I take inspirational credit for this.

Tapatit.

I really hope that we get DLC for this game. Lack of DLC for Blops 2 on Wii U really irritated me. I feel as if the game never truly lived up to what it could have been because after a while playing the same maps got boring. It was super fun while it was fresh, though.

yeah i'm not sure why we needed another thread?

I'm in, but i'm not holding my breath that this will be as good as BO1 in terms of actual tactical team play. Everything they've claimed seems to point towards promoting skill-based play, but the videos i've seen look like the same high firing rate/low recoil/back-spawning spamfests with the same swiss-cheese maps which annoyed me so much in MW3 and BO2.

The dedicated servers will be owned/run by activision with a rental fee, i assume? How could the Wii U get those but not DLC?

Also, i was really hoping that the reason Activision went back-and-forth with revealing the Wii U version was because there was a zapper coming... Oh well, there's always next year.

i'm excited... Can't wait!

I scrolled slowly. I knew the last one was going to be the cupcakes/PTSD dog. I. knew. it.

I still have plans for getting COD: Ghosts for the Wii U, so definitely count me in for some TNE matches down the way.

Battlefield Master Race

I have no issue with dude prefering Battlefield, in some ways its a superior game. EA made the chice easy for Wii U gamers, sales might have been split had Battlefield 4 released this year on Wii U. I am betting Ghost does decent numbers, maybe Similar to MW3 on WII.

I'll be back with gifs and a video. >
This isn't the last you'll hear of me yet!

Please, this is not a BF vs. CoD thread. Take it elsewhere.

Edit: Don't worry, it'll have nothing to do with BF vs COD

with watch dogs being delayed...................maybe, plus i haven't played a cod online since blackops on wii and i'm one of the few people who actually likes cod for the single player.

Mine will be better lol.

Have to agree with some of the users in here, Battlefield is definitely better than CoD and I would much rather have a TNE clan in that game, however, as Cubits said, EA made the decision easy for us. I will say that I don't think the TNE clan would be as good in BF4 as we are in CoD. BF4 is way more tactical and TNE is usually never sober enough for that lol. I think BF4 would create a more serious environment that wouldn't be as fun.

I'm tempted to get this to play with you lot, but I might get it on 360 to play with my friends. But my friends may not get it and buy Xbones or something. Or I may not get it at all! The only FPS on Wii I've played is Goldeneye and enjoyed that, played some online too which was good. Well, we'll see...

This game seems easier on the eyes. You might be surprised at how nice it looks on U.

Yep, they have to learn to aim that scope again.

It should be! This game is a team effort by no less than four developers with special love for Wii U controls! Treyarch made a pillar for U.

the biggest thing I want out of this game is a fov wider that 65°. console cod is like playing with blinders on.

They're both GOAT tier.

Also, one isn't coming to Wii U. This is for the Wii U.

Hence why I'm not sure why I'm in here.

[hr]On another note, how long will it take before everybody stops beating that forced meme?

Call of Duty Ghosts Launch Trailer > Gravity's launch trailer

Im definitely buying Ghost on day one, but I wont be at the midnight release or anything. I will pick it up during my lunch hour and then be on later that evening. How do you guys think Ghost is going to do on Wii U? Think we will have more a 1000 people online day one?

Depends on it being better than black ops.Which has about 2000 people

Black Ops on the Wii looks like it's finally winding down for me, it was impossible to get enough Australians online yesterday to have a proper match. I mean, it's still more playable with a crap ping than BO2 is, but i can't shut down a portion of Array with a rifle with two bars, and that makes me a sad panda. I need to write an obituary for that game before Ghosts comes out.

Yeah, for sure. What we liked, what we didn't. What IW is dropping or carrying over.

I really like that Recon is coming back, that was the only thing i liked about MW3.

We could get together in the Skype chat, or the writer's kitchen, or something. I've just bashed out the first draft of this retrospective on BO1, and it leads into a "hopes and dreams, sunshine and puppies" article about Ghosts.

Then i'll get raped by a machine pistol or something.

I miss my old Recon/Shotgun setup. Stun the room or the other side of a fence, and rush in with their exact location in mind. THAT SAID: I still want more "Wide open" maps.

There was a pervasive "swiss cheese" level design ethos to MW3 and BO2 which i find incredibly boring, and which resulted in the "need" for quick-scoping to make sniper rifles viable. Every map has interrupted sight lines and eight ways into every room. Couple that with the ridiculous spawning proximity and all of the match flow goes out the window.

Array is big, has vast open areas with verticality to provide suppression, yet also has plenty of CQC opportunities around the shipping containers and indoor areas. If a team digs in well they can hold a point, but it can be countered by smart play. That's what leads to the waves of movement around the map as teams get displaced. It even happens on Nuketown, so it's not about map size. You can run a shotgun through the middle of the map or clear the buildings, but you can also go assault rifles around the perimeter.

I was raised on tactical FPS, i followed CS from the very start (and greatly enjoyed the jailbreak and VIP modes), and did a LOT of time in the rainbow six series. I just want more tactical in my "dumb" shooter because out-playing the competition should be rewarded more than exploitation and randomness. I don't see how anyone could say Black Ops 1 was less fun than any other CoD, but it clearly had a higher skill ceiling and more breadth of gameplay situations. It's like comparing chess to hungry-hungry hippos.

I personally think CoD4's maps blew BO's out of the water.

I think BO had much better gameplay balance, which level design is secondary to.

Also four snow maps is better than one snow map.

Black Ops did have very good game mechanics, but they felt pointless in the face of the cramped maps.
