Surely with that "Elite - Diver" thing you'd notice if you killed someone or not by if you got points for it?

Far too much rubbish on that list for me to find it believable tbh.

If they went back to COD4 but with the ability to stack KS's and removed Martyrdom it'd be near perfect.

I really don't understand the logic behind the developers. Surely they read forums and see what people do and don't want.

Not sure if I'm reading this wrong or not but it seems like this is going to be the equivalent to Last Stand... Only you'll think you'll have killed him when you actually haven't?

Bad enough someone going into last stand but now w won't even fûcking know it!! Christ!!

Not sure if I'm reading this

"Elite – if Diver is active – You realistically fall into your feign death instead of diving."

wrong or not but it seems like this is going to be the equivalent to Last Stand... Only you'll think you'll have killed him when you actually haven't?

There's another game ruined if that's the case :rolleyes:

Is anyone on MW3s facebook page? 90% of comments are people complaining about COD and the develops dont seem to want to listen

iLikeWaffles · 23-04-2012 4:40pm

Sounds like the perks that will be in mw4...

Thomasheen · 23-04-2012 5:48pm

Im not even goin to bother reading through that entire list. It looks way to over complicated for my liking. Just gimmie a gun and marathon. If they removed perks and killstreaks altogether I wouldn't even complain

aw man, COD4 got it so right and its just gotten worse with every game, I love MW2 but because of the guns, maps and the overall feel of it, but its still got too much bullsh1t in it, MW3 even more so. COD4 had uav, an airstrike and an attack chopper, and that was it. the choppers were a bit of a bitch to take down as you only had rpgs instead of stingers but they didnt dominate a map like the newer streaks do.

instead of piling MORE crap into the games they should strip out the unecessary stuff. and go back to gun on gun.

Agreed - Just got 2 choppers in a game of COD4 there. Combined, they killed 3 people! I got a total of 27 kills which means that 24 kills came from the end of my gun. COD4 Killstreaks (choppers & planes) couldn't hit a barn door and it's what made the game great. They were not game breakers like they are now. ALL MW3 pointstreaks are overpowered game bores.

At first I liked the idea of support streaks as I'm all about taking down air support and objectives, but instead noobs are using them just running around as they know they'll get their advanced uav/stealth bomber/emp combo eventually even if you're dying every few seconds and getting 1 kill at a time.

any ground war game will eventually get to the point where you have multiple osprey drops, emps, stealth bombers and the like constantly coming in and it just wrecks the game being bombarded with stuff.

I'm at the stage now where my most effective setup is just having a uav as an assault streak and hardline, and no other streaks, you can keep the map lit up (well aside from assassin pro users) for most of the match and just rely on your gun instead of streaks.

Just the right amount of rubbish to make me think it's legit.

klose · 23-04-2012 8:06pm

List is definately bull****, too many oh if used with x perk blah blah..

Also, i havent looked em up but the guns sound very modern/futuristic. Now I know black ops dosent have to be a direct sequal and it can just indeed be Black/covert operations in todays times but id wage itll be cold war era stuff again.

klose · 23-04-2012 9:26pm

6. Diver – You can dive into cover (A.K.A. Dolphin Dive) – and while diving you can still shoot, however when you land it takes awhile to regain focus.
b. Pro – You crawl 2x faster
c. Elite – With Extreme conditioning active – You can sprint while crawling to crawl faster (3x) instead of getting up.

Imagine how funny that would look :pac:

Hopefully, and assumably (imo) the perks wont be too drastically different bar removing second chance and rejigging ghost and maybe a few other small bits.

-47/10

Jev/N · 23-04-2012 9:37pm

The one reason that makes me think the list is fake above all else is that it's way too complex.

COD is not supposed to be overly intricate and is aimed at being an arcade-style FPS. Most of the perks are unlikely to change much than what has gone before, bar a couple or so

_Gawd_ · 24-04-2012 2:49am

Treyarch have made the jump and leapfrogged Infinity Ward - Black Ops 2 will be set sometime in the future leaving the Cold War days behind. I think we're looking at 2025, folks.

Crazy stuff. But such a drastic move was the only thing that was ever going to pull the franchise up from the bootstraps...

baldymac · 24-04-2012 7:53pm

how about you only get to use your killstreaks twice in a game. like you can only get 2 predator missiles, as good players and campers can easily get 3+. so if you are limited with only 2 surely it would make the game more intersting knowing you must save it for the right moment. may also stop campers to some degree.

so once you use up your killstreaks your are only left to play the objective, as you cant camp for another pred missile ie playing DOM all your are left with is capping or just going for kills but getting no killstreaks. but maybe if you play the objective ie capping etc this is only way to get to use your killstreaks again

Screetshot from Callofduty.com, links directly to FPS Russia's video on it. And as we know Vonderhaar is on close terms with various Machinima directors so its possible Treyarch asked FPS to make the video.

Yeah, Pro Russian dropped that video on YouTube before the pic was un-blurred today. Now, seeing as that drone is not in the field yet and could potentially be used in the future - we shouldn't rule out BLOPS2 being set 15-20 years from now which is what I was going with.

Have you also seen the t-shirt he's wearing? TACITUS.

Tacitus will definitely have something to do with BLOPS2 - "probably an evil corporation set in the game" as Woody puts it. The modern guns that was spoken about fits in nicely with the future setting too, definitely not Cold War IMHO.

yimrsg · 26-04-2012 1:19pm

My first thought when I saw that concept art was Halflife. I just hope that you can kill enemies by flying in to them with the quadrotor.

That would hav been savage in MW3, even if it only did the damage of a pistol bullet for each hit or somethin, chasing them would be great craic!!

Dyin to know what new killstreaks there's gonna be!!

_Gawd_ · 28-04-2012 10:11pm

I'm not going to let myself get roped into the hype again this year. I'll hold off until probably next Spring or Summer and listen to what people said about it before jumping in head first. I feel like Activision robbed me with MW3/Elite business - BLOPS2 would want to be the second coming of Jesus Christ before I give those sour c*nts any more of my money.

It's still not confirmed that this next addition to the franchise will be "black ops 2".
1/5/12 is when we will all find out and hopefully see a trailer for ourselves.

Any idea if the plot will be a continuation of the WaW, BLOPS storyline? With Reznov/Mason?

Yeah but he got all the way to the end of BLOPS1 despite the notable handicap of being dead.
So I wouldn't write him off just yet.

Looks like a rifle with an IR scope to me. And bad graphics.

Treyarch are not renowned for their visuals - it seems they have one art designer and he only knows one colour - brown. Forget about gameplay for a second, I think IF always produced the game that was easier on the eyes. I remember MW2 wasn't all bad for what it was....then BLOPS came. It was such a drastic step down graphically I can still recall everyone on here in total confusion as to what they were looking at.

IF was using IW4 or something for MW2 while Treyarch continued with a modified version of an earlier engine for BLOPS - it showed. That's my opinion. Expect two colours in this game - brown and black.

klose · 30-04-2012 10:59pm

I dont get the point in releasing that image, dosent rope ya into the hype of it atall! Might aswell have showed a hallway image. Seems to show an Ir scope on a sniper, nothing new, nothing interesting. Still looking forward to the world reveal however..

Shifty Shellshock · 01-05-2012 1:33am

Judging the graphics from an up-close gun is fairly sad.
The trailer comes out tomorrow night around 1:00am our time.

Cod graphics are crap in comparison to other games anyway. I don't think many buy it for the graphics.

That's true, but at the same time, the graphics of Black Ops on certain maps were depressing!

BLOPs could have definitely benefited from a bit of colour, the art direction as a whole is just dull and washed out. For the most part the graphics on BLOPS (360) seem fine to me, it's typical COD stuff. The only thing that sticks out is when I see the attack Helicopter kill-cam, it's shockingly poor and like something you'd see back when the first graphics card came out on PC.
