Anyone going to buy Call of Duty: Black Ops?

For me, it depends on if there will be dedicated servers or not. Kinda hard to run a gaming community on a game without dedicated servers.

No, not really. Im buying it because like most gamers i saw trailers and gameplay and thought i would like it, not for the sole reason of it being a call of duty game. So fanboy? No, not quite. Its actually only the second COD game Ive ever bought.

Why doesn’t someone try to incorporate more Band Of Brothers (HBO series anyone?) epicness? I suppose that might be a bit radical. I mean, I rather liked the Medal Of Honor games like Frontline, Rising Sun and Underground. They could’ve done more with Airborne, but all the same.

You mean like good characters? Gearbox did.

Allen: All I’m saying is, logistically speaking, Superman would tear Batman in half!
Leggett: Are you calling the Batarang a sissy toy?
Garnett: Well, sure, with a name like “Batarang”, who wouldn’t call Batman a sissy?
Leggett: He doesn’t even have a good secret identity. He just puts on glasses and goes around acting like a jerk.
Garnett: It’s a wonder you don’t like him, then, Leggett!
Leggett: I just prefer superheroes that happen to have a brain.
Allen: Leggett! He can shoot laser beams from his eyes! His EYES!
Mac: Knock it off, you three! There’s enough bullshit here to fill a swimming pool.
Garnett: Why would you-
Mac: DON’T.

Which is probably why I loved Operation Flashpoint…! :bulb:

dont forget blizzard :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Hopefully you’re putting them in neither category; they prefer PC gaming, but they make shit games.

well they (Blizzard) certainly stick to RTS and (MMO)RPG.
and isn’t most of us into FPS games? That is why we are waiting for Black Mesa after all.
pretty nerdy game which most people don’t care about but us.

I bought Black Ops the day it came. That game was the biggest waste of $60 in my whole life. The story was shitty, the maps are just plain retarded, and every single time I played it online (which I only played it online twice) someone told me to “GET RAPED!” So needless to day, I traded it back in at GameStop about 4 days after I got it.

What fuckin piece of shit that was

EDIT: Oh Shit! Necropost!! :fffuuu:

By just a touch.

Call of the Dead is the only thing that looks interesting about BO.

Hardly, it looks extremely below average.

I wouldn’t expect anyone here to understand. Most of you stupid shits probably don’t even know who Danny Trejo, Micheal Rooker, Robert Englund, or George Romero are.

You’re not a true nerd if you don’t at least know who George Romero is.

worked at id

made one of the worst games of all time (daikatana)

Please fucking tell me you’re joking and I can’t tell.

Patrick, I think that’s John you’re talking about.

A lot of them probably know how to spell Michael though :wink:

And having those guys in the cast doesn’t change the fact that its yet another fucking zombie game. Is no one else bored of this genre?

You forgot Tom Savini.

Call of the Dead looks like it has an interesting setting, at least in the commercial, but nothing else. Also, just like in the “Five” map’s intro, the setting is cool and funny in the video, but once you actually played it it was just another boring building with recognizable characters you never payed attention to and some funny one liners that quickly started repeating. Oh and expect to pay like 15 dollars for Call of the Dead.

Anyway, I’m waiting for Treyarch’s sequel after MW3: Call of Commie Killer.

Also, the promised mod tools are finally rolling around. Maybe fighting zombies in your own creation will make it just barely interesting enough to play.
