The vote is in and all of us are consumer whores, if your wondering if there will be a PA group playing at launch there will be a large number (if not all) the regular CODDUDEBROS playing (on the 360) at launch...Two months after launch though...
Blops2 Garbage:
Its comes that time once again where we get hyped up for a game that two weeks after it releases we will loathe. The cycle continues!
Blops 2 is rumored to use a point value system for each class. Each gun, attachment, equipment, and perk is worth a certain number of points. You get to mix and match up to 10 points worth of gear. What is unique with this is you can use only a knife and a ton of perks and then grab a gun off of someone who died during the match. Think Specialist from MW3 but instead you start with all the perks active, but only have a pistol or if your feeling like a giant douchebag...only a knife.
In addition it is rumored that a "Wildcard" item will be in the game allowing you to sacrifice your Tactical equipment (Smoke, Flashbang...etc) in exchange for an additional perk or ability. Killstreaks have been replaced with pointstreaks (similar to MW3s system but a bit different)
Keeping in the COD tradition of giving us useless shit we don't need while ignoring the features that we could use BLOPS2 will introduced a Livestreaming/Shoutcasting feature so people can watch you miss your 1080wallbangclaymorefakienoscope forty six times before you hit it...LIVE!

Game Types
Bots will be available in all gametypes
All game modes are customizable in Black Ops 2. Bots can be added to almost all game modes if a team needs filling out, for example. Players will also have the power to restrict content like certain attachments, perks and equipment. Interestingly, players will also be able to redesign the Pick 10 system to either a Pick 3 to Pick 17 system and anything in between. This can make for some extremely skill-based matches when weapons, perks and equipment are limited to only three slots. A slew of competitive settings and options have also been thrown in, including how FFA, TDM and CTS are scored, the ability to turn off 3rd person spectating, the ability to disable the announcer and a whole lot more.
At launch, three modes will be playable with up to three different teams within the regular assortment of playlists. These three teams can be made up of three to four players. Treyarch calls these “3×3′s” and “3X4′s.” Multi-team game modes include:
Team Deathmatch
Kill Confirmed
Hardpoint
Party Games essentially replaces Wager Matches from the original Black Ops. However, players will now be able to earn XP and rank up in the regular progression. Game types include:
Gun Game
Sticks and Stones
One in the Chamber
Sharpshooter
Combat Training is now integrated into the main game and will include three different modes at launch.
Bootcamp – In Bootcamp, players can rank up from level 1 to level 10 while gaining full experience. This playlist is solely made up of the Team Deathmatch game mode and pits one team of humans and bots against another team of human and bots. This eases the level of expectation placed on someone who may be new to the game.
Objective – Here, players can rank past level 10, but will not earn the full amount of XP. Once again, two teams made up of both humans and bots are pitted against each other in various objective-based game modes.
Bot Stomp – No XP is earned in Bot Stomp. Quite simply, a team of humans is pitted agains a team of bots – great for practice, map knowledge, and nailing down the basics of Call of Duty.
Other Modes
FFA
CTF
Domination
Ground War
Search And Destroy
Hardcore versions of each gametype
And yes ZOMBIES is back as a gametype. Zombies this time around will have three types:
Story Mode - Standard Zombies
Survival Mode - Hoarde Mode
Grief Mode - Two Teams vs each other, players cannot hurt each other but can "Grief" the other team with zombies, more info on Nov 13th.
Theatre Mode
The theater mode in Black Ops 2 is back and has seen some major improvements while keeping all the same tools, including the dolly cam, from previous Call of Duty’s. The new Social Features allow players to bookmark gameplays so that they can be revisited, meaning it’s now much easier to go back and search for your favorite moments after a plentiful night of games. The Meta Data has been expanded to include score, captures and defends while the robust Community Filter can help sort videos to a player’s preference. Up and down-voting is now also included for both films and screenshots.
An extremely powerful new feature, the Highlight Reel, allows players to create a film with the simple touch of a button. Simply load a game in the theater, select ‘Hightlight Reel,’ and the game instantly creates your very own montage of your most excellent moments. Settings can be customized, however, to expand or simplify the contents of your film. Further editing can be done once completed as well.
Black Ops2 will also include "CODCasting" which is an integrated streaming video feature allowing you to live stream your gameplay from your xbox so literally tens of people can watch your mediocre gameplay and constant slurs! You also will be reportedly able to "stream" footage to your PC using this, effectively giving you a PVR feature. There will also be a USB camera support (no word on if you must be connected through your PC or if its done xbox side)
You also will be given an option to Shoutcast if you do not want to livestream.
Prestige Mode
No longer is Prestige a “restart” as it was in previous Call of Duty titles. This time around, weapon experience and earned attachments are are carried over, as are all challenges.
Black Ops 2 is meant to be played all the way to prestige 10. Upon prestigeing, tokens are rewarded to the player which can then be used to unlock what ever item you want forever, including items that you have yet to reach the required level for. On top of these tokens, an additional reward can be selected. These rewards include:
New create a class slot – Up to 5 extra slots.
Stats Reset – This is a complete wipe of all stats and unlocks. This is essentially like buying the game new.
Refund – This gives back all unlock tokens a player has spent so far that prestige level. This basically allows players to re-roll or re-spec their character.
Only at prestige 10 is absolutely everything unlocked for the player.
Emblem Editor
Player Cards in Black Ops 2 is made up of these elements:
Background
Clan tag
Matchmaking level
Current League Play rank.
In the emblem editor, players will have up to 32 layers to work with. Objects can be flipped, moved, rotated, scaled and copied and pasted from one layer to another. The choice of colors has been improved and RGB color mixing can also be tweaked. The emblem editor now also supports transparency.
Should you choose not to create your own emblem, default emblems will also be provided. For those willing to get creative, more complex shapes will become available upon completing specific challenges. When it comes to backgrounds, over 150 are selectable, not all of which are simple rectangular shapes.

They don't fix anything, only break things
Vacorsis, sorry if I was like super serious buttface.
Dover, imagine the things I don't say.
Tibbly, I have a higher K:D than... most of the people I play with. I mean, who cares SRS BSNS, but don't lie. :P
Magell, of course you were doing better than me. You're a better player.
Also, if I really thought any of you were bad, I wouldn't play with you.
I just get irritated when we lose to people we could have easily beat.
I don't know why this post is double spaced.
TL;DR - You guys are all awesome for putting up with my bullshit. And if I do ever actually offend you, tell me. And I'll probably apologize and shut up. If I don't, mute me. I know sometimes I get way out of line. I think I'm being "funny drunken Mercy" but in reality I'm just being a cunt. That was a really long-winded TL;DR. I'm pretty bad at this.
That said, who wants to get drunk and play some Firing Range 24/7@!!???!!?!?@??!?!$516
Twitch Wed-Sun, 2-5pm CST
I guarantee you, no one gives a shit.
But feel free to think we care, JigglyTits!
:P
Oh you're fine most of the time, but in that hardcore match last night you got mean without any sarcasm or joviality in your tone. Clearly alcohol lowered your inhibitions and you let your true thoughts out!
Whatever, whore. Re-friend me.
EDIT: Brutle that may not actually be true. I probably still would. Don't know what you're frowning for, though.
Twitch Wed-Sun, 2-5pm CST
I should be on this weekend!
I know, I post more than I play.
double now.
All your fault Mercy.

gcc = amish
Tonight's show has been cancelled.
At first I was a bit worried about using a shotty without pump action, but the slow rate of fire still gives me that feeling of using a pump action so its all good .
Can't wait to see what's it's like with Range/Damage.

wait....
robert bowling tweeted out that they just added 5 new prestiges on PC, with updates on xbox and PS3 coming soon, so this is definitely legit info. i think its a pretty good idea for them to do this, and to stagger the releases cuz it'll only extend the life of the game. now i kinda want to prestige on 360, but i have 2 gold guns already and like 7 other ones to lvl 30...damn it.

Adding Prestige icons (the same one for all 10 even...) is something a very small percentage will even get to use.
Fuck it, logic is not welcome at IW.
EDIT: In other news I got the Unstoppable title with my brother, survival is pretty good in Co-Op.
I prefer the odd Treyarch Prestige icons over these medal looking things which devolves into "SKULLS!"
I've been a little better lately about partying up on the PS3. Your backlog is weak. I'll send you invites every minute on the PS3 until you defriend me, then send you friend requests every minute until you block me. Then I'll switch to my alt accounts ;-)
Or, you know, you could just play.

Google translate does not make anything real out of it.

I think he called you a rag? I know that "bumba clot" also translates to a very specific type of rag, maybe it's the same kinda thing.
Edit: did the old OP list the PC Group as BF3? That's awesome trolling, Tibbly.
Twitch Wed-Sun, 2-5pm CST
He had pretty awful scores, I guess he just likes sending random messages.
http://m.urbandictionary.com/#define?term=lappen
Lappen may also mean a dumb person, according to this link.
Twitch Wed-Sun, 2-5pm CST
Maybe I should just disable incoming messages, the levels of butthurt (now even from teammembers?!) is getting a bit high in MW3.
in case you havent noticed by my constant bitching in this thread, my PS3 broke a couple weeks ago and is currently being torn apart by some 12 year old asian kid, which is why I'm kind of never online.
and my backlog is not weak, yur a jerk. (though most of those games ive beaten before or have already started but lost my save files due to said PS3 breaking)

Man, did I ever get thrown into some garbage games in progress. The first game was HQ on Firing Range. The other team was ahead by more than 100 and had us spawn-trapped. Hinds and Hueys filled the sky. I had just prestiged, so I didn't have anyway to shoot that stuff down. We never had more than three people on our team, probably because people were joining and quitting, like I did. I quit that one, and got put into a, in-progess Dom game on Array that was just as lopsided.
I did manage to cap C a few times, and kill a couple of guys, and I forced myself to finish the game, so I got the XP. I went through the screens, left the lobby, quit the game and ejected the disc and damn near threw it in the trash.
Is BO really the game I wish mw3 was? Hell no. I think a lot of us have rose-tinted glasses.
Yeah, it's been there since at least last thread.
Anyways, Hauppauge 1212 at Best Buy, to buy or not to buy?
Twitch Wed-Sun, 2-5pm CST
I am a jerk, but your backlog is still weak. I know your PS3 broke. I'm saying that I refuse to accept you playing all those single player games once the PS3 is back I will assemble a party of Jurgen, JoeMomma, KingKong, you, me, and anyone else I can grab, or bust. And bust in this case means me harassing you endlessly with invites. I'm just saying
