Call of Duty: Black Ops II review round-up
Does Activision’s latest murder simulator shoot to thrill or shoot to kill?
To be honest it doesn't really look like much fun.
"Its the same as every other COD game out there - lets give it 8/10... whats that Bobby? Yessir. Make it 9/10"
It looks so bloody dull.Quote:

You're welcome to dislike the game but it doesn't mean others have to feel the same way.
Meh. The last CoD game I bought was the first Black Ops and I don't see myself buying this one either. Maybe one day when it's really cheap I might reconsider; I rather enjoy the campaigns of Treyarch's CoD games but it's not worth R700 for just that.
havent played any MW but what I can say for Blops is its gameplay and fun factor is off the scale.
Always gonna be angry people with a voice go back to minecraft :P :P :P
Chill. It was a stab at CoD. No hard feelings?Quote:

Neither of those had a zombie mode?? :pQuote:

Then why are you telling people what their opinion on the game should be? By all means, have an opinion, but don't tell other people who have actually played the game what their's should be.Quote:

Oh, and neither MW1 or 3 had zombies.
Multiplayer mods,they still use the old engine so it's easy to mod.Quote:

Predictable? I'm sorry, but what?
(I don't even like CoD myself, I'm just honestly trying to figure out how someone who plays one generic military FPS slags off another equally generic military FPS)
Exactly! And excuse me but how does MP become predictable? With all the diffrent playstyle's and so forth...Quote:

@Graal,if you think BF3 is generic (if you are referring to BF3 btw) then name 5 other games that came out in the last 5 years that allows you to drive tanks,boats,jets and heli's with a large array of weapons.
My main point is that Blops2 doesn't deserve any special attention,play it if you like i'm not gonna tell you what you or shouldn't play but it's just about the most generic fps out there.
Does it do anything different from the other cod games?
And this doesn't happen in BF3? Every match in BF3 feels much the same to me, players always using the same tactics, same routes, etc.Quote:

Does BF3 do anything differently from the other BF games? Aside from dumbing down the BF franchise, of course.Quote:

I just think it's really retarded for people to slam CoD, for being... Call of Duty. That while they praise another generic FPS for apparently being the best thing since sliced bread, despite it doing the exact same thing CoD is doing, just not on a yearly schedule.
Basically you've got filthy FPS peasants calling other FPS peasants peasants for being FPS peasants. See where this is going?

I'm not praising BF3 by the way,i gave it a rest for a month or so.I could argue with you all day (or night) but i might as well be talking to a brick wall.
I could say much the same thing.
You're bashing CoD for being the same thing it's always been, yet you play BF3, which is pretty much the same thing it's always been.
It's not so much that I'm trying to praise and/or defend CoD as it is I'm trying to point out a certain hypocrisy in those who so feverishly bash CoD and it's players every chance they get.
Ultimately, what this whole CoD bashing thing comes down to is one group of hobgoblins having a popularity contest with another group of hobgoblins, while in the end they're all hobgoblins and everyone else looks down on them with disdain anyway.
And CoD has zombies, does BF3 have zombies?
Can people stop using these tiny differences to separate and defend their game as the best. End of the day its a FPS modern day soldier, they are both exactly the same just with a different paint scheme.
Also until you've actually played the game, you don't have the ability to disclaim a fair opinion.
Like I've said before people who argue BF vs CoD might as well be teenage girls with team werewolf thing vs shiny vampires. Its the same story
heh,I'm still not sure why you keep bringing BF3 in.
My main argument was that Blops2 doesn't deserve such high scores by being a copy paste.
People might as well be praising a platinum road because it was a gold road last year and a silver road before that even though it still has the same rusted signs and old traffic lights.
The thing with reviewers is they rate the game not the series. But you on the other hand rate blops2 based on the series which is shit. Its A good game no doubt about it. But you haven't even played blops 2 yet. So you don't know if its a copy paste or not. And btw its not, they changed allot.Quote:

For pure mp, i would still probably go play bf3 99% of thr time, but so far the sp in blops2 is far more of a 'ride' than bf3, zombie mode is a cool extra value feature and the mp is fast and brutal. No complaints other than my 32 year old reflexes are showing :)
And let us be honest, if we wanted ' realistic' we would be playing arma2 every night.
hahahaha there will always be a war between BF3 players and COD players.
I think think both games bring something different to the gamers. I really enjoy playing both games it just depends on what my mood is at the time.
@ anyone that has Bops2
Does it also have as much issues as the first 1?
I am really interested in buying a copy but I want the game to work before I get.
No issues here. What should I look out for?Quote:

It doesn't even look like people are complaining about the series, looks more like their upset since they brought out a sequel / another game under a popular brand.
Its a series that's very popular, of course their gonna create another game.
Now based on the above comments about bringing out another copy paste game, I expect the same harsh harassment for BF4 from the same users.
I've played Cod4 since 2007, online, occasionally competitivley. It is the best FPS online out there, close behind is BF3.
The call of duties since cod4 have been average online, i've played WAW - Mw3. I started playing BF3 in the begining and hated it. Now it's a game I always play. Are you telling me that BLOPS 2 online, will drastically change my opinion on call of duty online in its current state?
You can't really compare Cod and BF,one is centered around small maps and infantry play while the other is centered around small,medium and large maps with both infantry and vehicle play.Quote:

I'll try out Blops2 when the price drops below R300.
And our main argument is that you're a complete tosser because you want to tell people how they should be feeling about the game when you haven't even played the game yourself.Quote:

Maybe if you got that stick out of your ass and looked past all your internet rage kiddie bullshit you'd realise that, accept that CoD isn't your type of game, and then move on with your life without feeling the need to insult people because their taste doesn't align with yours.
Or, you know, you can continue to be 'edgy', doing things like slagging off games you haven't even played yet in a typical circle-jerk fashion.
