Black Ops II NDAs lifted - YouTuber impressions

Ok so I plan to play this hardcore.. Some how I never played BLOPS but I have mw3 but I haven't played it in months. IS it worth playing MW3 now for practice or are they too different to help?
 
I went out and pre ordered mine. It will be the first cod game that I purchased. I rented the last 3.

My luck is that the multi will be broken on ps3 or something. I always looked at treyarch as the B team developer but after renting Blops last week and getting addicted to the multi I'm really looking forward to 2.
 
I'm picking this up on PS3 which is something I usually never do when it comes to multi platform games.

I played MW3 on 360 for a while before trading it in. Later I had that COD urge to level up and shoot pigs in the face so I picked it up again but on the triple as I had let my gold account lapse and I was pleasantly surprised with how good the PSN was at handling the netcode etc. (I have played a load of games online via PSN but had heard that the CODS after 4 were pretty shitty on PSN)

Sure the game looked a little worse and the 360 live feature set isn't there but still, pretty good.

Looking forward to the release!!!!!
 
Question: Does Black Ops 2 still have modes similar to wager matches? My favourite game types from BO1 was Gun Game and Sticks and Stones.

I believe that there are a collection of games under the party moniker that include One in the Chamber, Gun Game, Sticks and Stones, and maybe one more. No CoD points to wager, of course.

So, yes.
 
Do the Shock Charges stick into the ground until someone trips them? Are they like a tactical/stun version of a claymore/bouncing betty type of weapon?
 
Do we know what type of anti-cheat will be in the pc version? Playing MW3 now, almost every game has someone botting.

Is Sharpshooter (I think that was the name) back? Random guns every few seconds, loved it.
 
First official shots of the map loading screens. Nice art and attention to detail as always. Plenty of variety in the locations and appearances as well.

Looking forward to Drone for it's supposed mix of long and close engagements with a surrounding jungle setting. Also Turbine as videos have already shown it to be reasonably open, plus it reminds me of Afghan in MW2. Standoff looks to be a WW2 era COD throwback which probably isn't a bad thing from a layout perspective...

Still slightly apprehensive that the earlier leaked beta images had the word 'CQC' in 12 out of the 14 descriptions, but we'll see.

I think Cargo will be the go to map for me

Just feels right

Get such a Shipment + Wet Works vibe

Looking back, I think BO1 has the greatest ratio of maps I like to maps I don't like
after World at War
. From vanilla BO, the only map I don't like is Havana and WMD. Array, Summit, and Jungle are my favorites. My only complaint about the BO maps is that sniping (in the proper sense) is only viable from a few choice spots on most maps.

I hope Treyarch decides to bring back some old maps. It's always been a fantasy of mine for them to port the entire WaW collection, though I don't know if automatic weapons would break them, and also the color palette would have to be updated.
 
I skipped MW3 but i'm super excited for BlOps2. Can't wait to try out the pick 10 system and the maps look solid, but then again Treyarch > IW in the maps department.
 
It would be nice for some Snow and Rain on a couple of maps but most of them are looking interesting. Curious about Drone, Plaza looks nice too.

I can't wait. BO2 is my last pre-order game, did all my purchases already and this one will be the last for this year at least. Hardened Edition too since I love that Steelbook case.

Despite having both PS3 & 360 I will get the PS3 Version.

just a quick FYI on Black Ops on the PS3.. It was horrible. Yes it was playable it worked as advertised however there was noticeable "lag as I call it" I mean it kinda looked like frames were missing compared to the butter smooth 360 code.

When I played on PS3 I was always like 25-13 or something due to the "sluggyness" on the 360 I was able to go 35+ with half the deaths.

What pissed me off most was when I went into a room and the game engine would pull me out and kill me... Never happened on the 360.

Also since this is the same engine "modified" of course Im getting this on 360 and Wii U and skipping the PS3 this time.

Great, even though Im running an Radeon 4830 I should be able to run it. Improved thread handling sounds good.

Yeea there is a name for that, bad framerate.

The "pulling out of rooms" sounds like a network/netcode problem. Only really played some KZ games online on ps3 and that never happend so its on activision and not psn imo

Hijack has me thinking of Airport. Looks awesome.
 
I really don't get why they wouldn't just introduce some difference in recoil to guns. The feeling of really knowing the way a gun handles and sprays is one of the most satisfying things about playing competitive shooters to me and the way CoD just turns it into holding your crosshair still on someone and pressing a trigger really turns me off to the games :(.
