I won't believe it 'till I see it. They can talk big and make a lot of promises but this is activision we're talking about.

Actually, this is Treyarch we are talking about.....

Well, activision speaking through Treyarchs bodies. We'll see. I think mr. evil still works there, so it would seem weird to me that they would take risks and update graphics.

A lot of it sounds good, yet a lot of it sounds like the same-ol' thing we've been getting for years.

This was my favorite part.

Online Director Dan Bunting took us through a tech demo of the upgraded graphics; while lighting upgrades and tech aren't usually the most interesting topics, what they were showing looked great. As they put it, they are aiming for "PC quality graphics running at 60 FPS on a console." The illusion was quite convincing.

I didn't know sub-HD, performance issues, and 3DS/Vita-like graphics meant PC quality.

Treyarch has been the studio in the past to actually try and improve the series, so it really isn't that weird....

is it me or is the game heavily stylized, almost cel-shaded? i stopped reading around "strike force", but i'll give props to treyarch. they seem to be finally moving on from the beaten up MW formula.

3 years ago, everyone was hating on Treyarch... now they're being praised... lol

Game looks promising and I had fun with World at War as well as Black Ops I, so the sequel should be just as fun.

1 new thing so it's 49 now.

49. They will take your £40 and screw you over.

Clarifications - It's not a game. It's a DLC. Nothing will be different. It will be plagued with bugs and framerate problems.

This is true, maybe not the framerate problems... but it will still be a game I will pass on.

Here you go folks, the accusations of 'rehash' and 'same old' no longer apply to Call of Duty. What will the haters come up with next?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but... this is a day one buy.

charizard1605

As one of the 'haters' who always said it's the same old thing, I just may buy this one if it truly is different. I will definitely play the campaign as it sounds fun, however the MP is going to have to switch it up as well, and if I feel it is a sufficient change and I am buying a different product, I will buy this as well (I did not buy MW3) day one? Not enough to go on for me to decide that quite yet.

Can't wait to find out more now.

Also, Dedicated Servers on consoles is a definite expectation, though I actually don't believe they will use them I feel it's a standard that should be met with a game like this. I can just play on PC, though IF I do get this I'd want to play this with my friends and a majority of them play it on consoles.

Not at all, a lot of them bring in new gameplay features that actually change up the gameplay...I do not count different killstreaks or a different setting as a "new game" rather than a re-skin. However, this is looking promising for those like me who feel this way, and could definitely make us change feelings on this series.

Though there are a lot of games I would agree with that are a "MP map and weapon pack" rather than a full new installment, just definitely far fromEvery game.

It's a change to the setting with some new toys. Probably not much of a change to the gameplay or formula. If anything I'd say people are getting carried away expecting something really different.

Yep, the new game mode isn't a change to gameplay.

Wasn't expecting someone to have an avatar of a character from Demikids. But I also wasn't expecting me to recognize the character either.

The Modern Warfare series is inarguably better than Black Ops and World at War.

The funds and new ideas and tech have just made Black Ops 2 > Modern Warfare > Black Ops > WaW.

One thing am sad about is that there is no Reznov. He carried WaW and Black Ops.

3arch are the ones who made people regain a little faith in the series, then MW3 dropped the ball and 3arch is here to clean up again.

IW/Sledgehammer may make more hectic fast paced COD games with alot of KS in the air, but 3arch makes more balanced games, or at least they try.

So changing the setting of the entire game is not different enough for the glorious videogame elite, also knows as system wars. What a surprise. Then again, this is the same forum where people were calling BF3 innovative a few months ago.

They should make multiplayer killstreaks stronger and keep streak chaining from MW3, as well as keep the portable radar to reward campers like myself who just use portable radar to camp and let their killstreaks chain and do all the work.

This is being developed by Treyarch, not Infinity Ward... save that wishlist for Modern Warfare 4.

You do know they don't sit on their hands while IW makes the next year's game, right? They started after Black Ops came out. Probably started planning stages before it came out.
