Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I think I'm just gonna get the regular version and buy the zombie maps as dlc. I don't really want any of the other crap that comes with the hardened edition.

Yea same here. I think I'm one of the few who didn't like zombies in WaW. So I'm going to pass on this.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Do we know what engine/physics this game is using? Like 4 and 5 were pretty much the same engine, gameplay and physics...but 6 was tweaked significantly.

Did Treyarch build off the 4/5 engine or off of IW's 6?

I'm with you on this, zombies didn't do anything for me either. To each their own I guess.

I hope 4/5 ...because the point and click 6 really put me off.

I agree.

Signs point to it being 4/5 because the only reason 5 was like 4 was because Treyarch abandoned the 3 engine and went off 4 because it was so highly received. So it doesn't make sense that they would work off of 6 because they already had 5 to use. There is no start from scratch scenario like it was when they were building 5.

I can adjust for 6...but 4/5 is such a better COD experience.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I'm looking forward to this much more than I was MW2 and I am at 21 days played and counting with it.

Whats wrong with the MW2 engine? You can argue that you don't like the game balance and things like that, but what don't you like about the engine itself?

It may not be an actual engine issue..but 4/5 had recoil and most importantly..you would have to lead your fire on an enemy in the distance.

As mentioned by another, in 6, it is simply point and click regardless of distance.

This makes 6 hugely and fundamentally different than 4/5. I am hoping 7 is like 4/5...but even if it is like 6, I will still love it as Treyarch is going to remove the nonsense and balance the game better.

Yeah thats just the game mechanics, not the engine. I am fairly certain that Modern Warfare 2 is built off the COD4 engine.

BTW, I agree completely, COD4's weapon and core game mechanics are much better than MW2.

Less or more recoil is just a design decision. Look at a gun like the F2000, it has tons of recoil.
