I'll bet next gen COD games on console will just be the maxed out PC versions using the current gen tech.

I'm pretty sure there's only Russian and ROW versions
Yup at least until release day since Twitch always has a stick up their bum when it comes to streaming games before their official release.ThanksIs this like the new twitch or what?
Edit: And yeesh, I really do not like the announcer for the Mercs faction. It sounds like some guy trying to do a Duke Nukem impression. But since BO2 also has Liam O'Brien as a announcer, I suppose it balances out.
I wish this were the case - idtech3 was a very special beast, and 4 and 5 both had... issues.
Doesn't mean it can't be a solid engine, but given that zenimax controls them now, I don't see that happening.
More concerning to me is the probability that Respawn is using Frostbite 2, which doesn't exactly fill me with glee. That engine is good at a lot of things, but snappy 60fps gameplay is not it - though it's possible they're working on a game for the next gen consoles.
k, well I always skipped the Treyarch ones, think I'll keep it that way

I've skipped every CoD after MW4 and I'm still hyped for this one. I really like the setting.

Hello, I hate you!
LOL just playing, am jealous though! Looks nice, I have a Hardened at Gamestop and normal at Best Buy waiting monday at midnight. PUMPED!!!!
Are the coins anything or just like this games version of the medal from last Hardened Edition? Also are the codes for the DLC all individual codes rather than 1 catch all code? THANKS
ALSO Gamestop.com has the PS3 HE back in stock if anyone is looking.

People who try to shame other people for how they play the game are annoying. Whether you camp, run, use assassin, or whatever, I don't give a shit. You bought the game, play it how you want, and if I don't like it, I'll adapt or find a game more to my tastes.

The real question is if I should take Tuesday or Wednesday off from work. I'm leaning Wednesday so I can just OD from Tuesday on. I just feel like that would be better.

Take Friday off so you can drink that double XP nectar as much as possible.

Only one coin has a code on it,which you have to redeem at www.callofduty.com/blackops2ce but it's not working at the moment as I would have loved to download the score.
The rest of the codes are all individually printed on the back of a piece of paper.

I think that's less of an inditement of Frostbite 2 and more on the developers using it. If they want to dial down the graphics to hit 60FPS gameplay, certainly the engine isn't stopping them.
THANK YOU!
I'd do tuesday so you get it at midnight monday if you are determined to burn a vacation day haha.
This is my short week at so I only work wed & thursday, last year it was the other way around only off those two.
Where is everyone getting the game early from? I do know that my local best Buy got their shipment in thursday with a big box of swag to pass out. She wouldn't tell me what kinda swag though just said be sure to be here at 10pm to pre-pay and then can get the game at midnight.

The map at the train station where trains actually run through looks hot, so does the cruise ship and airport levels.

On Domination, the C Flag is on the train track.
Imagine capturing 99% of the flag and then a train runs you down. Genius.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Oh great, another one of these shitty all image OP OTs. Can't ctrl f anything. Looks like shit on mobile, too. Thanks.
Anyway, I planned on avoiding this one after my COD burnout. I didn't enjoy MW3 at all. But I'm getting drawn to BO2. The hype is getting to me.

So... I've played an 8 v 4 today and a 7 v 5 and i was on the lower number team both times. WTF.

Would be okay with me. I'd rather have a Full HD, locked 60fps and MSAA multiplayer game than one with far prettier graphics with the inevitable lower res and all.
It's too bad Hybrid flopped badly, because it had at least one idea that should become standard: if people leave, the guys stuck on the outnumbered team get a health/damage boost so they can put up a fight until someone else joins.
Tough to implement in CoD due to the already low health/high damage, so maybe they could do something like lower the score for your next pointstreak.

The sniper hit detection was a mess at the start.
So 4 hours, 200+ kills later, I can say that I don't feel the UAV problem is as bad as rangersfan mentioned. My entire party was running UAVs and so were the other guys, and UAVs were up for most of the duration of all our matches. However it didn't make any game that much easier or harder.
In fact, whenever I'd find myself losing all 3 points in Domination, I'd make getting a UAV a top priority. The game is too chaotic and random right now (since the maps are new) for me to do anything without knowing where the enemy is coming from. The UAV puts a touch of order into most games. Knowing 'the enemy is in this general area' atleast helps us plan our attack better. And its not like the enemy's not going to dash in and bust your face in the 3 second UAV refresh time.
I had much more trouble against higher killstreaks, especially Warthog and Dragonflier. Those two are annoying as shit.
The matchmaking and framerate was smooth throughout. Lot of people playing in UAE (the game's been selling in mom and pops and online).

Anyone confirm campaign length yet?
This. Would like to know this as well. Or just an estimate.

Is there a "Pure" match list in this game? I didn't play MW3, but I enjoyed it immensely in Black Ops. It's the probably the one MP mode that I had the most fun playing in the because it was old school style. I would also like to know if the open world Zombie mode game is good.
Also, if anyone in the U.S. didn't pre-order it and wants the best deal for the game, Best Buy has a pretty sweet deal on BLOPS II where if you buy the game, you get 800MSP for free $20 off a year of XBL. But the catch is that you have to buy the game and the card in order to get the points, but it's still a pretty sweet deal if anyone needs to renew their XBL Gold subscription. I might just bite on it myself since my Gold membership expired last month. Here's the link: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=331469

that wasn't hit detection, sniper rifles were purposefully that inaccurate for a while.
Watched someone play on recruit and he finished it in about 5 hours.
Edit: Though the choices that can be made during gameplay seem very interesting, nothing revolutionary, but enough to warrant a second and maybe third playtrough.

Have to say that I like the gun sound improvements, couldn't really play any COD after playing BF3/BC2 and hearing those gun sounds, still its not as good as those but its a big upgrade from what they sounded like before.
