Call of Duty: Black Ops site live, game releases Nov 9th

So pumped. I love WAW and still play it when MW2 gets on my nerves. This has the potential to be amazing. If the SAS mission is in as rumored, the true MP5 will be back. And of course the M16 and AK47 will be in it. Thompson and M60 are very likely as well. So many good weapons to choose from.

Please Treyarch, keep the grenade launchers as the last unlockable attachments as was done in WAW. Definitely make them take up the perk 1 slot as well. I can't wait.

You know when I compare MW2 and WaW I actually prefer WaW so I'm looking forward to this. And no this isn't a MW2 bashing post as people love to point out, I merely think WaW is a slightly better all-round game than MW2 apart from the fucking dogs!

Don't like the subtitle though, seems a bit... unimaginative.

Damn, why do so many people hate the dogs? I thought it was a brilliant kill streak award.

And I don't agree about what others have said regarding grenade launchers and bazookas. Treyarch does an infinitely better job at balancing their game if WaW is any indication. Bazooka's were only available as a perk, and rifle grenades were only available on certain weapons in WaW, weapons that are much harder to use than assault rifles. And you had to complete all marksman challenges to unlock them IIRC. Plus to eliminate spawn noob tubing they disabled them for the first 15 seconds of every round, something that IW never did for some ridiculous reason. We'll see what happens in this game though because it seems it will play out over different time lines.

I have the utmost confidence though. All the comments they have made about their feelings regarding the bullshit in MW2 have been music to my ears.

Will likely be better than anything that Modern Warfare 3 can hope to be at this point. Can't wait. :D

Yup.

Usually I ignore their versions. But considering they kinda have something to prove with Infinity Ward now being a walking zombie, I think they can pull it off.

this must be the treyarch one right?

why are people bitching about mw2 when you could be bitching about treyarch? i think thats by far the best indicator that its going to suck, especially considering they probably started working on it before mw2 was even released.

Another Glitchy, Camp fest, non-team based, let's whore a noob tube and a heartbeat sensor CoD game, already? I can't wait, really.....

Oh wait, did I hear Crysis 2, Resistance 3 and Killzone3 were coming out soon as well?

I'll pass.....

World at War was and will continue to be better than anything from the Resistance franchise.
 
I don't think I'm going to buy a Call of Duty game this year unless it's something really awesome not another Modern Warfare with new perks and weapons.
 
SAS was born in the 40's, SEAL's in the 60's. I'm guessing the timeline is going to jump between points in the last 60+ years. Could be interesting.

You shouldn't laugh at the truth.

Treyarch proved that with W@W they could do decent work. I believe that they will continue to improve as a developer with this release.

You laugh, but you're going to buy it. Like all of us.
And then we will bitch if it's terrible like MW2 is.
 
Treyarch WAW online is very good.


Much better than MW1 which I also played to death.


Haven't played MW2 due to obvious reasons (pc user)

i agree 100%, MW2 is a step back from WaW in many ways.

Treyarch takes a lot of heat for no good reason, who cares if they didn't create the engine they sure know how to use it.

Take out--

--melee lunge
--One Man Army
--grenade launchers
--Commando
--the overabundance of killstreaks
--Last Stand
--deathstreaks
--shotguns/machine pistols as secondaries

Introduce--

--Longer delay between melee attacks
--a better spawning system (LOL)
--gold paint
--dedicated servers
--tiered killstreak system
--more recoil for guns, especially assault rifles, to make them more difficult to use

some of this and:

Make the game more team oriented, rather than a game for self gratification. Start there, it's stupid how one player can control and win a game himsef by camping in a corner....


Also, larger maps if possible, with more players that doesn't lag. Seriously, Ground war was a cluster fu(k every time....."Finding Host" Finding Host.

Oh and actually queue up a game with your party instead of throwign you into 3 different games. Oh and try not to boot everyone out of a game when some chump quits out of it. Oh and can we approach getting some kind of clan roster to party with friends easier? Is that asking too much? Trey, this is your opportunity to fix this game, maybe win it for good, now that IW has taken a huge blow.... Use it wisely!

Noted! :D
Hmm, isn't the new Medal of Honor (with DICE MP) coming out in September too?
Click to expand...
Medal of Honor should be out before end of September, yep. This new COD has a November 9 release date it seems.
 
I hope it goes back to a CoD4/WaW type of setup. WaW's only big problems were MP40s and tanks, and after witnessing all the cheap-chopper gunner bullshit I think I'll prefer the tanks any day.

All I want are these things for me to like the game:

- Make LMGs and HMGs useful
- don't make the low RPM smg too powerful per bullet (40 at close range is fine and 20-25 after dropoff)
- since it will inevitably have M16s, make em have a faster rate of fire between burst but a lower damage and/or a biger damage dropoff
- put juggernaut in the game. I know many people think it is cheap, but really it helps keep some weapons from being cheap one-hit/two-hit kills.
- bayonets instead of commando
- make sleight of hand give even faster reloading
 
25 Kills and you get the opportunity to use "the beacon". Being a Tier 1 Black Op, you're friends with aliens and shit. Use the beacon to summon them down and get all independence day on everyone's ass. Because, as MW2 taught you, even if you and your teammates all die and destroy 10miles of land over a 6v6 battle, you still win.
 
11/9 is the Halo 2 date! No game should be allowed to launch on this date.!!

Anyway.. I'll probably buy it.. again!
 
whats with all the Treyarch hate? sure Call of Duty 2 sucked, but World At War is great!

Local and online coop
Nazi Zombies
DLC maps have been great!

Wasn't CoD3 the Treyarch game?

And honestly I don't really get why people say W@W is so good. I honestly didn't like it, granted I didn't really hate it either, I just thought it was... okay-ish? The SP sucked, though.
 
features stunning cinematic graphics and intense gameplay that puts you right at the heart of the action!

Yes 3 was their game, and it was terrible. I haven't played past 3 though, so I really don't care. Sad to see such a franchise get so milked year after year. This will die soon enough like Guitar Hero.
 
I like Treyarch's cover system from their CoD engine Bond game, and wouldn't mind if they included it. It's the year 2010 after all, get with the program. Even Halo Reach is adding something so revolutionary as sprinting.

I can live without a cover system. The only good cover system I've ever seen in an FPS was Call of Duty: Bound in Blood's, and I don't see any devs racing to emulate that.

You're right, they're better. :D

Say what you will about their back catalog, WaW was a good game.
 
After MW2, Treyarch is the only reason I'm interested in the series.

That would require the drying up of the entire FPS genre. It'll take a major shift in gaming landscape for that to happen.

So? Why do they have to be the same caliber to make a good game? CoD4 had issues and so did MW2. In retrospective, World at War did a few things better than both games.

Seeing as IW is also a pretty bad developer, I don't see how hard it is to reach their caliber. All they have to do is remake the same game with a new skin every time.
 
I cant wait. I personally fucking loved WaW especially the multiplayer. Sucks there is a bug, which they will never fix on the PC that prevents many of us from playing it.

I'd actually like the COD games to go down in scope a bit. I like the idea of a story that's not so 'grand'.
Click to expand...
Unfortunately I don't think that's ever going to happen. All the video game devs in the world seemed to have met up and decided every action game needs to be a Jerry Bruckheimer/Michael Bay movie.
 
I have liked all Treyarch's cod games except that COD2 add on bullshit. COD III had classes and split-screen online capability and W@W had Nazi zombies also the mp was kick ass stuff. COD1 > W@W > COD2 (orginal) > MW > COD3 > MW2
