I pre ordered it a while ago, looking forward to the SP, every year I enjoy for instance the threads on SB forums discussing the SP in detail so for that alone I pre ordered it, anything else it offers that I find enjoyable is extra.

Everything so far looks like a large improvment, a single-player campaign where you can have multiple choices and diffrent endings, parts of the game where you take controll of large squads and play the game like an RTS and the zombie mode is now a large sandbox where 8 people can play together. Still, all of that sounds good however i will wait 1, maybe 2 weeks to see how the PC version is optimized, Black Ops 1 was an allright COD game however it was poorly optimized, people even to this day are having frame rate issues with that game.

I was going to but I am going to wait for gamer opinions. They are no longer allowing you to rent servers. They are using authorised hosts but there won't be admins or anything. Matchmaking into dedicated servers could be ok but there are some problems that could come up. For example when DLC is released how many non DLC servers will they run? When a new COD is out will they drastically reduce servers for BO2 - when will they pull the plug completely? And finally I have no idea how many Australia servers they are planning which is the main reason I'll be waiting.

Oh dang that kind of blows. If they drastically improve the matchmaking system, I'm sure it will be fun.

Already preordered, can't wait, hopefully they bring it to a new level, like Black Ops 1 did, not buying anything from IW after how absolutely terrible MW 2 and 3 were, Treyarch however are doing a great job.

Yeah they def are. Black Ops was great but it had a rough start and some terrible optimization issues. Other than that I was enjoying it.

I did buy Black Ops and MW3. I liked more the mp in BO due the dedicated servers, the better map design and the presence of the G11 -which was one of my favourite ARs despite not entirelly correct in his implementation-. At the end I finally spent about 130 hours in the BO mp and a bit under 100 hours in MW3.

I maxed the first leveling race in both games, but after unlocking all the perks in BO didn't want to lost all in the prestige reset, so I ended with not much reasons to keep playing after the first two months -and only did a few levels in the campaign-. Buying MW3 wasn't in my plans, but due technical problems with Battlelog and my default browser I wasn't able to properly play at Battlefield 3 until January, so I did end buying MW3 and Skyrim just a few days after BF3. MW3 campaign was decent but short, and the mp based on p2p didn't trick on me too much.

Due I'm still playing BF3 -just went to level 45 a couple of weeks ago- and recently I bought the premium accesss I had no reason to buy Black Ops II nor MoH Warfighter: most of time I spent in shooters is used in the mp, and I still have a lot of things to learn and master in the extra maps of BF3 -despite I play miostrly in TDM - infantry only servers.

So no, I'm not interested in BO this time: my fps share is currently filled and still have a lot of unfinished games that I bought waiting for my time (TW2, Deux Ex HR... ). Doesn't help also that in matter of sp campaigns both Dishonored, Halo 4 and Far Cry 3 seems more appelaing than BO II to me (probably will end buying Halo 4 and Far Cry 3).

Hopefully someone gifts it to me like they did for Modern Warfare 3. I'd like to try the game.

No! Don't get me wrong. BO 2 looks to be a descent game, but I'm just totally burned out on the modern/near future war games. Might change my mind when it goes down in price.

Not on PC. communities for CoD's are small on PC. also, rampant with cheaters and Inifnity Ward ect don't bother fighting back. Xbox day 1 probably... and that is rare for me to say.

Sorry, we are far past cod 4 now, I know PC Gamers love to cling to much older games, I do myself. But this is black ops 2. and the past record for anything past CoD4 in PC is horrible.

Is this poll intended for past CoD players only or just anyone on this forum? :P

I never really enjoyed the newer CoD games so I know I won't be getting it.

Maybe but I seriously doubt it? It's not that I didn't like Black Ops, it's just I bought it on PS3 and that ruined it for me really... other than SP.

I cannot play FPS' especially CoD with a controller after playing them for literally YEARs on mouse and keyboard. Just doesn't work any other way for me.

I do consider it to be another Black Ops but then I havent bought a CoD since MW2. If I do get BOps 2 Ill probably get it for consoles as its going to be made for them anyway. Will have a larger community too.

I got the preorder cause I love cod, but I am quite skeptical based on the amount of hacks in MW3. I wouldn't really advise others to preorder before the reviews, unless they don't mind potentially burning $60. A console preorder is a safer bet but I can't spend FPS with a gamepad.

Nah, I've got Blacklight Retribution and CS 1.6 so I think I'm pretty much good to go should the need arise to do any competitive shooting.

I'm undecided. I feel that they are just putting a fresh coat of paint on the old formula, but Black Ops 1 was solid apart from the technical problems.

I'm going to wait for a little bit after launch to see what the reaction is.

Blacklight is terrible compared to COD.

I havent touched CoD since World at War. I am strongly considering buying this one. Maybe the whole sports section will actually help it last long then a year. Probably not but heres to hoping.

Really thinking about it i played the crap out of Black ops, but barely touched modern warefare 3. I really need to see more and see how the multiplayer maps are before i decide.

I bought the first Black Ops game on sale for $47 after using a Direct2Drive discount coupon. For that price, the 200 hours I spent on the game was well worth it. I just don't think a COD game at this stage is worth the $60 asking price at release. If I can find BO2 at another discount like that, why not? I didn't buy MW3 and haven't really played an FPS game since January. So it may even feel like a relatively fresh experience again.

Black Ops had a lot of issues on PC, so I plan to avoid this one. I preordered MoH Warfighter instead, since I had a lot of fun with the previous MoH's multiplayer.

I pre ordered both although MOHW I'm only getting on PC, BO2 on PC + X360 for rl friends, if you thought BF3 looked terrible on consoles(think view distance: off?) MOHW takes it to the next level, possibly the most blurry experience I've had on consoles(480p native?) while I didn't even need to change the brightness for the PC version alpha. I would hope that people purchasing BO2 are expecting to get their money's worth from the SP + 8 man COOP as it's probably best to assume the worst of the MP, especially with the new spawn system COD games seem to be adopting: http://i.imgur.com/25Qhp.png

The pick 10 system has me intrigued. I've been looking for a good MP FPS for a year or 2. I will probably give in to the CoD fever and buy it.

I own every Call of Duty title save for some of the offshoots and Call of Duty 2, plus this time around Black Ops 2 actually looks like a game that's trying to break from the mold. Changing time periods, much more freedom and length in the story, a heavy focus on improving zombies, and wildly changing up the way multiplayer works.

Treyarch has been good to PC gamers, hopefully they don't change that here since I'm getting the PC version this time around. I'm pre ordering the Deluxe Digital edition actually so I can enjoy some of the extra stuff, while World at War on PC is a nice little bonus.

I've seen some gameplay, looks exactly the same as every other CoD game since MW, only with see-through sniper rifles. I'll pass.

Is it going to have a 5 1/2 hour, corridor-linear, spawn-everywhere enemy shooting range campaign too? If yes then I pass. I got too bored to finish Black Ops and I haven't bought MW3 nor do I see myself ever wanting to.

According to the developers and from what we've seen from gameplay, the single player has much more depth to it. Open ended missions, some missions you have to make a choice to take or not take, splitting points in story and gameplay, plus the ability to choose your loadout for single player and partake in weapon challenges was confirmed on Gametrailers today.

So its looking wildly different from the norm, though its still CoD, a game where you shoot dudes with guns in the military.

I took a nice break from the series and feel sort of ready to jump in again. Also it looks like they added a few neat things this time so there's that. But I'll still wait and see how it ends up being, maybe all this hype about it being different and new could just be bait and switch tactics.
