Black Ops 1 was honestly one of the best games in the series I'll probably be getting this one too

the wallrunning in this game is the first time where it feels like I'm still naturally moving and not locked into a forced animation

Also I might be biased on WaW because in college me and my best friend played zombies mode 4 days a week after classes for like 2 months straight and it ruled

They made you do that like a million times because they had to shoehorn as many wiimote QTEs as possible. What a shitload of gently caress.

Treyarch is also as far as I can tell the only COD developer to include flamethrowers in all of their games and for that they have my respect

Rolling Stone magazine has uncovered a new patent from Activision that was filed in 2015 that talks about how the company wants to design their matchmaking systems in their titles. Activision was granted the patent earlier this month by the US Patent and Trademark Office.

This new patent appears to be about how Activision plans to use “tricks” in their matchmaking system to lure players to purchase more in-game items through the course of playing a game. Specifically (one aspect of the large patent), the patent mentions that high skilled players get paired with low-skilled players to purposefully encourage low-skilled players to spend more money to get better in-game items to match up against higher skilled players.

“For example, in one implementation, the system may include a microtransaction engine that arranges matches to influence game-related purchases. For instance, the microtransaction engine may match a more expert/marquee player with a junior player to encourage the junior player to make game-related purchases of items possessed/used by the marquee player. A junior player may wish to emulate the marquee player by obtaining weapons or other items used by the marquee player.”

my inner conspiracy theorist is really happy that all of those level 999 max blinged out guys wrecking your poo poo were in fact intentionally put there by the publisher

nazi zombies was a really fun random addition to WaW that ended up sucking way too much development time and money over the next 9 games, and we possibly could have had wall running in every cod by now instead

Respawn is being forced to make a Star Wars game which will probably bomb because Star Wars is a dead series now so Respawn will be thrown into the meat grinder with all the other developers EA betrayed and murdered and Titanfall 3 probably won't happen.

as someone who will shamelessly buy any AAA Star Wars game I wish them much success making a game that’s actually fun to play so that DICE can go back to learning how to make a menu interface that doesn’t make players suicidal

Blops 3s campaign eventually became a wierd ghost in the shell/inception mindjacking story and that was cool to see, sad they arent continuing in that vein.

all the black ops campaigns at least tried to do something interesting; the first one had a pretty solid Cold War Manchurian Candidate thing, and even though 2 wasn’t as good they deserve some credit for making the plot actually change depending on whether or not you completed certain mission objectives
