Activision clears air on Black Ops 2 fallout

4.1
Given last year’s leak on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Activision are keeping understandably hush-hush on this year’s super-shooter release. So when Amazon France listed Black Ops 2 available for pre-order recently, the publisher wasn’t too happy, reportedly blacklisting the site that original reported the listing.

But that's not the case, assures the publisher. Speaking on behalf of the company, a PR agency stated to VentureBeat: ”Activision doesn’t blacklist journalists. We believe this was a misunderstanding and are working towards a resolution.”

It’s reassuring to hear the company take a direct stance on this situation. Besides, we all really know that Black Ops 2 is on for this year, don’t we?

Zirtex Who cares. I hate CoD the only CoD i still play are CoD4, WaW, MW2. They are just money hungry i could care less.


Explain how they're money hungry? Oh wait..you probably can't.

And it's "couldn't care less" not could.
I can explain. They release a game every single year with the same physics engine. The games are all basically the same. They charge $60, they have ELITE which sucks D, they have 10 freaking map packs that all suck and should be included in the game in the first place. The games have none if not very little difference in them from the one before, they hype it up like it's a brand new game that is totally different. Then it's a huge disappointment but you already bought it. Treyarch is the the only ones that have any kind of new concept and try to change things for the better. They are money hungry, period.


Treyarch blows at making First-Person Shooters. The only good thing about them is Zombies, that's how there making all of their money. Not because of Multiplayer, and their games aren't even worth worsting money on. Also "trying to change things for the better"? No, they completely ruined the CoD Series with Black Ops. Infinity Ward is making the maps, Spec Ops missions, and gametypes as they go along fixing every other problems that are being reported to them. They are working to balance out the game, trying to make it more entertaining for everyone.

Now, good day to you.


Treyarch does it best they ;

-Took out stopping power

-Took out death streaks

-Took out quick scoping

- They were the first ones to add theater mode in a COD game

-They added the emblem creator

- They added reticule(sp) customization, and even better weapon customization.

- Wager matches

Treyarch are the ones that actually patch their game and try to balance it. IW barely does anything. Treyarch doesn't dumb down their games like IW does, but I guess that's why people like you hate them.

Correction* Treyarch was the first one who stole theatre mode.


I said first ones to add a theater mode in a COD game, I knew some dumb ass would try and say another game had theater mode first and Treyarch stole it which is why I said "in a COD game."

Lol are you serious... Treyarch fixed problems and nullified modders banning and resetting people who exploited the game. Infinityward is just trying to keep up what Treyarch had started.

Secondly aren't you bored for playing the same exact game every other year? Black Ops was a refreshing change that was absolutely in no way bad. Its just people with little minds like you try to fan boy a company and not take all games in a different manner that you can comprehend this. I feel sorry for you.

-Building a new engine is hard, and it would be hard to build a new engine and still keep the console COD games running at 60 FPS.

-Technically it's every 2 years per developer.

-Doesn't every new 360 game cost $60?

-Elite sucking is subjective

-The map packs sucking are subjective

- New maps, new weapons, new perks, new equipment, new kill streaks, new co-op stuff, new single player missions. Good enough for me.

-How different do you want the damn game to be? Do you want it to be about killing alliens with halo type weapons?

Oh, and they've been releasing a new game every year since 2003, they aren't money hungry, they just please their fans.
