In my opinion, G4 just lost it's credibility for me. I looked to G4 for honest, true-gaming, experience filled opinions, and these weren't them. All you told me is that you like the game because you can blow crap up. Honestly, the game looks awful. The storyline is a serious part of any game, and it looks to be a serious flaw in this particular title. If I wanted my fix of realistic future tech, I would play Ghost Recon because it can perform the same task, with a storyline. The graphics look grainy and awful. I'm not hating on you guys (G4 people in video), I'm just pointing out that year after year, Activision puts out wave after wave of mediocre at best Call of Duty content, and you are the reason why! "Shut up and take my money Treyarch!" As if that wasn't their plan from the beginning. Slap some crap together, put a Call of Duty stamp on the front, and charge 60 bucks for it. I for one am not buying Black Ops 2, and I will never buy another Call of Duty game until they prove themselves worthy. Treyarch and Activision aim for the lowest common denominator, which is you people out there who want nothing more out of a game than some cheap thrills and explosions, causing peer pressure to set in and get the rest of the gaming community to buy into it too. For the love of everything that is holy, please G4... look back to days of good games... like the original Modern Warfare... even MW2 wasn't bad... and since we are looking at sci-fi shooters now apparently, look at Halo 1-3 ... but please God... open your eyes and see the flaws that the mainstream has ignored all these years. I don't want horses if I can be flying a jet! And I don't want to fly a jet if I can send up a UAV to do the work for me! I don't even understand how anybody could see this as anything more than a way to make a quick buck. Finally, I leave you with 1 final point. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 was set in "modern day" or maybe a little in the future. So the year is 2012.... and the Eiffel Tower has been knocked down due to World War 3. 13 Years later in 2025... the same Eiffel Tower is knocked down, AGAIN! Either Activision really hates France, or Treyarch was too lazy to animate a new scene, so they stole the scene of the tower collapsing from MW3. "Hey! Horses are new to the series!" Haha. What a funny JOKE! I am willing to bet any amount of money that it is just another crappy ride and shoot sequence that they have in every CoD game. MW2, riding snowmobiles and shooting. BO, riding motorcycles and shooting. BO2, riding horses... and shooting. But it's all good, as long one of the horses explodes, right guys? Honestly... open your eyes. You are being suckered into buying games that aren't even fun. Sure, CoD games are always good the first time you play it... but after a couple of days.. you get bored. You know why that is folks? BECAUSE YOU'VE PLAYED IT BEFORE! PRECISELY A YEAR BEFORE... AND THE YEAR BEFORE THAT, AND THE YEAR BEFORE THAT! But seriously, Treyarch, Activison, and even Infinity Ward are going to continue to trample all over us, and wipe their rears with our hard earned cash until we stop giving into peer pressure, and stop buying their games just because everyone else is. PS, don't delete this comment again! You know that it is true, and it upsets you so you delete it, if your gonna delete anything, delete the video!

I dont agree with that. I loved the story in black ops. A very interesting take on the Cold War Era. Not forgettable at all, but I guess I am the only one

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I like the Treyarch CODs more the IW ones. All of my friends think I'm crazy because of it, but while Treyarch and IW are both great companies who both make great games, I have to go with Treyarch as my favorite. Treyarch CODs don't frustrate me as much as IW's, and I tend to have more fun playing Treyarch's products. For example, MW3 is a good game and all, but it lacks that spark that, for me, made Black Ops so amazing IMO. In fact, I'm thinking of going back to Black Ops and leave MW3 by the curb. I like how Black Ops 2 is going to take place in the future. From what I've heard so far, BO2 looks to give the Call of Duty brand the innovation it needs right now. I'm betting the next IW Call of Duty is just going to be a sequle to MW, and will essentally be the same as MW3 with slightly worse graphics than BO2 and no horses. :)

Is it just me or did this plot come out in the 80's called terminator where the machines fight back wow way to use your brain cod that must of be a hard plot to come up with they only made four movies with the same idea now all you need is a device that produces the right frequency and you can shut all the machines down with out firing a shot, what a waste looks like my money is going to the new medal of honor

Black Ops 2. Showcasing the amazing tech and futuristic excitement of the distant, far-flung world of..........13 years from now?

Huh. I thought everyone got their first exposure to this game back in 04 or 06. It's just another remake of the same old crap. The word 'new' doesn't belong in the same sentence as CoD.
