Treyarch’s Black Ops 2 will convince you to play online again

4.1
An interesting interview from Kotaku was posted earlier today which featured Treyarch’s Director of Communications John Rafacz.

He starts by explaining Boot Camp: “There are three components to it,” he explains. “There’s a thing we call boot camp.

“Boot Camp is a mix of human and AI players versus a mix of human and AI players for full XP credit for the first ten levels. You are actually ranking up. Beyond level 10, once you pass that threshold, you start earning half XP. Then there’s bot stomp which is just you and your buddies wailing on the AI.”

Rafacz goes onto to discuss why Black Ops 2′s matchmaking will deliver on what they have said:
“That’s what gave rise to the thing we’re calling league play. This is a more robust matchmaking system. On day one you start playing and after a short while it starts to rank you. This is where we start matching you with people of like skill. Hopefully someone new to the game won’t be matched up against a true master.”

Rafacz continues on how they try to ‘control players’ from being offensive:
“The ability to report players for offensive language, offensive emblems, all of that will be in place. There’s a certain extent to which we hope people will be able to police themselves, and there’s no way we can personally account for bad apples, so we try and give people the tools to help people help themselves.”

“We’re trying to make sure people are focusing toward a more co-operative style of game.”

ineedaxplobbymw2 A game like this is not worth $60 bucks just for zombies, so im gonna go with Halo4.


$60 of the zombies and the rest of the game Bo2 is well better then halo4


Lol, CoD, a game that is made in a 2 year period, is way better than Halo, a game that usually takes 3-4 years to make, has better ratings, and hasn't had the same graphics since the 2nd one? You sir, need to get your head checked.
A good game doesn't need a release every year.


No but neither does a 3-4 year period. Ok lets agree Black Ops look like it improved alot. and Halo 4 did. They are both great games.


In my opinion COD is only good until they release there first dlc then it starts getting boring.

While it may seem like a good idea to add Boot Camp

Im sure they will find a way to screw it up

Knicks i love the idea, of matching up players by skill, so i dont get stuck playing with no lifes and the kids who buy $500 headsets....


it is a good idea,now i can play with people who have a true kd(without camping) of 3+...also im just about to leave to go to the knicks game in the carrier dome.ps.the $500 headphones are 7.1 dolby vs $30 headphones which are 5.1,and theyre less of a difference than you would think...

Astro A50s are only $300 and they are pretty good for the price but you have to honestly look at it like this, so if you buy a huge tv so you can watch movies in really good definition trying to that movie theater experience you want a really good surround with it, it's the same thing for people who just want to experience their games better, I want a good set not to be better at playing the game but because I can almost the same feeling as being in a room with a good surround sound set up but with out my neighborhood hearing explosions and gun shots, etc..


Just play the game, headsets don't matter unless you try hard.
