Call of Duty:Black Ops 2

[G The Resurrected]

Damn, and I was gonna buy it on WiiU so I could play from the crapper or bed... there goes that idea.

[Stoney Mason]

Man I really dig the mp here. I'm kinda addicted to it which hasn't happened in a COD game in a very long time for me. It's my favorite since COD 4.

I tried the campaign. Seems fun enough although its completely bat shit insane. I dig the future stuff. In fact I'd like to see Treyarch take a swing at a non-cod futuristic title so they could go completely balls out on future stuff.

Agree on the Strike Force missions though. That should have been a separate co-op mode or something if they wanted to try something like that. Not part of the campaign. It's annoying and not explained especially well in the tutorial.

[Vizzys]

its fun

the lag can be noticeably bad sometimes

and the weapon balance isnt perfect, smgs are king for the most part

[Diunx]

So I played this a bit today.

dislike it.

But you played it on PS3, right?

 

What's wrong with the ps3 version?

played quite a bit of this today, gameplay still exactly the same but the maps don't hold a candle to BLOPS 1 maps.

From what I read, aside from the typical framerate issues, the game has freezing problems and the picture quality looks like someone smeared Vaseline all over everything.  I've never bothered with CoD on PS3 for these reasons...360 always gets the better version.

They're way better IMO.

[Stoney Mason]

You should try league play if you haven't already. I'm enjoying it. And the players typically in that play list seem to play the objective a bit more.

What's the best gametype for XP so I can prestige quick?

Also Nuketown Zombies is up on the in-game store for free, dunno if its a glitch or not. It keeps looping from 99% to 0%, lol.

I did the Zombies easter egg, was kinda cool. Working on the 160 challenges now.

Thanks for the heads up on Nuketown Zombies.

Best games to get points:
Domination
Search and Destroy
Hardcore

There is something with this game that kicks me off XBL. It's happened to me at least 6 times this weekend. To add salt to the wound, I'm getting a 1 minute "probation" for quitting pub matches without finishing the match. It's infuriating.

Weird. I can't say that's happened to me. Could it be a portforwarding issue?

[Brehvolution]

I'll try that. My NAT is open so idk.

[Stoney Mason]

Finished up the campaign this evening. It's not best COD campaign and its not the worst. It's average on the COD scale. I like stuff like the Noriega stuff where it goes into the black ops vibe and I like the future stuff. In fact I wish they would just go whole hog with the future stuff in the next one.

[FatalT]

I have this on the 360 and I'm going to buy it for the PS3 (I have it rented out from Blockbuster right now) eventually because I have so many friends that play it on the PS3 as well. I'm really enjoying it!

[Brehvolution]

There is no reason to have a launcher in this game. Anyone NOT using Overkill in all their builds

I was thinking about that too, actually.  My 360 friends list has become a wasteland of people on Hulu or Netflix recently.

I have a few overkill classes but honestly I generally just roll with my primary and instead get more perks or something. If I run out of ammo I just pick up a gun off of whoever I killed.

[bork]

I just do Team Deathmatch and am really enjoying myself.  DEM MAPS.

[Stoney Mason]

It's solidly settled into my favorite COD. Some people have issues with the lag but honestly all cod games have issues with lag. That's going to happen with low time to kill and no dedicated servers. Maybe next gen dedicated servers will finally come. But overall I dig the mp a lot.

[demi]

TDM is wack. I enjoy Hardpoint the most along with Kill Confirmed.

Got my 1000 and waiting for some Zombie DLC...

[Joe Molotov]

$40 at Best Buy this week and I have a $30 RZ coupon, hmmm...

Kill confirmed replaced TDM in cod for in Mw 3 and the same holds for black ops 2. Hardpoint is pretty cool too.

Probably should. CoD games seem to stay above $30 for awhile.

Map pack drops tomorrow

[Brehvolution]

The Revolution map pack is great. Way better maps than half the stock ones.

Maps I hate:
Aftermath
Turbine
Yemen

I wish you can choose which maps not to play.

The Peacemaker is ok once you level it up. Long barrel and grip is where its at.

Since I just prestiged, I permanently unlocked the AN-94 and use that or the peacemaker. The AN-94 is the last AR that you unlock and for good reason. It's a badass.

[ManaByte]

Best CoD since CoD4 for sure. I don't know if I'm going to buy the map pack, though. I think they're kind of expensive.

Season Pass.

[demi]

I was one step away from doing Die Rise easter egg, but we fucked up at the end and people were starting to get tired and wanted to go to bed. I was pissed.

[Positive Touch]

  that season pass costs as much as the damn game

4 $15 map packs = $60

You save $20 with the Season Pass.

This. I never understand the recent anger at season passes and such. The DLC is coming no matter what.

Those maps you mentioned are definitely some of the least liked although personally I only really hate Yemen among that group. I hope they bring back a couple of Black Ops 1 maps like Firing Range, Grid, etc.

The Peacekeeper is good. Feels like an ACR. And yeah the AN94 is my favorite assault rifle.

[Positive Touch]

im not mad at the season pass, im saying that the season pass is still expensive as fuck. you get a lot of content, sure, but $100+ is a hell of a lot of money for one game.

[demi]

It's worth it to those who play it a lot lot lot lot


 i.e. not you

[ManaByte]

For some people CoD is the only game they buy every year. See Madden for another example.

[Stoney Mason]

If you didn't buy Black Ops 2 early, you get Nuke Town 2025 for free today.

They also put in micro-transaction purchase items like class slots, emblems, gun camo, etc.

[Stoney Mason]

Probably my last bump for this thread before it goes into the graveyard of threads.


I can now say this is my favorite cod of all time on the mp side with the time I've put in. (Almost 200 hours) Even topping or at least matching COD 4. It's not revolutionary like COD 4 but its the one I would pick to play along with COD 4 if somebody forced me to choose. Just a really well balanced edition for a COD game with the fewest amount of annoying shit that I hate relative to the other titles. And it will have to last for next year because I'm done with the non-Treyarch COD's. They are the only ones that really understand that franchise.

I even watched that COD championship thing today. Normally I find MLG level play very boring but that was actually some entertaining stuff especially since they allow some killstreaks in which they didn't in prior COD's.


New map pack coming up and while I don't actually play zombies I thought the video was well put together. The next map pack will also have a remake of firing range which was one of my favorite COD maps of all time.




 

[Brehvolution]

I'll get this pack. The last map pack was really good. I hope they have a mode where you only play on DLC maps after this.

[Stoney Mason]

They took out the probation thing for awhile but then put it back in later. I actually don't have a problem with it but yeah its silly because it can't determine often between matches that just get disconnected from randomly and matches where you actually quit.

[demi]

Die Rise was a really shitty zombie map. TranZit is much better. Mob of the Dead looks more classic, no stupid azzzzzzzzzzzz vertical deaths.

[demi]

Not really. Just memorize the layout, where the perks are, etc.

Set up spots you feel comfortable at doing zombie trains (lead zombies in a circle while periodically - or in earlier levels, blasting them with headshots)

I only find Zombies fun when going for the easter eggs, since there is a goal involved. I'm not interested in getting high scores.

[Brehvolution]

Zombies are dumb. Go online and fight something that has a brain behind it.

[Brehvolution]

I am and mute all is a clear option. You can play them without having to listen to them.

Just prestiged for the second time. Didn't hear a word from any bitch.

COD Multi is insanely boring.

[Brehvolution]

I have fun with it. :manny

[Stoney Mason]

Can't wait to play the new firing range. 

[Brehvolution]

I'm liking the new maps. Doing pretty well on them too. My first 3 matches went 16/9, 16/9, 17/5.

The thing that sucks is I just prestiged and don't have half my shit anymore.

Yeah I like most of the maps and don't really hate any of them.


I almost never play zombies but I tried the mob of the dead thing and thought it was decent.

[Brehvolution]

My son loves the zombies so he wanted this update for his birthday. But I don't care for it.

[Stoney Mason]

On my own choice I would never play zombies. The group I play with that enjoys it so I have to endure it about once a month.
