I was watching the IGN Stream. The scope in time is 'quick' and it seems to autoaim easier than other snipers in the previous games and there is little to no sway.

Thar ya goes.

Mr. Manager

There's attachments you can put on the sniper which makes you aim faster, paired with some other perk that makes you ads quicker from sprint makes it a lot easier than BO I

AGB_Ghost

I can't wait to make a ton of combinations in terms of gun handling. I really want to try the M8A1 since the M16 isn't in BO II

You also get a soundtrack CD and exclusive player cards. It's worth the extra €20 cos I ordered my Hardened edition for €70 which isn't much different than the standard price for the extras. Nicer casing, also.

It'll probably be 45 or so in tescos, maybe less.

Snipers being easier to use is good news for PC players imo, automatics on PC just smash everything thanks to superior aim, if there is little recoil on them in blops2 it'd just make them by far the best choice. The snipers weren't bad in BO's 1 but were much harder to use than CoD4.. which the competitive community had to create pro-mod for just to make it viable and balanced, taking out sway etc.

Obviously with there being no auto-aim it'll make it somewhat more balanced. don't really care about quickscopers on console.. since even on MW2 i shat all over pretty much anyone that was using a sniper, no matter how they tried to use it. Certainly were never overpowered imo, just something for people to whine about when they die tbh.

Having watched 20 mins of that, map colour pallet used aside, put off by the game again. If it's true about Nuketown being available in standard copies of the game. I'll wait if I do decide on picking it up.

With BF3 DLC on it's way in a couple of weeks time, along with Hitman, Far Cry 3 and currently Assassin's Creed III. I'm sorted.

Disappointed with what I'm hearing about quickscoping, I usually find IW games are far more popular for the quickscoping so I'm hoping it be as bad as an issue in Black Ops II, but sounds like it will be.

The amount of complaining about quickscoping is unreal . They decided to add a trail to a sniper rifle bullet so the person sniping can't camp but they can quick scope and everybody is now having a right moan about it . They had to balance the game so everybody can have a fair experience so they decide to go with quickscoping but make it that a sniper can't camp which alot of them do . Maybe they should take out snipers out of the game to please some of the moaning because they can't seem to win what ever they do .

Since Treyarch have opened the servers, I wish they would just release the game now. Rather than posting twitter tips with 2 days till launch :rolleyes:

Could not be arsed getting this on launch day

Purchasable after a while id say.

I was watching a livestream with one of the main game developers yesterday, Vahn I think, and he said it's a possibility but there's no mention about it right now. He said that it's not a matter of design, development etc. but just a business/marketing thing they'd have to discuss.

Saying that, you can be sure it'll be released eventually. Treyarch sure as hell won't miss any opportunity to make more money of COD players..

Me either, feels weird not having seen much apart from trailers and a few mins of gameplay, was all over the previous ones in the run up to launch.

I'm wondering the same. This will be the first COD that I've gone into completely blind. Ive only seen that Nuketown video and nothing else. Hopefully I'm not disappointed. There seems to be some pretty good new features.

Anyone know if the campaign is any good?

FIFA games have terrible resale value, anything with yearly updates does like WWE games etc. was in gamesotp near me last year and they wouldnt take any FIFA trade ins past Feb, no sale value at that point.

Oh interesting. I thought they would sell it easily as its new enough. I have no games to trade in against black ops 2:( Unless they want mw2. Started playing it last week for the first time in years. Forgot how much fun it is. Way less frustrating than ultimate team. Now where will i get money to buy black ops 2 Being a poor student is a great laugh:p

Ah man, I wouldn't do that if I was you....they're taking you for a ride.

MW2 and COD4 fair enough....but Fifa 13 and BF3?! :eek: No way E42....

This is a month old game along with BF3 that is not even close to the end of it's lifecycle. Disgraceful how these stingy f*cks can lure people in with such shitty deals. If I didn't have those games, I'd give you more for them ffs.

greenman09

i never got into fifa. played it for the first week then it sat there since. years since i played it before this. they gave me 28 credit on it. and this is weeks after they only offered 20. few of the games i got rid of were only gathering dust.

Forget Xtravision....

You will get better deals online. Throw BF3/Fifa13 up on eBay or something...

If I was you I'd rent BLOPS2 to get a feel for it. With these recent COD games, the marketing hype is usually all it is. A few days with the game and it becomes repetitive anyway. Besides, you'll find BLOPS2 on the net for cheaper in a few days. If you can wait a few weeks you'll see mountains of them for sale by people that have gotten over the novelty and looking for a quick sale.

Nuketown and NT Zombies will be released next year as DLC...because the community will want it on the marketplace and Activision are a bit partial to making a quick buck as we all know.
