Black Ops II is the first game in the Call of Duty franchise to have a completely futuristic setting and feature future warfare technology. It also presents branching storylines driven by player choice for the first time in the franchise's history.

My personal thoughts;


When i first heard about a new COD i was like  I got Mw3 and i only played it a total of 10 hours maybe. I cant stand the game because the respawn system is so terrible. That killed the entire game for me. Anywho i heard that this was was futuristic and thats what caught my attention. Im still on the not buy side of the fence but im watching and listening. The Future prospective has a lot of potential. you can do all most anything. Taking that leap in time sets you up so your not limited by tactics and weapon of an era. Just sux i wasted 100 dollars on that last game.

Infinity Ward has become incompetent. I will never buy another one of their games because after CoD4, things just went downhill for them. I always liked WaW more anyway. That being said, Black Ops was a decent game so I'll probably give this one a go.

The fact that those two guys aren't the head of IW anymore made CoD go downhill IMO.

I kinda agree with BigJ about the multiplayer at least... It went downhill with black ops, and mw3's multiplayer wasn't much better... It just added bits and pieces from Black Ops that some people liked. I mean I'm playing it, but I refuse to buy black ops 2. Black ops 1 was crap, and I'll be glad when black ops 2 releases so all the little kids can go over to that game and stay off mw3.

I've liked the modern warfare series mainly for the story, but I was hoping the gameplay would improve a lot more with mw3... It looked like MW2.5 gameplay... Story wise, it was obviously a continuation... and I'm actually really hoping for some sort of Captain Price DLC/Spinoff story.

i  liked the maps/killstreaks in black ops but the hitmarkers is what killed online for me. you could clearly be shooting at someone getting confirmations with the markers but you wont get a kill and explosives did nothing in that game so i dont know. it wont be a day one buy like it usually is for me with cod. ill wait and see this time

I don't understand the whole "hitmarkers" thing. That was never a problem for me. The game was basically a 3-bullet kill thing where that was the minimum number of bullets it was gonna take to kill a guy. If you had problems killing someone, chances are you were using your gun outside of its suggested range. Also, the whole hit detection thing, all that is is lag. If the host has a sh*tty connection, you're gonna have a crappy experience. Same goes for all of the CoD games, and most online games these days.

If Treyarch decides to take of the crappy ideas that IW likes to come up with, then the game will be sh*t, and CoD will remain a kiddie game, always and forever. Its funny because shooters like TF2, and Gotham City Impostors, which are intentionally goofy could be considered games that are much more mature due to skill level.

Rant over...
