So when are they going to release information about the upcoming Black Ops 2, it seems like MW3 has been out for ages.

My wishlist for BO2:

- dedicated servers
- dx11
- an overpowered gun I can always use if I can't be bothered trying
- gun game etc game modes
- zombies!
- no more jump-to prone-to shoot


Even though I am not being entirely serious with this, I would still like to gauge people's thoughts on the upcoming COD. Good or bad bring it here.

It'll be another rehash of the same-old stuff. Good luck with the DX11 graphics.

- dedicated servers - Not happening, this game is geared towards consoles.
- dx11 - See above
- an overpowered gun I can always use if I can't be bothered trying - Nope, unless it happens by accident
- gun game etc game modes - doubt it.
- zombies! - maybe
- no more jump-to prone-to shoot - no idea


Unless you're playing this game for the story alone, it's an utter waste of money and time. Not hating, just stating a fact.

Haters gonna hate.

Unfortunately, you won't see much in the way of engine or graphical improvements until the next generation of consoles arrive. CoD is an official cash cow, and tons of people love to play, so DX11 is highly unlikely.

Well Black Ops had dedicated servers which was great, dunno why BO2 can't have them as well. Gun game was in BO and it was pretty successful, don't see why they wouldn't include it in the sequel. And I would really love to see going to prone or standing from prone have a penalty, much like in BF3.

So no dolphin diving you say?

Also COD should take atleast a 3 year break to redo the whole entire engine and gameplay then release something that is decent.

No dolphin diving and no jump-prone-shoot like in mw3.
Also tell that to money-grabbing Activision.

the only COD i'd buy is if they literally just re-released COD1 or 2.

Black Ops was terrible! Though my opinion is limited. I played the campaign on Xbox, and it sucked IMO. I played online a little during a free steam weekend, and I felt it was weak.

I hope they scrap that idea and go with something else entirely. I used to like the zombie mode in WaW but this time around, it seemed to lose its appeal.

Agreed, I thought WaW zombies were the best. It had a genuine atmosphere imo. Where as the zombies in BO were still ok, it felt almost overdone. IMO BO was better than MW2 and MW3.

DX11 HAH! thats a funny joke. An over powered gun you can use? Have you played any of the other CoD. The damn SMGs beat every gun in the game. After Blackops when they came out with gun game, I about laughed and was like oh great more things CoD copy other games with. Gun game in CoD is a direct rip off gun game in CS
