RUMOR: New Call of Duty Title and It's NOT Named Black Ops 2?

Jason at the Gamerplex said: "For the past few months, we've been hearing rumors of a possible confirmation of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Most notably we have heard from an Amazon France website which caused a small stir of events between GameBlog and Activision as well as Activision purchasing the Black Ops 2 domain."

Call of duty: Black Ops: handheld Ops

Super subtitles FTW!!!!!!!

MysticStrummer4817d ago

No matter the title, it will most likely be the same old game.

Tai_Kaliso4817d ago

This is such a common misconception. The core mechanics are always going to be the same, its the same with all games. Why would a successful developer up and change what millions of people are used to?

People are also under the misconception that they are using the same old engine which used Quake coding, this is not the case. There is absolutely no Quake coding whatsoever in newer COD games. Hasn't been any since COD4.

The games have constantly added new and improved things, host migration, killstreaks, weapons, perks, game modes ect..

The problem is that so many people play the games, that there is bound to be exploits found, some people just have the need to cheat and find these exploits.

Why complain about a game, just find some other game that you enjoy and play that instead. There are tons of people that do enjoy COD.

TekoIie4817d ago

I think the reason people dont like COD is because its released every year with minimal change.

Although when we look at the jump from MW1-2-3 there are no less changes than any other new game that comes out. Its just that the differences from MW1-WAW were almost non existant.

But if blind fools fail to see differences in MW3 and black ops then you shouldnt comment. They are both COD games but both feel very different and play differently.

Tai_Kaliso4817d ago

I don't think that is entirely true. I believe people hate on Call Of Duty simply because its popular.

Why waste time on something if you don't like it?
Assassins Creed comes out years and nobody bashes on that, all sports games come out years and I've only ever seen people bash on Madden.

There are two development teams on Call Of Duty, they are both on two year development cycles, just like Uncharted, Gears and most other games that come out and spawn sequels now days.

GraveLord4817d ago

There's no reasoning with these trolls dude.
They got some mental problems.

Kran4817d ago

Of course it wont.

Black Ops was a sequel to WaW when you think about things. So why would you name a second sequel "Black Ops 2"?

Fylus4817d ago (Edited 4817d ago )

Because of the popularity of the name. When a young casual gamer sees the name "Black Ops 2", they're gunna be thinking, "Another Black Ops, F**k yeah!"

That's the unfortunate thing about casual gamers these days.

Sucitta4817d ago

they could name this game Call of Duty Super Special Amazing Edition with More Guns More Bangs and Bigger Boobies and it would still sell 10 million copies.

They could even just take COD4 and call it COD6, change absolutely nothing but the text in game and some of the color scheme and again, it would still sell millions.

Kran4817d ago

Name a CoD that has boobies.

Sorry; name a CoD that has one single female character.

ACBAA4817d ago

way better with a different name

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

P_Bomb38d ago

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville37d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer38d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

Deathdeliverer38d ago

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

babadivad37d ago

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.

Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.

Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.

fsfsxii135d ago

If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.

Gamingsince1981122d ago

It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.

SoloGamer1134d ago

thank goodness we dodged that landmine 😒
