Official Black Ops 2 thread

I'll probably buy it too. If it comes to PSN.
For all the vitriol we spill on it, it's still pretty good fun with friends, and it's good to jump in for 30 minutes or so every now and again.

Not buying.

Myself Chris and Dave had some good fun on Black Ops 1 last night.
We only played wager matches, and they are really good fun with friends.

Any ways, black ops 2 does away with kill streaks and goes for score multiplyer... could be a good direction for the game to go, Modern Warfare 2 was hideous for multiple kill streaks on screen at the same time. You got on a bad team, you paid the price, spawn die, spawn die, spawn die, for about 3 minutes. It was horrible. However if you were on the good team, it was fun, but no one leaves the good team right?

I couldn't get anywhere following that link, but I suspect I'm just not doing it right.

Meh - I was on a train at 5.

It's online now, I was a day early!

CoDCasting!
Play 6v6 as normal, but you can have a commentator stream the gameplay.
The commentator can switch players, has control of the display screen, so you can view maps, stats, picture in picture, squad emblems and tons more.

Sounds amazing.

here comes the band wagon.
2 weeks after release, it'll be shit.
Sits on shelf till black ops 3.

We've been here for the past 3 years doing the same sorta threads.. lol.
They all looks and sound amazing, but you know what happens in the end..

[DJ-Daz]

Absolutely true, in the past.
I hope this can be different, not that I'll know of course, I still have a faulty Blu-ray drive, so I won't find out until it's on PSN.

In the past (MW2, and Black ops 1) the killer for me was the killstreaks, having multiple killstreaks all attacking you at once was a complete ball ache. Now they've been removed... it should be better.

Sounds like camping will be rife in this one, as dying wipes your score streak apparently...

Still, if I don't have to get airstriked every 20 seconds, that has to be an improvement right?
