Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 set in the FUTURE - Site goes live, confirms release date, '21st Century Cold War' setting

First of all, I need to say that I'm one of those CoD haters. So I'm probably extremely biased... That being said, from looking at this trailer I think it looks awful. Graphics looked like 3 or 4 years old and I usually don't care about graphics but for a multi billion dollar franchise I think its unacceptable.

Also, IMO this thread is filled with CoD fans trying to convince ppl (and themselves?) that the fact that they are trowing 60$ of their hard earned money to activision each and every single year isn't a waste when their is so many great games of extremely high quality and allot of fun available on the market. (which allot of them sadly go under everyone's radar *cough*Rayman*cough*) Believe me, I was just like you when I was playing World of Warcraft (Also owned by Activision, what a coincidence :P). When I was playing wow, allot of friends and family members thought I was stupid for giving them 20$ every months for years (and now I realize I was indeed extremely stupid). But I tried to justify myself by saying stuffs like ''they constantly work on the game... patches make the game always new, their is new dungeons, their is new battlegrounds, they change the gameplay, keep things balanced so the game is always fresh...'' etc... This is extremely familiar to CoD fans today trying to justify letting themselves getting milked with ''they are adding new maps, they are adding new guns blahblahblah...'' So yes, I used to be like you and I know how it feels to have everyone against you and constantly having to justify yourself, but you will all realize one day or a other like I did that if you have to constantly justify yourself to everyone, the odds are that you are simply fooling yourself. You will probably wake up one day and see a other CoD revealed while feeling absolutely no interest because you realized that you got bored out of your last CoD unusually faster than previous titles and you feel like it will be the same with the next one making it not worth it (buy new title for 60$, feel a sense of freshness for a week than get bored once again). That day you will probably look back and realize how stupid you were for spending 180$, 240$ or 300$ on 5 different CoD titles wondering what you could have possibly have done with all that money if you stopped at 1 or 2. That's how I felt when they revealed Mist of Pandaria (next wow expansion), I had no interest for it, I stopped playing wow like 10 months ago, and now I wish I could go back and tell that dumb ass kid I used to be when I started playing 5 years ago to not waste all these hundreds of dollars on all these subscription fees and expansions.

Its just frustrating knowing that so many great and talented developers that often offer ppl brand new and fun experiences gets buried by CoD's sales. And how does that evil billion dollar company Activision treat its fans? They treat it like mindless cows only good for milking. (and to me it seems they are right to do so cause apparently IMO you have to be mindless to spend 60$ year after year for the same thing) Like I said previously, I thought it looked awful (and I actually thought MW3 looked nice from the trailer last year), hopefully ppl will also think the same way and maybe the fact of CoD being the only game we talk about, the only game ppl are lining up at retailers every Novembers will finally come to a end. Cant wait for CoD being a normal franchise like so many others, I'm rly tired of always hearing about how it shattered records (which IMO are totally undeserving)

Again I want all of you to know that I'm putting allot of weight on the fact that this is IMO, so plz don't feel offended cause it is not my intention to personally offend any of you, it's just the way I see it. I know I will get alot of hate and probably allot of ppl will try to show me how wrong I am, but trust me their is pretty much nothing you can tell me that I haven't heard before, I doubt their is anything anyone of you can say that could make me change my mind.

One last thing, I think Activision is getting extremely arrogant by keeping launching CoDs every year despite the fact that this is making so many ppl angry. Feels like they are taunting all of those who see thru their ugly way of making business with ''yeah, were ripping off and ppl every year with a new CoD, It's successful and as-long as it stays that way we see no reason to stop, what you gonna do about it sucka! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$'' lol
