X43r0, you got to slay hordes of flesh-hungry Nazi Zombies in WaW.What more could you want! :eek:

I never played any CoD game before that and Zombie Mode was the first time I did play it at a mates. Soooo much fun co-op or solo.

2smiggy

zombie mode is great fun. wave after wave of zombies, that get harder to kill and more of them as the levels go by. but you also get more guns and perks once you do not die. great fun with friends with mics. you need to be organised to get far in it.

L4D is fun but only with other people, the retarded AI makes it a chore in single player.

I deleted the creasybear psn , just in case you think I deleted you

My new one is creasy_bear77 but I don't really play mw2 anymore so might not be much point adding me . If you play COD4 add me

krudler

I dip in and out of COD4, might give MW2 a break myself after I prestige again, getting a bit bored of it now.

OMG i know that mission was taken straight out of enemy at the gates.

Guessing you haven't played COD then! whole mission taken from Enemy at the gates and as mentioned before, the shower scene from MW2 is from The rock. There's probably more but i can't think off hand. But games taking ideas from movies has been around for a while

sure half the levels in MOH are taken from movies, especially Frontline, thats just basically Saving Private Ryan:The Game

Leeg17

I read on CoD Wiki that the Killstreak rewards (and kills needed for them) haven't yet been finalised. Also that during the jump/dive that was shown in the trailer, you won't be able to shoot, and there will be a recovery delay in which you can't shoot either.

Stupid copyright by Activision Wanted to see that leaked gameplay!!

Rycn

Get out of here gos!

Does anyone think this looks like a horrible game?yes i saw the campaign demo looks good

but i was looking at the multiplayer demo they released and it looks like a cross between WAW/bad company/mw2

but they took the bad parts of two games and the good of one and expected it to work

probably will buy it just out of principal and the fact i love Call of Duty over most FPS

but overall doesnt look to appealing

Nuri Sahin

Just re-watched the single player demo.

Watching the player go the player go by an AK. Can I just say, lord give me strength if the AK is unlocked late on when trying to level up. One of many retarded decisions by IW was to put it at level 70. Arguably the one of the worst things was unlocking arguably my favourite gun in the game.. having a few hours to spend with it and then prestiging. Was a right kick in the nads :P

i wonder if a really overpowered sub machine gun will be in black ops
the ump should really of been patched or made so it unlocked
at a high level.

I hope so because I mostly use the sub machine guns

I hope its the AK74-u

Nuri Sahin

I hope it's the Moonraker Laser.

From quickly breezing through the thread , theres quite the negative air :P
you guys can watch all the trailers you like but until you have had hands on times you cant say it will be **** :P common sense guys

CokaColumbo

I am tired of getting excited about new COD games, seeing videos which advertise the new weapons and gadgets, the different levels and the evolved games mechanics and then realising, after playing the game for a while, that nothing is new or exciting- its still just as frustrating to play; the same problems hinder enjoyment and I think to myself... "these developers are just in it for the money; they didn't give me anything revolutionary here. I need a new FPS experience...

...but being the masochistic COD addict/junkie that I am, I'll probably give it a go.

Leeg17

Anyone excited for the full multiplayer reveal? Gimme a hell yea!

WhollyChao

As long as there's dedicated server support I'll be buying it. MW2 was, IMO, an enjoyable game but the lack of dedi support on the pc coupled with the terrible matchmaking system meant that I could never play online with friends outside the country - which is a bit of a kick in the giblets when 75% of a clan live all over the EU and can never connect to one another.

Here's hoping BO won't stink for pc users :P

I'm hoping they allowing modding in this one, it kind of pissed off the pc community when they got so screwed out of it :P No editor, no dedicated servers.. Kinda sucked for one of the most successful games so far.

i would like to see a game match type, that involves every game type an your points are added on after each game type, such as start off with ffa, then you are put into your teams for rest of match types team deathmatch, domination, HQ s & d domination etc.....an your points are added


this will see who is top dog ...casue you could be great at tdm but crab in s&d, or getting crazy score in capture the flag, think it would be interesting how it would plan out

Thats not a bad idea, or have stats on your win/loss and kdr on specific match types, thats why when you go from playing tactical games to Headless Chicken mode you get your ass kicked as theres so many noobs on it, playing Sabotage and S&D you almost forget about noobtubes, I dont think I've been killed by one on a game of it yet

From the BO page on Wikipedia:
"Some PC specific features that were taken away from Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 will return, such as lean[13], dedicated servers[14], mod tools and a developer console."

Sounds very promising. I bet there were quite a few people besides myself swearing when getting used to MW2 multiplayer, throwing a flashbang whilst using cover. I think for me the most important aspect will be the dedi support, so that clans that aren't lucky enough to live in the same country can play together easilly, get some decent leagues up and running, and last but not least to have some form of control on who joins a game - no more frustrating matches with a bad/childish host who either won't leave despite lagging everybody or leaves as soon as their ratio looks bad :rolleyes:

Anyone else think the callsign emblems look a bit cack? I wonder will it still be lvl 70 to prestige or will they lower back to 50 like on COD4

Totally against it. Boosting would still run rampage and ruin the game imo.

It's grand if they're used properly but I reckon they'll be abused, again.

I keep forgetting to, but a TI near a bomb site in Sabo or Demo and some places (like a quiet spot inside the house in Estate on most game modes) can be really good, I've see a few vids like that.

Must try it out next time I'm on. Heck, if someone is there with another and he spawns repeatedly in front of me, all the better! :pac:

Looks like google knows something, Doubt there will be any ps3 beta though because of the Activision /MS deal which sucks

Mr. Manager

I just tried to go to that site and I was redirected back to the original Black Ops page

WhollyChao

I just googled 'Call of Duty Black Ops beta' and the first result was interesting.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned elsewhere on the boards.

"Team DX Coders – The very same people who cracked the key algorithm for Halo: Reach – Have made an announcement that they have found Beta keys for Call of Duty Black Ops.

Team DX Coders have been known for the fact that they leaked Beta Keys for Halo: Reach before there was even a beta announcement, and it looks like it’s the same again this time.

“They were in the same place we found Halo’s ones, more or less. Microsoft isn’t being too careful to hide the keys, but we expect that to change in the future. For now we will do the same thing we did with Reach, keep the keys under wraps until the Beta is fully announced, then share them.”

As always, the hacking forum that Team DX Coders is a part of is in a furor over the news, especially considering the well known distribution of keys that occurred for Reach. No doubt we will see them floating around the net the moment the Beta is properly announced. The hacking team gave the keys out to various high profile websites, as well as over their own forums and you tube.

Of course, could this all be a ploy by Activision to increase hype for the game? Doubtful, considering a release date is so far away. It would be far more likely to be the case if this occurred just after E3. When trying to reach Activision for comment, I was stone walled at every turn. Focusing on developer Treyarch instead, they let out this little gem “We can’t confirm that Black Ops will have a beta” Uhh…that’s not a no, guys.

I guess that means legally I can say “I can’t confirm that I am already testing Black Ops for Activision” – That should fly sufficiently under the NDA radar.

For those that don’t know, Call of Duty: Black Ops is the next Call of Duty game to be released on November 9, 2010 – It will no doubt be piggybacking on the success of Modern Warfare 2, though whether customers relate ‘Modern Warfare 2′ with the ‘Call of Duty’ brand, remains to be seen.

We will of course attempt to give out as many codes as possible over our e-mail list when they are released, that is of course, as long as Microsoft doesn’t wizen to the fact that these codes have been hacked already. Actually…. I’m pretty sure even then they won’t care."


Hmm :cool:

So 1 gamemode on 1 map is worth having what ruined MW2 for a lot of people left in the game?
