Customization is good and all, but the actual gameplay I saw in that trailer is more or less directly ripped from MW2. The interfaces looked almost identical, as did everything else about the game.
It seems like only Infinity Ward (R.I.P.) was able to actually advance the series at all (which makes sense, since they created it). Just like World at War, it looks like Treyarch is just taking the same exact formula and applying a new coat of paint.

As much as I love MW2, this game seriously looks like it offers nothing new, save for the new setting.Korten12 said:
Though I hate comparing these series because they're quite different, just take a look at what changed from Halo 3 to Halo: Reach:
-Addition of daily and weekly challenges.
-Earning credits, with which you can (superficially) customize your character
-Seamless online integration between all modes of play
-Armor abilities (these introduce a completely new facet of gameplay)
-Revamped combat system that combines various aspects of the previous games, but feels rather new.
That is the type of evolution I like to see in a series. To me, Black Ops is to Modern Warfare 2 what New Vegas is to Fallout 3. Black Ops and New Vegas will probably both be good games, and they'll sell absurdly well. But, they're both being made by "secondary" companies that are really just trying to replicate the success of the previous entry (made by a superior developer) by playing it safe. (Yes, I'm aware that certain members of Obsidian created the Fallout franchise, but with the newest game they're making it almost identical to Fallout 3, which they didn't create.)
More of the same is fine as long as it's a little bit different. But taking MW2 and reskinning it is a different story entirely.
Ha! I was about to say the COD points system was like a rip-off from Reach...and then all of that personal touch possible. Yeah Reach can disapear into my cupboard for a while...
That's a helluvahlot of customization, very extensive.
I'm still not going to buy it. I cannot, and will not, support Activision no matter what the game is (Thank you, Mr. Kotick). I might be missing out on a great game, but I can live with that with a few other great games on the horizon (LBP2, Gran Turismo 5, Dead Space 2, New Vegas, etc...)
However, to those who are going to get the game, I hope you enjoy it. No reason why you shouldn't get a good game to play with.

This actually looks.....really really really good.....Dammit.
I was all set to spend my limited funds on crysis 2, but now.... Jaysus.

But don't forget the "practice" mode you can play with friends as another form of co-op.JourneyThroughHell said:

A quick look at the video and I saw SAM turrets. This just keeps surprising me! I hope they don't show all the little neat add ons and features. I want to find new things on my own (like beating Halo:Reach on Legendary, alone... and for the first time...).
