Posted this in the sales thread but in case it gets buried there

"Black Ops 2 hasn't had it's season pass on sale in about a year and a half and not only that it got a permanent price drop. It's also the only game in the series for the 360 on sale... I might be reading too much into it but... maybe?"

Nah, I agree. I think for those interested in going digital for BC, now would be the time to get it.

 

[im_dany]

COD 2, COD 3 and COD WaW are also on sale.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

I"m going to assume Crackdown 1 and 2 BC will come with Crackdown 3.

 

[Lucifon]

Any rumours about today's release? Seriously hoping it's one of the games on sale e.g Blops 2 or Fable Anniversary.

 

[RiggityRice]

I bought ninja gaiden 2 for 8$ with the hope that it will be backwards compatible one day soon. So add another to Team NinjaGaiden2

Plus it's crazy over priced, another sign it's going BC =D

I'm just hoping for Rockstar Table Tennis! Nothing like that exists.

 

[CJY]

Tuesday's and Thursday's at 12PM EST is when they get announced. If it's like 12:10 and no post by Major Nelson on twitter, then there is nothing ready

Also, welcome!

Wow, major Nelson is still around. Haven't heard that name in a while. The memes were fabulous.

The best R* game.

From your lips to Ybarra's ears.

Amen.

 

[That Damn Kid]

I played Battlefield Bad Company 2 last night for the first time in a couple weeks. Glad to see it's still somewhat active.

The guy has been the source for BC games and news for a long time. He has never gone anywhere.

Still wanting my NCAA '14.


...Still keeping a 360 for that ONE game....let me retire it MS.

Sorry, haven't really kept updated with Xbone's BC. Wasn't he head of Xbox PR at one point? Does he have a reduced role now, or is it the same as it has always been?

Still the same...or more so..

He does all their major presentations and he's often right on the home screen of the Xbox One. E3/Game Reveals/Tournaments/Special Sales...etc, he heads them up.

[AusRoachman]

Max Payne 3 when ?

 

[x Dredgen Yor x]

I"m going to assume Crackdown 1 and 2 BC will come with Crackdown 3.

i don't think they'll want to draw attention to Crackdown 2. 1 yes.

Same guy, same role. He appears on the Xb1 dashboard every week.

No. Director of Programming for Xbox Live since '03.

See yall thursday!

 

[Dsyndrome]

See yall thursday!

We still have an hour until disappointment.

 

[m23]

For the love of God please make Ninja Gaiden 2 BC.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Part of me wants BLOPS2 so people on twitter can stop harrassing Major and Phil...the other part knows that even if BLOPS2 comes out, the crowd will turn their attention to some other game, probably Modern Warfare 2.

Blops 2 is the better multiplayer game (IMO). Though MW2 BC would be nice. I've got both and would be into a few days online TDM for both.

That and I'd like to watch the insane end custcene from Blops 2 again.

Yeah, but let's be honest, the forced purchase of COD: IW just to get COD: MWR was a success for Activision. I foresee them doing the same with BLOPS2 and the new Sledgehammer COD coming out this year.

The controls are feeling a bit clunky now but it's still one of the finest games of last gen.

Rather than me admitting I got my timezone wrong, let's pretend I posted from the future...

 

[always crazy bacon]

I'm feeling nothing today because the sale is today's news, Scorpio specs was last thursdays news and we got nothing then. Would be amazing if a game on sale this week was made backwards compatible. We will know in about 1/2 an hour.

 

[Sephimoth]

Sonic Generations would be good

I think it would be good news to announce a game or two that's on that list...good selling opportunity.

Fable Anniversary would be amazing news for me.

Find out in about 15 min either way haha

 

[Bizzquik]

I am from the future.
While unfortunately Major won't have any BC announcements today, he will have a tweet about how totally awesome Scorpio is going to be.

 

[LordBaztion]

I'm happy with the freesync on scorpio, so I will just ignore if Too Human delays a week more.

For some reason this morning I felt the need to play Pure.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

I need Vanquish and Ninja Gaiden II.

If it's BC related, I hope it's not the Call of Duty game just to see the world burn.

Edit: Dang it! Black Ops 2 it is.

Hasbro Family FUN Pack, I'm calling it

 

[shandy706]

All those people asking for more Call of Duty games on BC makes me want to slap the internet.

 

[EffEmmGee]

True Achievements mention Blops 2.

 

[ForkNetwork]

I think its BLOPS 2

 

[Theorry]
