and I'm guessing there are many more sites. It's ridiculous. I even replaced my Blu ray drive thinking that it might have just been worn out, but nope. Black Ops 2 still froze and damaged my console. Every other game worked fine, but now I'm having to try a full default system restore to try and get it to read games again. This is with a brand spanking new Blu ray drive.

The worst part is how pathetic Activision support is. They have no idea what they're doing. For example, this is the reply I received after explaining the hard freeze problem to the, including the specs of my PS3, router, where I bought the game, BLES code, the lot. After waiting 10, yes, 10 days for a reply, I received this insightful message:

Regarding you're concern on you're PS3 please check if ever you got some friend request on you're PS3 please accept it or decline also if the freezing still continue please check you're port if it is all in the proper port I will provide you with the correct port for PS3.

How helpfull! :|

How is my router causing my PS3 to freeze up? Seriously.

They have no idea.

Also, Acti_support BLOCKED me on twitter for asking if they were looking into the problem! No foul language or accusations, just BAM! But they love replying to idiots crying about the small things.

I paid £60 for this. A bust PS3 and a shiny frisbee. Fantastic. So glad I didn't buy the season pass.

From what I've heard, if you go in store and 'buy' the season pass you basically get a £35 PSN top up voucher (I'm not sure abot xbox). If I were you I'd wait and see if it comes down in price, the DLC won't be released untill next year anyway. £41.99 for PS3, but only £32.99 for xbox, takes the mick.

Yup, this game is a huge disappointment for me.

First off, it keeps crashing my PS3. It made me replace my Blu ray drive it crashed that often. Sick of seeing the 'your storage system is corrupted' screen, restoring the system, just to play again and experience another crash. No response on twitter or from their customer support. They keep stating that my case has been 'resolved' when it clearly hasn't :evil:

I pay for good internet, 30MB download speed. Lag comp whoops my backside so bad It's downright disgusting. I'm not fussed about my K/D, but the amount of WTF deaths is unbelievable. When I do get to play I can literally see it drop each match. Why can I go from 27-7 or similar, to 3-14 or even on occasion 0-7? I'm not the best at this game but I'm not that bad!

Also, the announcer seems a bit behind. ''Lightning strike inbound''! Yup, I know. It came out of nowhere and blew me to pieces about 3 seconds before you bothered to mention it...

Worst thing is, my IP has told me it will be doubling my broadband speed soon. Oh joy!

Almost everyone is using the same guns (again). Smg's, Smg's everywhere! Same with UAV's, when I look up I usually spot about 3, then another two at a different part of the sky. So I take 2 down with my trusty launcher, getting killed in the process. Respawn, take aim, lock on, dead again. Respawn, take aim, lock on, fire just a split second before it takes off and leaves the map, die again. Respawn in front of enemy, die. Respawn, enemy runs round the corner, I fire first, lag comps screws me over, I die. Respaw, get hit by an enemy killstreak. Etc

EVERY GAME (near enough, I really wish I was exaggerating).

The spawn system sucks.

Zombies was a bit of a disappointment. It's still fun, but a bit, off. I don't like the fact that if one person leaves, that round is classed as your high round. The leaderboards are strange as it is and what is the deal with the zombie rank? Seems glitchy to me. The map is fresh, which is a good thing, but it seems to take too long to get about and difficult to get anything done. Although that could just be me. And getting the Avogadro(?) to spawn is almost as bad as the excavators on moon. Grief can be fun, but it seems to just go on forever when I play. Survival maps seem too small. I still enjoy it, but not as much as I thought I would.

Strike force missions were a pain, the AI is useless. Ended up rambo-ing all of them. I was also hoping that your actions in the campaign would have a bigger difference.

I pre-ordered and bought the hardened edition under the impression that it was the only way to get the exclusive zombies map. Now it's available with the season pass!?

Not to mention the season pass is £41.99 for PS3, and only £32.99 for xbox! WTF! That is just disgracefull Activision. Needless to say, I definitely will not be buying it.

Of course, I only suffer these if and when my game actually works...

:evil:

This might be classed as a spoiler, because

you only see this ending if you shoot him in the body and not the head, people may not have seen this ending

But I agree.

And now, my PS3 will not read any discs. I'm so angry I'm calm if that makes any sense. I'm lost for words. Let me know if anyone else has this problem.

I had absolutely no problems with any games before, and it's a relatively new console. I've only had one hard lock experience with it prior to playing black ops 2, and that was about 2 months ago. Had absolutely no problem with my Blu ray before, no weird noises, no stuttering, absolutely nothing. I am so unbelievably angry.

patch aint fixed jack

Indeed. Still the same for me. It actually crashed straight after installing the update. Then crashed loading the game up. Then crashed again after finishing one match. I believe I'm somewhere in the 50-60 crashes range.

Absolutely fuming :evil:

This is beyond a joke.

I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS GAME FREEZING MY FUCKING PS3! OVER 50 GODDAMN TIMES!!!

TREYARCH SORT THIS SHIT OUT!

CAPS LOCK RAGE!!!!!

SERIOUSLY, I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO PUNCH EVERY IDIOT WHO WORKED ON BLACK OPS 2 IN THE GODDAMN FACE. STOP CRASHING MY FUCKING PS3 YOU BASTARDS! GET THE DAMN PATCH OUT NOW! I DID NOT PAY £70 TO SCREW UP MY CONSOLE. YOU FUCKERS!.

Drunken rant over, but seriously, every time I play Tranzit/Multiplayer/Campaign it crashes. Wtf?

Not off topic, it's mainly zombies. Investing 2 or 3 hours just for it to crash?

PS. Sorry about my language, I am that pissed off :evil:

Funny... My Xbox hasn't froze once...

Way to add to the joy...

A patch has been submitted to Sony to fix the crashing issues.

Now take a deep breath.

Taking their sweet time about it :evil:

And sorry, had to rant.

I agree, bring her back!

And yes, the Nuketown EE song was very disappointing. What happened to all the good music? I haven't bothered trying to find the tranzit one because I heard it was dubstep.

Unfortunately, they switched the song from Skrillex's "I'mma Try It Out" to Carrion by Kevin Sherwood.

THANK THE GODS! It was bad enough I have to hear it in MP, I'm so glad they swapped it. I have nothing against dubstep or the people that enjoy it, but I personally don't feel that it should be in any way connected to zombies. But, to each their own.

I agree, bring her back!

I was saving my 115th post for a zombie thread, but I felt the urge to post here. I'm definitely pissed off. I only preordered for the preorder bonus. I only bought the hardened for Nuketown zombies. So wtf, I had to seriously scrimp and save for this, because money is so damn tight at the moment. GF's birthday, brothers birthday and then my sisters birthday and christmas coming up, and kids toys aren't cheap. Thank the gods I only have one.

To top it off, my codes don't work and the game keeps crashing my ps3. FFS.

I do enjoy the game, when it works, but I didn't pay that much for this broken POS. :evil:

I might (keyword: might) replay the game again before the 13th. I'm not really that excited for BO2. Also, was it just me, or was the achievement to win all the board games a real bitch? Also, since you got the platinum, how'd you steal from the convoy with out killing anyone?

To loot the convoy without killing them just use your fists, but try to avoid throwing them into trees and smashing their heads open etc. As long as they're still rolling about on the floor you should be O.K.

And I hated those board games :lol:

Got the game, and boy have I had alot of frusterating moments. Mostly because I want to go for 100% completion. Just started sequence 4, and the story is actually starting to begin now. There's a real twist at the end of sequence 3, hence the achievement "How d'ya like them apples?"

I was not expecting 'them apples'. Hell of a good twist. And the ending was quite twisty too. Would hate to spoil anything for anyone, so

DAMN, Juno! What the hell is the next game going to be like

Didn't see that coming!

Far too many bugs and glitches for a product that's been in development for 3 years in my opinion. It's still playable, and it's a hell of a good game, but some we're extremely irritating. Multiplayer is quite fun, although I couldn't play it for more than 2 or 3 hours at a time.

All in all, a fantastic game, but for anyone who might be interested in buying it either prepare for a few bugs or wait a few weeks for another patch.

Got the Platinum though :twisted:

Now what do I do with myself before the 13th?

I just found this trailer on my own because someone placed this thread in the wrong section. The trailer is about multiplayer and Zombies; has nothing to do with single player.

Hence my apology at the bottom of the original post... :oops:

Thank the Gods, I've managed to find a shop near me that's doing a midnight release!

Only 8.5 hours to go

Can't wait!

Quoted from the site:

This isn't exactly Earth-shattering stuff, but Captain Price voice actor Billy Murray (formerly Johnny Allen from Eastenders, and star of irritating compensation lawyer adverts) has blurted out the first rumblings of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.

No doubt, it'll be the next instalment in the Call of Duty series following Black Ops II, which is due to release in a couple of weeks, as per the established pattern of CoD releases. You can bet your life that it'lll be due in October/November time too.

“Yeah, on Monday I am off to meet Infinity Ward about the next game, Modern Warfare 4, I’m doing work on the sequel to Modern Warfare 3, it carries straight on and I only ever appear in the Modern Warfare games…” Murray said in an interview with This Is Xbox, according to a report from Gamersthirst.

So there you have it. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is a thing. Shocker. Next up, Black Ops II is out on November 13th.

I'll take it with a pinch of salt, and if it is true I still think I'll give it a miss after the mess mw3 was/is.

So, anyone surprised?

(not sure if this would be classed as a leak? It isn't official but it's classed as news? Sorry if it is)

Yup, had that a few times. My only advice is to damage the astro zombie so that it only needs one or two blasts to kill, just in case.

Hello there, I was the same. Lurked about since Black Ops came out, only signed up a few months ago.

Hope you have fun.

Well I haven't read most the comments, but the thing with AC (and I haven't played in a very long time, since II, I think)

But what's different with this one compared to others, I get the appeal, but has any thing really changed?

Graphics? (I'm guessing same ol')

Map size (Normally quite impressive)

What else….?

If you haven't played since the second game, there have been many improvements. Too many to list here, so you'd probably be better checking out a review or a few videos.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/news/news-78 ... -Done.html

If you're not too sure you should at least give it a rent, although I have heard that the beginning of the game is a bit slow it's definitely worth sticking with.

I love AC1,2 and BH.

But Revelations was very disapointing to me.

The story was boring. The new weapons were silly (grenades and the hookblade.) The City was "meh". And the gameplay didn't feel nice. (for me personaly)

I understand what you mean, but I disagree. The hookblade was a bit daft, as was the den defence, but I think bombs were an interesting addition. As was the master assassin missions. The thing I really liked, was when random characters tried to assassinate you. I also thought it was a nice ending to Ezio and Altair's stories.

The only thing I disliked about Revelations was that it was too short.

19 hours to go :D

I hope they'll have a few more before release. I can't remember how many mw3 had, but I remember it was more than one. Fingers crossed for a true zombies live action

Extremely hyped for this game. This trailer didn't increase the hype for me, but it did 'remind' me of how I felt when they started releasing info. If that makes sense(?)

Wow, are we the only two who like Assassin's Creed here? This can't be, it's one of the most anticipated games of the year.

Surprisingly, this school day wasn't hard to get through. I suspect the same for tomorrow, not much is going on. After that, hopefully my cousin can drive me to Gamestop...

Us assassins are all ways outnumbered

I'm quite surprised too, I expected quite a few people would be interested. Definitely more than two, but after all this is a all of duty Zombies forum. It's a damn shame really because it's such a great series.

Also, why can't all consoles, as well as all places, just get the game at the same time? I feel sorry for everyone else.

Agreed. I think all games should be released on the same day everywhere. Same goes for DLC. Quite... irritated that xbox gets the DLC early again but it is Activision after all :evil:

Seems like it's been removed by YouTube. Anyone know what happened, or where to watch it?

It got removed?

OH god it did!!

It was from the official CoD channel too! Hilarious!!

Well, that's weird.

Managed to find it in my history and watch it again, so I have no idea what's happened. I'll repost the youtube link just in case.

How odd

Awesome.

Did you enjoy it? Over the top? Or a copy of last years MW3 (but much better)?

Personally I thought it was a bit too similar to last years live action, but a lot better.

*Wasn't 100% sure where to stick this. Apologies if it's in the wrong section.

In all fairness, the trophies barely show anything. I did manage to find a good few spoiler free videos of just free running, exploration, a little bit of hunting. They've actually been decent time killers.

Lol, I suggest NOT replaying them. Or if you do, don't do everything 100% like I tend to do in replays. It's ony 2 days away, and then ACIII should keep you going till BO2

Yes, exactly. TWO whole days..., well, two and a bit. Why does the EU get games a day later?

Looking forward to seeing how they progress Desmonds story.
