I was just going to buy this on steam. I bought COD4 on PC and Xbox, WAW on PC and Xbox, MW2 on Xbox, PC, and PS3; I never play the console versions because I hate the controller.

I caved in last night and bought the prestige edition for xbox. Because I waited so long I had to buy it online and it's too late to receive it on launch. I'll probably end up buying it for PC on launch date :banghead:

Well at least you're gonna have an awesome RC car to play with.

Random Mw2 question: Do you get more exp off of hardcore mode or regular mode? Or is there even a difference?

50 in both modes for objectives (I think 100 for sabotage though). 50 in FFA. 100 in TDM games and 500 in SnD (1k for headshots)

@Squirt

I play mostly by myself and I have like 12-14 days on MW2. As long as you don't play too much in a row it's fine for me, it never got boring. Lol with Halo 3 I could play a full day with a friend hehe. Also splitscreen is now in black ops

Two more vids.

Yup I have like 13 days on mw2 and all of it was pure fun except for some raging moments but what made me rage back then has been removed now.

Plus they introduced a complete new system and a way larger amount of possible costumization, so I think I'll be able to get atleast 13 days of playing before getting kinda bored of it.

Same engine, no improvements, and same delicious bullshit they feed retards. Not buying this. CoD series is going downhill like no other. Glad that the staff is ragequitting and making their own.

Also WTB Medal of Honor.

Weird, I could've sworn that Modern Warfare 2 earned over $300 million in the first day and then some ($200 million) later. Now I've read that Black Ops pre-orders are going to dominate those of MW 2.

So I dunno where you are getting your info from.

Yes each copy is 60$ and collectors was 120$.
Its usually the same people that buy the same shit.

The graphics HAVE NOT improved.

Does it matter? MW2 looks great.

lol.... gold camo looks so bad on all of the guns.

Anyone who thinks black ops is just a carbon copy of mw2 and will fail are pretty much identical to those who said it about mw2 (wrong). The same was said about GTA 4, Need For Speed games, etc. If it's only the 'same crowd' buying the game then explain how the sales are (projected to be at this point) higher. People buying more than 1 copy lols?

Obviously the game will be very similar in many ways. Why fix the things that aren't broken?

Honestly I don't see a problem with how CoD is run. They build off of what is successful and accompany it with new features. You can't expect brand new games to be constantly produced. It really isn't possible, especially when people already trend to games that they are familiar with. Honestly I have seen a lot of new features in the game that make me think that it has potential to be a very good game. I honestly think getting rid of stopping power was a great move. There was no need for it ever since juggernaut was removed. If you are worried about a game being too similar, then that's cool. I have felt that about games, but after playing them I noticed that it's hard to make an exact copy of a game. Especially since we are working off of two different companies (Treyarch and IW.)

I wonder how the release of BO is going to affect Reach. I don't even know how much of Reach I am going to be playing when I get back home. I have always favored CoD since I feel as it is more dynamic and overall more fun for me.

The only perceivable difference I could detect was the maps...

Besides that it is a carbon copy mate...

If you mean controls and shooting (maybe graphics too), then of course it's the same, moron. The graphics are already good enough, and the controls work.

As for things that matter, weapons, perks, actual game modes, and the amount of customization, not even close to the same. Weapons belonging in that list is probably the only debatable thing.

I am pretty sure it's a whole new story too. Attachments + equipment is different too. I think you are trying to prove something that really is just not possible. The games are NOT identical. CoD has always had a certain gameplay feel. But how the game is actually is played has been changing with each game.

dom · **Posted:** Sun Nov 07, 2010 6:33 pm

This makes me rage: XXX 2 is just a clone of XXX 1.

Yeah, well no shit. It's a sequel, it's not a different franchise. EVERY COD game will be an FPS with the same controls and the same game play. If it weren't it wouldn't be COD, it would be something else.

It's like complaining that the new Sim City is about building cities and exactly like the ones before it?

That was a pretty sick Montage. Thanks for bringing it forward.

But after that you realize its the same thing as COD 4/4.2.
The only difference were the kill streak achievements such as the Napalm stike, and the car

Ya i know.

I've been telling my friends for days now.. why dont they implement dragons which you can kill. And if you kill one you unlock a perk where you get wings and you can fly.

And then to like make it more unique they should add in an extra mode called 'Cod Cruisers', where you all get bikes and cars and can drive around everywhere, racing each other.

Key-J · **Posted:** Sun Nov 07, 2010 8:00 pm

Pretty good commercial.

Also made me happy

Didnt you guys watch that video where some guys were sitting talking about Black Ops, and they suggested CoD Medieval Ops, they started describing Kill Streaks and shit, i was like OMG that actually would be pretty epic!

Miguez · **Joined:** Nov 2008 **Posts:** 5003 **Location:**

Ok but there wouldn't be many weapon choices lol...

Bow and arrow, crossbow and melee weapons?

Key-J · **Posted:** Sun Nov 07, 2010 10:11 pm

http://g4tv.com/videos/49685/Metallica- ... s-Launch-/

US Launch of CoD BO

n yeah, not that many choices of weapons, but you can you know "customize' weapons.

So Melee, can have ur swords, axes clubs blah blah, but you can have "specialty swords"

Like imagine Sword = AR
In the Sword (AR) you have different ones.
Katana (ACR)
Broad Sword (Scar)
Scimitar (Tar-21)
ect..

Same thing with Axes (LMG) Bows (Snipers) X-Bows (Subs)

Then u have ur killstreaks, i dono 7KS Dragons breath, pretty much EXACTLY like Napalm but - the Fighter Jet and Explosions, just a dragon flyover with fire.

4KS Trebuchet - Choose a place for "artillery"

You know, let ur imagination run!

Is anyone else concerned that people have golden guns before the game is even released? Is this game going to be ruined by modders as well?

Miguez · **Joined:** Nov 2008 **Posts:** 5003 **Location:**

I hope not...

I think it has to do with split screen or something...
