    you say that now but you'll prob still buy Bops 2

    Not this time. I usually have COD pre-ordered at this stage and have for the last four years. It's not that I hate the games for no reason, it just hasn't given me anything to get excited about this year. I just don't have the motivation to go in and fork out 60 quid. I know that might not mean much to some people on here, but it is money that could go towards something that you're going to get something out of.

    On another forum, I was in the crowd that was saying to the others "ah, you're missing out" twelve months ago. And then MW3 hit and I realised, maybe they weren't too far off. Even the big Youtube people that earn money from this game have said MW3 left a bad taste in peoples mouths. I haven't played it since April and I've no intention of. I've actually disconnected my XB and play BF3 solely on PC.

    MoH look like they're brewing something good up and I'm far more interested to see what they've created as opposed to something I already have in my bottom draw already. But I'll still come on at launch night to see how you guys like it. :)

    NO doubt the megabitch threads will be going up pretty quick thereafter.

    I aint played MOH since the old ones back in the day, I think on PS1, maybe PS2. Cant remember the name of the last one I played.

    For some reason I don't think I'd enjoy the new ones that much tbh.
    MOH Allied Assault ?

    How have I never thought of this?!


  • Registered Users Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    I've little to no interest in it this year, might pick it up after launch if its good but no midnight launch or pre-ordering for this one, buying the hardened MW3 was a waste of money, I played a handful of the dlc maps and didnt bother getting the last two drops.

    If Blops 2 is actually good then I'll pick it up, happy days, will watch the love/bitch threads for a bit after launch, which is half the fun of the launch nights watching people lose the rag over things and applauding others :pac:

    Ditto. Maybe not rent it right away, but I will eventually rent it at first.

    I think for the first time I might pre-order a cod game,I've always gone into tesco a day or two later and go it before.And the funny thing is I've little to no interest in the multiplayer.I've not played Mw3 since june I think bar the odd private game.
    All I want from black ops 2 is le zombies!
    I dunno I'll have to think over this

    I was the same. There's a good few DLC maps I haven't played. Found when they released Terminal it just made me realise how much I missed MW2 and went back to that. Hardly played MW3 since.

    Whats the crack with Elite with the Care package & Hardened Edition ?

    ha I was the same, got Terminal thinking itd make me play MW3 more, but they messed up the spawns so much I just went back to MW2, it even looks nicer on MW2 imo, I think its a better looking game than MW3, theres actually some colour in it.

    You can put your jewelery and barbie dolls into the care package. Fairly handy.

    I can honestly say, disappointed with the zeds trailer. Then again, you cannot really put the fun in a video.

    Zombies Reveal!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,649 ✭✭✭Not The Real Scarecrow


    I was on the fence about picking it up at all, but after seeing the new trailer, reckon I'll definitely be getting it. looks like a rip off of left for dead , but that's not a bad thing .

    Is that an Avenged Sevenfold song playing in the zeds vid? Kinda sounds like M. Shadows

    Those character/zombie models look sh1tty. Jesus i thought they would have advanced atleast a little bit in the time they had.

    There's very little they can do on current generation consoles.

    Theres no point in having half the team working on a new engine when we'll be switching up in a year or so. Having said that, I think you're right. The COD games have looked pretty ****ty for a while. They use the consoles are their primary system. DICE have always put PC over consoles and their Frostbite engine looks gorgeous. Treyarch/IW need to develop for the PC primarily. Whatever way that will cross over to consoles is anyone's guess but the have to change the engine up sharpish.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,748 ✭✭✭rolexeagle1


    the money is in consoles so development focus will stay there... sucks

    You can get Camos for the Assault (riot) shield in Blops 2. Gold assault shield?

    Major buzzkill about the game is that awareness is just like sitrep pro in MW3 and has no counter. It is far too OP and makes S&D unplayable as all people do is sit in a corner. Basically if you don't have a good headset your fcuked.

    It most certainly is. Not actually a great song from them to be honest and I'm a big fan. It's available to download on iTunes.

    Yeah I agree, I like a lot of their previous work, but this song just isn't doing anything for me. I like Elena Siegeman on zombies better.
