  1. "yeah me too. Played through 1 hour of the campaign at my friend's house and i decided i would never buy a CoD game. EVER."

    Wow, one hour? I wish I could decide to never try a franchise again EVER again that quickly. What part of the campaign did you try? Did your friend just drop you into some random part? Are you just part of the "I hate CoD because it's cool" fan group?

    I thought the campaign was a pretty good blockbuster style story. Of course it will never be seen as great because of how stupidly popular the series is now. Rent it and give the campaign an actual go through, maybe you'll have fun.

    The multiplayer, on the other hand, is pretty basic. While fun, I don't understand the popularity of it. Then again, most of the voices I hear on there are frat boys or children so maybe that explains it a little bit.

    Zombies is fun too, although they didn't change much (or anything at all) from WaW.
  2. I have an idea... How about they just make one great zombie "game" They obviously SUCK at multiplayer. Concentrate on an actual full blown zombie game.

    There were alot of generic characters, but the russian guy was pretty cool; all of them had pretty good voice acting. The story wasn't bad from what i had been through, but it wasn't compelling enough. Then combine that with bad level design, generic gameplay, and less than average graphics. Everyone talks about how the gameplay never changes and that really gives me no incentive to play the game. I've played some of the previous installments(WAW, MW1), and i felt like they were passable. But the series seems to be getting worse as it progresses.

    I find that for 90% of games, if you aren't enjoying it within the first hour, you won't like it.
  4. THIS... IS... AWESOME!!! Finally, an all Zombies map pack. The only thing I'm pissed about is that 2 weeks ago I went out and traded my standard copy of Black Ops in and payed an extra $100 with my trade value and bought an unsold Prestige Edition of Black Ops just to get the original Zombies maps for it. Now I find out I could've just waited another month and paid only $15 to get the original maps and had money to put towards another game! Oh well... Good news is I get the 'Rezurection' map pack for free. Go waisting money... :(....

    Why is it, Call of Duty used to be a very historically accurate WWII shooter. Back then it was ground breaking, Graphics, action, everything about it made it the best WWII Shooter ever made.

    Now when this stupid developer came in (Treyarch) Zombies appears to the main multiplayer game? The gamplay hasn't really changed at all and the graphics haven't been increased since Modern Warfare and the level design has only gotten worse and worse.

    I'm truly, and utterly shocked as to how many people play this game, Hell one of my friends religously plays it and will stand up for it to no end. After speaking to him, the reason he plays the game so much is because, well its easy to understand, apparently is is completely unable to grasp TF2 or Battlefield: Bad Company 2??

    So either is is completely stupid or these games have a massive learning curve.
    And to be honest, I think its the former option.
  6. So your concerned how zombies got onthe moon, so your happy that the unead exist but getting them on the moon is unrealistic!

    No if you read my post (assuming you were replying to me) you'll find that I find all the COD games since MW utter rubbish for people who either can't grasp "complex" gameplay mechanics or simply don't want to.

    I'd rather wait and play Dead Isle and keep my military shooters (vaguely) in the realms of reality.
  9. And The Best Thing About it for xbox if u already have the first 3 map packs you get the last one for free
  10. Cod was made for epic multiplayer not campaign. Its not supernatural that millions of people buy the game, its best multiplayer game ever made. But in the world of video games the quote "don't hate the player, hate the game" holds no meaning. As no matter how good you make a game, kids will still do everything they can to be cheap and ruin the game. Chew on that for a bit, trolls.

    You have to be joking right? At least, I really hope so.
  12. you guys do realize that the maps are going to be refurbished meaning redone with the black ops guns on waw maps for zombies its not the same
  13. True, but these maps were already refurbished for those who got the Black Ops Hardened/Prestige Edition, making it an extremely cheap, easy, and top-selling pack or those who didn't buy the Hardened/Prestige. IMO, Treyarch is putting no effort in their map packs. $15 per map pack is bullshit.
  14. no, what they do is put the blackops guns in the waw maps, that what they do.
  15. wait thet say it will be free of charge to Hardened and Prestige edition owners but how would we get the code????? hmm i hope thats true and plus it would be nice to get it for free lol
  16. I hate how all of a sudden everybody plays CoD. I think people that have been loyal CoD fans since the beginning should get the map packs for free. I mean, having 10 years olds AND 30 years old screaming at me everytime I play a match? It is getting old...
  17. So those of us who bought WAW and then the DLC for the WAW Zombie maps will be paying for the same 4 maps again as part of Rezurrection just so that we can get the 1 new moon map?!? That seems like a ripoff to those of us who have been loyal to the COD franchise to have to pay for the same 4 maps again? You would think that if they are giving it free to those with Hardened or Prestige versions of BO that they would also throw a bone to those of use who bought WAW w/ DLCs? $15 for the 1 new Moon map just doesn't seem fair, i think I'll sit this one out.
  18. Can you get the zombies map pack for free

    I wish people would learn that Activision doesn't see customers as people, but as numbers. That's all you and everyone who buys Activisions games is, a number, a stinkin' statistic, a prediction of future profit to them.

    Activision isn't in the business of making money, it's in the business of brain washing and sucking you dry without you ever realizing it. And the sad thing is, people will still defend them knowing this.
  20. You can only get the new zombie maps free if you bought the Hardened or Prestige editions of Black Ops, if you previously purchased the 4 original maps through WAW then you are being screwed by Activision because they are charging you $15 to get the one new Moon map plus the same 4 WAW zombie maps again.
