I don't play COD anymore but I won't lie, I always anticipate the multiplayer reveals, just for the faint glimmer of hope that I'll see something that looks like COD4 rather than MW2 and beyond.
But I'll never buy into the series again without at least dedicated servers and server lists.

Not as excited as any previous CoD but will still watch. MW2 was so crazily hyped people took an entire week off, half the boys did in my school (
). Black Ops 2 was second most hyped, because it basically fixed lots of things so the previous ones did wrong. But I think it's peaked. Ghosts doesn't have that much hype, at least for me.
I said I had swine flu and got to first prestige crazy fast

MW3 had a huge tournament on the day of the MP announcement with lots of prize money, that's FAR bigger IMO.
Please tell me you are joking. The linear, tiny maps of that game are typical MW3 style crap and weapon balance isn't even remotely existent unless you're comparing BO2 to MW2.
EDIT:
Yeeeep, that's the cycle alright. Snap out of it. You know neo-IW has literally no motivation or ability to make a half balanced game. Punish their pockets one at a time.

maps are GARBAGE, they mostly all boil down to the same 3 routes with headglitch spots on every corner..
weapon balance is fine though, except the sniper. You can spam them like cray.. without recoil.. 1 shot to the friggin foot.. no flinch..

They even had Kanye West perform at that reveal.
MW3 reveal was far bigger than anything Activision has done for COD.

Overpowered Sniper rifles is not weapon balance.

Guns in the Black Ops series feel too similar. In COD4, W@W and MW2 the guns all felt different. MW2 had the most variation in how the guns performed which is why I love the gunplay in MW2. I think that is one of the main reasons why some people think MW2 is unbalanced. COD4 was pretty much this way also, but in that game it was clear which guns were the best in each gun category unlike in every game after COD4.

I'm pretty hyped for this reveal. I'm excited to play a next gen COD at launch.
I agree. Infinity Ward always did guns better IMO. Although BLOPS 2 is solid.

I hate COD as much as the next guy, but I'll be interested in what they have in store, I always thought their multiplayer reveals to be interesting to watch

I'm interested to see. I'm guessing they will just show the next gen versions. Maybe bullet penetration will be better with actual micro destruction? They also said there will be some sort of "levelution" but more scripted than in BF4 I guess (though in essence it's also scripted in BF4)
Who knows?
Who knows?
See, this is when I think I played a different version of Blops 2. Awful maps, dominant SMGs, the worst netcode of all time. Don't dirty CoD4's name with comparing the two, the first BO did a much better job at going for the crown.

Bad maps (made MW3 look not so bad). Small maps. SMG hipe fire fest (aided by the small map design, everything other weapon is worse except maybe one or two assault rifles). Forced to prestige to unlock everything (perks, guns, equipment, etc)
Was disappointing as I liked the original BLOPS and sad to see them wasting remakes of good BLOPS maps on shitty BLOPS 2.
The problem with blops 2 is the ability to have multiple perks ruins the rock/paper/scissors nature of the game. I feel if that was changed or had a heavier penalty the rest of the game's problems would correct itself. Its not enough to require an additional point for an extra perk in a certain color. Maybe a two point penalty.
Ha that's exactly what I did.

This, and this.
I'd kinda like to see the perks evolve into physical slots like how you see them on rpgs for the loot body chart, legs,arms,body,head perks. example legs - extreme conditioning, dead silence, arms- quick reloads/ swap faster, things that relate to those body parts
kinda like the attachments on BO2 but for the body now. hah

This. Don't forget 24/7 shock darts, useless sound perks and Treyarch completely ignoring net code issues, pinning the blame on ISP's. IW isn't perfect, but they have always acknowledged their issues.
This is what killed the game for me too. I've brought every single COD game since COD2, but now I'm making it a point to never buy another Treyarch game ever again, all due to BO2 (that's why I'm hoping that Ghosts looks good, because if it doesn't, it would be a 3 year wait for me since the last one to even consider buying a new game in the series again).
Also, am I the only one that misses the way sound worked in MW1 and MW2? Sound whoring, some would call it, but I loved the ability to hear people's footsteps clearly, and how crouching gave you more of a tactical advantage by completely eliminating the sound that you made. It also made Dead Silence so much better than the waste of a perk slot that it is today (more so in BO2 than in MW3, but it still sucks nonetheless). The great thing is that you could actually listen to people's footsteps in MW1/MW2 without even using headphones. It made matches less chaotic and dumb, and more tactical. I want that shit back, dammit.

The maps are much, much, much better than the crap in MW3. Black Ops 2 maps have a few too many entrances/exits to buildings, in general. But they're not the Swiss cheese maps with no flow from Modern Warfare 3.
And by "headglitching", do you mean cover?

Playing the campaign in COD 2 for 360 when it launched is one of my favorite gaming moments. Played it on a shitty tv with the sound connected to my stereo on full blast. Shit was so next gen to me. Hopefully this game on the XBO gives me the same feels. Doubt it though since I'm 8 years older

yes but by the way guns shoot in this game (also something that needs fixing) all maps are headglitchfests and ruins the game completely. you basically shoot from your eyes, instead of you know, your gun.
I cant believe im going to say this but... Have you seen Titanfall?
It's the game you've been hoping for, dedicated servers, made by the guys who made mw1 and mw2

Hope they have guns in the mp.
They are when the maps are designed to hinder campers and/or snipers and no1 else.

The weapon balancing in BOII is hilarious, oh lets 'balance' the AN94 let leave all the BS sniper rifles as they are.
I mean the SUV, and auto fire, sniper rifle with zero recoil that takes no skill to use?
Bravo Treyarch. If they would have kept sniping how it was in BO1 then it would have been a better game, if they had kept the netcode from BO1 then it would have been even better.
I do like some of the maps, but they are headglitch fests (yes I know it's a symptom of the engine) but don't build maps around that 'symptom' FFS.
Imbeciles. They will forever be known Trollarch for me now.

To be fair, the netcode and hit detection in BO1 were pretty shit too.
Hence why I am not buying another Treyarch game ever again. If they can't get right two of the most essential things in a shooter, then they are not selling functional products. The fact that they can't admit that the fault is theirs just adds insult to injury.

If you think Sniper Rifles are OP in Black Op 2, you're just a bad player. They're basically free kills 95% of the time. Sorry guys.
BO2 maps (except Carrier and Aftermath) are leagues better than the garbage in MW3. And if SMGS are so OP, why do people say snipers, shotguns, FAL, AN94, LSAT, and even handguns are OP? How can nearly everything be OP?

Haha I knew it would be a "fantastic" teaser after reading those lovely comments.
I played Black Ops 2 on pc,they did a decent job no server browser though but still dedicated servers and the updates went on nicely but i stopped playing when the first map pack came a long and at this point I..i..don't care anymore,this series has stagnated to a point where the intrest is low or none.
Other games are better on the horizon and dota 2 is consuming me it just a shame that activision still pumping this out every single year and that people never get tired of it,it blows my mind really.

If they don't come right out and say, "No more lag compensation, headglitching, or quickscoping" then no thanks.

The only other one I can think of is September 26th, which is the day that the Eurogamer Expo starts.
Headglitching is going to be there, useless you want maps without any cover at all.
The other two can be fixed.
