its still about the same as paying $3 for a McDouble off the $1 menu?

Dont understand how a COD map pack can ever be 10/10, 5/5, 100/100, A+/A+.

Raven_Nomad5103d ago

Well if you haven't played this new map pack you can sit there and complain, or you can just pay up and enjoy Black Ops just like it's a whole new game!

The zombie mode alone is well worth the price, I bet I have close to 15 hours in on it. Just so much fun and so different from the other zombie maps as a whole.

Tryarch has done a excellent job of creating content to keep you excited and the game fresh. I doubt any other game could remain as popular and have as many people on it consistently.

People need to stop whining and just get back to gaming!

execution175103d ago

blacks ops as a whole is crap, story was boring, online is full of camping glitchers, zombies loses its flare after a few playthroughs, treyarch as whole ruined call of duty

erasure2425103d ago

And people like you are ruining gaming... Quit complaining about everything like a spoiled little rich kid...

Jezuz5103d ago

I love zombies, It's just that the price of the map pack....

Oschino19075103d ago (Edited 5103d ago )

Hey if you enjoy being f*cked without a courtesy lick thats all you... I on the other hand find paying $105+ a year to play a half assed rehashed noob infested POS of a overrated game to be something i can not do and claim to be sane at the same time. I know many who stick by COD no matter what and they either bitch and moan about it 24/7 or arent good enough players to realize how bad the game is and how bad it f*cks you over.

And dont even bother trying to explain all the fun factors about it because outside of its large following it has nothing really going for it considering its the largest money making game around yet still is often out done by companies with far less resources. Maybe next time around they should focus on using that money to make a good quality game rather then a broken POS with over half its budget for advertising.

I agree execution17, after the first map pack in W@W i gave up on that bull cause of the constant zombie modes i never wanted, fun when you have nothin else to do or are drunk and cant play competitive but otherwise for noobs and kids. MW2 really let me down by over doing it with everything and Black Ops is just a worse version of MW2 with even more zombies. why dont they just make another whole game just for zombies so maybe COD can get back on track to being COD.

Exactly Vanderbeek!!! Loved you in Varsity Blues and the cameo in Jay and Slient Bob but could never bring my self to watch that tampon of a show Dawsons Creek...

sleepy35103d ago

and yet you seem to have bought every COD game even though you hated WAW.

The fact is, the game is a quick fix of fun that appeals to a lot of people. Its fine if its not your style and you rather maybe Crysis or Killzone, but the majority of people just don't.

And just out of curiosity, if you hate COD so much why do you keep playing every one and clicking on their articles? I cant stand MK, hence the reason i have ever bought another one since MK2, haven't played one since the awful MK4 and don't click on any MK articles cause i find the series is garbage. You should do the same. Stay away from things you cant stand.

James Vanderbeek5103d ago

for how much money they make on the acutal game these map packs should be free or 4.99.. 15 bucks for some maps is redunkolous.. and i aint poor i just know when i am being screwed.. simple math below..

not sure how much this game sold but rough low est..

10 mil copies for 60 bucks = 600,000,000.00

15 dollar map packs 2 mil = 30,000,000.00

wtf!!!!!!! break me off a 100k please.. lol

kyl2775103d ago

I love how every map has "lots of hiding places", sounds boring as f*** to me. i wanna shoot not get hassled by snipers 24/7

sleepy35103d ago

That's why i like forge. What i did in Halo 3 was remove every obstacle and just make a big empty room for multiplayer. It was big open square with weapons all over the place and nowhere to hide. i called it "the sauce" lol.

I'm actually surprised that shooters have yet to add a level editor seeing as Halo3 came out in 2007. The things forge are capable of creating are amazing.

xstreetsweeperx5103d ago

Its not that bad. Just your worst nightmare if your playing Search and Destroy.

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime73d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils73d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

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.
