[citation][nom]the_al[/nom]My facts are right.It's a completely different game, that works on an existing code base. It's not done from scratch.They are profiting off the noteriety/brand name made possible by infinity ward.Get your business concepts right, and marketing right before you try a rebuttal.These people are riding the Modern Warfare2 coe-tails(sp?) made possible by the original infinity ward/MW2 crew.----Blackops will be nothing like Modern Warfare 2.Everyone should wait for respawn entertainments first release.[/citation]
if you wanna talk original codebase, then you need to go back to id software from whom they originally bought it!!! And no, Treyarch developed each other game from the beginning almost, so stop your fanboyism right there. Yes Infinity award made great games, but treyarch made great games too, just in a more oldschool direction. They are the same games, but slightly different philosophy behind them. Though I can't quite see it with black ops.
Call of duty died for me when they introduced weapon customization and kill-streak bonuses, what a load of crap. But then again, I'm an oldschool DooMer from when that game came to MSDOS around the globe. You can clearly see from the sales figures that they've hit the head on the nail with cod4, and that's why they stayed in that track with mw2 and not black ops.
what set me off the most about these new realistic games is that they are no fun in multiplayer because you can't see the enemy shooting at you. And don't give me that crap about it being realistic, I'm not playing a game for it to be realistic. I'm playing it for fun, and it's not fun getting sniped from far away from a guy you didn't even see.
