@FlamingTP First of All. Even before CoD 4, I was playing Finest Hour & Big Red One. Hell, I still have Game Pro Magazines stored away in my closet adverting Finest Hour. So yes, I was a fan before all the Hype, Press & Media of CoD4. But as far as BF being better, you can't even compare or put either game above one another. BF is more "REAL" in a sense. And CoD is more Flashy/Arcady. I have played bf before, like I said. BC Series and its great. But BF is more of a wasteland of war essentially. Meaning it forces people to play differently & with vehicles it adds depth. But if you know anything about most of today's generation. Most in the gaming community especially CoD it's kids. And because of this its widely played. BF is more for people who Strategize. Call of Duty will forever have the biggest fanbase due to it being very easy to pick up and play. It will alway's outsell any game due to listed above. I myself can say CoD is an overall better experience. More of an Adreline Rush.

Granted the community does have it's scrubs. The game is fast paced and motivating in one. BF doesn't really have that type of affect on me except for Squad Rush. All in all, I'm sure BF in due time will go the CoD route as all games have done. Hell, even the Goldeneye 007 remake wen't CoD style. It's only a matter of time bro. CoD makes money doing what it's doing, and if people hate on it's success chances are it's doing something right to create that kind of Controversy.

Anyway, Happy May 1st, CoD enthusiast! Today is our day! Can't wait.

Reveal today. I am looking forward to this one.

*trailer*

Well... how is this a sequel to Black Ops?

I mean how?

I did find it looked pretty cool though. But as a Terminator: Salvation tie in or something like that.

Watched the reveal. My thoughts:

1. Holy S*#% Frank Woods is still alive!? He's pushing 85!

2. It's the 1st futuristic COD, yet it's the first time we ride horseback?

3. Walking Tanks in COD? Awesome

4. Refer to number one

Overall I think it looks pretty cool. A futuristic COD looks neat. Can't wait to see/hear more.

Surprised(kinda) to see Woods alive
This actually looks interesting to be honest

I take it back. After seeing the trailer, I am actually interested. It's a new idea. A fresh start. I may pick this up in the hopes that Treyarch saved the Franchise from becoming the next Madden.

I like it alot. It's time for a new setting for COD and this is the way to go. I'm reading around some other forums and some people are calling this COD: Halo... seriously? LOL did you see aliens anywhere? spaceships?

This is actual army tech that is used today and weapons being built for tomorrow. Soon enough in the real world, most weapons will be machine controlled by man.

BO2 will be a more realistic setting than say GR future soldier. I'll be picking that one up as well so it should be interesting to see both franchises handling the real future of warfare in videogames.

Regardless of what people say, Treyarch is the only thing keeping the CoD franchise fresh with new innovations and story ideas. The fact that this game is also going to have major choices that will decide the outcome of the story itself in a majority of the missions is absolutely amazing. Plus we are going back to the 80's to see the outcome of the first Black Ops.

This actually looks good, in fact it looks so good it may actually hurt COD sales since some people just want more of the same.

If the 80's has that much futuristic shit, then hitler is the king of Australia. WUT.

I've never bought a call of duty with my own money, but I know it'll eventually get into my possession since my dumbass brother think EVERY new call of duty is better than the previous one. He buys the game, then screams at it not understanding why this and why that blah blah blah.

Fine by me. Less arrogant fools that way.

watched the trailer. it looks interesting, but it will suck given the year to make it issue.

did no one learn from midway's demise?

i just watched the trailer. holy CRAPP!!!!!! this games tight i never thought CoD would make a game that dosent have any thing to do with nazis. i mean they were in black ops too.

i loved black ops for its great campaign i mean it wasnt all military. my favorite leves are the jail break, the level where your jumpen off roof tops and out windows like the matrix, and the last level where you blow up a ship an go inside it. any way

this new one is going to be awesome just imagin multiplayer futuristic guns and calling air strikes from your arm. mabey laserguns and equipment that looks like its from tron ooh

Black OPS 2 will be a success. Same type of crowd hated on MKvsDCU. Then it sold over a Million Copies. The haters are laughable. Chances are they secretly have it pre-ordered at their nearest gamestop.

So supposedly now after the trailer was released, BO2 has more pre-orders on day one than MW3, at Gamestop. I don't get my games from there anymore, instead I get them from either newegg or amazon.

I just want to know about Zombie mode. I wonder if the old characters will still be there because of the events of the Moon Easter Egg. They all swore revenge, so I guess we will see.

It's possible. But with the atmosphere destroyed, Richtofen could only control zombies on the moon. So if Tank, Nikolai, Takeo, and Samantha were to return to Earth, it makes me wonder if there would be any zombies left.

But I hope they use those guys again. They had the best one-liners and best interactions with each other.

I went out and pre-ordered today. Got my poster. Interested to see what the last 2 waves are for the pre-order bonuses.

just like the ponies, the positive buzz surrounding this game has me interested......I'll try it when I can, but I refuse to buy it off of good vibes alone. I need proof.

Check that out bro. Tell me wut you think.

The campaign is sounding pretty good for a COD game. This most likely confirms Treyarch as my favorite COD developer company.

My Call of Duty, My Call of Duty! Aaah ah aah ah.

My Call of Duty. I used to wonder what 2 clips could be.
My Call of Duty. Until you all fell by my smg.....

Can someone update me on the new zombie maps storyline? Like the moon zombie storyline?

Whoever decided to put the words from a Call of Duty game with Metal Gear...

Derserves to get their head severed and then shat down their throat.

Here you go, redman.

Zombies storyline - From First Strike Map Pack (Ascension) to Rezurrection Map Pack (Moon)

Maps: Ascension, Call of the Dead, Shangri-La, Moon.

Taken from the Call of Duty Wiki. (Yeah, yeah, but at least the page for the Zombies Storyline is good and not vandalized.)

----------
While the events of Ascension are occurring in Russia, the events of "Five" are also unfolding in the Pentagon. A piece of Intel reveals that all Wunderwaffe materials were to be moved to American-controlled installations. As a mainframe is visible behind one of the windows in "Five", it is apparent that it was moved there as per this order. While John F. Kennedy, Robert McNamara, Fidel Castro, and Richard Nixon are negotiating, zombies break into the Pentagon with only the four of them left to fight them. While fighting, they call Dempsey, Takeo, Nikolai, and Richtofen using three red telephones spread across the Pentagon. Their calls show that they're running out of ammo and will soon be defeated.

As they continue fighting, the three super-soldier test subjects slowly regain their memories. Takeo is the first to remember, and remarks to himself that some day when the group is finished fighting zombies Richtofen will get what he deserves. He also shows his observations of the other two. He believes Nikolai drinks vodka because he wishes to forget the past and can't function when he remembers it, perhaps meaning Nikolai is beyond hope. Tank, on the other hand, is slowly making progress, as he remembers that he'd seen Richtofen before the fight at Shi No Numa. Takeo notes his shifting memories and believes Tank is finally remembering what Richtofen did to him.

Sometime in the present, George A. Romero stumbled upon Group 935's research while making a WWII film. He and the cast took a ship out to an abandoned lab in Siberia. After he and the ship's crew were zombified, only the cast, made up of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Robert Englund, Danny Trejo, and Michael Rooker, remained. This set the stage for Call of the Dead. After the Kassimir Mechanism was completed in Ascension, it overloaded the teleporter and sent the original characters to a Group 935 facility in Siberia, where they were trapped behind a locked door. The celebrities then proceeded to help them escape to Paradise. Richtofen then asked the celebrities to help him obtain the Golden Rod, which they did. Richtofen thanks the group by giving them the DG-2 to help them fight the zombies. In reality, the group could've escaped after the security system was disabled. It is unknown what became of the celebrities after helping the group escape.

Shangri-La, however, does not live up to its name, as its inhabitants have all been zombified before the group's arrival. Richtofen now states that this the last step to controlling the world before he is teleported there. The temple houses a mining facility filled with Element 115, explaining the inhabitants' zombification.

Prior to the group's arrival to Shangri-La, two explorers, Brock and Gary went on an expedition to prove their theories on Argatha. Brock later figures out that the temple wasn't built by an ancient civilization, but by people in the modern era interpreting it. After investigating the temple, the pair accidentally activated the temple's time travel and died in the resulting Zombie attack. The group travels back in time and helps the pair survive. The pair's changing fate is illustrated by the radio that changes message and location as the group helps them. When the group finally create the Focusing Stone, it lands on an altar with Richtofen's name on it, meaning the temple was in fact another Group 935 facility and explaining Richtofen's knowledge of its location. The two explorers are then sent back to the moment they discovered the temple, indicating that they're stuck in a never-ending loop.

Now in possession of both the Golden Rod and the Focusing Stone, Richtofen believes he can now control the zombies. The group then travels to Area 51 so they can get to the moon via a teleporter to a top-secret Moon facility named Griffin Station. When the group reaches Area-51, it is already overrun. Due to the Element 115 on the moon, astronauts and scientists sent there have been zombified before the group's arrival. The people killed by Groph and Schuster contributed even more to the zombie horde.

Richtofen then has the group complete the M.P.D. When the device is completed, it opens up to reveal Samantha Maxis suspended in the air. As it turns out, the device acts like a prison and keeps her cryogenically frozen so she can be used to control the zombies. Richtofen goes to a terminal to power up the Golden Rod (or V Device) and the Focusing Stone, which he fuses together. However, he encounters Dr. Maxis inside the terminal, who tries to stop him. Richtofen switches souls with Samantha to gain control of the zombies. Richtofen finally thinks everything has gone his way, until Takeo, Tank, and Nikolai decide to stop him. Dr. Maxis, sensing Richtofen's betrayal, prepared a backup plan in case Richtofen got this far. The group then fires the missiles located on the Moon, which destroys the Earth's atmosphere. Richtofen is now only in control of the zombies on the moon, greatly lessening the damage he could cause.
