When are we playing Blops 2? I would probably play tonight since I have nothing to do in Destiny until tomorrow as I already maxed out on Iron Banner rep, Crucible Marks and raided Crota with all my toons until the weekly reset.

I am updating my 360 after spending an inordinate amount of time hooking the thing back up, and I'm only hoping that BO2 is still in the machine because otherwise I have no idea where the disk is.

But then if they don't change anything they get complaints about it being the exact same game. At this point it's almost impossible to not alienate some part of the fanbase. If it makes you feel any better what I've been hearing is that it does still feel pretty much like BO2 with a flatter, three-lane design and the new movement stuff is mostly just gimmicks that aren't essential to doing well (i.e. the ziplines from BO1).


I'm still hoping to get the entire nightly HC crew back together someday as those were probably my favorite CoD sessions to date. Here's hoping BO3 HC modes have teamkilling! :commissar:

If that's really the case with the movement stuff, then that's fine by me. I forgot Blops 1 even had ziplines, to be honest. The thing about alienating the fanbase seems silly to me, though, considering there's a new COD game every year being made by three different companies. We should be able to get a good balance of games with new stuff and games with the old things we enjoy, because let's face it, we're all stupid enough to keep buying the games anyway.

And I'm all for the return of the HC crew and the spreadsheet. HC in AW was similar enough that we could've had a good run there. But Ty was vehemently opposed to the jumping around (I don't really blame him).

I'll probably still have C4 as my deadliest weapon even with the nerf.

Good BLOPS 2 games last night. I am worried that my 360 is dying, though. It seems like my connection got worse the more I played. I know hosts can be bad, but I'm pretty sure getting random one bars during games is not normal.

I never had a host migration act like I left the game and rejoined before, either. That probation I got afterwards was nice, too.

The ratio of PS4 to XB1 from the previous game is irrelevant. More than one PS4 player, during the life of that COD, acquired an XB1 and purchased a second copy of the game for it. I don't believe the other direction occurred. I project many more XB1 players this time around making it a significant majority.

I'm sure one of Stu'a graphs could better illustrate my point.

Hey guys!

I'm an old 360 COD multiplayer guy and I'm looking for a clan that doesn't suck. Anyone have (good) suggestions? I'm looking for a mature group of players (that are actually good at playing the game). If you invite me to a clan with 13 year old kids I will block you. I'm 23, I'm sick of all those annoying kids that shouldn't be on COD. I would like to join a clan that has similar interests. I have some great classes to share with you guys, I'm mostly an assault heavy guy but recently I have made a very good sniper class that I have managed to get perfectionist on already. So, who wants to kick some serious rear end?

I distinctly remember people on the PS3/4 complaining about how there was never anyone to play with, while the Xbox goons kept splitting parties so more could join in.

I always enjoyed Treyarch CODs over IW CODs. May be because I started actually playing shootymans on Blops1.

Guess what nerds, heartbeat sensors are real now. Rainbow 6 (the novel) and MW2 got something right.
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/...ent&sf9042777=1

quote:

Emergency workers were able to identify four men who'd been trapped in Nepal's rubble—and then save them—thanks to a novel technology: advanced heartbeat detection.
The recent rescues represent the first ever real-world use of advanced sensing technology developed by NASA and the Department of Homeland Security.
Two prototype units of that system, called Finding Individuals for Disaster and Emergency Response (FINDER), were sent to Nepal in the days following the April 25 earthquake. (Read about how Nepal could be rebuild for the next earthquake.)
“For me as the developer of the technology, it was like sending a child off to college,” says Jim Lux, who manages the project at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.
About the size of a carry-on bag, a FINDER unit is powered by a lithium battery and sends out low-power microwaves. The waves can detect subtle movements, such as the slight pulsing of skin that reveals a heartbeat. The waves can penetrate up to about 30 feet (9 meters) into mounds of rubble or 20 feet (6 meters) into solid concrete.
That turned out to be enough in Nepal, where several men were trapped beneath up to ten feet of rubble for days in the hard-hit village of Chautara, north of Kathmandu.

Nice to see that its first use wasn't to find and kill brown people. :unsmith:

Posting this here for my fellow canadians who are thinking getting this game despite the wonderful 80$ pricetag, amazon.ca is having a 10% off deal which you can stack with an additional 10% off by using this code: MAYSAVE10
which brings it to around 65$ before tax.

Now to know which version goons go to this time, AW lasted longer on xbox one goon presence wise but the overall population is bigger on PS4 so I'm wondering which version to get.
