Call of Duty: Black Ops

[My Lord]

Now thats a commercial.

Very cool. I like the Kobe, and Kimmel cameos. The chick doing some major league door kicking with sandals no less was pretty funny.

That's the best thing I've seen for a long time advertisement wise....FANTASTIC!

I love that Kimmel's RPG says "Proud Noob"!

Also, an update for you guys in case you missed it.

Toys R' US' Sunday advertisement showed that you get a free T-Shirt and a $20 GC with purchase! If you buy 2 games priced at $69 you get a $50.

My plan....buy two of them, hopefully nab 2 T-shirts and the $50 GC and then sell one on Ebay for close to $60 + shipping. The extra GC will help me with presents for my kids. BOOYAH!

CANNOT........FREAKIN'........WAIT.......UNTIL TUESDAY! So ready for a new Duty!

I like that commercial. One of the better video games ones I've seen.

The Modern Warfare 2 advert was immense

 

[farrrs]

I'm probably the only one here who... didn't like that commercial. Besides Kobie and Kimmel, everyone else seemed like total losers. An obese office girl kicking down a door, a balding hotel dude, the random falafel stand guy the end. I guess it's an attempt to advertise to the different demographics. But, to me, it just seems a bit too over-the-top and corney.

 

[The Josh]

Looked like they where selling it to normal folks with a few celebs to say we all play these games.

You got something against those types of people playing games?

Who do you think sits in theyre home playing this game for 9 hours a day, takes off work to get a game at a midnight release? Losers as you put it.

Video Games, they aren't just for sexy people anymore...

 

[The Josh]

Might be a bit rude to call them losers. They're just normal folks as I said. I've gone to a few midnight releases and honestly on the weekends just vegged out playing a game all day. I wouldn't call myself a loser.

No, the world is filled with "normal folks". But like I said, the entire ad just seemed to have a vibe of corneyness. Something similar was done for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, when Konami showed little kids and hyperactive Japanese girls playing the game (in an ad campaign called "Hamaru Gear" ).

 

[The Josh]

I thought it was corny but thats what I liked about it. Just showing that hey we all play this game. Have fun.

To tell you the truth Josh, I don't know what's worse: the "corn" or the false advertising. Playing COD online is anything but fun, if you're being constantly cursed out by 13 year olds. That's one of the reasons why a few of my friends and I opted to play Modern Warfare 2 amongst ourselves. I kinda feel sorry for the new folks who'll pick up COD expecting something fun.. only to find out what the online community's really about .

 

[The Josh]

I agree playing it online can be a real pain in the ass. Thats why I stopped playing MW2 all the bugs that folks used because they sucked to much to not too. I stay in a party even by myself on live to avoid the kid ****** bags that like to cuss all the times. Makes it at least somewhat fun.

PC.

Larger player matches and no stupid little kids, just turn off mics.

Lol...I do this every time the GF goes out with her friends. I'd rather order a pizza and play a game then go out to the bars.

Oh man, the bugs!! I remember that suicide bomber glitch from last year, it was so annoying. I hope that Black Ops will at least have a more bug-free experience, from the get-go.

I wish I could man. Unfortunately, my PC is ancient by today's standards... 2004 ancient . So, for now, I'm stuck with using the PSN.

I pre-ordered the game at Target but I want that shirt! lol, plus a 20$ GC? I'm in!

You guys do realize you CAN mute someone on LIVE and PSN right?? Or if you have to, put the mic down so you don't have to hear anyone.

~~The worst crap I've ever heard was during Halo 3 online. Every other thing someone said was "F-you" or "Stupid Ni$$r"

Robbers Nab Over 100 Copies of Black Ops

The Baltimore Sun reports two men armed with handguns stole four cases of Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops video game, cash, and gaming systems from a GameStop store at the Bel Air shopping center in Harford County, Md. late Saturday night.

The robbers made off with more than 100 copies of Black Ops, which is set to go on sale this Tuesday. The local sheriff's office is asking residents to contact them if they come across early copies of the game.

Same. I'm just not a bar person really.

Oh man, the bugs!! I remember that suicide bomber glitch from last year, it was so annoying. I hope that Black Ops will at least have a more bug-free experience, from the get-go.

Thats what ran me off. Just the bugs took all the fun out of it. I mean I did really well but it was always super annoying getting killed by folks way off the reservation.

Yeah, but its easier to just put myself in a party.
