Call of Duty: Black Ops

[LMITOUT]

It wasn't just the gadgets and features of WaW that were cheesy, but the game play itself wasn't that great. The maps were bad and overall it didn't seem as fluid as COD4. I still think COD4 set the bar and it hasn't been topped yet, even with MW2.

But isn't that always the case whenever you put a "2" on something? It'll never be as good as the first because the first one blew everyone out of the water.

I'm afraid with Black Ops is that it's going to be over the top with the number of people playing at any one time.

It's bad enough when you get on a bad team of 8-12, now you're going to have 3-4 x's that many people that could be bad?

[LMITOUT]

I don't believe BlackOps is going to be any different when talking the number of players in a match.

Well I have to say that after watching some of the hands on demo's from E3, I think this game may just surprise a few people. The concept looks fairly fresh and the game play looks pretty legit. 2 things you can count on in life.....1) You will die eventually. 2) Any Call of Duty game will sell like wildfire! HAHA!

Really? After the Treyarch's World at War debacle I'm a little gun shy on what Black Ops is going to be like.

Granted there were things I didn't like about MW2, such as riot shields, heartbeat sensors, and ridiculous marathon knifers, but overall it was much better than WaW, IMO. Attack dogs? Puh-lease.

I was homeported on Guam, and guess what- War Dog Memorial, Guam USA:

So they weren't "attack" dogs, but other countries DID use dogs to attack enemies. Attack dogs have been used in warfare since the Romans. Just think, the modern day Navy uses dolphins for mine detection. Anythings possible!

Attack Monkeys............Chimps with C4 Belts that come climbing after you....

They gotta be spider monkeys though

Good point, faster and smaller targets.

Moles with land mines.

Or swarms of bees, or dogs, or dogs with bees in their mouth so when they bark they shoot bees at you.......

[smnduck]

sweeeet Bee shooting dogs.

[LMITOUT]

Stop giving Treyarch ideas....they just might use them.

Playing HCTDM on W@W earlier and I got nailed by another Molotov Cocktail. Would a soldier really carry around a fifth of booze?

[smnduck]

And not be drinking it?

Not modern day, but back in the old days yes! That is where the term "liquid courage" comes from.

[zamboni]

Nah, liquid courage comes from taking 55 year old bar flies home. Beer goggles my friend, beer goggles

[Bigbartguy]

bee-shooting dogs!! I cant wait!

That sounds like a personal problem!

Pretty cool stuff coming from the boys at Tre for the new OPs game.

Okay, this is coming from a guy that started with the COD franchise at WaW.

To me, Black Ops, so far, doesn't LOOK much different than MW2, other than a couple of added kills (little car, crossbow, etc.).

I might be getting burned out on buying these new games every year. Madden 11 comes out on Thursday, and I have ZERO urgency to buy it. I've bought everyone since '94.

Does this mean I'm finally growing up????

Looks pretty interesting. I think Treyarch makes good games but after what they did with W@W and now from this preview it seems they ride IW's coat tail pretty hard. Scoring system, right down to "first blood" and "long shot" types of bonuses. Care packages are obviously back. Looks like Callsigns/emblems are back. Whats the knife action at the 30 sec mark? The RC car seems quite cheesy. The thermal cam that you can setup is cool. Wonder if that's equipment or a killstreak? Looks like you can save killcams or game play videos, that's cool.

Im definately looking forward to it. Hopefully they add some new twists to multiplayer instead of just a few new gadgets. Like MW2 and IW or not, atleast they tried hard to make a new game instead of repackaging MW multiplayer with a few new Killstreaks and weapons.

Wonder when they will announce the new zombie style game? They gotta have one...
