Kill_All_Monkeys

Very happy to see DOA back, hate that I couldn't resist reading it but I don't think it ruins too much to be honest. Very interesting stuff.

I was skeptical at first when I found out this game was yet another future shooter, but I've actually enjoyed the BO campaigns so far. And this trailer really gives me a feeling that it will still be a true Black Ops story. I find it funny that they now fill the campaigns with somewhat known to well known celebrities too, I don't think they really need to, but then again Kevin Spacey was a leading reason as to why I ended up getting AW, so you know.

I would literally die if they ever released a Rictofen Pop figure. Is Brutus the only zombie one? I guess I'll have to wait for wave 2 for more zombie ones. I enjoyed Frank Woods throughout the Black Ops games so maybe I'll get him too.

I did like the variety in getting the Wonder Weapons in Origins, but upgrading them was horrible. I'd like Wonder Weapons to be done the way Mob of the Dead handled it. It was simplistic and an interesting idea. MotD was perfect, especially with the two different upgrade paths you could choose. And I'll admit I forgot about upgrading the staffs (I always picked the fire one too), so maybe obtaining them is similar but upgrading them obviously needs improvement. the staves though...smh. One of the biggest reasons I hate getting into an online match on Origins. People start arguing about staves, race to the shovels, and split up, all trying to find their own pieces instead of working together. Randomization resolves that, unless you have a bunch of people who are happy using any staff. I almost never played with randoms, I always had enough friends to get a good match going. From time to time I did go into random matches when I was bored to see if it really was that bad and it was so laughably bad that just vowed to never play with randoms on Origins.

Did you ever have a chance to check out that episode? I think I've asked you a couple times, but it's pretty mind-blowing. lol I would think so...and hope so. @Rissole25 D-: Not an Exo Zombies comparison... :-P How could you. LOL! I have not yet, I've been working almost every day and college has been somewhat rough this semester but I don't think I can really deny the connection at this point. Clear inspiration was drawn from this and it's amazing it was found out this quickly.

I liked the way the staffs were handled in Origins, and I wish more maps would make Wonder Weapons available like that, rather than randomly pulling them from the box. MotD is another good example of at least a different way to get the WW (Not the Jet Gun though, that sucked balls).

Zombie Pop figures?! OH MY GOD MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!

I would say it was on par with Famas. Actually...may be on par with Commando. Famas is pretty poor. And Commando had high recoil, low clip count, and medium damage. I used to like the Commando but didn't after realizing the Galil was way better, I knew the Commando was only worth it if getting it at the beginning of a match. The Type 25 was honestly just Famas 2.0, and thus garbage. I can respect that-to each his own. You probably know better, anyway. I'm just now getting back into BO2, and only out of obligation. You wouldn't be inclined to do the Richtofen easter eggs with Pinnaz and I this weekend, would you? If I was on Xbox I would most certainly be inclined to. Or if I even had a PS3 that was still able to connect online.

Sounds pretty fun to me, I'm really hoping that BO3 incorporates more fun and non serious game modes like they did with Grief and Turned. At least without the worry hanging over our heads about dropping rank if we do play them.

Does this mean he won't actually appear at all or literally just be shrouded in shadows the whole time? And I guess that's some good advice for solving the EE I suppose too?

I actually liked the FAL, don't know why but it felt ok being in zombies. The SMR would cause me to break a controller every time I used it. It's not even a good point builder. Yet it kept the box from being too reliable, which I liked. So you win some and you lose some I guess.

It's certainly bringing me back to the glory days of zombies, and it's making this wait for the new maps all the more frustrating. November can't get here soon enough!

Ewwwww I don't want character select, I want my story canon unlike Extinctions. Not even in a game mode that doesn't have any real connection to the ongoing story? Like Grief, Turned and Survival maps from BO2? Nope because I still have hope that they somewhat have storyline in them. But for maybe something else more related to something that was leaked, I wouldn't mind it. Fair enough.

I do believe you're right, we certainly won't be waking them up for nothing. I just believe the Origins crew, as all 4 of them are currently alive, will be the playable ones from this point forward. Also I would like to double down on my bet that there will be a gamemode in BO3 that incorporates character select somehow. Maybe a more robust Grief mode, maybe new ones, who knows. But it would be absolutely perfect if completing the EE for The Giant unlocks the O4 as selectable characters for some mode in zombies.

But then what would happen to the O3? To be honest they probably are the most likely candidates to fix this story since its their timeline that is being changed, the Origins group don't need to really do anything more after the Giant. I think the O3 will only serve as background characters like in CotD from this point on. It really seems like the Origins crew will be forefront and center now.

I would love for The Giant to have prototype wonder weapons that can be obtained through mini EE's around the map. Small stuff like the flytrap that award less efficient weapons than the DG2. Plus I would honestly be surprised if they didn't put the original DG2 in The Giant.

Yeah it amazes me that they put so much of that data into the beta, did they really think people wouldn't look into that?

Pretty sure they could, and did. Hence why a few people may want to cancel said preorders. While the Campaign being removed is not a huge deal breaker, you still lose the intrinsic value of the game (believe me, I wouldn't pay $60 for a missing mode even if I don't play it after one run-through).They learned last time what happens when you claim a promise but end up going back on it, hurting your credibility (I'm looking at you, Nuketown). Campaign is a big deal breaker. As much as people rant and rave about things like MP and Zombies, campaign is the heart of any COD game. They're a good way to introduce all the new mechanics for the game, it provides a different experience than the other two game modes, and I generally just have enjoyed some of them, especially the Black Op's storyline.

I've been looking into it a little more and Robert Picardo, who is said to be playing The Shadow Man, bears some resemblance to The Shadow as well. Which may mean we'll actually see the Shadow Man in person at some point too.

They're probably prepping for launch as there's always some connection issues the first week or so because of player overload. I would imagine there's a team (namely the zombies crew) also working on the first DLC now as well.

It would be mind blowing if they ever introduced a character select feature into zombies somehow and you could choose to play as the O4 or the NO4 or whomever else. That would be dope.

TWD bonus map in the future? But in all seriousness, I hope this is the case in the US as well because I always watch TWD live and it would be really cool to see some new codz footage that way.

Do you guys think we'll actually see Weasel again? He found a way to break the cycle, and MotD while an amazing map was quite separate from the ongoing story in BO2 and pretty much the rest of the maps as well. But I would love to see them tie it more directly to the larger story. Bringing Weasel back would be the perfect way to do so, and maybe explain how/why Rictofen has those blood vials.
