Remember me
I find it very hard to get excited about the COD franchise now, especially as MW2 is turning out to be a rip off with DLC. And that on-line it really suffers from people cheating.
However, I’m quite optimistic about the new Treyarch game. I’ve always thought Treyarch, make the better On-line maps and found I played WaW more than MW1 when I had them both, even though they didn’t always make the best single player games.
I also hope they put in measure to stop people cheating or are sterner with penalties for those idiots.
Will that now change though, as they were limited previously to WW2 titles, and maybe this was constrictive to them. With the new setting we get to see their true potential.
I also have a soft spot for the underdog and compared to IW, Treyarch always seem the poorer cousin. I’m really hoping they pull it out the bag an deliver a MW2 killer that puts Treyarch at the top of tree.
Treyarch will do one thing, and that is sort out the bugs and glitches far far quicker than IW ever did (apart from on CoD2).
Unfortunately I think the bar has now been set for DLC so I wont be too surprised to see the map packs set at the same price. Hopefully tho they’ll come up with another game mode akin to zombies that will make it more worth it
I’m so put off by the IW DLC map pack pricing, that, I’m quite content to to buy any more. As it happens, I don’t think it’s that much of an issue.
I wish Black Ops well, and If I do buy it, I will stick with the original maps.
Besides, we also have medal of Honour AND Halo Reach coming out in the months ahead, so it’s not like we wont lack in new FPS’s or variety of gaming.

Totally agree Nick, and although lots of people disagree with this pricing, including myself, it has been successful for them.
Just seen the prestige edition you can pre-order now!!!

Yup, no more liquids, guns, grenades or remote control cars allowed on planes
I’ll be passing on Black Ops, MW2 was enough to put me off CoD forever
i quite like the look of the new wager modes, should add to the online experience.
I’ve never been a fan of the Treyarch games if I’m honest. I never really got into COD until COD4. I came from the realms of CS:Source so running about with WWII weaponry was a huge turn off.
I like the look of black ops, but I’m a little hesitant. When WAW came out I didnt buy it and about 4 Months later, all my mates were back on COD4 as it was "better".
If I bought it, it would be simply for the Multiplayer mode.
With regards to DLC, it is expensive but with Gaming Piracy at a high, its the only way they actually can make money. If someone doesnt buy the game but buys 2 map packs they’ve made something off them instead of nothing.
I hear a few people are tempted with booking launch day off to get cracking with the Multiplayer element of this?
I’ve got about a day and a half of holiday left to book so if a few people on here are thinking of doing this (i know TinTin is getting his tent ready in anticipation) I’ll be up for it too?
