I skiped MW2 because of its many disasters. I was still going to get Black Ops regardless of Zombies. Treyarch is actually willing to change the CoD formula.

They just made $60 pricetag better. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to experience World at War so this is a nice addition. Looking forward to it. :)

Answer 5: the CoD franchise is a shell of what it once was and there are tons of other shooters coming out that got me way more interested that Black Ops (No, not MoH :P)

[QUOTE="super600"]

Even though I have a Wii I'm not getting COD:BO because of my Activision boycott.This game is going to have a hard time getting above 85% this year because of all the FPS games coming out this year and all the other games in the many different genres.

Arbiterisl33t69

Reach practically already took shooter of the year this year anyway, so you're probably right.

It would be insanely funny if it got above 85% and beat Reach,but that's unlikely. The only way that's going to happen is if Activision forced the review sites and magazines to write positive reviews for the game, but I doubt they would do that because it would probably ruin their map pack partnership with Microsoft.

I am not supporting ACTI, and I am not a fan of Treyarch. W@W was very, very disappointing for me.

I'll keep my eye out on the Metascore, and see if this one surprises me...but I lost faith in Treyarch. I wish they would go back to Spidey games.

Treyarch are the generic COD team to me.

If MW2's metascore is anything to go by then you can't tust COD metascores.

Please. MW2 was a great game, the only thing wrong was Infinity Wards lack of updates/fixes on it's mulitplayer. Otherwise it was a great game. The review scores were pretty spot on when they first played the game, cause everyone was still figuring it out and nobody was sitting in a corner abusing OMA/Noobtubes or running around with Commando Pro and Tac Knife. I know it's cool to hate CoD here though.

Nope. Still not getting it.

I'm still getting it. I don't like the exclusive guns but it won't stop me from having fun with it.

EDIT: Oh, I thought you meant the subscription rumor. Don't care about zombies.

Cherokee_Jack

If a subscription model like the one described in MaxConsole's rumor thingie isn't enough to deter people I imagine nothing will be. It mentions withholding maps for regular users, offering content exclusive to subscribers and further segmenting the community through higher capacity subscriber only servers. And things will only go downhill from there.

Apologists' current favorite retort of "It's optional, you don't have to buy it." doesn't really apply when it affects users regardless.

So far a rumor is all it is. But as always people's complacency is scary. The game being $599 doesn't stop it from being fun either right?

I don't really care if the userbase is segmented or whatever because the base-level game ought to have enough content for my needs. Since I'm not buying the game used I'm not even giving any money to Activision (not that I'm against giving them money for a game I will enjoy).

I was gonna get it either way. It's the same good old formula and Treyarch will learn from Infinty Ward mistake. New maps,weapons,equipment,singleplayer,ect is all I need.

I'll wait for reviews before I even think to buy it. I got Halo: Reach on my mind instead.

If MW2's metascore is anything to go by then you can't tust COD metascores.

So then, you can imagine what you are in for with a Treyarch "generic every other year" COD game...a worse COD.

This is a reason why I know System wars doesn't represent the outside world at all. COD is gonna sell boatloads no matter what.

bphan

Oh yeah, It'll sell a lot of units. But the poll actually looks fairly representative of the market as a whole. If anything, a higher % of SW respondents will be getting the game than the public at large.

There seems to be a misconception or misunderstanding.

Buying a game used ensures ACTIVISION gets no money. Activision is worthy of boycott in many eyes, but a good game is a good game.

My issue is that I don't like Treyarch, so they will have to do A LOT to impress me, I thougt W@W sucked (I don't know why I bought that, I didn't like Treyarch then either, but I bought it used, so eh.).

If I do end up getting the game, it's because Treyarch managed to impress me...BUT I will still buy the game used, as it will ensure ACTI gets no money.

Buying it, new or used, creates demand. Demand keeps the price up. Activision makes money.

Unlike most of the community here, I don't get butt-hurt when I play a game online. I actually play FOR FUN (ZOMG!?!?!)!!!!!!

So yea, I was planning on getting it regardless of the Zombie Mode. WITH Zombies comming back, I'll just be that much mroe excited for it.

Not sure if I'll buy it, if only because my main reason for wanting to play Black Ops was the campaign, which I'm probably able to complete with a rent.

What's the point to this? Not giving Activision money, but you'll get CoD:BO anyways because you think the game will be fun? Odd, I thought good games DESERVED to make money...

Zombies was fun in WaW, but the lag is what ended up killing it for me. In the end, that's what COD is, a game that people play despite it being laggy, which is broken in an online game.

Seriously, some people here have the worst logic when it comes to decision making.
