    To be honest I was hating on this game for a long time thinking it would just be another rehash like they have been ever since World at war, however to my surprise this one feels like it could be a revival of the Call of Duty franchise, although it is a bit of a step, it actually feels like a new game and all the changes (Although they are very subtle to some degree) have actually a very good impact on the feel of the game and how well it plays. I am a bit picky when it comes to new games that look like they aren't very different, however this re design is very much note worthy.

    "Stop excreting these rectangular turds" I snorted. I was not expecting that. Also I love the "Rehash: The Game" one.

    What, no "gayarch" comments?

    "I give it one star for being the number one best game ever" was so ridiculous it's hilarious.

  • Grif - November 16, 2012 8:16 a.m.

    Sounds like something Duke Lombardi would say.

    Good lord some of you people are oblivious. It's supposed to be funny, you click the article for laughs. Do you want the gamesradar staff to post a series of logical counterpoints to every 'worst graffix ever, 60 dolalr map pack -5 stars!' review?

  • angelusdlion - November 16, 2012 3:26 p.m.

    No, I actually want them to do stories tat are legitimate to my interests not comedy fluff. But because this is gamesrader I'll have to put up with the "Humor."

    Dude, I'm going to sue you for being unable to spell. Seriously.

  • angelusdlion - November 16, 2012 6:26 p.m.

    have an internet or a bajillion, you diserve them.

  • thatnerdguy1 - November 18, 2012 6:39 p.m.

    Think this is bad? You should see his work on IGN.

    Black ops 2 just hit the bail on the coffin for the call of duty series for me. I was really looking forward to something new, but unfortunately I got something for the noobs and the campers (seriously? A TARGET FINDER sight? Now my 4 year old cousin can be good) this game just makes me sad because I didn't think it was possible to make call of duty genuinely straight up bad. Granted it was the same every year, but it was something I enjoyed playing online with friends. I actually got off this game and got back on MW3

  • SpiritTemple - November 16, 2012 2:29 a.m.

    I love how you claim to hate MW3 yet than state you're going back to MW3. I bet you've spent over 100 hours in it's multiplayer, yeah you sure hate it.

  • Dmastaj187 - November 16, 2012 11:55 p.m.

    Damn straight. I said I hate mw3 yet I have to go back to it because black ops 2 is so bad. Learn to read before you make a snobbish remark.

  • Dmastaj187 - November 16, 2012 11:58 p.m.

    Going back to mw3 because I don't have the patient to put 4-5 bullets into a guy and still not have him drop. At least in mw3 if I put 2-3 into a guy he was down, not this crappy game. And to rebuke your ignorant comment, I have 3 days played on mw3. HMD

  • SpiritTemple - November 20, 2012 5:04 a.m.

    If you hated MW3 than you wouldn't be playing MW3, your just contradicting yourself like all these "COD haters". Noob.

  • Dmastaj187 - November 16, 2012 12:53 a.m.

    Black OPS 2 online is terrible. The campaign is awesome and zombies is pretty good too. The online though is the reason why most people buy this game, and since the online is so bad, obviously people are going to rage and they have the right to seeing as how they payed 65$ for unfinished multiplayer. The maps are mostly camper friendly and the guns are underpowered with assault rifles taking 3 to 4 hit markers to kill now, so you can imagine submachine guns and how useless they are. What I fail to grasp is why lower the damage of assault rifles and other weapons but keep snipers at one hit kills. It's like they endorse people who camp. I hated mw3 but after playing black ops 2 online I can't help but want mw3 guns back :,(

    And why should we place as much trust in professional reviews over butt hurt reviews. Every large gaming review site shares some bias and plays ball to appeal to certain gaming companies that have major worldwide releases. They fluff up all the positives and sympathize with the negative to the point it's just user specific. It's part of the game now and the politics gamers have to deal with. I doubt any professional reviewers will give this anything less than a 9 because they get pressured and practically bribed in many ways with job security, early access, free swag, etc. Then there's the sympathy points for charities like the Call of Duty Endowment. Ultimately if you say you hate this game or any popular franchise these days, everyone makes you feel unpatriotic like you are against America and some sort of monstrous bigot. You guys are just enablers, telling kids to eat Mt Dew flavored Doritos, who's the monster now?

    What you are saying is that these games can't be good even though professionals reviewers give them a high score? Did it ever cross your mind some people may like the game? Did it ever cross your mind that all of that stuff they're exposed to is also a marketing test to see if their consumers are happy with their product? And don't say "Well their consumers aren't happy with their product." We both know that is bullshit, their consumers are happy with it, they bought it in massive numbers and people who talk about franchise fatigue shouldn't be buying it unless they are massive hypocrites. The reality is people are upset that Treyarch and Activision have found a niche they may never need to grow out of, that they don't have to try to appeal to a wider audience. Because the mode of people has become "I don't like it so no one should" and I'm not referring to just you, I'm referring to all of us, including me. We have become so absorbed into the tools of narcissism, that we now think that we are all special snowflakes, who are all important in the world. The reality is none of the snowflakes give a shit about each other's individuality. So you all can cry about how gaming is dying or why there are so many "insert internet buzzword here" playing games now, but the sad truth is that game companies are moving on, like the media, like Star Wars, like politics, to the new generation. Because this one has already been used up and no longer wants to pay for their "shit" anymore, but those kids do. And they will. Get used to being old.
