[QUOTE=simkas;35794385]Yes it does. Several endings, branching storyline, open-world missions.[/QUOTE] They promise that, yes. Just like Bioware promised that every action in Mass Effect 3 will have consequence and that it will wrap up the series, etc. etc. etc. Then a bunch of suckers will buy the game on release date and whine all over the internet that they got ripped off, because they didn't knew better than believing everything PR departments say.

[QUOTE=simkas;35794458]They didn't promise that, they showed that. The previews aren't written by Treyarch, you know.[/QUOTE] Err...what? Nothing in the preview says anything about open-world missions, from the looks of it, it's just a bigger corridor, Crysis 2 style. Also, How exactly did they show "Several endings" and "branching storyline" in the preview?

But it gets bigger. Things you do in the game will impact the overall state of the United States' cold war with China as well as the level of success that Menendez achieves. Some of these changes will be choice-based, but others will hinge on player skill. The clearest example of that on display to us was a Strike Force mission, which takes the campaign in a pretty different direction. These missions are attached to the story, but put you in the role of a team of SEALs who are out to capture a set of objectives. How you achieve these objectives is sort of up to you, giving the game a bit of a sandbox vibe, but overall it looked like a multiplayer sort of map overhauled to give it a set of single-player objectives--points that need to be captured, and so on. If you like, you can stay in the role of a soldier and run around, just like any other Call of Duty game. But you can also pop out of that soldier and get above the battle in "overwatch" mode. From above, you can order your forces around the map like a mini-RTS or pop into any unit to take direct control. This means you can directly control quadcopters, assault drones, and other non-human units. If the unit you're controlling is destroyed, you'll have to find a new unit to control and play continues as normal. But here's the catch: if you run out of units, you fail the mission and the action continues on. Those SEALs didn't capture that objective, and that will have some sort of impact on the overall story. You'll certainly be able to take multiple attempts at the Strike Force scenarios in case you want to ensure a specific outcome, but the idea of hitting a fail state and continuing onward is pretty exciting. At the very least, it's definitely not something I was expecting to find in a Call of Duty game.[/quote] And if they said it's going to have several endings and a branching story, obviously it will, they're not just gonna say that and then only have one ending and one story.
I'm better off buying Crysis 3 (aka New York part 2) than Black Ops 2. Here I am hoping BO2 is still in the cold war era. They could have covered the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan or the Falklands as a part of a REAL BLACK OPS mission but instead, we are treated to this "Future shooter". I really want to go find this moron who wrote the story to this game. Really I do. Rather than calling it Black Ops, why couldn't they have called it FUTURE OPS. That would have been an appropriate title.

[QUOTE=simkas;35794564]What?[/QUOTE] Bioware promised different endings but ended up just doing one ending with 3 different color filters.
[QUOTE=Jack Trades;35794574]Bioware promised different endings but ended up just doing one ending with 3 different color filters.[/QUOTE] That's a completely different thing. They said the game will have different endings and it did, they were shitty but they didn't just do the complete opposite of what they said.

Also, I love how they say that Zombies are the "lifeblood" of CoD when they only been in like 10% of all CoD games.

I'll give them props for trying something new. But it's still CoD so it isn't really anything new. It's like shitting diarrhea instead of taking a normal shit. It's all shit.
Holy SHIT Jack Trades you're trying to grasp at any reason/opinions to hate this game.
[QUOTE=Jack Trades;35794881]Says someone who have been permad..twice.[/QUOTE] 50 Months ago. Nice. Not to mention you've got over twice as many bans as him.
It actually looks nice i mean sure the grapics are outdated but its going to be fun to play.

[QUOTE=Foda;35792552]it looks so bad... the textures, shaders.. well everything I suppose looks pre 2010. It's like they don't even care.[/QUOTE] great visuals doesn't need great graphics
