[CoD Black Ops 2] News and Discussion

FlyingIrishMan

I'd want to know the dimensions of the box and the quadrotator before bying it.

minidazzler

Does it come with all maps? I'd be tempted if it does. But if you have to buy the maps on top of that, then they can fook right off.

Unless of course those are two extraordinarily small blokes.... In which case the box is about 4 inches in height..

yimrsg

Not a fcuking hope is that box 2ft high by 4.5ft long! You'd have something more than double the volume of a 50 gallon drum! It's probably a tiny bit bigger than toolbox in length.

FlyingIrishMan

The americans get it so much cheaper than us @ $179...
Thats 142 euro, It actually seems justifiable at that price.

Kells...

Look how close it is to the camera+how far away the two guys are,I'm going to guess less than a foot.

Yep, the lads are standing a bit back from the box making it look bigger. I'd day 1.5 x 1.5 x 3ft at most

Edit: What's Kells said, I'm slow at typin

Shifty Shellshock

In all fairness you'd want to be about 12 years old to buy the care package edition. Cos all is extra with that is a remote control toy.

Hardened for me anyway, any idea (bar greed) why elite isn't included and how much it will cost?

Unboxing video, its little more than a toy box you would have as a child.

Well that wasn't scripted at all. :pac:

senordingdong

I just don't see the point, nvg goggles, remote control cars, big clumsy box....if they were to include something useful like head phones or gamer glasses, then maybe.

rolexeagle1

have been playing quite a bit of black ops lately, forgot how much I love wager matches, also forgot how go the misses is at BLOPS!

Quite looking forward to this now!

FlyingIrishMan

Don't know if its been mentioned or not, but wager matches are back but this time is called party matches due to there being no currency and nothing to wager.
I don't think they're ranked either, not sure on that though.

Hi any sites or stores that anyone knows of that will sell Black Ops 2 Early any feedback would be great

As far as I know its illegal to sell a game before the official release date so I don't think you'll get much help here.(officially anyway)

Keith B

Yeah I know but any sites that would ship the game early so that you will be sure of getting it by release or any way possible really I would pay a bit extra if needed

Campers show up on the radar! Fúckin WIN!!!

Perk Category 1:

Flak jacket. This protects you from explosive damage.
Ghost. This protects you from being detected by UAVs, but only if you’re on the move.
Blind eye. This perk makes it impossible for AI-controlled perks from the enemy team to affect you.
Hardline. This allows you to receive bonus score points.
Lightweight. Reduces your weight so you can move more quickly and take less damage when you fall.

Perk Category 2:

Hard-wired. This one makes you immune to enemy EMPs and UAVs.
Scavenger. You can pick up ammo and grenades from corpses.
Cold-blooded. This makes it impossible for targeting systems like Target Finder, Dual Band and Sensor Grenades to find you, as well as any player-controlled aircraft.
Toughness. When you’re shot, you’ll flinch less, reducing the impact on your aim.
Fast Hands. You can more quickly swap your grenades and equipment.

Perk Category 3:

•Engineer. Provides you with a set of abilities; you can see enemy equipment locations, you can delay explosives, and you can booby trap care packages.
•Dead Silence. Exactly what it sounds like; no one can hear you move.
•Extreme Conditioning. Allows you to sprint for a longer time period.
•Tactical Mask. Reduce the flash and noise from your shots.
•Awareness. Makes it easier to hear enemies nearby.
•Dexterity. Makes it easier and faster to climb ladders and other objects. You can also aim more quickly and effectively after you sprint and recover from melee more quickly as well.

KERSPLAT!

Link to your list? Doesn't read very well and things like Tac mask.. Wouldn't that reduce the effects of flashes, stuns, etc as opposed to flash from your gun? Unless your runnin around with a thunder gun that'd be pretty usless!

FlyingIrishMan

There is no perks that does anything to your gun, its all to your player. So that list is wrong.

That is the Perk list.

Headshot

Ghost shouldnt be in the game fullstop but if it has to be, at least they brought in that rule but how does it work, does anyone know?

do they have to take certain steps or can they just go back in forth in there camping corner and get away with it?

Shane-KornSpace

I hope it's real.
These guys posted it on their Facebook today

Of course it should be in the game. Everything has to have a counter-balance.

We won't know what it's like properly til it comes out, but if it's not to satisfaction they will tweak it.

Ballymun Bohs

I personally think they should remove all ghost/cold blooded/assassin type perks from the game completely but in turn make a uav at least a 5 killstreak. If you want a uav you earn it and also have it in conflict with lethal killstreaks such as pred etc.

FlapsOfDoom

No mention of Elite being included in either package, If elite was included I'd more than likely buy the hardened edition.

No it's in the hardened too and will probably be available as DLC for the standard edition after a while

justsomebloke

I thought it was available with the ordinary edition if you preordered from gamestop?

Doesn't specify whether you get Nuketown Zombies as well as just regular Nuketown but that is probably the case

This link here says you get Nuketown Zombies with the hardened edition

First is the 'Hardened Edition', which will include the game in a collectible two-sided steelbook case, limited edition challenge coins, soundtrack download, additional weapon camo and the downloadable multiplayer maps Nuketown 2025 and Nuketown Zombies.

iMuse

Nuketown zombies only comes with the Hardened and CP edition. More than likely be available to download later though.

Had pre-ordered the standard when it came out first, must switch it over to the hardened... How much ya'll say it was worth again??

You can use Hardline pro if you're not happy with what's in it

everlast75

In that case... Does having Hardline mean its cheaper?
