If black ops 2 is black ops with specialist kill streak I will be happy.

Hope that the currency and wager matches are back. Can't beat a bit of sticks and stones.

Can't come quick enough. Fun maps will return, something IW have ignored.
Eh, all this talk about balance, I'm not going to be very kind to either Treyarch or IW.

Thing is, Cod4 was absolutely amazing. It was balanced, yet all the guns had distinguishing features and a niche to fit into. Okay, maybe the M16 was a bit powerful, but you had to be accurate, and you had to run Stopping power to make it effective.

The Cod4 maps were brilliant too, and the way they played out (whether or not it was intentional) was perfect, with the exception of Wetwork... but if nothing else, Wetwork was fair and balanced.

But why, no, how can Treyarch and IW mess up what is already a winning formula? I would buy a game that was a re-skin of Cod4, but with new maps and better graphics and a few new gametypes (and perhaps a few more features).

IW did that with MW2, but made the mistake of straying too far from the path. Every other Cod is too unlike Cod4 to be a great game. I do not understand how they manage to continually go wrong. It's not like it's a massive, multi-million dollar franchise...
I must be the only person here who thinks the map Vacant is not all that then...
oh me oh my, the four maps came out for ps3 non-elite members today.

probably the worst map pack of any cod game, unless you're a sniper.

terrible (piazza is ok).

edit: £11.49 for four maps is hilarious btw.

It's actually cheaper to get elite, even if you're only interested in the map packs. Elite will also carry over into BO2. If you're not that interested in paying at all then it's fine not to bother though, Elite is still a rip-off. But then, the maps are obviously a bigger rip-off...

What's even more hilarious is that you probably still have to pay that kind of price for the COD4/WAW/MW2/BO map packs.

I looked a couple of weeks ago for the WAW map packs, about £10 each.

The hit detection was pretty shambolic on BO - just hope they make the gameplay feel more smoother (something similar to MW2).

Good games last night :smile: Jeet too :wink:

It was pretty fun - although 3 v 3 would be more interesting in snd.

That's why I haven't bought any ones from COD4 and WaW, especially given how often I end up being placed in modded lobbies. Should start playing again. :cool:

Why is team deathmatch so hard compared to free for all? :frown:
Has anyone got any tips - on free for all I'm quite good and usually get a K/D of 2 at the end of each game, and I've got a 29 kill streak but on team deathmatch I've got about 1000 kills and I've literally never got more than 3 kills in a row, even when I put on assassin pro and camp then someone just knows where I am and jumps out and kills me.

Because you are a camper :colone:
UPDATE:
Apparently the release date of the trailer has been changed to the beginning of May, either the 1st or 3rd but still not sure. I love MW3 despite it's flaws, and I find Black Ops easier nowadays too, I just hope Black Ops 2 will have a sick campaign and that it isn't just for people who can't play well ¬_¬ lag comp my arse
i will probably* still get black ops even after the sheer dissapointment of modern warfare 3. I most defiantley will NOT be buyign elite or any dlc to start with for sure


*the game engine defs needs a lot of tweaking and the sound needs a massive improvement from black ops 1!
I'll get the new COD as I always do but definitely no DLC. I haven't bought for MW3 and I plan on keeping it that way. I really hope it has decent hit detection, no bull**** last stand/final stand/dead mans hand, and not as noob friendly as recent games have increasingly gotten.
If I do get Black Ops 2 I won't be renewing my Elite subscription either. I haven't even downloaded any of the MW3 maps yet.

I agree with jermaindefoe about the engine. Overall Black Ops wasn't that bad, despite Ghost and Second Chance, but the hit detection was crap and then sound was rubbish as well.

I wonder what the May 1st reveal will actually be. I'm guessing it will be a short trailer mostly regarding the single player, with a short multiplayer teaser on the end. They'll probably have a separate event for the multiplayer reveal like they did for Black Ops.

Do you play with anyone on your friend's list? SitRep Pro and Quickdraw Pro should help. Do you use extended magazines too? I'll be getting them for the MK14 some time this year. :rolleyes:

1) Know where your enemies are.
2) If there's one, there's probably two.
3) Check your 6
4) Stick to the edge of maps if you want kill streaks
5) Know your choke points
6) Unless you win gun battles 75%+ of the time, keep moving.

That's the main points for me when playing CoD. I particularly like to flank the enemy where possible, especially with a silenced weapon near to where they spawn :colone: My fave place for this in all CoDs is Derail, especially my team are attack West > East.
