    Its all about masks and the people that wore them, and why.

    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.

    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:confused:) 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..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭Stone Deaf 4evr


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭Stone Deaf 4evr


    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.

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭Stone Deaf 4evr

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,409 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,346 ✭✭✭✭Liam O


    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.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 280 ✭✭Yousef


    Perhaps merge this with the new thread?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭Creasy_bear


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,006 ✭✭✭Ramza


    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!



    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:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭Stone Deaf 4evr


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,068 ✭✭✭MarkY91




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,975 ✭✭✭iMuse


    5th of November is the release date.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,500 ✭✭✭ECO_Mental


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

    Customize your appearance in MP etc

    Ambiguous as fuck

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


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,397 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 22 WhoSaidWhut


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 227 ✭✭brijay


    I hope they show more at E3


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,663 ✭✭✭Cork24


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

    "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:
