[CoD Black Ops 2] News and Discussion

Disappointed with what I'm hearing about quickscoping, I usually find IW games are far more popular for the quickscoping so I'm hoping it be as bad as an issue in Black Ops II, but sounds like it will be.

The amount of complaining about quickscoping is unreal . They decided to add a trail to a sniper rifle bullet so the person sniping can't camp but they can quick scope and everybody is now having a right moan about it . They had to balance the game so everybody can have a fair experience so they decide to go with quickscoping but make it that a sniper can't camp which alot of them do . Maybe they should take out snipers out of the game to please some of the moaning because they can't seem to win what ever they do .

Accoring to the facebook page he will be outside the store 5 days before the midnight launch !

Purchasable after a while id say.

I was watching a livestream with one of the main game developers yesterday, Vahn I think, and he said it's a possibility but there's no mention about it right now. He said that it's not a matter of design, development etc. but just a business/marketing thing they'd have to discuss.

Saying that, you can be sure it'll be released eventually. Treyarch sure as hell won't miss any opportunity to make more money of COD players..

greenman09 · 11-11-2012 1:28pm

just off the phone to xtravison.they can give me 42e credit for mw2 mw1 fifa 13 and bF3. looks like i can get this game for less than 20e. im not interested in the double xp weekend as im not around so i just need to get my hands on nuketown after that.

Hey !

It looks like its going to be a good game but I think you should sit down and watch a video to see how you feel about .

Me either, feels weird not having seen much apart from trailers and a few mins of gameplay, was all over the previous ones in the run up to launch.

I'm wondering the same. This will be the first COD that I've gone into completely blind. Ive only seen that Nuketown video and nothing else. Hopefully I'm not disappointed. There seems to be some pretty good new features.

That seems very scabby from xtravision. they will be selling fifa 13 for 40 alone. why are you getting rid of fifa. thats surely a must have in every house

FIFA games have terrible resale value, anything with yearly updates does like WWE games etc. was in gamesotp near me last year and they wouldnt take any FIFA trade ins past Feb, no sale value at that point.

Oh interesting. I thought they would sell it easily as its new enough. I have no games to trade in against black ops 2:( Unless they want mw2. Started playing it last week for the first time in years. Forgot how much fun it is. Way less frustrating than ultimate team. Now where will i get money to buy black ops 2

Being a poor student is a great laugh:p

Ah man, I wouldn't do that if I was you....they're taking you for a ride.

MW2 and COD4 fair enough....but Fifa 13 and BF3?! :eek: No way E42....

This is a month old game along with BF3 that is not even close to the end of it's lifecycle. Disgraceful how these stingy f*cks can lure people in with such shitty deals. If I didn't have those games, I'd give you more for them ffs.

greenman09 · 11-11-2012 4:55pm

i never got into fifa. played it for the first week then it sat there since. years since i played it before this. they gave me 28 credit on it. and this is weeks after they only offered 20. few of the games i got rid of were only gathering dust.

Forget Xtravision....

You will get better deals online. Throw BF3/Fifa13 up on eBay or something...

If I was you I'd rent BLOPS2 to get a feel for it. With these recent COD games, the marketing hype is usually all it is. A few days with the game and it becomes repetitive anyway. Besides, you'll find BLOPS2 on the net for cheaper in a few days. If you can wait a few weeks you'll see mountains of them for sale by people that have gotten over the novelty and looking for a quick sale.

Nuketown and NT Zombies will be released next year as DLC...because the community will want it on the marketplace and Activision are a bit partial to making a quick buck as we all know.

No way! Actually I only played the BLOPs one when I lost Internet for a while but love MW2 one

Bit of a bummer. Lobby leaderboard isn't working at the moment so can't check stats and stuff anyways.

I think the sound is the same as blops. There is no "Sound Whoring" even with dead silence and awareness equiped. Treyarch games have always had inferior sound to IW games imo.

everlast75 · 12-11-2012 3:30pm

I know it shouldn't, but the fact that the sound when you ran in Black Ops was completely out of sync annoyed the fook out of me!

I loved how they tried to say it was to prevent soundwhoring, no, it was just sh1tty sound design. it was terrible, your footsteps werent in sync in the slightest it was just random running and equipment noise. compared to MW2 it was so amateur, which has brilliant sound design, like hearing the burnt out metal on blown up cars creak and the sound of your equipment moving around as you ran and climbed.

_Gawd_ · 12-11-2012 3:55pm

According to the Youtubers, the sound is a step above previous CoD's. Treyarch contracted in a top-notch audio team and they're saying every penny spent is on show in-game. But of course the commentators are biased so we'll have to wait....

I think Treyarch make better CoD games. IW are finished, Activision have already given Sledgehammer rough shot over multiplayer. IW will have limited input into the next title.

Mr. Manager · 12-11-2012 3:58pm

I've noticed the sound is a lot quieter. For instance, on Off Shore, when you're running it sounds like the riverdance or something with all the pitter patter. On this, I've not noticed any difference in sound from running on different surfaces.
