BLOPS 2

[Mac]

Anyone pick this up today? It's a HUGE upgrade from MW3 in my opinion. More colorful maps, scorestreaks, a big difference in guns as opposed to the same boring guns from MW3.

Biggest issue already is clans. My god going solo up against a team is a death sentance.

Well, I hate Strike Force more than dang near anything. Worst strategy game I can recall playing. Bot mode is decent, cheap deaths are not. It just kind of is what it is. Cool tech toys though.

No "Mercenary" TDM in BLOPS2?

I didn't look, but League mode looks interesting, it basically just matches you with players of your skill level after some try out matches.

So I heard, I was just trying to answer his question. If he's having problems getting pitted against nothing but clans, then play Mercenary TDM instead, where there's no parties or clans allowed.

Well it is kind of the same old, same old, multiplayer wise. The usual amount of campers and extremely cheap deaths that are a series staple by this point.

[AFN: Judge Shred]

yeah, those really were not connected thoughts, I should have started a new paragraph. I was just talking about a potentially cool feature. But who knows,might solve the problem too.

The Moshpit League, which is the one I play in is solo-only, or at least solo ranking only.

Ah, the same old. Nice. Oh well, you know what you're getting into at this point.

On the other hand, I hear the campaign is getting some praise points. Not the "OMGZ! BEST STORY EVERZ!!!!11!" variety, but I hear it's pretty decent.

Campaign gets props from me because they made it to be replayed! Something they haven't done since CoD4MW. It has score and minor stat tracking, challenges that unlock stuff. As you unlock you can replay missions with custom loadouts. If the missions were better it'd be awesome and it loses points for Strike Force missions just being crap.

I haven't even touched the Campaign or Zombies, but the MP blows MW3 out of the f***ing water. Hell, as far as I'm concerned, Modern Warfare 4 is already screwed.

Played 2 levels of campaign last night and it was pretty fun. I honestly don't remember the first BLOPS storyline too well but so far I haven't had unlimited enemies.

As far as MP, I only played Sticks and Stones. First kill was a tomahawk (never gonna call it knife throw) and I had the kill cam, tomahawk! Needless to say, I love this game for that reason alone.

How can you tell a new COD game is out?
There are no delinquent kids hanging around outside shops.

Well I thought that was funny when I heard in anyway...

I got the game early and finished the Campaign on Veteran in about a day, it's too easy but it has replay value to look at the other two different endings and such. I love the multiplayer though, it's better than MW3.

[Psy]

Waiting on the inevitable Steam sale before I pick it up. I will likely enjoy it for the same reason I like Black Ops the First... Combat Training. Excellent way to kill 20 minutes here and there.

Also looks like we've already found this game's Nuketown. Hijacked. Seriously nearly every match I've played has been on Hijacked. Makes me wonder why Treyarch even bothers with making big maps when all anyone wants to play is the smaller arena maps.

Might get this at the weekend. I'm one of COD's biggest detractors, but Black Ops was actually a pretty awesome game, so this one kinda tempts me.

Well, there is Nuketown 2025... Which is more like Nuketown.

Wow. I honestly thought Cargo was going to be the map of choice from what I've seen of the MP.

Does the computer still cheat on Veteran combat training? I used to love that in BO, used to go in with a friend, see how badly we'd lose

The killcams would show them aiming at where you were gonna be for ages beforehand or tracking you behind the wall before you came out! Was hilarious!
