Wake up, sheep.

That is more insulting than offering a fan favourite map for free as a part of an entire pre-order package...

I take it once you woke up you stopped buying GH titles right, because you know those are just recycled too

Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and composer Jack Wall are doing the soundtrack for this game.

I thought the OST for the first Black Ops was crappy, so I have faith in the two for making BLOPS2's music.

Got a call from EB Games last night (Canada) advising me of my pre order code for Nuketown 2025 and telling me to register it immediately.

They claim the cutoff is tonight, so if you haven't registered the code to your PSN account email, you won't be getting Nuketown.

Apparently Nuketown, like the posters, are a limited time bonus as part of the 4 wave system they have for pre orders. Wave one - posters, wave two - Nuketown, waves 3 & 4 - TBA.

I wonder if that is Canada only issue as I have not received any other correspondence other than my initial pre-order voucher.

Addendum: I went to my local GameStop this morning & inquired about this & i was told that the code for Nuketown would be included on my receipt. Just like all other pre-order DLC before. I did pre-order this in June when the first wave began though.

-Option to start with no weapons, load up on perks and equipment.
-You start out with 10 choices/options per class.

Thats the stuff that was leaked last month after E3, posted at the Gaf an was reposted here but then we had the database loss. The podcast was edited and re posted with the Black Ops 2 part completely removed, but can be found online if you look hard enough.

I'd completely forgoten about it thanks for re posting

Anyway new MP details leaked...


MP classes will work on a points system.

10 point allocation system replaces primary/secondary/grenades slot system
Guns, attachments, equipment, perks take up allocation points

for example you could have 2 primary weapons which would use most of your points and only have 1 perk.

Or No guns but lots of perks, so you could get a knife kill, steal a gun and make good on all the perks you choose.

New wager match variations.

Everyone starts with a machine pistol and 1 emp grenade, you have to disable and hack drones to get more kills, only way to get more emp grenades is to take them from another player.

4 points = primary
2 points = secondary
3 points = 3 perks
1 point = flashbang/grenade

4 + 2 +3 + 1 = 10

which would be the classic set up

Or, maybe you could mix things up. Just have all perks and a knife and then just pick up a gun from a dead boddy.

Activision Applies For Black Ops II Trademarks, Including ‘There’s a Soldier in All of Us’

Activision has recently applied for a few Black Ops II-related trademarks, according to Fusible. The trademarks include the following:

The Roman Numeral II

Obviously, the number “2″ in the Black Ops II logo is in roman numerals.

The Future is Black

First tagline used for the game was “The Future is Black”, as featured in the premiere trailer.

There’s a Soldier in All of Us

We’re not really sure what to make of this one. However, we know that the multiplayer reveal should be next month, and “There’s a Soldier in All of Us” was used as the tagline of a live action trailer to promote the multiplayer component in the original Black Ops.

You're absolutely right, GH titles are even worse. I don't think I've collectively spent $60 on GH games, but the $180 on CoD games and I'm not itching to make it $240.

But to each their own, yes, it is a fan favorite map. And I didn't realize they were doing preorder waves, so we'll see what comes next.

Don't think i've ever been excited for a COD campaign, but this one does have me intrigued. Though i really don't want to spend 60 bucks on a COD game since i'll basically only play the campaign, since i've grown to hate the multiplayer of the franchise in the more recent titles, with the exception of the Zombie mode. I just can't justify buying it solely for the campaign, based on the length of the previous COD campaigns. I'll probably borrow it from a friend.
