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?

I'm disappointed to see a Block Ops 2... I want something new

But I can see why they would do it from a business perspective.

MikssPosted:

Certainly not getting it. I regret buying the 1st part already. Only played Combat Training.

Do you ever say that you hate a game but you still find yourself playing it anyway? Just wondering, this happens to me.

bsmPosted:

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.

comment period wait ccccccccccccccombo breakeerrr

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

This comment line is as tight as your moms *****

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 **** would try and say another game had theater mode first and Treyarch stole it which is why I said "in a COD game."


YaY! Comment pyramid

and everyone here will probably buy blops 2

And here comes all the complaining and fighting about COD like we all did for mw3 then what happpened we all bought it


doesn't matter halo 4 is coming out. everyone who is actuallt smart would buy that, why you may ask? because they actually started working on it after halo 3. that is a very long time, new engine, not the the same guns like cod and they dont charge for a shitty membership which my dumb self bought, . i am never buying cod again,







unless nazis is way better :)


So people should buy halo 4 because they started working on it after Halo 3? Lmao, what a dumb reason.

You're a dumb ****, Halo will have the same guns as the other halos with a few new ones just like all of the other Halo games.


**** atleast they use a new engine, and they dont make it every year, or every two year for infinity and treyarch, cod has **** graphics and support, it gets hacked the first day it comes out, and activision are money jews

Personally Treyarch makes the bests games. Im not going to throw down some 3 year-old response and say because "3arc ownz and Iw sckz " or something like that. But previous posts have had good points. Treyarch things for the people. They added customization to our games and balanced the playing field. WaW was by far the most ingenious game I have ever witness. Souly could be because it was my first CoD game ever. But, WaW was were all my fun began. I had such memorable moments in that game. Plus the time to time map packs with a new zombie map that would keep you entertained just in case you got bored of the game. Also Black Ops brought out there share of zombies which wasnt as great but still showed some promise. IW tried to top zombies in Mw3 by adding a survival mode which is far wasn't any different from recent spec ops mission in the past Mw2. Also past mentions of graphics, yes indeed IW graphics are better in overall quality. But the thing that I loved most about WaW was that it gave you an old look to it which still holds today. That is if there wern't so many hackers in it. Overall I was kind of hectic to see if Treyarch could reproduce such a game when Black Ops was release. Now I know what they're capable of so I hope a promising future for there next latest CoD Game.
