Poll: Why are you buying Black Ops?

[Asuka Soryu]

Thanks alot. That "Girlies think I'm Pretty Fly, for a White Guy" made me hit it over my actual choice.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Well, I picked hype. I felt stupid, but I'm honestly buying it because those Rolling Stones trailers are FUCKING SICK.

 

[David_G]

Because I have all CoD games that have come out on PC at home, and I have been disappointed by none of them.

 

[Alon Shechter]

...And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly for a white guy!

 

[C95J]

No.1 reason: Nazi Zombies
No.2 reason: Multiplayer
No.3 reason: Campaign

Can't wait until Monday

I'm so proud of the escapist for the majority poll option as not buying the game <3.

 

[Smooth Operator]

It's a Treyarch production, all the games sofar were a great steaming turd on the series, I have no intention of supporting them.

 

[Steppin Razor]

Because I enjoy running around and shooting people with modern weapons in games. Because, not including a few rounds of Gun Game on CSS a couple years back, Modern Warfare 2 has been the most multiplayer fun I've ever had. And the new currency system really strikes a chord with the customisation-whore part of me.

I'm not buying Black Ops, but if I do I'm buying it for several reasons:
1) The single player sounds promising.
2) The zombie mode involves world leaders battling zombies inside the Pentagon, and also a map set in Hitler's Bunker.
3) There's a frikin' level that takes place in my hometown of Hong Kong.

 

[rastlin1985]

where's the 'all of the above' option?

particular highlight for me will probably be the wager matches, assuming currency is genuinely worth anything (as the adverts i've seen suggest). i can already imagine my friends threatening revenge over live

 

[shadow741]

Because it comes out on my B-day.

 

[MrShowerHead]

My friend made me buy it.
Well, I hope I have enough money when it comes out

 

[TheHecatomb]

I'm not. I have no interest in competitive online play and I'm not going to pay 60 bucks for another 3-4 hours of singleplayer campaign. I'm likely to download it, play the campaign and then toss it off my harddrive. Maybe if the campaign turns out really REALLY good I'll buy it when it's on the discount shelves next year.

 

[York_Beckett]

I'm not.

 

[IBlackKiteI]

...and also a map set in Hitler's Bunker.

Whoa man! Awesome! Where did you hear this?

EDIT: Wait...are you being sarcastic or something...?

 

[ShadowsofHope]

Modern Warfare 2 left a rotten garbage dump in my mouth after playing through it's campaign and multiplayer, so I'm waiting this one out to see if it really lives up to it's hype. Then again, nothing ever does.

 

[Kevonovitch]

i wont buy it till it proves it has quality again, besides a fun sp, and zombies. if it's JUST that, i can wait till it's 5-10$

 

[TomLikesGuitar]

I didn't think there were this many sensible people on the Escapist. I'm actually extremely glad that there are people here who won't buy shitty games just because they look cool. I mean, didn't you kiddies learn your freaking lesson with MW2?

 

[Omikron009]

My buying Black Ops or not almost entirely depends on whether or not one of my friends is willing to play split screen. I don't have xbox live, and we played Modern Warfare 2 splitscreen together for around 25 hours total, until he refused to play ever again after I owned him particularly hard one day. If he's willing to play as much splitscreen as we did in MW2, I'm definitely buying it.

 

[Something Amyss]

I don't like FPS.

So definitely not getting it.

(Clicked the thread out of curiosity to see if there was an "I'm not getting it" option, just to avert the "then why did you post here" stuff)
