Call of Duty: Black Ops

I'm still going with a wait and see approach. Hopefully it won't end up like MW2 where in the beginning everyone says it's the best thing since sliced bread and about a month later everyone winds up hating it. I've also traded my copy of MW2 in.

That's what I'll be doing as well. I'll let the game get released and see what others say after a month or so.

I would also like to say that Modern Warfare 2 is one of the only two games I've traded in this generation.
 
Gonna trade mine in with BC2 and see if i can get some sweet cash off of Black Ops.

So, new classes, what do people have in mind? I've got a few I;m planning on using

Einfield w/ grenade launcher/flamethrower
1911
smoke grenade
claymore

Flack Jacket/Scavanger
Slieght of Hand
Ninja

AUG w/ red dot
RPG7
smoke grenade
semtex

Hardline
Slieght of Hand
Hacker / marathon

Skorpion akimbo
m1911 akimbo
flash grenade
semtex

Lightweight
Steady aim
Ninja
 
L96A1
M1911
Tomahawk <3
Ghost

I can't wait to get some classes in with the AUG and crossbow.

It's also in normal multiplayer.

I'm also looking at other stuff on digitalwarfare247, and looking for the tomahawk I saw that it was grouped with the frags, and it was like the throwing knife in MW2. But other stuff like C4 and Claymores weren't there. So by the looks of it Claymores no longer replace grenades, and they also can be picked up and moved. I haven't seen anything on Claymores being moved... then again I don't watch many gameplay vids on Black Ops.

Because IW don't believe the Wii is powerful enough or has enough of a shooter demograph. Probably the only thing IW have ever gotten right.

Ahah, I see what you mean. World at War is pretty bad; terrible graphics, awkward controls, they removed some pretty critical aspects of the game, and then there are only around 200 people ever playing at a time. Although it's still a little fun and I play it occasionally, nothing beats the "originals."

Forget what I said before, I'm probably getting a PS3 for Christmas (because I'm really hatin' the Xbox monthly fee >__>). The only thing that sucks is that I'll feel like I'm missing out since it'll be out for like 2 months, so I'm still getting it for Wii, just to say "I have it." XD

As far as Black Ops looks, AMAZING. Just saw the videos on the official site, and it's freakin' outstanding o.o
 
If memory serves, CoD: Black Ops is the first game I'm absolutely hyped to get in months. I just like how Treyarch has used their resources. I, for one, absolutely loved World at War. I was unable to get on Xbox Live when the first Modern Warfare came out so I missed that entire experience. After extreme boredom and frustration from shooters like Halo, WaW was a nice change of pace and I knew immediately I had found my niche in gaming. And the zombie mode was just to die for, 'nuff said. I wasn't really prepared for the fast paced gameplay of Modern Warfare 2 when it was first released, but as I learned to get the hang of it the game just became my escape. These days, however, it tends to bring more frustration than joy. When I look at Black Ops, I see Treyarch taking the good things (mostly) from their own games, and the good things (mostly) from IW and other shooters and simply making a beast of a game. This year in gaming has taught me harshly that many things have been overhyped, but this game just feels right. Like a game made for the fans to enjoy, and not simply to milk a successful series.

Anyways, that's just my two cents, and I'm still slightly worried. After all, I had a very similar feeling when MW2's release was coming up.

I wouldn't count Black Ops wii out just yet, after all Treyarch made a pretty decent cod4 port for Wii
 
Treyarch has stated they're taking an Anti-Quickscoping stance and purposefully gimping Quickscoping by making SoH not apply snipers. Not sure if this new news, but it was new to me. =/

Best news I've had all week. Nice to finally have a developer listen to the fans
 
You can still quickscope, but it's not as easy to do as it is in MW2. It's more like it was on CoD4, which was how I preferred it anyway

ie. when it took skill.

Don't get me wrong not all MW2 quick scopers are skilless nubs, but a hell of a lot of them are.

Thats what I was figuring. I didn't even quickscope a ton in MW2, but I'll miss the faster ADS on them.
 
12 more days >.< iv been counting the days since summer lol ima get mine at midnight at gamestop kinda pissed though i wanted to switch it to the hardened edition and it was already sold out >:O how dare they >=/ now im not gonna get the four waw zombie maps =/ hopefully its already in the playstation store as a addon with in that week ima get mad wins mwahahaha >=D :cough: o.o
 
I've heard that this'll have AI Bots for offline multiplayer, is this true, as it could decide whether I consider buying it or not (MW2 offline was ok, but some of the maps were a little too big for just 4 players)?
 
i see what you mean why would it be in the editions if it is gonna be in the store for download well i think it will be in the store for download but not for a while till they do it probably wont do it till they make the map-packs for black op's i mean the edition is for early access for the four zombie maps i dont think ther gonna play keep away and only the edition gets it and thats it i knew i should of went for the editions i just didnt care to want the extra rc car or badge and so on once i heard the four maps were in it i tried to switch but it was too late =/

Alex, where'd you find out about being able to use Create-a-Class in Zombies? I'm just curious because I can't find any of that info anywhere. :(

I saw it in this video a few weeks ago, which appeared to be legit. The annotation says it's fake though, somehow.
