It's actually different though.
The older CoDs were basically WW2 every time.
CoD4 broke the mold and was set in a more modern setting.
After that it was basically the same thing again up until Black Ops 1 came out, which was set during the Cold/Vietnam War.
MW3 was modern again.
This one is in a future setting. My only gripe is the title...Black Ops 2? Why not just Future Warfare?
Holy shit, this is unbelievable. I just checked it out again and read some of the comments. All the retards that say *crag* every 3 seconds and know nothing of grammar that you would typically expect to find playing a CoD game are saying how much they hate it and all the decent-esque people are saying it looks great.
I think Treyarch may have just inverted the fanbase
I haven't bought many of the CoD games in the past (my brother bought MW1 a while back but traded it in a few months after I'd completed the plot and he'd gotten bored), but I might just buy this. Maybe it's just because I like sci-fi stuff, but I quite like the premise behind the game. Also, is anyone else getting something of a Terminator vibe from the whole thing?
Apparently the story involves you playing as Mason's son in a new Cold War with China who has begun hoarding rare minerals needed to build electronics and America's drone army has been taken over by terrorist who you will learn more about through flashbacks to the 1980's where you play as Frank Woods. Also the story will diverge at certain paths based on choices you make as well as how well you perform in new open ended missions where you lead a team of soldiers and drones in capturing objectives on large open maps. You can pop out of your soldier at any time to get an RTS-style overview of the battle and command your troops and then jump into any available drone or soldier to take direct control. Also horses.
It looks interesting and I can tell they put some thought into the story mode (well maybe thats not the correct word but they put SOMETHING into it). My main tiff is just that the CoD franchise,as a whole, has put a 'bad taste in my mouth', so to speak. Really shouldn't be putting my past dislikes automatically on this game, it's just that the franchise has a tendancy to reel in audiences with the name alone, and becuase of this it's kind of become the whore of video games to me. But if what pops said is true then this might actually be a damned fun game.
I also heard that they're improving zombies a tonne, which i'm pretty excited about. Different game modes, a 'bigger world' and they claim it could quite easily be its own game within the game. So i'm thinking they might even have a single player zombies campaign?
Francis it genuinely looks like they're putting a lot of effort into distinguishing this from the rest.
As a guy who's played through MW1 and a couple of demos but nothing else, it it worth me getting any of the other games in advance of this one? I've had about £100 for over a month now and I haven't decided how to spend it yet.
War movie templates excite me too guys

Yeah this looks pretty great
I wonder if i'll finally find out if Nixon survived the zombie outbreak

I'm actually interested in seeing how this pans out.
