You mean Counter-Strike/Counter-Strike: Source, surely?

Never played either of those, but Halo has 2 levels of zoom also...

 

[m4rkie23]

Never played CS......OMG

 

[JJ!]

Think the hardened edition looks like a good buy as want the extra maps!!!

 

[Malachi]

Lmao, my thoughts exactly.

Any PC users know if it will be using VAC or Punkbuster?

Lol

 

[Spiezels]

Played CS on my mates gaming PC a few times... Hated it, prefer consoles... Deal with it.

Have to agree with the Heretic. Bobbins, IMO.

 

[Malachi]

CS was released on Xbox too iirc. Not your typical press forward + shoot fps.

VAC is what i have heard, not 100% sure. Been playing FPS on PC for a few years, with the crap that we got last year for MW2 i'm not buying another CoD title on PC again. Just got a 360 for BO.

 

[Malachi]

Balls. As much as I hate Punkbuster, it actually works compared to VAC.

been watching that jungle video and noticed that the sniper rifle, at one point, had at least two different levels of zoom which could be handy. Not seen that in any COD game before or battlefield game for that matter.. only once in "Sniper" for the xbox.

This is correct. With one of the sniper scopes you will have 3 levels of zoom availiable.

New unseen footage - looks awesome:

looks good, i was holding off on buying this to see what it was like, but i got it pre-ordered and got given a £35 voucher for game last night as a leaving present at work

 

[172boost]

I can't wait for this, especially after the disappointment of MOH.

 

[terryc101]

Cant see me getting this installment tbh, dont think i can go back to cod games after the teamwork based/destructability of battlefield bc2

Might rent it some time tho and see if it is an improvement on mw2 which was a step back after mw1 imo

tbh i think theres still allot of one man army on this game, i admit i havnt played allot of time on bc2 and when i have theres very little comunication and reviving and ammo supply. nothing can compare bfbc2 to bf2142 on team work nee way or any game i've played

Yeah thats true, you can get on many games where nobody is working as a team but when you get in a good squad and you all work well together its so rewarding i find. I probably will give black ops a go one weekend on rent to see if it draws me in like cod4 did, but mw2 put me off cod games with the cheating/quick-scoping/sonic sprinting etc.

Damn, was it good?!

 

[JJ!]

Damn... video has gone

Really should pre-order now, as think I will get the hardened edition!

 

[unofficialPete]

Maybe a MASSIVE can of worms but PC or PS3 edition?

I've just purchased a rather powerful PC and want to put it to the test & have picked up CS: Source after a few years out. That aside, I've played PS3 for years now but I'm not a massive gamer, more of a pop on now and then for multi player kinda guy.

hmmm decisions..

 

[BRUN]

soooooo tempted to pre order, but i cant make my mind up if the supermarkets will have another price war with this one

 

[m4rkie23]

I'm in exactly the same boat*

*chair**

**position.

Looky Here

And Here Hmmm > Quickscoping? Damn. Thought they were going to get rid of that?

And Here - Beware *shocking* quality

Video of zombies mode wad uploaded a couple hours ago.

http://vimeo.com/15940618

I'm not watching it nor am I wasting a KV just to play that beta for a couple hours

 

[Spiezels]

The zombies is still set in WWII?

That sucks.

 

[kev182cup]

Nearly exactly the same as WAW zombies. Only watched the first couple of minutes though.

 

[RoryW]

That sucks.

Apparently modern guns are in it too. So not sure if it's ww2 or modern. Probably bit of both

 

[.Ben.]

Isn't that a mod-community version? Looks just like WaW...

I swear that I saw a video where the new 'Dead Ops' (IIRC) was set in a hospital and didn't use Nazis?? Will go on the hunt now...

Video removed. Seems it was accurate:

Vimeo has removed or disabled access to the following material as a result of a third-party notification by Activision claiming that this material is infringing: Call of Duty: BlackOps Nazi Zombies

 

[.Ben.]

Video can still be found here - See it while it's live!

 

[Darren S]

I'll definitely be getting this as pretty much all COD campaigns have been great imo.

Just looked at pre ordering it. Feck paying £35 for it on the PC. Get stuffed. And the retail price on the consoles - £54.99?!?!?! Fecking ROFLCOPTER. I know people will end up getting it for much less, but come on guys - get realistic.

I'll wait until its been out for a few weeks and no doubt find loads of places flogging it for £24.99.

D.

A guy racked up a nice killstreak and then called in the chopper gunner. It's a nice Huey with a midi gun turret that you sit on, a bit like the chopper gunner in MW2 but it's not in thermal imaging.

 

[172boost]

Apparently modern guns are in it too. So not sure if it's ww2 or modern. Probably bit of both

It's a game based in the cold-war era so will contain guns from the 60/70/80's. It's NOT a modern game but it's definitely not WW2. The zombies in the game WILL be nazi zombies.

thats the thing though, MW2 was still £45 in the shops on console MONTHS after release, once all the price wars had ended

 

[172boost]

Morrisons had medal of honour cheap, can see them doing the same with Black Ops. If not ASDA or Sainsburys will do it.

 

[BRUN]

im hoping Morrisons as its closer, and i used to work there so i might be able get one of the nights lads to let me in early, therefore jumping the queue when the shutters come up

 

[H.Maxim]

I've got no doubt it'll be cheaper at the supermarkets, just depends how desperate you are to get hold of it. I went to Tesco at 8am for MW2 to get another copy to return as a preorder to see a queue of a couple of hundred people. Went to Morrisons a couple of days later and got it for the same price after the massive rush had died down.
