Call of Duty: Black Ops II - General Discussion

Featured 19091 Views 451 Posts Xbox Software


As the the COD franchise gets milked more than a triple uddered cow we have the next installment in the series, Call of Duty Black Ops 2. Today we learned about the "leaked" perks so it wont be long before more information starts heading our way. A Google search brings me to this website that I'm sure if it's official or fan made, either way they seem to be obsessed enough with the game to be snatching up every scrap of BLOps2 info they can get their grubby little hands on. There's even a Facebook page.

As some of you may have noticed I have expressed my "feelings" on the COD franchise and that's mainly due to two things. 1 the horrible examples of human life that troll and abuse people during the online games and 2 being EAs money hungry attitude and how they abuse their fans. With that said I actually don't mind the game, I think I have been put off the online mode for life but the single player campaign still interests me. I kinda liked playing through the first Black ops game with my main disappointment being its duration. So fingers crossed Black Ops 2 has a nice and generous single player experience.

MMGN Review - 9.0/10

Hey hey hey. Don't diss the N-Town. [Shifty]

Good memories of it. (Headquarters, HC SnD, Domination etc. All crazy games, bro)
And the lag, the horrible lag. The only highlight I ever had was managing to get Dogs.

No, not from bots.

Christmas Newbs? :P

The lag wasn't that bad. Atleast not in N-Town 24/7 [MOG]
Post Christmas newbs, I think. [MOG]
January-February-March noobs? :P
Yeah, around there.

It was the best becuase @Yosho and I would also camp in one room while the rest of our team dies. 50/50 chance of winning or losing. [Shifty]
Nuketown is awesome. There's two preorder bonuses that are yet to be revealed as well.

Leaked zombie image?
Going to throw out a blind assumption here, but I reckon the new 4v4 zombies mode would be pretty much both teams fighting off hordes of zombies (obviously) and fighting for objectives before they turn into zombies themselves.

So for example, every 5 rounds there is a boss which drops essentials like Max Ammo and if you kill it your team is allowed to shop from the armoury or something..

Another mode would be your typical 4v4 but this time the teams are on two seperate identical maps.

What happens in this mode is that zombies will spawn every second. If Team A kills a zombie, 2 zombies will spawn on Team B and vice versa. Once the zombies hit a certain limit (like 300) then the other team loses (or if they simply die).

Sounds good to me LOL

New interview with Digital Spy:

www.digitalspy.com.au/...
Activision applies for ‘The Roman Numeral II’, other Black Ops 2 trademarks

Activision applied for several U.S. trademarks this past week related to Call of Duty: Black Ops II which is scheduled to be released this November. The trademark applications include “The Roman Numeral II”, “The Future is Black” and “There’s a Soldier in All of Us”.

I guess just marketing trademarks

EDIT: Another update

Black Ops II – Treyarch Respects Your Play Style, More on Audio Design For Competitive Gamers

Treyarch’s Studio Head Mark Lamia discusses improvements making their way to Black Ops II’s sound design and how your play style will be respected in the highly anticipated multiplayer.

mp1st.com/...

Basically, he said there is a lot of effort being put into the audio design. So we're going to see an experience that relies quite a lot on audio. I always get a bit paranoid when I play CoD on mute because I'm scared I'll miss the sound of the grenade rolling or something. But it rarely makes a different. Improving the audio would certainly make for a better experience imo.

A lot of effort into the audio.... and a lot of effort into the single player story by the looks of this!

Trent Reznor and David S Goyer. Getting more and more excited for this.

Nice. I'm noticing more people are interested in the story than has been the case in previous years.

Also, new multiplayer trailer set to be revealed:

I'm hoping the interest of the campaign will follow through with the actual campaign being good

Well the hype is really no different to the campaign hype we've had for CoD games every other year LOL :P
But there's always hope comrade!
Black Ops 2 will be "one of the first interactive experiences where you get to make decisions that affect the outcome."

Ummm.... [Shifty]
Lots of leaked info.

Wow!

Where'd you get that from? I'm going to post as news as an "anonymous source" :P

You can now make a class based on how much equipment you have, rather than having to choose stuff you don’t ever use. For example, it is possible to have 6 perks if you choose
to not carry a primary or secondary weapon (you will have just a knife). If you choose to pick a primary gun, it will say you need to replace one of those perks. If you don’t like any perks, you can add more features to your primary or secondary.




Live Streaming – Black Ops 2 will now have a live streaming feature built right in. You can automatically stream your gameplay over the internet easily. You would require a
camera though for the feature that shows your face. This may or may not work with Kinnect.



Dedicated servers – Black ops 2 will now feature deticated servers, so now you wont have to worry about host migrations when someone leaves the match.


Sounds great!

Going to post this in news :P
I came across this by accident. But posting news on my Galaxy is a real pain
