Report Indicates Black Ops 2 Reveal Has Boosted Call of Duty Hype 400%

I couldn't be less interested in paying $60 for a skin change on a 5 year old game.

I only purchased blops through peer pressure as most of my gaming friends were playing it, regretted it instantly, skipped MW3, and this one I'll not only skip, but melt any copy I find. You want to know why new games aren't coming out anymore? Because somehow 13 year olds have been convinced this is the greatest thing ever, and convince there parents to buy it year after year.

I can't even take reviews of the game seriously anymore. I've disliked games that have gotten good grades, but I can at least see where the grade is stemming from in the reviews, with the COD series, there is zero innovation, zero new content worth mentioning, a campaign that is criminally short, an old engine, an outdated multiplayer with perhaps the shittiest spawning system, and the only new updates are game-balance destroying killstreaks, killstreaks everywhere, every god damn 5 seconds

"OMG drones and jets and mechs! best game evar, so inventive!!1!"

I think that maybe, just maybe this one will turn the franchise around. Im no CoD fanboy, i think the attitude of 'if it aint broke don't fix it' that the franchise has shown over the last few years is a smack in the face to all of the loyal fans that keep buying games just because the say Call of Duty on the front. And i think that the developers may have started to take note of all the negativity that has been hurled at them over the last few years, adding to that the success of BF3 and the frostbite 2 engine (which should make the upcoming Medal of Honor game something to look forward to) Treyarch may have realised the need to up their game this time.

Ahahahahaha "Bro shooters..."

I liked MW and MW2. I bought Black Ops and only really played zombies after I beat the campaign. The multiplayer just wasn't fun somehow. Because of Black Ops I skipped MW3 and don't regret it.
