No, no I got that very obvious point. Not sure why you thought I missed that. I was however making the point that they are playing of the imagery of the Spartacus tv show. No doubt a marketing ploy the get the attention of those they think will like the product due to the obvious violence traits both share. I think, perhaps, you missed that point.

There was like 20 different outfits there, only 2 or 3 of them looked greek or roman.

I think you're reading far more into it than what was intended.

gimli2112 · 02-05-2013 7:59am

Stopped playing Blops 2 months ago. Have so many games on the go at present it's untrue. For the first time I'm completley underwhelmed by the annual update. MW3 put me down and I think Blops 2 knocked me out. Not played any of the CODs for a while but if I did it would certainly be one of the older ones.

Can't see me getting this on day one release (fast forward 6 months and I'm first in the midnight queue at gamestop

) but will probably pick it up once the hype and the intenet persuade me to do so.

Just wondering, how do you get the ghost weapon camo on BLOPS 2, not that I'll do it anyway but just wondering since seen it all over youtube since yesterday..

Stone Deaf 4evr · 02-05-2013 10:36am

you have to pre order the game to get an unlock code I think.

Stone Deaf 4evr · 02-05-2013 10:41am

Slightly off topic, but I wonder how much time and money it costs to make the single player portion of these games? Imagine if that budget was set aside to make a multiplayer only game. The results could be epic if they could straighten out the netcode, give more player avatar customisation, more maps etc etc. Personally I'll typically play through the single player once just to check out the story, but after that it's rare that I'd go back to it, if ever.

Mr. Manager · 02-05-2013 11:33am

5 Call of Duties later and I've still not played the campaign...

From any? MW1 was really good, didn't like any of the rest. I only buy it for the MP but I always do the campaign at some stage

exactly - and I'd say you'd be far from the minority.

gimli2112 · 02-05-2013 11:41am

I think if they ditched the Single Player any money saved would just go straight into their account. It wouldn't be used to improve the MP experience. Call me a cynic.

Cereal you should at least try the SP.
COD : MW & MW2 were pretty good & Blops 1 had some very good levels.

super_furry · 02-05-2013 11:45am

Know what I'd like? A greatest hits of the multi-player maps from this generations CoD games. Just ship the game with 20 of the best maps from CoD4 upwards with the latest engine and I'd be happy.

None. I've played 1 part of a mission in a friends house. Think it's called 'Ghillie in the mist'. All I remember was picking people off with a sniper.

Since I started playing which was COD 4.

When you look at the people they hire for making the campaigns I think the multiplayer only costs a fraction of what the campaign does. They get reasonably well known actors, oscar nomininated writers and in the last game they had Trent bloody Reznor do the music, probably the most saught after score writer in hollywood at the moment.. It must have cost a bomb.

Liam O · 02-05-2013 1:07pm

MW3 really kicked the shít out of me. Blops 2 is my favourite multiplayer COD game though I think. Might just steer clear of all infinity ward games from now on and just pick up the Treyarch ones.

Yousef · 02-05-2013 1:35pm

Perhaps merge this with the new thread?

Creasy_bear · 02-05-2013 9:20pm

I hope they bring back the target finders and shock charges as they've been such an excellent addition to Call of Duty.

Ohh and I nearly forgot the massively overpowered secondaries.

KERSPLAT! · 02-05-2013 9:28pm

Sorry missed this. I'll merge them later when I get home, cheers

Ramza · 02-05-2013 11:28pm

Anyone see the video stating Deathstreaks are back? I think its a troll video or the guy making the video is being trolled, because it just seems a bit BS like to be true!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDh7uOuAR5U

HAS to be fake!

In fairness, the last five cod games, would have been better if they had just been released as dlc skin pack.

Agreed.

They should have just gave us W@W, MW2, MW3, BO1 and BO2 maps as DLC packs for COD4. Too much money at stake I guess.

Having said that, can you imagine the hype for a brand new COD 5 this year if we didn't have one since 2007?! :eek:

Stone Deaf 4evr · 21-05-2013 4:13pm

Only an hour or so until the new game is announced. I'm going to make an uneducated bet, and predict that the console will release on 13/11/13 at the same time as the new call of duty, which will be an xbox exclusive for the first month of launch, much the same way as the DLC is released on xbox first at the moment.

MarkY91 · 21-05-2013 5:03pm

iMuse · 21-05-2013 5:32pm

5th of November is the release date.

ECO_Mental · 21-05-2013 7:08pm

just finished watching the Xbox event and COD Ghosts looked good.

Customize your appearance in MP etc

KERSPLAT! · 21-05-2013 7:10pm

Missed it, anyone wanna fill me in? Xbox and CoD

Kells... · 21-05-2013 7:12pm

Looked the exact same as the past 3 reveals tbh,
Ambiguous as fuck

DaveNoCheese · 21-05-2013 7:13pm

I'm excited for the new CoD but dunno if I'll be disappointed or not at release!

Mickeroo · 21-05-2013 7:21pm

Was a pretty good trailer, not very much about multi-player but at least the single player looks like it could be epic!

WhoSaidWhut · 22-05-2013 9:15am

Could be the first COD I play for its single player as well!

brijay · 22-05-2013 11:46pm

I hope they show more at E3

Cork24 · 26-05-2013 11:48pm

Is it just me, or has call of duty failed to once again update their Engine looks just all the other call of duties

MarkY91 · 27-05-2013 12:47am

nice to see some new technology being put into call of duty...

krudler · 27-05-2013 1:07pm

"New" engine nothing of the sort after all:
http://www.thegamingliberty.com/2013/05/next-gen-call-of-duty-engine-not-new-confirms-infinity-ward/

The latest promo video for the title showed some really nice looking environments and effects, but are the next-gen tools like under the hood?

According to Infinity Ward’s animation lead Zach Volker, the engine powering Call of Duty: Ghosts isn’t “new” per se, but instead an “augmented” and expanded build of the engine used in previous titles in the franchise

They're really getting their money's worth out of that Quake engine :pac:

That's taking the piss a bit. I could accept the huge hit boxes this gen as there was very little they could do but on next gen it's a bit ridiculous. Infinity Ward are on thin ice with me after MW3 was a waste of money for me. Looks like I'll have to wait and see with this one.

modern warefare 3 a 18month year old game? only 15 euro in xtravision and cex

cod4 a 5-6 year old game? 15-20e in cex and xtravision

says it all really :pac: mw3 was probably the worst cod IMHO followed by bops1 every other was decent but cod4 and the previous cods before that were outstanding
i think with bops 2 they made a good push in the right direction ( or im just enjoying it anyway )

cod ghosts story looks good well from the trailer it looks like it could be fun but it hasnt showed us enough multiplayer to judge

but i seen bops2 multiplayer gameplay before it was released and i hated the looks of it
specialy since it looked more futuristic and graphics were going backwards
but i ended up buying 6 months after released (i normaly get them on release day) and i ended up liking it alot

so im hoping ghosts is going in a good direction other wise il just give up on cod and change to a different fps, when i traded in mw3 3 weeks after i bought it i switched to bf3 but bop2 brought me back

Yeah but its the same every year "oh if the next one isnt good I'm done" thus is the life of a COD player :pac:
