black ops 2 zombies preview is gonna be up in a few days.

Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare had a competitively played modification called Promod going strong for a few years.
Getting your ass handed to you on an unmodded public server or playing this modification, either public or in a closed group - there is no comparison. Knowing every glitch available with a controller is fun, playing with a mouse and keyboard is something else entirely.

Borderlands 2, assholes.

lately

Sleeping Dogs - not bad not terrific, does a sandbox game just fine

Torchlight 2 - fucking great

Guild Wars 2 - Really enjoying this when I can set up times with people

Hector - a somewhat vulgar pint and click adventure puzzler

The Walking Dead - not so much a game but cleverly designed interactive fiction

PC version of Dark Souls - it's incredibly difficult and that makes it fun. Consoles suck ass and it was retarded to port this game and basically force you to use a controller.

Ys Origin - JRPG with platforming elements

A Vally Without Wind - defies explanation

I'll pick up Borderlands 2 once I know it's not fucked up. There were a lot of issues in the first one like people duping items or just plan making their own overpowered shit. Not fun.

I'm not a huge borderlands guy, but it's a game I can play with the kid, so I'm there. Frankly, it's too fucking fast-paced and all over the place for me.

If you can arrange a game with several friends it can be loads of fun. And it's simple to the point that anyone can pick it up. If I ever am asked to show someone what an FPS is I use borderlands. Plus shot guns that shoot rockets are cool.

Borderlands 2 is fucking hard. Me and the kid must have died at least 16 times apiece in a very early mission. I fear what the rest of the game may bring.

black ops2 zombies trailer reveal

Zombie Modes
Treyarch revealed three modes during its preview event, detailing them in a presentation at the end of a day of multiplayer hands-on. One mode will be instantly recognizable to fans of other Treyarch Call of Duty games.

'Tranzit' adds scale to the original gametype, and acts as the primary mode for zombie players. Rather than be stuck in one location, players are free to explore a "big, giant, expansive world." Calling it "significantly bigger than anything [Treyarch has] ever created," Lamia promises players (playing solo or up to four-players co-op) can traverse on foot or via the bus featured in the zombies world premiere trailer above.

"Because it's open and because there are multiple locations in this world where you can play and where the infestation is, there's different strategies about how you can approach it," he adds. "It's a much bigger world with much more going on." Moving through the world in the bus has tactical advantages, such as speed; however, it isolates players and can become very difficult to escape from. Going it on foot "into the fog" – which players can do by themselves or as part of the group – also has its perks, but puts players in the middle of danger.

To aid in their survival, players can collection pieces of items from throughout the world, putting them together to create "buildables"; including weapons, tools and things to help open new areas of the world.
'Survival' has the "more classic zombies vibe," where zombie aggressors attack the player within a single area from the "expansive" Tranzit world. From its description, things work relatively the same as they have in the past: hole up, fortify your location and venture out to grab bonuses scattered throughout the environment when you find the right moment.

Survival areas are "carved out" of the Tranzit world and customized by Treyarch to act much like dedicated maps. Though Lamia wouldn't give an exact number, he promised players will have access to "multiple areas" in Survival that are designed to be played as a standalone section (solo or as a 4-player co-op experience). These areas feature the same gameplay zombie fans are used to, including magic items and 'Pack-a-Punch' machines.

'Grief' is a new mode, available for up to 8 players that takes the concept of Survival and adds a competitive twist. In this mode, two teams of four players are dropped within the zombie-infested Tranzit world and must outlive the opposing team.

"This is what I've called in the past '4z4,'" Lamia says, detailing a mode that breaks down to a simple descriptor of Humans vs. Humans vs. Zombies. "It's really humans versus zombies, because the zombies don't care what team you're on. They just want human flesh and brains."

In this mode, human players cannot kill each other; however, they can play with the world to put the opposing team in precarious situations – hence the name 'Grief.' The last human team standing wins the match.

Standard elements like blocking passages seem to be on the docket to make the other team's life harder, but Lamia says there are "new mechanics exclusive to this mode" that players can employ to grief the other team with. When pressed for details, Lamia wouldn't budge on what those elements are.

How the Multiplayer Engine Changes Things
In Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, the zombies mode has been built on the multiplayer engine. In the past, Treyarch has stated this decision allows the developer to do new things it was unable to do in previous iterations. But what does that mean?

Stat tracking: Zombie fans will now have "extensive stats" attached to their monster hunting sessions, much like multiplayer fans have in the competitive part of the game.
Leaderboards: Stat tracking transitions into leaderboards for each zombie mode and can be broken down in detailed ways, like ranking based on maps. As an example, Lamia says players could check rankings for Survival in one particular area. "That will have its own leaderboard," Lamia added, mentioning detailed breakdowns for the other modes as well. "A lot more leaderboards, a lot more stats."
Improved Matchmaking: Using the multiplayer system, the game will attempt to match players faster than it has in the past. Because stats are tracked, Lamia says, Treyarch "will do [its] best" to match players with similar skill in the zombies mode. Of course, players can jump in and play with friends or anyone of varied skill levels if they choose.
Custom Games: "Now we're going to let you create custom games of the modes I just talked about," Lamia says. Creating a custom zombie game, players can make a series of decisions including setting a starting round (with players given points at the beginning of the match that are relative to the round choice, so players can purchase weapons and items to help them survive), you can set challenges like 'Headshots Only' at the beginning of the match or at specific rounds, turn magic items off (no perk machines, no 'Pack-a-Punch,' no mystery boxes). Lamia says there will be a laundry list of tweaks players can make.

Zombie Basics
A few additional details we were able to squeeze out of Treyarch regarding Zombies.

The mode features four new playable characters, including a female survivor teased in promotional art for the game.
Because the mode has no established narrative, Treyarch won't tell us what era the they envision the survivors living in. The single-player mode in Black Ops 2 shifts between the 1980s and the year 2025, while multiplayer takes place exclusively in the near-future setting. While some weapons in the teaser trailer point to a future timeline, Lamia tells us that its date remains a mystery as it's part of the narrative "fans are creating for the mode."
Zombies only exists because of fan feedback. Treyarch loves the mode, but only continues to grow it because of fan demand.
There are more zombie types, including new "normal zombies" and new "special zombie" adversaries.
There's a lot revolving around the zombie gametype – and all modes, really – that Treyarch won't be revealing. The developer wants to keep some surprises for players when the game launches.
Lamia promises plenty of Easter Eggs hidden throughout the Tranzit environment.


conflicting reports now.one site says its coming out on the 13th(a day later than announced) and this one says the 18th of november.

I don't like the fact the Living Challenged are being stereotyped.

Yes, WHO is looking OUT for THEM?

If only they had a proper diet, like the FLOTUS thinks we all should have, while she's having bacon wrapped ice cream cones.

shes not a fat kid though.

FLOTUS? Not fat, but she far from skinny.

so anyone know if the nuketown maps will be available to dl if you dont pre order?i know jig said they most likely will but id like confirmation.if not then im going to pre order black ops 2.

Can People who play them tell me how Black ops is different from Modern warfare?

good question...i'm about to jump back in.
and we know the console versions suck but that's what i want to know about, nerds.

ive played demos of mw 2 and 3,and they suck shit compared to black ops.i dont know what it is exactly.campaign wise black ops just seems to play better and the ai doesnt have such a fucking hard on for you.the missions are more fun too.lou check out the zombies trailer on the other page.if youre getting back in i say pick up bo2 when it comes out next month.

thanks frank... i'll check it out.

you made the right choice lou.is that gonna be on ps3 or 360?i dont remember what you have.ill have to play with you if you got a ps3.

ps3 for now but I miss the Xbox. Not to be a dick but there's a certain element that inhabits the free ps3 network that I'd prefer to avoid. Plus I so do love the halo.

you can mute everyone in the lobby,so you dont have to hear the dick tasters and miscreants that buy headsets to talk shit to strangers while theyre home at school hours.

IGN just put up a video of the Black Ops multiplayer in action


Looks like the game is set a litle bit in the future, looks like the maps are bigger than MW3 ( i hope).

who killed pipe dreams post?. I swear that fucken kid puts the spaz in spetsnaz.

and yeah frank we can play as soon as I remember my ps3 handle. It's something to do with "I'llshitonurchest" but with 1s and zeros and 3s that I can't remember. fucken leet speak.

it should be already typed when you try to log on the psn.but if not im sure you can start a new one.you can even set them up for other countries.

I rolled xbox. I'll just start a new profile. I'm assuming user1 is taken so ill be in touch.

What happened to your Xbox?

Actual spastics play FPS games with controllers. This heresy looks as if robots have issues with their motors.

welcome back...



It wasn't my Xbox although I paid for it and it was traded for a guitar.

Just like a slave, if you pay for it it's yours.

but unlike slaves xboxs dont work reliably.

Dishonored is fucking amazing. FUCKING AMAZING. Bioshock meets Thief. I've never played a game where I succeed at something, and restart anyway just to do it differently. There are so many ways to kill/disable people in this game. I could spend hours just doing the same mission. Great story, beautiful environments, lots of optional exploration, and endless replayability. I'm going to be busy with this one for some time to come.

Do any of you XBox guys stream videos thru your machine? I'm having trouble figuring out what buttons on the controller do, and can't find any info on it. Should I just break down and get a separate remote control for running videos?

I do, when I get home I'll turn the system on and check. Holding the controller in my hands it's second nature but I can't think off the top of my head what does what.

black ops 2 grows nearer and nearer.

nuketown update for anyone picking up black ops 2.its going to be pre order exclusive.just read it on another site.i was kind of thinking this is what happened so i had already decided to pre order it.plus with the free amazon prime trial itll come to my door the day of release.chaka chaka

i loves the Amazon prime trial. Order, cancel, move on.

exactly.then repeat.

black ops 2 leaked earlier today and this creepy lil fucker in the pic got his hands on it.

black ops 2 leaked zombie footage



leaked map loadouts

depending on where you are, BO2 could be in any day from now. I have a couple of shops in AD with my number ready to give me the call when they receive shipment.

bought borderlands 2 on the strength of a couple of my friends recommendation. don't have enough time to play the fucker..

anyone get into the halo4?.

got the call from my guy this afternoon: he received 20 pieces of BO2 (normal and box versions). his pre-sale price discouraged me however, that plus the fact that I won't have time to play until the price goes down (post official release) anyways..

Max Payne 3 was excellent and a welcome stylistic deviation from other parts in the series.

The rest of the campaign of Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 simmered for months and was solid.

Alan Wake was nice until about half of the game, then it nearly got as disappointing as some trash horror flick. Its DLC and Alan Wake's American Nightmare are still untouched. Maybe or maybe never.

Call Of Duty Black Ops II appeared on the net cracked about a day before its official release and its campaign was solid. Several lame moments and mediocre voice acting by the people around its main cast.

just realized i can type in the nuketown 2025 code right now since the internet is up again.

how many endings are there for the campaign?i got the one where menedez survives then kills the olde soldier(woods or whoever the fuck).after that he goes to his sisters grave and lights himself on fire.also after the credits him and woods play with a band(avenged sevenfold im guessing if the ditched the black singer).

so i dled nuketown 2025.what gives i thought it was supposed to be a zombie level too?do you have to unlock more zombie shit by playing?also i hope the tranzit level isnt like the fucking moon level on the first black ops(ie everyone stays in the mud shooting zombies instead of teleporting to the moon.i only played one round of tranzit but my stupid teammates didnt bother getting on the bus when we got swarmed.

That seems to be about the ending I got also. It doesn't really matter. The story's functional, but easily forgettable.

Syndicate was okay.

I just started playing Far Cry 3 on PS3 and that game is TITS! Some reviewers have described it like Skyrim with guns, open world exploration and missions as a fps. Lots of random stuff too. I watched as some prates that were hunting me walked into a pack of dogs and they started fighting. Npcs driving on the roads can run you over. Really really liking the game.


Mclovin made it to the island too!

i loves me some high violence low mentality.

yup... that looks good cleetus. the mclovin eps weren't bad either.

It is fucking great guys, sometimes whilst creeping around I just watch the shit that goes on in the open world. The bad guys are patrolling and i am trying to figure out how to take them down and a tiger just stalks in and kills them all, they run around screaming and trying to shoot the tiger, it is hilarious. I haven't felt this good about this type of game since GTA 3. There are also a multiplayer(think COD) and coop ( tells a different story than the main story), but I haven't tried them yet.



Here is a video of a black man playing an early portion of the game
