BO2 MP rumoured multiplayer and release date details hit official forums - and they're lookin' prett - Polidicks

Treyarch and Activision are yet to officially announce anything about the next Call of Duty. We can expect all that to be revealed around E3 time, but there’s already plenty of evidence about suggesting that this year’s CoD will be [URL="http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/02/20/call-of-duty-black-ops-2-spotted-on-dev-cv-and-amazon/"]Black Ops 2[/URL]. A big list of features and changes attributed to the upcoming sequel has been plonked on the Black Ops forums, and since removed, and then reuploaded to some different forums, and then removed again.[URL="http://mp1st.com/2012/03/27/rumor-black-ops-2-multiplayer-information-leaked/"]MP1st[/URL] noticed pulled the info from a cached copy of one of those forum posts. The list contains lots of precise details about returning game modes, ditched game modes, ditched gadgets (like the RC XD), balance changes and word of a November release date. If true, these details suggest that we’re not going to see a major engine upgrade from the new CoD, the info reads more like a patch list than a list of sequel features, but it’s all just rumour for now. Here’s the full list.[B] Leaked Black Ops 2 Multiplayer Information [/B]This year, Call of Duty will return with it’s ninth installment with Black Ops 2. As expected it will be following Treyarch’s previous game Black Ops. It’s release date is set for the 6th of November.

Bots now have an advance AI system Similar to the behavior seen in the MW3 Spec Ops survival [URL]http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/03/29/call-of-duty-black-ops-2-rumoured-multiplayer-and-release-date-details-hit-official-forums/?ns_campaign=article-feed&ns_mchannel=ref&ns_source=steam&ns_linkname=0&ns_fee=0[/URL]

Keep on milking it.

Considering this was the second or third time this happened in a row, I'm pretty sure these "leaks" are deliberately done by Activision.

[QUOTE=Wormy;35355972]No killstreaks? I cannot believe this.[/QUOTE] They got rid of killstreaks in favour of pointstreaks in MW3

They removed deathstreaks. How will I now ever succeed at this game with all the spaztic 12 year olds with jet-pilot reaction times.

[QUOTE=GREN EYGS N HAM;35356017]They removed deathstreaks. How will I now ever succeed at this game with all the spaztic 12 year olds with jet-pilot reaction times.[/QUOTE] Deathstreaks weren't in BO1 keep in mind, treyach have never done it and I thank them for it because deathstreaks are absolute shit.

no last stand fuck you activision, and escort is definitely going to be a huge clusterfuck seeing as everyone in this game dies in one hit. and no rc suicide bomber what the hell, that thing was hilarious.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;35356035]Deathstreaks weren't in BO1 keep in mind, treyach have never done it and I thank them for it because deathstreaks are absolute shit.[/QUOTE] Oh yeah now I remember. They just gave you extra points for killing someone after going on a deathstreak.

[QUOTE=GREN EYGS N HAM;35356017]They removed deathstreaks. How will I now ever succeed at this game with all the spaztic 12 year olds with jet-pilot reaction times.[/QUOTE] Amazing how they parry shotgun blasts to the face and still kill you. This seems promising, but I require more this time. The maps following BO's size instead of MW3 is extremely good though. MW3's maps are probably the worst.

If it's anything, at least Treyarch realises their strengths and weaknesses and adds new features and removes shit to their games to compensate, unlike Infinity Ward. Still hate the milking though.

[QUOTE=Starpluck;35355988]Considering this was the second or third time this happened in a row, I'm pretty sure these "leaks" are deliberately done by Activision.[/QUOTE] its so clumsy you can almost hear the executives yabbering about how theyre "so with the times" leaking tiny bits of information at a time because that gets the mouthbreathers rolling

thank god the map design is following blops than MW3. all of MW3's maps were extremely boring and bland. I hope they return all the customization for your emblem and weapon. Thats what made black ops sooooooo much more fun than MW

[quote]RC XD will not return[/quote] [img]http://facepunch.com/fp/emoot/saddowns.gif[/img] [editline]30th March 2012[/editline] [quote]No MOAB or Nuke No last stand No death streaks[/quote] :smile:

Infected is the name of the Zombie mode, isn't it? Are they not returning it? Also, am I the only person who thinks Escort is going to be played alot at release and will end up never being played at all after a few weeks?

I hope they improve their sound design. I don't know what happened between the transition from WW2 to the Cold War, but BO's weapons sound like garbage.

But is diving back again? I fucked around so much while doing that in Black Ops.

Sounds good, I always preferred Black Ops over MW2 and 3.

This doesn't sound bad at all, might get BO2.

[QUOTE][B]RC XD will not return[/B] No Grenade launcher on hardcore [/QUOTE] RIP :( [QUOTE]No MOAB or Nuke No last stand No death streaks No flame thrower attachment[/QUOTE] woah decent changes

Yeah, you could also say they're leaking the milk for fanboys to suck on.

[QUOTE=Fish Muffin;35356385]Yeah,this is fair and will totally balance the game.[/QUOTE] I'm sure it will be able to be countered with Blind Eye or something similar.

Hated all the recent CoD's, including Black Ops. I'll stick with BF3.

No more last stand is fantastic though, was one of the few things I really hated about BO.

[QUOTE=MisterSjeiks;35356249]Infected is the name of the Zombie mode, isn't it? Are they not returning it?

[QUOTE=ketchup v2;35356723]If you had any situational awareness at all it was easily countered.[/QUOTE] Usually I get around it, but when I'm concentrating on something else and don't have headphones on they can be an absolute pain in the ass.

[QUOTE] Map Design Map design and size will be following Black Ops not Modern Warfare 3[/QUOTE] Holy fuck I hope this is true MW3 had some of the worst map designs I've seen in video games. I dunno about Black Ops 2. I played over 100 hours of Black Ops 1 and it was a blast with friends, but MW3 was a complete disappointment. I'll have to wait and see. [editline]30th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Fish Muffin;35356385]Yeah,this is fair and will totally balance the game.[/QUOTE] Battlefield has had wallhacks since Bad Company 1, I don't see the problem? Atleast this one requires you to kill people, anyone in BF can press Q on someone and now everyone on their team can see threw walls exactly where that person is.
