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...
I hate the fact that nice guys like you and me will get suckered into this game because we want to play with the neckbeard crew on BigFooty.

Kind of agree at how rote everything is really.

The train map, the nuclear map, the ship map, the crashed plane map, the crumbled city map, the Italian map.

Surely they could've futurised stuff a bit more? Similar to how they've given Nuketown a re-fresh in look, but basically kept the look back in the 60's all of these maps kind of just seem like regular COD maps and not future COD maps.
It's only 13 years in the future, what do you want hoverboards? (already posted).

I get what you mean though. I guess the only futuristic part is in the combat part.

Still a crashed delorean would be cool.

Grabbed this just incase it was taken down by Activision from the original uploader's page.


I don't like the look of sniping, looks very easy, but that is against bots.

Sniping doesnt look too bad, sure the best thing would be to not have quick scoping at all or at least have it at Blops 1 level, but the hitbox looks waaaaayyyy smaller than that of MW3, so they'll have to be on target, not just in the general vacinity getting hitmarkers from hitting air.

That no recoil gun is a bit ****** though, wonder if that'll get patched.

I keep doing this to myself, i have now seen 9 of 14 maps in action, little to be surprised about now :oops:

I find no matter the amount of movies I watch, actually playing the maps is just so different that it's still a surprise still.

In regards to midnight release, I've preordered from JB - can I just rock up at midnight n get my copy or do I need to tell them I'm coming in so they have my copy ready?

Haha cool, enjoy.

Vondehaar tweeted that while he doesn't like people posting gameplay, if you are, at least be good. haha.

I echo his tweet.

I dont know how JB do it but i assume it'll be the same as EB in that you'll need to go in and get your reciept marked with a number so you can line up at midnight, be best to ask how they're going to do it. You dont need to tell them your coming in either.

For me, my EB opens at 10 so the plan is to get there when it opens, hopefully get in top 10-20 in line up for midnight and then go home for an hour and a half and come back later to line up. Last year with MW3 was my first midnight launch and didnt know about the number allocations for lining up so didnt get it marked and was over 100th in line and being unorganised like GAME was, didnt get my game till after 1am :oops:

Ah ok - last year I went and didn't know exactly what was happening, but very early in the night heard my name called out and got my game and was out of there.

Seemed a little disorganised but I was a beneficiary of that, wondering if they're changing tact this year.

I paid outright for my game, so hopefully that speeds up the process a little, might just give them a call.

Freakie reporting from the BLOPS2 midnight launch line:

So far there are 4 of us neckbeards waiting patiently outside EB Games ******* (location has an injunction). I have a sweet little setup, consisting of a deck chair with a built in portapotty, my Sony Vita to keep my busy and enough salt and vinegar chips to last me until 2013 (plus 4 slabs of Coke, the leaded variety). The guy sitting next in line has bought is Dungeons and Dragons board game and we have had many an epic battle the last few nights. I will be posting nightly updates of the fun times I will be having until the midnight launch of the BEST game since WoW was released.

I'm hearing that they've upped the scorestreak requirements.

CUAV is 600 while UAV is like 350 - others have gone up a bit more too.
Seems like we might be getting a proper gun fight with Blops2 rather than a kill-streak spam fight.

Expecting UAV to be run a lot though = easy points with my stinger equivalent.

Clearer pic of the prestige icons including the prestige master




Gotta love the Power inspired 2nd prestige emblem ;)

1st and 6th probably the only ones i dislike, much better than the MW3 Bejewelled icons
Emblems look really good, especially 2nd, 5th, 6th and 10th. Don't understand why they rehashed some emblems from the previous Blops.

Probably go the whole way just like MW3. Keeps the game fresh.

That's great news, was my biggest concern. From most of the videos I have watched the score streaks were way too low.
