[CoD Black Ops 2] News and Discussion

I must say Black Ops 2 is down as a purchase for me. MW3 scraped the barrel for me but Treyarch are now my preferred pusblisher for the COD series.

Even on Bops which I sold after a couple of months I had more than enough playtime to justify buying it. Compare buying cod to buying a cinema ticket and you'll see real value for money.

I bought mw2 a few months after release for the princely sum of 25 quid (thanks dixons!) and still play it, thats 2 years of gaming for less than a round of drinks for a few people.

I hope for blops 2 they take out.....

heartbeat sensors
portable radar
motion detectors
bouncing betties/claymores (only use them on a sniper class)
bring back stopping power.
take the knife out of the game or have it like the knifing in BF3.

or make it two swipes to a kill, or one swipe if the guy is already injured from being shot.

Magill · 20-01-2012 3:55pm

2 stabs to kill, 1 from the back... i.e. cs. Would like it to be a different weapon slot so you have to switch to your knife aswel. Either of those changes would be good.

or if he is being shot he can't lunge forward to kill you

Yup, this or making it so that you have to pull out your knife first instead of instantly swiping I'd be happy with.

Vahn was tweeting about knifing sometime ago last year actually. Might have a look for his tweets later.

iMuse · 20-01-2012 4:40pm

1. Get rid of the knife entirelly.

2. Get rid of the knife entirelly and return to using your gun to butt someone.

3. Make the knife something you have to equip before you can slash it.

4. Have guns do more damage at "melee knife ranges" so that if you need a single bullet or two to drop someone about to stab you.

5. Create a "Knife Vest" as a perk or similar that protects you.

6. Changing the tuning of the knife to do variable, or half, the damage it does right now

7. Do nothing. We already nerfed the melee lunge/attack range.

8. Do away with the melee lunge entirelly.

These are Vahn's suggestions for the knife, number 3 is the best option imo.

It won't be too long before you will be able to download the COD multiplayer on its own off xbox live/ PSN on day 1, the campaigns are becoming increasingly irrelevant to me anyway.

Well when you look at the modern warfare series, they really do look like they could have been sold as dlc. Atleast the Treyarch series vary enough to deserve a physical release.

Any of the first 3 is good enough for me. I dont like the idea of a perk since that would just be a perk I'd have to run all the time. If there was just the balistic knife from blops that would be grand

Thomasheen · 20-01-2012 7:16pm

LoL Vahn just tweeted this.

Creasy_bear · 20-01-2012 10:58pm

also............only pistol/launcher secondary. Your secondary should only be pulled out in an emergency.

Spaming akimbo sh1t.

Meant to be a leaked video of the menu for black ops 2 floating around at the minute

FlapsOfDoom · 18-02-2012 8:27am

This is the video currently floating around displaying the Black Ops 2 Main Menu.

It seems believable because of the surrounding noise making it seem like its at a convention or something and the voice at the end saying "can't have the camera...".

Nuri Sahin · 18-02-2012 12:13pm

Can anyone remember if the leaked menu vid for MW3 was proved correct or not?

Yeah it was lies. This looks more of a IW modern warfare style menu. Pretty sure it's fake too considering Treyarch put work into Blops's menu where you could get up and walk around but then again this could be an early stage temporary thing

I liked the look of BOPS menu but there was lag that came with it for those on PS3 anyway PS3 XMB ran slowly as well as that of in game.

iMuse · 18-02-2012 6:16pm

This year, Activision once again plans to release an annual sequel to its popular Call of Duty franchise. In addition to the traditional console platforms, Sony claims that Activision's major shooter franchise will also debut for PlayStation Vita this fall.

Speaking to GameTrailers' Geoff Keighley in a recent video interview, Sony's new SVP of PlayStation brand marketing, Guy Longworth said, "In the Autumn, [my kids] are really looking forward to Call of Duty on Vita, and that's going to be an absolute game changer for the platform."

Longworth did not specify whether this Call of Duty title would be specially-designed for the PlayStation Vita, or whether it will borrow content from its console-based counterparts.

Should sell a few consoles, would be epic if you could play against ps3 players online on the vita.

Magill · 18-02-2012 6:18pm

I think there are quite a few cross platform games being released with it so its a possibility.. unless they have to scale back the game like with the wii version.

Don't really know how powerful the vita is.. i'd imagine its at least as powerful as the wii tho.

senordingdong · 19-02-2012 10:30pm

That just looks like the mw menu.

Dependable Secondaries

PointStreak System (it works)

Ghost Perk being nerfed (already been talked about a lot by Vonderhaar)

Akimbo being on Pistols only if there is Machine Pistols.

No f*cking dogs or Huey Helicopters.

What they need to do is to go back to basics...

Killstreaks are worshiped at an unhealthy level and not only does the most "tasty" one, the MOAB encourage camping as well as the rest - a huge amount of time and energy has gone into creating these crazier and crazier ideas these developers can muster up in the idea room. I mean come on - RC XD's and Recon Drones? FFS...all of the rest are overpowered and suck any kind of enjoyment out of the game that remains...

BLOPS2 needs to be purely gun on gun and let the best shooter win, not some camper that has hid for 10 mins and is now raining down chopper bullets and dogs....Forget these K/D ratios completely and enjoy the skill requirement going up. Instead of choppers, dogs, planes and any other gimmicks - pointstreaks should earn you only perks (much like Specialist). You get 30 kills - congrats, now you get a perk that fires baby kittens out of your ass, none of these AC130 type things that wipe out the entire map and decimate the match.

Every game mode needs to be what today is referred to as Barebones (with Specialist pointstreaks)...that's it, period. Take out all the deathstreaks - you shouldn't be rewarded for dying and ffs, no more last stand! :mad: If some ppl want to play in a match with helicopters, planes etc as killstreaks - designate a game mode to them. As well as a game mode for snipers only (quickscoping). No quickscoping in the main lobbies.

I also advocate Treyarch throwing in Summit, NukeTown, Firing Range and Castle for free in addition to the new 16 or so maps (small maps work best - 12 NukeTowns, 4 larger one's). Next, bring back WAR game mode as well as Drop Zone and Infected, Gun Game and One In The Chamber as standard public lobbies from DAY 1!.

zero19 · 01-03-2012 4:12pm

http://clickonline.com/games/black-ops-2-release-date-leaked!/7191/

Black Ops 2’s release date may have been leaked by French gaming website Fnac. In an advertisement on their site it listed Black Op’s 2 as being released on November 12.
This has since been taking down and replaced but the sneaky little boogers over at Gamepur managed to get a screenshot of the advert before it was deleted.

Not only has it been leaked on Fnac but it was also leaked onto Amazon France last month, that too was pulled from the site, but much more swiftly!

No one would buy that, the total lack of interest most people have in barebones should be a clue on that.

About time deathstreaks disappeared once and for all that (Last Stand included).

Only problem with having all those game modes is it fecks up the numbers playing on conventional playlists.

Thomasheen · 01-03-2012 8:50pm

I'd like a stat free mosh pit where people who just want to play the game can go. Maybe even no parties and both teams can hear each other just for a laugh

so is there anything you like about the game the way it is..? :pac:

chucktesta · 02-03-2012 1:12am

There was never any deathstreaks in Blops which i see a couple of times people hoping they wont be back, although there was final stand but i doubt well be seeing that again.

Personally im hoping it dosent change too drastically, perhaps a wider selection of shotguns and buuf, also a buff to some smgs. New maps but like in blops (BIggish) Nuketown will definately be in it at somepoint aswell

The only grief i have with the game blops atm is the sheer amount of second chancers playing its unbelievable!!

baldymac · 02-03-2012 8:23pm

what i would like to see when you are in a clan an parting up friends, that each us are all blue but id like to see each an one of us be a different color. so we know where johnny is (yellow) the sniper in our spawn, we know jack is (red) flanker left. it would be a lot easier to know where they are

AdamD · 02-03-2012 8:26pm

Maybe have an "old school" game option, with 3-5-7 killstreaks.. as a compromise between the two.

Also, it would be a nice tip o' the hat to all of the CoD4 players..

Nuri Sahin · 06-03-2012 2:28pm

Very few people will play a 3-5-7 mode like in BOPS, unless like I said with Barebones, there is an increase in points. Most people spend time ranking up and as quickly as possible. I don't want to be left in the wake of others who can get more points by chopper gunners, etc ie: regular gametypes.

AdamD · 06-03-2012 2:30pm

FAO the asshats that are making this game.....take out

heartbeat sensors
portable radars (which I actually use myself rushing)
claymores
bouncing bettys

Please make a game that doesn't let people sit in a room, whereby they have something covering their back. They do nothing but promote camping. Get rid if the death streaks.....fcuking dead's man hand

If someone is going 0 and 6, the next time they die, just give them a kill ffs. Change their score to 1 and 6. I'd prefer that than me dying because I win a gunfight? Death streaks = rage quitting. I was in a game recently...........a lad on my team was doing well. 14-0 (maybe) I was running behind him......he killed a guy and was killed by dead man's hand. Left the game instantly, I loled but it actually isnt funny at all. Take the things out of the game.
I'm really looking forward to black ops 2 because I think this time treyarch will get it right. They will sort Ghost and last stand.

other than that black ops is a better game imo.

rant over.

iMuse · 10-03-2012 12:20am

Why do people say get rid of deathstreaks? There was none in Blops and won't be any in Blops 2. Im sure treyarch will look at some of the good things added in MW3 and Vonderhaar has already said they will look at changing ghost and getting rid of 2nd chance.
