11 Reasons to love (or loath) Black Ops II
Posted by robbierocket on Oct 3, 2012 10:48 AM
game aspect if all goes well... if not... my prediction 1. MATCHMAKING COD could be saved expect more lag resulting in frustration & the slow death of COD it's hard to imagine things won't improve after 2 years of rubbish but we're unlikely to see MW2 levels of matchmaking, BOII should be playable (just) 2. HOSTING hosts will be stable & have a minor advantage, migrations will be rare, rewarding gamers for staying in lobbies expect lag inconsistencies within a match, lag spikes & a lot of migrations see above, plus the system to reduce host advantage has brought more problems than solutions & is unlikely to change 3. PARTY FUNCTIONALITY players can enjoy fun & social evenings with their friends time spent online per person will decline and COD community will be less "team" orientated and become more "solo" not perfect & unlikely to be integrated into intra-party matchmaking where the "whole party" is matched 4. PLAYLISTS & DLC INTEGRATION matches can be found quickly with or without DLC playlists will be confusing and exclusives playlists or new maps will be hard to get a decent game on it has to be done better than MW3, I'm hoping for 3-4 bundles spread out like WAW 5. SPAWNING spawn deaths, spawn trapping & flip spawns will be gone expect MW3 spawn deaths, BO flip spawns and the possibility of having no chance of survival after spawn on occasion better than all CODs except WAW, but 3-4 team TDM will be messy 6. KNIFING it will go unnoticed and sit harmoniously with the game panic knifing and stealth Usain Bolts will run around with blades way better than recent games and similiar to WAW, OHK but no lunge: you'll have to touch the enemy 7. WEAPONS, PERKS & STREAKS BALANCE the game will be fair & fun for everyone popular guns or familiar classes will rule the games & cries of OP will be heard balanced, just like WAW and BO 8. INNOVATION BOII will earn its place alongside the other Treyarch CODs as unique gimmicks, whistles & bells will hinder rather than aid the experience it will stand alone as a thoughtful game 9. CUSTOMISATION people will return again and again to unlock, progress & create their own digital avatars & soldiers porn-emblems & poor game functionality will be spotlighted customisation will be the best yet & gamers will feel ownership over their creations 10. PS3 QUALITY the game will utilise more of the PS3's power & function well it will feel like a nasty poor port not as smooth as X-Box but still good 11. CAMPAIGN, ZOMBIES ET AL there will be other legitimate reasons to play Black Ops II everything will rest upon multiplayer the campaign will inspire the multiplayer continuation & Zombies will be many gamers' salvation OVERALL it will be amongst the best of COD it will be part 3 of flawed sequels (BO, MW3 & BOII), following the trilogy of classics (MW, WAW & MW2) Black Ops II will have enough to put it up towards the better CODs but some of the biggest issues will not have been fixed to a satisfying level
