Props to them for not doing ANOTHER rehash but I'm not sold at all.

It just looks like a reskinned MW game and fuck giving money to the conveyor belt that is that company.

we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

The word 'Black Ops 2' sounds like a cheap, unsuccessful game like Sniper: Ghost Warrior.

To me, MW2 ruined the COD series. Since then there has been COD bummers, people that talk bullshit on mic and crappy gameplay. COD NEEDS to go back to WWII. Ah, COD: Finest Hour. What a game. Finest Hour are the kind of games they need.

COD was ruined for me by the loud majority of people who play it, i.e. the n00b pwners and those-who-fucked-your-mother types of people.
Therefore, I don't care what happens, as I won't be buying it.

But, I do feel that this has become an uncomfortable trend with games recently. They are creating sequels that shouldn't be (Pokémon Black and White 2) and not making the ones that should be. (Star Wars Battlefront 3)

I saw horses, so I'm interested.

At least its something off the beaten path. I mean, I love WW2 shooters as much as the next guy, but a change of pace is always welcome.

No, they should just stop making games and donate all their money to AIDS research projects.

There's literally nothing new they can cover in WW2 and they clearly can't make good games anymore so just ditch the whole thing and help people instead.

Makes sense to me.

I say it was pretty good. In my view, instead of fusing Call of Duty with halo, they fused Black Ops with Modern Warfare 3. Black Ops lead to MW3, and MW3 will lead to Black Ops 2. Just because its futuristic doesnt mean much has changed.

Nothing to cover in WWII? How about finally put the British in a WWII game, eh?

Medal of Honor games have them, if I recall correctly.

I'd personally like to see a resistance movement other than the French one. Don't get me wrong, the French Resistance needs more games to show its amazingness as well, but what about the Chetniks and other Serbian partisans, or the Polish? That'd be worthwhile.

They've already been in a WWII game.

So have the Canadians.

So have the Poles.

So have the French resistance.

If you're not exclusively talking about FPS's, so have the nazis.

Art's a very vague word and it's debatable considering how hyper commercialised the medium is.

It's, generally, what you make of it, and you don't have to be an erudite to figure paying 60 bucks for the same bullshit over and over again ain't art.

Question, are we complaining that Black Ops 2 will suck because of the campaign, or because of the multiplayer? Cause I got a bunch of friends that buy Call of Duty only for the multiplayer.

I dislike all CoD games anyway. Bad FPS the multi-player maps are nothing on battlefield. Seriously who jumps about with with an M1 Barret and gets a headshot. And the polotlines are awful.

I think Treyarch does very well with their call of duties, but if you ask me Infinity War does pretty bad nowadays. Well the reason why IW is doing bad is cuz of how badly Activision handled them.

It'll suck because it'll be an unbalanced, boring, tactless, casualised rehash.

At first I was kinda excited when I saw the trailer, it looks kinda cool, some weapons look futuristic, we've got drones, etc... But then I saw a guy holding an M16A1, and I lost all hope. I have a feeling there's gonna be a lot '47s involved too, I mean this is a CoD game.

To be honest, I'm surprised Russia and China don't invade America for real after seeing this shit. "Russia invades in a Day!"

Even Russia knows that's not possible. Hell, even their Nationalistic Propaganda would say it's not possible.

Back to Black Ops 2 though, wow. Futuristic.

Perhaps the Big Bad US fleet smashes through China and Russia, the Commie scum and restores freedom. /Total COD thinking.

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

There is already something like that. It's called Mount & Blade. And you only get one life.
