that screenie looks pretty good
[QUOTE=usaokay;37819331]I don't play CoD's post-WaW multiplayer because it has gotten so fucking horrible.[/QUOTE] Blops was pretty okay. Far better balanced than CoD4 and WaW.
This is a great idea. Too many games basically just dump new players into the multiplayer fray to just get ass-raped repeatedly; Battlefield Bad Company was pretty bad with this, when you just start playing and everyone is killing you in a couple shots because they've unlocked Magnum ammunition on everything.
Seems like a smart way of doing things. I haven't bought a CoD game in a few years but Treyarch really seems to be doing a good job with Black Ops II; they might just have my money this time around.
Nooooooo! I said MW3 was the last CoD game I'd buy, but this is looking sooooo gooood...
When it gets cheaper i might buy it just for the Single player and zombie mode. World at War will always remain my favorite Call of Duty game :v:

Are they bringing back bots? I loved that.
Haven't bought a COD game since MW2. I think I'll have to buy this one.
Umm maybe the reason not everyone plays its multi player is because of the shitty IWnet or whatever they use? If they were to go back using the same system in cod WaW or cod2 that would be the best. Also mods.

A new MM has long been overdue.
Also, Campaign will be replay-able for once, since there will be an option to transfer weapons from the future-to-past and vice-versa.
Looks interesting, I know I've been negative about CoD in the past but I must say the online is terribly addictive, I would buy this if it weren't for the million pound price tag, and me being a 15 year old living with a single parent that earns bare minimum to pay for bills/food :( Also CoD4 is and always will be the best CoD, alongside 2.
[QUOTE=dass;37819368]Nooooooo! I said MW3 was the last CoD game I'd buy, but this is looking sooooo gooood...[/QUOTE] I'm just not buying any more CoD titles from IW/Sledgehammer. MW2 was mediocre and MW3 was actually worse. Treyarch's CoD titles have always been enjoyable though.
I rarely play Multi-Player alone. I tend to get on my lap-top, boot up skype and play in a party with my friends. Once you get in a big group with friends, CoD's multiplayer can be tons of fun.
I haven't bought a CoD game since Call of Duty 2. /hipster
Because it's not like cod's multiplayer is already easy as fuck to get in to what with the high level unlocks you get as starter packs? Seriously, the first 10-20 levels I just play with the starter packs because the weapons and abilities in them are better than what you're unlocking in the first 20 levels.
Once you have akimbo G18's you don't need anything else to win.

I hated where the rounds lasted for like 10minutes or a very short time. Why cant they go back to the way it was in WaW? Matchmaking fucking sucks

I hope Treyarch actually includes both Matchmaking and the Dedicated Server browser from Black Ops 1, WaW, and MW1 - It's tons better than the fucked up shit IW always uses

I find the single player and co-op portions of the Call of Duty games far more interesting than the competitive, but I feel that most people think the opposite.
