Oh, another COD.

This is a Treyarch game right? I always seem to like Treyarch COD games better, from a multiplayer stand point. They seem to take all the crazy shit that IW does in the previous game and balances it correctly. Then they add better maps.

body odor?

Hotel was such a great map
-
Villa really stood out to me, reminded me of the fun in some of the more exotic maps in CS. Inferno, Italy and such. Plus lots of great choke points.

this better be a DLC pack for 14.99... :P

That was what Epic was planning to do with Unreal Tournament (UT2003, UT2004, and UT2007, which got renamed to UT3).

-
I'm curious to know if people are excitedly looking forward to this (among our CoD fans?)
-
I sort of am, but I only play the multiplayer portion. I mean I know it's basically the same game with different tweaks, but it's still fun. COD multiplayer has been excellent since the 1st one.
-
I'm thinking if its CoDBLOPS2 I'll probably get and enjoy it (I loved CoD4, I liked CoDBLOPS a lot...and I didn't care for MW2 or MW3).
-
Though its hard to imagine it pulling me away from Tribes: Ascend and BF3 for very long...those are my two go-to games right now!
-

-
I eagerly await the pre-order exclusives, day 1 DLC lineup, and new perks available via extra subscription fee...all bundled up in the same old game engine! Activision, you are so good to us, we are not worthy! *Throws my money at them*
-
man I miss when a sequel announcement was a huge deal. remember when we heard that diablo 2 was coming out? remember the mind blowing news that there was a quake 2 in the works?
hearing about a new COD coming out is like stating that at some point tommorow, a fart will be released somewhere on planet earth.-

Activision's music rhythm franchise was Guitar Hero. That entire genre flamed out in 2010, with Green Day: Rock Band, Rock Band 3, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, Def Jam Rapstars, and PowerGig, Rise of the SixString (you may not have heard of that one, but its legacy shall be the marketing phrase, "No one is more authentic than Kid Rock!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVMnesyAsjQ ).
Despite everyone here saying they're sick of Call of Duty, the Call of Duty series keeps hitting the "biggest entertainment release ever" each year since MW2 (2009). Sales-wise, it's still on the incline, even though it seems to be creatively bankrupt, rehashing the same "corridor-setpiece-corridor" single-player and "team deathmatch with persistent perks and unlocks" multiplayer that led to Call of Duty 4's explosive popularity. Yes, this holiday season, it will have been 5 years since Call of Duty 4.
I pretty much know what to expect: http://www.shacknews.com/chatty?id=27052940#item_27052940 ...and I know when it's releasing: November 6, 2012

no you'll have to get the classic map pack DLC for that
-
I am absolutely not doing this again this year. MW2 wasn't terrible but I still felt robbed. I put in for Black Ops and that should have been the last straw. MW3s campaign wasn't terrible but the multiplayer was a meh recycle.
Unless this gets outstanding reviews and people say it does something vastly different and is actually an incredible game, I'm going to be spending my money elsewhere.-

Won't happen, not enough people actually care about it, the only people that "care" about it are the hardcores who only do play cod

I found the campaign pretty terrible. In MW2 you had some really great moments where everything came together really well. Coming over the hill to see Whiskey Hotel, space view of EMP with cut down to DC, russian landfall, "No russian". The game had atmosphere, and made internally sense. MW3 on the other hand felt like they had set pieces that they wanted to check off that really didn't fit together, landmarks being the most important design focus. Worse than that, though, they didn't manage to make me care. I didn't care about any of the characters, nor any of the story. The entire universe was a joke that flatlined.
Multiplayer probably wouldn't have been bad if it wouldn't have been so cheat infested. At least on the PC. Ranked dedicated servers would have really helped out here.-

And when was this? At launch? Since anyone can download hacks for free, and since there's no updated cheat detection for the p2p network, no more patches, things have gone a bit downhill since then. It also doesn't help that people who get reported don't actually get banned, or that there is no votekick function. There's no incentive to keep people from cheating. Which leads to me having played less games without wallhackers than with them in the overall. Something along the lines of 2 in 3 games. I've been playing online fps for nearly 15 years. I'm confident I can spot a cheat even if it's a little more subtle than invincible, unlimited ammo aimbotting while flying.
