Call of Duty: Black Ops II Reveal Trailer Posted

While the Cold War, assassination attempts at President Kennedy, and over the top action filled the premise of the 2010 smash hit Call of Duty: Black Ops; unmanned aerial weaponry, often autonomous, will fill up Black Ops II, Activision's autumn-winter blockbuster. The worldwide reveal trailer mentions the campaign's storyline to take place in 2025, the future, when there's huge proliferation of unmanned weaponry (≠ robots, so no conflict with the Terminator universe), and that the "keys" (control over these machines) fell into the wrong hands (and the US stopped making kill-switches for its military equipment). The game promises some pretty over the top action over futuristic settings, some of which remind us of Syndicate (which is set even further into the future).



The Worldwide Reveal Trailer follows.

Battlefield 2142 + Modern Warfare mixture

Had better recount an event actually happened, rather than all made up of a future.

The graphics are still the fault of the console, now expired.

The thing that keeps the derps out of and at the same time in BF is the Metro map and the upcoming Close Quarters DLC.

COD was always more fun than BF i just wish it was on the cryengine thats its only down fall but i guess game play is better than graphics.

Ill just say this treyarch makes good games but activision are cheap wankers and wont play for a engine upgrade.

They wont upgrade the engine because that is not a game engine, that is a vitrual money-printing machine. That's what it is for them.

But, treyarch are the ones that always takes the sharp turns on every COD title of their's. And in my honest opinion i would like to get games like W@W, BO and a futuristic COD over MW recycled over and over. So that's a BIG plus point for them.

Still, nothing will convince me that the gaming experience on this game will be different from the first BO.
Another point is that treyarch may be using the same old engine but it seems like they are always the ones to push the graphics detail further then IW's CODs like they did with BO that IMO just looks better then MW3. The downside for that is that the PC port can come out with various issues and bugs, mainly performance issues like there were when BO came out.

I dont like any of IW cod games they all disappoint me, I also liked WAW the most and i wish it could of been remastered on to a nice looking engine.

After I watched it when it was posted on facebook earlier by IGN, I just sat their and was like what the hell did i just watch. The game looks AWFUL!!!! Blackops 2 Future warfare? Blackops 1 was cold war! they made a big jump. THe graphics also look worse then any CoD ive every seen. This will be the year CoD dies.

If you actually play with friends on BF, such as the 10 people that are on every night from this forum. BF3 is incredibly fun.

The trailer doesn't tell a lot about the graphics. worse then any other COD? even 2? i suggest you to plunge back into COD4 for that "oh.. well..." moment just to remind yourself the difference between this:
http://i.imgur.com/ogCQN.jpg
and this:
http://i.imgur.com/mEJYI.jpg
(both maxed-out settings)

So saying "THe graphics also look worse then any CoD ive every seen", especially based on a reveal trailer is complete nonsense.

Well typically CoD trailers make the game look a lot better then what it really turns out to be. Frankly if this trailer is any indication, well I might as well just wipe shit all over the screen.

I have absolutely no problems with the CoD engine, i think it looks realistic and good enough.
I do, however, have PROBLEMS with CoD set in future with robots.

Just when I said I wouldn't buy another COD.. Then they make it futuristic.. and I'm back on the COD train! I didn't buy MW3.. My brother got it for me for christmas to play multi player.. I think I've played multi player with him twice.. I suck.. lol I just can't play multi player MW3 over BF3 multi player.. I just started playing the single player and it's good.. just not great...

But COD in he future! I'm a big sucker for anything fps in the future.. hehehe I hope it does really bad and they overhaul the graphics engine for the next one.

yea and whats call of duty? a bunch of fags sitting in bathroom stalls waiting for ppl to come by lol



at least BF3 isnt so broken that certain game modes are just retarded aka anyone remember the 500+ kills on demolition lulz

snipers in BF3 = knife targets,
rocket whores arent so bad since the javelin cant lock on to infantry so.... yea kinda moot
altho i will agree closed spaces in BF3 are dumb its not what BF is about, but thats what B2K was for awesome maps and extra destruction woot
