I bought it on release day and i really like it. The single player is crap but the multiplayer is great! I hope we get some DLC too.


Would you rather have just a straight port of black ops 2?


Yes of course!

Right, I've said this from day one! All it needed to be was a port of black ops 2's multiplayer with a few pieces of unique content (and ideally crossplay). not only would it ensure quality (check wii COD ports, they're actually good),  but it would probably be cheaper and quicker to produce. What idiot at Sony thought it would be a good idea to hire nihilstic to produce a game from the ground up in 6 months when the easier alternative was so much more promising? Oh well, I'm over it.

It was activision. Nothing to do with Sony.

This could be the case but I doubt it. Activision rarely if ever publically acknowledged the game and the use of Niilstic as developer points toward sony being responsible for getting the ball rolling, with their recent work on Sony Ips. Activision are normally protective over the franchise so I don't see why they opt for such poor developers but more importantly I also don't see wht they would choose to outsource it a team which was working on a seperate title up until april/may. It would seem obvious that activision would simply produce a Vita port (as they did for every the wii COD) and use one of their dozen or so smaller in house developers. I'd assume Sony wanted a game build ground up for the Vita and so Activision allowed them to handle most of the resourcing as their smaller teams only work on either ports or small OS/wii games. But I may also be 100%wrong, but it just doesn't add up for activision to have produced this when they've had a really good history, even the Nintendo DS cod games were better executed then this.
