Halo 2 was the best Halo game
A7x FoREVer!

I own every CoD that appeared on a Xbox or Xbox 360 console except Black ops II. Due to recent releases in the series (Black Ops and MW3) I realized Call of Duty was no more then a recycled game with a different story, and after playing Black Ops 2 I see no difference.

I played the multiplayer for a good 4-6 hours the weekend before launch at a friend's house and honestly I saw no real difference between BO2 and BO. Treyarch still manages to make a sub-par multiplayer compared to the original Infinity Ward (the staff that made the original CoD, CoD2, CoD4, and MW2). The campaign was plagued by those stupid Strike Force missions, and still managed to play out exactly like previous CoD campaigns with a slightly different plot. I hated it. Zombies was fine and dandy but within an hour you realize its the same game mode from WaW and Black Ops: Get a good gun and perks, get a train of zombies, unload a clip on the train of zombies, repeat until bored.

If you cannot see Activision giving you the same game every year with a $60 price tag then its your loss. Don't even get me started with how Treyarch has copy/pasted their multiplayer based off everything innovative by IW. If you think Treyarch is the superior CoD developer then you are by no means a long time fan of the series.

I wasn't there for the first 3 CoDs and that's about it. If you can not see what's wrong with MW2 then you just need to sell your xbox. As for the rest if that's what you think of Black ops 2 then its your loss really. The only great game IW has ever made imo is CoD 4.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

MW2 suffered a lot because IW never fixed some balancing issues within the game. However, as we all know that giant lawsuit between the former IW heads and Activision occurred shortly after MW2's release, so I don't blame the studio for it. If you think IW's only great game was CoD4, then you missed out. Besides, IW is the studio that created the CoD IP, added custom classes, added kill streak rewards, are the brains behind most of CoD's game modes, and created the game engine that CoD still uses to this day. I hate when people claim Treyarch is the superior CoD developer because half of IW's studio left in 2010/2011.

"There's a very fine line between not listening, and not caring. I'd like to think that I walk that line every day."

I like it.

Although I don't like the fact that a lot of the emblems are locked and there are so few now.

20 kill streak without scorestreaks in TDM in order to unlock a cool blood splatter? -blam!- hell, Treyarch.

It was good. Not FarCry3 good. But...good.

They weren't too busy to put off the terrible overpriced map packs they were making, and it wasn't just minor balancing it was inherently broken game mechanics and a huge hacker problem (even worse on PS3) and then there's a campaign that makes no sense blah blah etc. I never claimed Infinity ward didn't make the franchise what it is today I'm just claiming they went down the toilet after CoD 4 and Treyach know what's best for the series now.

Apart from Strike missions (Which only sucked because they are IMPOSSIBLE on veteran) Blops 2 is utterly stellar in my eyes. And I'm not some kind of fanboy either I'm just shocked a game rekindled my love for CoD after the failed abortion that wwas MW3.

I know exactly why the Blood splatter is so hard to get lol; all those retarded sperm stain emblems in Blops.

Mreh.

I liked how the story seemed much darker, at least in the missions set in the past. I haven't really gotten around to properly playing it since I just got Mass Effect 2 and I can't play on week days.
