[CoD Black Ops 2] News and Discussion

That looks pretty bad tbh

Loading screen screamed Invasion. Map was just that with Havana mixed in.

Fairly bad when the only positive thing I've been able to say about the game so far is the colour pallet is nice.

It will definately be better than MW3!







* possibly not true

Angron

Mags taped together is not the same as Sleight of Hand :mad:

Tentatively saying it looks better than MW3, though I'm still not planning on getting it straight off the bat.

Looks like a lovechild of Black Ops and MW3. That map was Bakara and Havana just mixed together, the fountain looks like it was copied and pasted. I also noticed the hit detection looked poor at times even though this was on a LAN I presume. Hard to be impressed with it.

That one guy from IGN who commentates those videos just irritates the hell out of me. When IW was at IGN before MW3 launched, he was terrible at interviewing them all.

Right, so I have preordered the Hardened edition of BlOps2 at Gamestop (did so a few months back) and I have heard that it will be retailing at €90ish. Considering the RRP $79.99 USD which is about €60ish at todays exchange rate, I am thinking of cancelling/transferring my preorder to a different game and buying BlOps somewhere else.
Does anyone know if Xtravision or any other large retailer has released a price on their hardened edition? Any suggestions?

HMV is doing theirs cheaper than Gamestop, not sure what their price is though. HMV will probably sell the standard for 45 minimum and 50 max, It's rare HMV charges 55 euro.

No Dead mans hand! Ridiculous.

I'm 99% sure HMV charged 52.99euro last year for MW3, Tesco are always the cheapest 45euro

I've heard they're pretty good.
I ordered Blops 1 from Play and think I got it around ten days after release date. Did my head in. From recollection I didn't miss much as the first few weeks 'cos it was pretty unplayable online. Pre-ordered in a bricks 'n mortar shop this time round.

Yes, anyone who preorders gets Nuketown and double XP the weekend 16th-18th Nov from gamestop anyway.

Yes you will get both. The double XP was announced today I think so not sure if its exclusive to gamestop or not.

I think they will include it with every pre-order, thanks

Creasy_bear

I presume it will come with a code to download it. If anyone on here wants mine pm me, because there's no way I'm downloading that piece of ****.

hypermuse

Damn, they got me good. Dont really wanna have to pre-order it but I know I'm gonna prob buy it at some stage (and I know i'll wanna play nuketown) so may as well just pre-order it.

iMuse

Just read there that Black Ops 2 on the 360 has 419,000 less preorders than MW3 had the same amount of weeks from release in the US. Activision may be getting slightly worried.

great stuff, delighted

Halo 4 has stolen the limelight from BOPS2 big time, lots of major retailers in the US have sold out of all their special editions and it's driving up the interest further.

I've never played Halo

One of the best experiences I've had gaming is playing Halo with mates using system link. 4v4 team rocketball with friendly fire on is just carnage.

Basically the same as elite with a different name, won't be buying.

AGB_Ghost

This entire Season Pass is getting beyond Irritating. Gears of War 3, I think was one of the first to do it, since then everyone does it. It's pretty much saying:


"Give us your money in advance and we knock a bit of the price off, heh heh....."

FlyingIrishMan

I don't mind it being there. I personally won't buy it as I don't know that I'll be interested in the game from start to finish, but for the ones who play it religiously and are sure to buy all the DLC the option is nice to have.

Shifty Shellshock

I didn't get the MW3 elite crap but I'll get this one for sure. It's Black ops 2, you'll get a great set of maps for it. I never play zombies but feel it will be worth it for the 4 maps each pack.

docdolittle

So... elite is going to be fully free this time around http://kotaku.com/5951796/call-of-duty-elite-going-completely-free-with-black-ops-ii-map-updates-available-via-season-pass-instead

I bought Elite last month, a years sub.


Well that sucks, I had hoped I'd get BO2 maps as part of that, feel screwed over.

DaveNoCheese

Haven't used my elite in months

FlyingIrishMan

I never used it ever, maybe the first day it was out but haven't ever checked since.

50 quid well spent!


I don't care for all the Elite stuff.. great for OCD COD fans who want all the DLC but personally I just don't buy into it.

I got it with the hardened edition, and I mainly got the hardened edition for the DLC... which surprisingly enough I never ended up downloading :P

Ì hated mw3, but with blops 2 i dont know, i might just get it for the zombies

I really don't get why people wouldn't get BLops 2 when they like CoD (Not counting MW3 :P ). I mean it has the campaign, zombies and multiplayer... If you end up not liking it, the re-sale value of CoD's, especially new ones still stay fairly high for a fair while (> €30-40). So if you don't like it after the first month, someone will prob buy it off you on adverts for a Christmas present...

Mr. Manager

Rent it first then make your mind up

hypermuse

I'll buy it and enjoy it for a while but then it'll gather dust for months! thats how games work in general now tbh since there are so many great game releases more often!!

I enjoyed blops alot more than MW2 or MW3 and I just hope blops 2 multiplayer keeps the same appeal that blops one had. Really enjoyed it.
