#1

Just wondering if there is any plan to include Blackops in games we play coz it’s looking good, dedicated servers return and i recon i’m going to get it.

and here’s the new trailer.

Yeh considering the majority of the older clan members came on board for cod4, I think we’re all keeping an eye on it. We basically have a looksee at every fps that comes out and see if it’ll fly for us. Here’s hoping this one is solid :yes:

Dedicated servers are supposedly back with black ops. Looking at the trailer, it seems Treyarch have had to incorporate Activisions desired stuff from mw2 … they may drop a bomb like having ded servers aka bc2 style where you have pretty much no control over all game mechanics.

I certainly hope they deliver ded servers in full … but until i see the proof… i’ll be skeptic.

same


#5

Yeah, hopefully you don’t need to be connected to the internet to play lan’s either, coz that is worse than shit.


#6

#7

#8

#9

Good god, this might actually show promise!

"We plan to open the game up for modding sometime post-launch. We do not know yet to what extent you will be able to mod the game. There are some purely technical issues related to engine and internal tool enhancements that do not easily fit the modtools paradigm. We have looked at it close enough to see that it is non-trivial and we will have to pick it up again post-launch. Right now we are completely focused on finishing the game.

And, dev console: confirmed. "

i think i might just go preorder this for pc right now … ive already got the preorder for the ps3 why not pc 2 hey …


#12

its your money


#13

lol, I think the only game I’ve preordered to date is Dragon Age. With the ever increasing consolisation of gaming, I highly doubt i’d preorder anythin again. FPS particularly seem hit and miss, dunno why you’d preorder when they’re gonna be putting thousands of em on shelves.


#14

Even more so when you can get the game brand new for the PC for $30 on its release date. Mafia 2 is the first game I’ve ever preordered and that’s only because it is the follow up to my favourite game.

The way I have always thought about it, if you are dying to play the new game then preorder it as it guarantees that you’ll get a copy straight up. (Remembering that Tassie is not the metropolis that Sydney and Melbourne are)

Brand new for $30? for the new Cod? when where how?


#16

doesn’t come til like end of november lol

They usually get the games straight away, and with shipping always come to around $30. You have to wait roughly a fortnight for it to arrive though.

I’ve bought CoD MW2, Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect 2, Assassins Creed 2 and Bad Company 2 all from those sellers for $30 each, they are always brand new, still in the wrapper.

Here’s an example, $26 for Mafia 2 which I paid $109 for locally just yesterday.

i agree that store kicks arse.
i paid 20 odd for bc2 on release

There is an improved server browser on the pc for codblackops

Matchmaking on the pc is just letting the game pick a server in codblackops

There will be a Spectator mode in codblackops on the pc

These are all from my interview with @pcdev

There are no public server files… @tgn is full of it…

The pc sku will have “/record” and the theatre mode

codblackops will be a steam exclusive game using VAC

Unranked servers will be fully customisable! Ranked I think you can customise the map/gametypes!

Treyarch had a question time for the MP … with the community questions (major ones) answered.

Fuck you activision is my general thoughts.

It remains to be seen exactly how much control will be given out … but another bc2 server release it will be. The COD series has thrived on the mod support for the game … thats no more … so the cash cow is out in the paddock and feeding well it seems.

IF Hypernia get servers … i might buy it … but if its only gameservers we’re fucked anyway as they have 1 data centre in the southern hemisphere only …

steam exclusive too :yucky: …

certainly looks like the bc2 division wont have issues with numbers lol

Always thought it was going to be a stretch to see a true follow up to CoD4 MP.
