Yeah you would be surprised... Not like Black Ops 1 had a voice protagonist with a background and such and Black Ops 2 expanded on that with choices and an array of characters.Proverbial Jon said:
Oh wait.
God, I understand people hate CoD, but really it's starting to become childish and ignorant.
A new subtitle is the closest we can get to a new IP from Activision. I find that hilarious. But I haven't played a CoD game in years, so I might be interested in a new subtitle.
They don't really need to time travel, they can just wait.Machine Man 1992 said:
Personally I'd prefer to be the ghost of Cpt. Price Senior, hunting down dem terrorists with my ghost powers. Maybe with the ghost of Gaz as backup.
My guts say "It will be MW2 with a different playable character". You know, exactly like MW3. Except this time, they let it set parallel and the game ends with your character getting killed (again) - cue credits and a hint to buy MW2 and MW3 to see the "true ending"...
You're quite right and I'm sorry; that was rather childish. But I couldn't resist!Korten12 said:
The last COD game I played was Modern Warfare 2 and I didn't think it was anything special. That's not the game's fault by any stretch, they're always incredibly polished and play really well... but they're just not the sort of games for me. I like really story-centric games and I honestly couldn't remember much of anything that ever happened in any COD game.
Hey, maybe that's changed now with Back Ops but it's just not a franchise I wish to spend my money on any more. Your mileage may vary, as they say.
To be fair to you, I'm going to pull a number out of my ass and guess that 80% of CoD buyers buy the game for its multiplayer? And I wouldn't consider XxXsukmybarr3l69XxX to be a named character.Proverbial Jon said:
I agree that CoD gets too much hate from some parts of the gaming community, just like WoW gets a whole lot of flak from the everyone-who-doesnt-play-WoW community. But voiced protagonists in a CoD game? Probably the least memorable ever. Probably.
I miss the original idea, you know, when the title of the game actually had some relevance instead of the protagonist being Rambo Mk.48 and was just your average Joe?
And all over the internet there are posts of people complaining about the way CoD games never change, despite the fact that this isn't even out yet and that most of them admittedly haven't played one in ages. Lots of people actually enjoy CoD... actually a lot of people do judging by the sales. If the game is so bad as people say, the sales simply wouldn't be that good.
Saying that, I prefer Treyarch CoD games. Zumbehs, 'nuff said.

I hate to be that guy and I'm sure it was just hyperbole but seriously, look at most games made, their names can be reduced to this. Halo: It's focused on these huge rings called Halos, Portal: A portal based puzzle game and The Elder Scrolls series: Name each one after the area they are set in. Why call a game something outlandish if it has absolutely nothing to do with the game.unstabLized said:
DLCception? Don't give them any ideas...unless they've already thought of the always-on DRM too...*shudder*CriticalMiss said:
My guess(and hope) is that ghosts will cover some of the five years between MW and MW2, including the formation of TF 141, the rise of Makarov in the wake of Zakavs death and presumably showing the character "Ghost" from MW2, as well as showing how Soap ran the unit after Cpt. Price disappeared.
Oh, dear glob, NO! Not again! Fuck, I'm probably the only person who plays CoD for the story and let me tell you, Blops 2's story had me confused from beginning to end. Call me dumb but I just couldn't understand what was going on. I mean, I got the gist of it but don't ask me to get into details about it.
OT: I can see this happening. Release date: November? Check. Some "badass" soldier on the cover? Check. Related to MW? Check. "Accidental" leak? Check. I mean, we all knew Blops 2 was coming out before they made the official announcement. Heck, I remember being told at work (GS) to not tell anyone Blops 2 was the next CoD game even though we all knew that already. Reason being was because since the official announcement wasn't out yet, we'd be lying to the customers.
So yeah, sounds plausible.
Okay. *calls you dumb*Beautiful End said:
Happy? Did ask you asked because the story of BO2 is NOT hard to follow. I had more problems with MW1 and MW2 on the first run (mostly because the two storylines in the first didn't seem to be too related until the very end and in the latter seemed to lack a connection between the missions in general)
BO2 on the other hand, I didn't have a problem. At all, even with the multiple outcomes.
On the other hand, the story for MW was easier to follow for me. Blops 2 kept going back and forth between the past and the future that it was hard for me to follow at times. Like I said, I got the gist of it but I'm pretty sure I missed a lot of important plot point.Bindal said:
So I guess in our case, it's more of a personal opinion rather than one being absolutely right about it.
