If only the otheir half put in this much effort...

[Dr. Mackeroth]

No. We need carriers. Carriers able to pump out a freaking ton of interceptors. Like, 500 mini ships all simultaneously swarming your base, super fast but weak.

Anyone else hate that? Your turrets and units would shoot the drones, not the carriers, and then go about ruining your day.

What do you think I'm building?

1: blops is infinity better than MW3 and MoH;WF.
2: SC2 opening cinematic looked awesome and I want that as the real game, thank you very much.
3: FIFA13/12/11/10/9 is the same game. Why anybody would buy the next one I have no clue.
4: I love some new indie titles, so I'm happy with them taking over more and more. I mean, look at FTL. That's a great addictive game. Look at these new kickstarters. All great looking games. I'm excited.
5: WOW is dying and I am happy to see it and the P2P model die with it down a hole.

@ FIFA issue - Well no. Each game brought something new to the table (yea its all football but hey its like saying they are all shooters !), but that one was a cynical reskin (barely even a reskin)

FIFA is a game I hate, not because of the actual game, but because all I hear at school is
:::read following quotes in a retarded voice:::
"YEAH FIFA, I'LL KICK UR ASS AT FIFA BRAH"
"OMG OMG I SPENT LIKE £300 AND I FINALLY GOT MESSI ERMAGERD"
"HURR DURR FIFA"
::stop reading in retard voice:::

And I have to put up with that all bleeding day.
That and the game is boring,

Although that trailer is awesome, will the actual game be like that?

Well tell me about the great innovations in shooters - especially in CoD . The rules of the game remain the same - other things change. How you control the char, how the AI acts, things like action-cams and even graphic improvements. I agree that there is no as much room to grow here but it's not the same stuff all over.

Also your friends play FIFA all day prototype ? ppl play it from time to time but they don't talk about it all the time. People are more like "You're up for some LoL after school ? " (They love LoL - its a good game to play with friends when you are not flamed all the time by the retarded community) and also discuss big hits. Last one was AC3, the biggest seasonal hit was probably Skyrim (Man I felt so clever during that time couse I'm an old elder scrolls fan (well not ancient so I didn't have the pleasure to play daggerfall and arena but I'm there since Morrowind ))

[Prototype]

I never said they were my friends, just some morons who don't have a volume control, although not everyone is the same so just because one group of specifically loud people does that, most others do not.

There's everything wrong with blops2. Same broken gameplay, same outdated graphics, same awful plot line.

Also, this is the game's intro cutscene. The preview trailer was out a long time ago, and the expansion launches in March. I'm still waiting for Corsairs in the editor, though...

Last point: Activision/Blizzard is technically one company. They had a corporate merger, and the resulting company owns both the CoD franchise and WoW. It's also the highest traded stock in the video game industry, excluding Microsoft.

Look, I'm not going to go back and forth with you for the sake of not derailing your topic, but you clearly haven't played the game if you actually believe that.

Also, in the words of Tychus, "About damn time!"

Did it seriously take them 3 years for an expansion pack?

[Avenger_7]

An expansion pack with as much single player content as the game itself. And I have played blops2, for about half an hour when I decided never to play it again.

[Iv121]

The plot line is indeed not for everyone (I mean if you try to understand what's going on in with the numbers and the crazy Russians and all what you played so far was imagination and so on ) but some find psychological thrillers entertaining. At least it's not the BF3 single player (Oh god who designed that abomination). I guess DICE should thank god it's a multi-player title because it was one of the worst plot lines I have ever played through. The game just tried to copy blops with the psychological stuff and interrogation but failed hard. The combat was rather generic and had nothing interesting in it. Probably it's best part was the first mission where the game didn't try to be what it's not and just put you in a place of a true soldier as it should. The rest was painful.

I can understand SCII's development timeframe, it was a completely new engine and units to boot. But all HOTS does is add a few units to that and a new campaign. Most of the content would be reused.

I still think their whole 'we release the game in three parts for more content!' is a massive copout, just so consumers have to pay three times for the full title. Terran campaign in the original was terribly short, and largely linear. Maybe Activision is starting to influence Bliz...

[Keon]

The great thing is they give us a map editor. I wouldn't put it past the modders to have the HotS campaign out for WoL.

[Iv121]

BTW Tiel linearity is not a bad thing - it's not an RPG you can't just go anywhere like in Skyrim ... The limit allows them to deliver the story (in WoL it was quite good).

I know. But when it's obvious they're trying to pull off a 'choices' mechanic and it ends up linear as hell...well, can't really say good things about it xP

I enjoyed what few hours I got out of it, but everything new boiled down to 'do you do the extra missions or not and get upgrades'? I'd have liked to see a little more possible variation between playthroughs.
