Multiplat Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

[Igloo]

Only pre-order, Treyarch have no intention on releasing it to people who didn't pre-order.

Uhh, I might as well go pre-order it tomorrow then. Even though I wont be able to play multiplayer for a month. You can still pre-order, right?

Yeah.

 

[The Big Sauce]

We're getting close. Where has everyone preordered from?

 

[Premiers04]

Pre ordered at EB, Care Package edition just over a week till i get my Quadrotor to play with, think it comes with some Black Ops 2 game as well

How does that work? Game mode ends when the entire team dies am I right?

You could say that if you killed everyone on the other team and let the bomb explode you can still lose but you would have to be a grade A dickhead for that to happen.

Premiers described it well. Happens all the time that the entire other team is dead but the defuser either can't get to the bomb in time or ****s it up.

There are several examples in Search where a well timed death is more important than several kills. Say Player A rushes out and kills 3 people and dies. Player B takes his time and slowly works his way up to the bomb and sets up strategically. Game continues and eventually Player B is left on his own against 2. Thinking on his feet Player B move in and plants the bomb. The remaining players obviously rush to the bomb and try and find Player B. But Player B is clever. He knows that as long as he is alive, or, at least can distract them for long enough, the bomb will go off and they will win the round. Player B proceeds to avoid being sighted until he hears the bomb being defused, so he pops out and kills the defuser, the other player, then has a gun battle with Player B, kills Player B but ultimately runs out of time to defuse the bomb, Player B's team wins.

Repeat that exact scenario for 3 rounds and Player A is 9-3. Player B is 3-3. Who is the more valuable player? Player B obviously.

This is why when Liverpool et al say "Search is easy, I just played it and went 8-0" I roll my eyes and chuckle quietly to myself.

TBH they could take the bomb sites out of it and the only thing difference is you'd lose the "objective player bait", its the same as Counter Strike in that very rarely do you get teams winning the round by blowing up the objective.

Nah, we win all the time by successfully planting the bomb.

it is true that when its good team vs good team generally it tuns into a slightly more strategic version of TDM.

Although with that said, Alex (and his ability to grab host every single time we party ) destroys a search lobby by rushing, Gimpy is another that can run amok and do as he pleases, so the tactical element is not as strong as some would believe, the maps play as they were designed by IW, as TDM maps.

That has more to do with said players ability, not the game mode. A good Dom player or a good TDM payer will still be a good Search player, no doubt about it.

Search definitely has more of a thinking element to it though, especially when its tight and you're left on your own. This is rare when pub stomping.

That is what people are getting at though. There are certain play styles that people use, of which they have no intention of winning at all. Nobody has a problem initially with how others are playing if the team is winning, but when it becomes detrimental to the team winning therein lies the problem.

Oh c'mon. That is a load of bollocks and you know it. We're not talking about the random guy who is sniping in the corner when flags are being capped. We're talking about players that just have a different style or play more defensive/campy and cop it.

And its more than just the guys on here, every second lobby online some whingey little weedy ferker is complaining about something or other that got him killed. It's ****ing unbelievable. I think if you ruled out every tactic, gun and perk that people sook about you would be left running around in the open in circles with a Desert Eagle.

It's a pity, because I did like the look of turbine, reminded me of Afghan from MW2.

Treyarch will probably make it DLC.

I played Turbine at Expo

And it was a lot like Afghan from MW2. I liked it. Good map

Regarding the top tweet, people who play before the 13th will have their stats reset? Or have I misconstrued what he has said?

Presumably.

Hope they don't do something stupid like reset all of Australia because we are ahead of the US time wise.

The machinima crew were talking about a 24hour livestream of their race to 10th prestige, like he said in his tweet before he was just warning them not to start the stream before release otherwise they will be booted and stat reset, thats what i got from it anyway, i could be wrong, they didnt reset anyone for mw3.

Btw how good is the lodestar, ever since i first saw it i thought it was super strong, its just like the reaper but faster missiles and a bigger blast radius, almost ac-130 big cannon like blast radius, check out the final double kill he gets with it



My only concern is how am i going to squeeze it in! i want to run V-sat/dogs/and swarm, but i might run lodestar/dogs/swarm and just pray my teammates run uav's or something, imagine how much damage you could do with it on nuketown

Looks like Aus/NZ will be able to post gameplay before anyone else
#Youtube monayyy

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

How can I love a game so much and RQ so hard. Not long now.

 

[Cory]

It's not that much like the reaper, Lodestar isn't a hit marker machine .

 

[Premiers04]

Hunter Killer Drone, Hellstorm Missile and Lightning Strike will be my main run with streaks. Nice and quick streaks that don't take me out of the game for long periods and wont get held up for deployment in a BF party. Just like MW3, I'm gonna make my play style predominantly gun based, although i will have a class with some KDR whore streaks though for when I'm solo stomping.

 

[sacka]

Im going in blind with streaks, guns, maps, 10 point system(or whatever you call it) i guess i'll figure it out on the run.

I know it's there mate, just know that things that look good on paper dont always work the way you want.
Just sayin.

 

[Freakie]

I'm heading to EB at lunch in my BLOPS2 tshirt and neckbeard to preorder. I'm then setting up camp straight away and sitting outside until release.

No seriously I'm preordering but only to party up with you lot, I have low expectations of this game and the the amount of skills I will display...

Nek minnut 50 neckbeard's show up.
