Interesting, so they are trying out what CSGO did (minus the community servers).
I do believe them when they say they will have plenty of servers, BLOPs had like 800 official servers for wager modes.

I can't speak for all of them but at least one of those guys was using steady aim, a grip, and some sort of barrel attachment all of which reduce recoil.
Still don't know if I'm interested in BO 2 or not. It definitely doesn't seem as bad as MW3 but as my brother is buying it on 360, the though of going back to a competitive FPS without M/KB doesn't really appeal to me.
At least it looks better aesthetically. Express is the best looking CoD map I've seen. Some really nice clean colours.

Either Treyarch is lying or everyone in the videos have played long enough to know what attachments to put on their guns to make compensate for the recoil or have simply learned to adapt to it. What we have been shown have been carefully edited clips. They're at least two minutes long. Not entire matches. I don't think we should automatically jump to that the recoil claim is a lie.

Overflow seems to have a nice combination of medium/long and short sight lines.

Regardless of attachments you shouldn't be able to go full auto and still have most, if not all, rounds hit at medium to long ranges.
It would be great if the music in the game changed based on how well you were doing. It would possibly get to the point where you'd start playing to the music. I personally tend to do that in games. When the beat and rhythm gets really good I just seem play better no matter the game.

I'd be weary too of getting the PS3 version. I initially got Blops on PS3 and it was terrible. Not sure if it was ever fixed but I sold it like a month later. Disconnects everywhere and the frame rate was horrible compared to the 360 version.
Interested.... But the community since 2009 haa become such a cesspool to the point I dont think I can take it anymore.
Also treyarch porting black ops was a joke. It was an even bigger joke when they denied how bad it was on other systems.

lol, reading the comments seems like alot of pc gamers are mad about this.

I'm conflicted. This one comment at that article sums up what I felt about BLOPS 1...
Well looks like someone has started a petition already for the PC version lol
http://www.change.org/petitions/cal...ranked-dedicated-servers-and-the-full-control
I feel the same way. Luckily Party Chat on 360 has turned all MP games into pure silence over comms, for the most part.
If someone told me this is the best COD since COD4, I might bite. I'd hate to be a broken record, but COD4 will forever be my gold standard when it comes to console COD games.
I think that comment right there just convinced me that out of the plausible alternatives, BO2's probably the best.
I couldn't stand those types of servers, nor the fact that 9 out of 10 of them were 16-slots and a lot of BO1's maps were just a pain to play with 16-players. I have to admit, I want a more controlled environment when it comes to the recent Call of Duty titles, especially when so many unlocks/perks/streak rewards are factors.

Well, we'll see. I'm sure a lot of those in there are crouch-only jerkfaces.
At first I didn't know how to feel, but then I remembered the fun I had getting kicked from every server I played in because I liked using my spacebar. Only 1% of server admins are worth a shit, so I'll let this ride and see how it is. I'll miss my HCTDM EC servers.
I think it was Black Ops(which was the last Call of Duty I played on a regular basis) had a "part only" chat option. I enabled that from the get go and loved it. The only thing that was odd was having my friends talk shit one way. I never knew who or what they were talking about.
EDIT: Now that I think of it. Maybe I just always muted everyone. I think it's Halo that had the chat options. Man, it's been a while with either game.
Black Ops 1 was pretty bad on Xbox 360 as well, the framerate drops in multiplayer were extremely noticeable. Word at War hat horrible dips, too.
Just set your voice communication-setting in the online/privacy preferences of the dashboard to "friends only" - you'll never have to listen to anyone not on your friends list ever again. This settings works across all games and really enhances the Xbox multiplayer experience.

Not nearly as bad as PS3. My friend picked up the 360 version and it was like night and day compared to the PS3 version. I still remember napalm strikes bringing the frame rate to a crawl lol

I played Black Ops on the 360 for 2 weeks when the PSN went down and I don't remember there being much noticeable difference between the two. The slow down during Napalm being the biggest thing but thats hardly a game breaker IMO.
On second thought, there are some clear benefits and disadvantages to this system. The biggest negative about a game being solely-matchmaking is that it in a few years, this game will be unplayable. MW2 PC is in this state right now. The playerbase is so small that it takes waaaaay too long to find any game due to the factor they're divided by 16 playlists and several DLC packs. Even if you do find a game, the geographic disparity between players is so vast that lag will be a blatant factor. My fear is that by the time BO2's successor comes out, BO2 PC will go the route of MW2 PC.
At least MW3 PC implemented a server browser to ensure that when the matchmaking playerbase has dwindled, people will still be able to find unranked games. In the case of BO2, the playerbase will dwindle but then what? Will providing dedicated servers still be profitable for Activision or will they have to shut them down? Eventually, they're going to have to open the floodgates for rentals and enable a server browser. I don't think they'll do that though.
Ugh, I don't think I'll be picking up BO2 PC without some kind of assurance that two-years after the game is out, I will still be able to play the multiplayer and find games.
Separate tangent: Just thinking about MW2 PC however makes me mad because the video games press were just in crazy defense of IW doing matchmaking for MW2 PC. A lot of them cited, "Well, I don't want spend so much time in front of a server browser, I just want to get into a game." Well you morons at Giantbomb/1up/IGN/basically every video game site, the playerbase for MW2 PC isn't high enough to "just get into a game" anymore. Nice job defending IW idiots.

Why not? That "shit" is a fun distraction outside of the normal COD experience.
I saw fuck all in the way of recoil today at Eurogamer. People just firing laser rifles at each other is the impression I got.

The problem is that finding the actual normal COD experience becomes absurdly difficult. The same thing applies to Battlefield (800 ticket servers, 2 map rotations, etc.) and plenty of other shooters.

What's with all the proneshotting in all the vids I'm seeing lately? That shit is almost instant, where in the first Black Ops, there was kind of a delay.
Dropshotting, the auto aim for your opponent can't keep up.

What was left of Infinity Ward (after their 40+ departure to Respawn) along with Sledgehammer worked on the single player, while Raven handled the DLC, online maps and UI.

Because it sucks that 95% of the servers are infected, crouch-only, snipers-only and/or high jump. If you want to play regular Call of Duty, you have no choice but to use matchmaking.

Is it just me or is the game speed look even faster somehow than MW3? It seems like when they are walking, the speed they are moving is at like a fast jog. do not like this
I couldn't agree more. This game looks really fast, which makes me sad since one of the reasons Blops is my favorite CoD is the lower speed :/

So this is a mod of a mod of a mod of a mod of MW4?
Brian Fellows

It always looks that way in youtube videos to me.
Oh man. The maps look fantastic.
And forcing matchmaking and reducing choices makes it better? If you want a controlled standard experience, go play on consoles.

Will we be able to see our character model in creat a class like black ops 1?
I played one TDM and went 0 - 20, I had zero chance, spawned and was dead. Felt like a sucky version of a bad UT mod. Uninstalled it, will never look back.

Those are some wild assumptions you got there.
I never implied that, actually.
I own BLOPS on PS3 and this is the first time I heard the game is unplayable, I actually have played both versions and I always had a blast with the game.
I guess this is neogaf being neogaf
