Call of Duty : Black Ops Discussion thread

[Psychosocial]

So who else is pumped for 9th November? Discuss this game here. I personally wouldn't mind it to be similar to Modern Warfare (I mean the gameplay mechanics, not the time line) with a few tweaks, I just want it to be longer.

[Zangetsu]

Oh yeah...have seen the gameplay demo on xbox360....

one word: Awesome game......matches up with crysis in graphics....

[vamsi_krishna]

You asked the only one you don't get. Don't expect it to be longer than 6-7 hours

[Psychosocial]

That's the problem with CoD games. Otherwise they are awesome.

The gameplay is damn awesome....i hope this game lasts at least 15 hrs as compare to the last part which i finished in 6.30 hrs.Too short!!!

[vamsi_krishna]

15 hours? Even Action adventure games don't last that longer. Industry standard for a FPS game is somewhere between 8 and 9 hours. We would be extremely lucky if we manage to get 9 hours of campaign

[himadri_sm]

i am sooooo eagerly waiting for this....CoD has always been my favourite millitary shooter.Hope this one lives upto its predecessors..

its not prince of persia warrior within....
if they made it to 15hrs...then the game size will drastically increase to
20~25GB....then they have to lauch it either in blu-ray or 3* dual layer DVDs...

The gameplay time does not determine the size of the game. If such was the case, then Borderlands & Fallout 3 should have been more than 1 Blu-Ray.

[vamsi_krishna]

More time is just about scripting, voice work, i think

gameplay time in the sense....more levels...& not the time taken 2 complete
if dats the case then i will only move the character as toggle walk & not run & then lets c how long it takes 2 finish the level............

I'm afraid, I don't follow. Do you mean more the number of levels, more the game size? You spoke about 15 hours game time drastically increasing the game size. What part didn't I understand?

The game size varies depending on the amount of content the game contains, which could mean a lot of factors like audio quality, video bit-rate (cut-scenes), higher resolution data, texture data, character/weapon/environment models, multiple languages etc.

@karanth85 :- Did it ever occur to you that Warrior Within being a 15hr game comes in 3 CDs or a single DVD while Call of Duty MW being a 6hr game requires a Dual Layer DVD ?

i was getting 2 this part only....

& there was one hack&slash game of 7DVDs....i dnt knw which

[NVIDIAGeek]

Three words: Same ol' sh*te. I'm bored of the generic run-n-gun. I want action! Like BC2. With tanks, helis, chaos all over!

I will "get" it, just like MoH.

[vamsi_krishna]

MOH was decent. But if i have to make a choice between MW2, MOH. I will go with MW2 any day. I think you should reconsider thinking, geek

[vamsi_krishna]

And the game length and size will not always be directly proportional or Inversely. It depends upon the level design. One may design only few levels/maps/stages and can implement a game of 30hours at the same locations by just adding modifiers, small effects to those levels. Others might just create numerous, stages, levels and may force us to play a 10 hour game in it.. by increasing the phase.

[Psychosocial]

I personally stopped playing BFBC2 after the first 3 levels and on the other hand have completed the first MW about 6 times and MW2 3 times. And have spent hours playing MW MP. So it all boils down to choices. Am very excited for this game.

[dinjo_jo]

Hopefully this time the game would have longer SP Campaign.

[NVIDIAGeek]

Erm... I was talkin' 'bout MP. The SP, I still didn't complete MW2's story. It was just the same as BC2. That snowy level and the Brazilian level was great. Everything was too borin'.

[vamsi_krishna]

same as BC2? MW2 came first, IIRC

[Psychosocial]

BFBC2 had a sucky campaign (MY OPINION) but MW and MW2 had fantastic SPs. Only short. Too short.

If you are so "bored" of the game, why bother "getting" it?

[ico]

Ignore him.

[ctrl_alt_del]

Problem is, then I will have to ignore many, many people in the Gamerz section.

So many people are not only pirating the game, but discussing and dissing a game and acting all indignant as if they lost good money on the game.

It is cringe-worthy when someone on the forum nonchalantly says something like, "I am a BIG fan of the series... I will surely download it when the next one comes out!" or "I am super excited about getting the game....the download will be done in a few hours". Sheesh!
