The Call of Duty Thread

[*IZ*]

The playable character of Black Ops 2 is someone called David Mason, the son of Alex Mason. The guy you see in the trailer a lot is someone called 'Harper'. All of this is over on the Call of Duty wikia if you want to check it out.

Three words for the new trailer: What. The. ****? Just giving my opinions on trailer:
-Words pop up on the screen with Frank Woods. I am immediantly stunned and suprised he is just being obviously reintroduced when I thought he would be kept a secret within the story.

-He shows a lot of hate towards the Chinese, might have something to do with him being a POW in Hanoi Hilton. How long was he in there though?

-Saw the fighting stuff, the new guns and aircraft just scream Gears of Wars rip-offs but I'll let that slide.

-Horses? Really Treyarch, horses? We're going to mount some horses to defeat an army of robots

-'The enemy could be anyone', how does that apply to the enemy robots?

-The main antagonist is someone called Raul Mendenez after reading it on COD wikia, have no idea what this means.

-So aside from Frank Woods being in this game as well as Mason's son, how is this a direct sequel to Black Ops?

Treyarch, I know modern warfare has ended and gears of war and battlefield are doing great as well as other games like red dead redemption, but do you have to try and combine everything into one thing that makes no sense at all?

Zombies-At least that will be good, the original characters will probably return since they'll be teleporters to bring them to 2025.

EDIT: Ok, I was wrong before, this debut interview has given me hope that Black Ops 2 will actually be the best COD Treyarch will have done.

1/3 of the game takes place in the 1980's and will apparently include characters like Mason, Woods and Hudson, so a lot of story questions can be wrapped up there but new ones can be introduced that will be answered in 2025. Treyarch are doing multiple endings and also wanted to create a three dimensional villain that can be kept throughout their future cod games and they also wanted to give him a backstory. All of this has gotten me geared up for the game, I honestly cannot wait

EDIT 2: Another website which gives a good breakdown of the trailer, spots the sections that are in the 1980's and the ones that are in 2025:

What interested me is the second last one, which talks about how Frank Woods may have escaped prison, and likely the main villain of the game, Raul Menendez, got him as part of his speculated pact with the Chinese. Then Mason and perhaps some others broke him out and are escaping on horses. Woods looks like the one on the black horse due to the beard and the clothes he is sporting. Seems the 1980's section will feature massively on Operation Charybdis, showing what happened to Alex Mason, Hudson and Weaver. I am trying to prepare myself incase they all do actually get killed by the SAS

Guess with all of this new stuff, it would be too much to ask for Viktor Reznov to return, at least in the 1980's section of it?

Don't judge a book by its cover kids. ^^^ This just proved why.

Fuck yea zombies is back.

It actually looks like they can pull it through and make it badass. I'm impressed.

[Harrishun]

Who was the little **** complaining about horses?
That's the only reason this game is worth buying.

[Rezzo]

Exactly, when Poland got invaded in 1939 they didn't just stand around going "I DON'T WANNA FIGHT ON A HORSE, THIS WAR IS STUPID"

[Moneyy]

The trailer doesn't look that bad, but almost anything will be a huge upgrade from MW3. I wonder if they will have vehicles in BLOPS2 because of all the unmanned vehicles seen in the trailer. I think they will probably just make them all into killstreaks, though.

[Jb]

They need to bring tanks back.

[Black Dragon]

I went 25-0 with a tank once. Or several tanks. But that was a fun game.

I think the character you play as or at least a main character looks exactly like Woods, I think this man might be Woods' grandson or something like that.

Stay out assmunch.

They allready said its his kid, David Mason, read much?

It is indeed David Mason, the son of Alex Mason, both of whom you will be able to play as in BLOPS 2. Alex Mason will have 1/3 of the game focusing on his story with Hudson Weaver and Woods, whilst the rest of the game focuses on the modern cold war that includes David Mason.

EDIT: Just came across another interesting site of "48 things we should know about BLOPS II". What got me interested in the stuff is what they were saying about Reznov near the beginning:

[Ignika]

That's actually really informative. I'm guessing it is a reliable source, then, and it's not all bs?

Your wrong it isn't Woods kid, its Masons kid. Read much?

I kinda wish there was more on the multiplayer...

[Harrishun]

Nobody plays Call of Duty for the multiplayer.

[Larry]

Nobody plays Call of Duty for the multiplayer.

Sounds like you're calling me a nobody.

[Cornelius]

Nobody plays Call of Duty for the multiplayer.

Then there's no point to really playing Call of Duty at all, now is there?

"But what about the single player? People play that!"

I doubt that a very large portion of CoD players purchase the game for a short campaign with next to no replay value, if any.

[Harrishun]

Single-player is the only reason to play Call of Duty. You guys are stupid.

[I-am-the-peel]

Nobody plays Call of Duty for the multiplayer.

I think I might just sig this

The multiplayer is one of the highlights of COD's. Nothing screams fun like killing a person somewhere across the world that you've never met before and receiving a lot of hate from him over the mics.

@Larry, here's a little bit on multiplayer, not much but does let on for one confirmed map and how they should all look:

The L.A map is called Aftermath and Combat training is returning, hopefully the noobs will actually learn to go there before going online :/
