The playoffs reveal gave a good look into the world of this new Call of Duty title.

TreyArch will also use the same engine from WAW and BOps, which is kind of a bummer. What I hope they bring is some more speed. BOps was slow, too slow.

But it was one of the more balanced CODs too, which is good. Balanced OnLine play is critical. This one, set in the near future, will show the apex of the game’s engine, with a story set in the near future (about 13 years away) 2025.

A lot of the guns that I have been seeing in futureweapons have been thrown into MW3 like:

So, there looks to be some guns from some past episodes for black ops 2, which will be great for the game.

Having 2 modern titles going head to head is good. I think BOpsII will be a more balanced COD this time too.

Can’t wait

Next tuesday is the world reveal of a new COD? As we can see there are many easter eggs for the release. More than any other COD game.

A few things that I have noticed and some that I have found from others in the community:

The background character is a man holding a single pistol
One of the MANY SITES, has a splash screen with Morse Code, that spells “black ops 2”
The reveal, most likely should be a trailer, Vgnette-style ad and gameplay footage of some kind and a release date.

There is all kinds of speculation, most of which is based on Multiplayer (one of the main reasons that we play) and online game modes.

There are also some new engine tweaks that are said to be used throughout the entirety of the game, so hopefully they speed the game up!!!

That was one of the weirdest things about Black Ops, was the fact they kept the speed of the players waaay down. That’s also a subject I have not touched on, because we are still immersed in MW3 and are still playing MW2 and Black Ops.

There are multitude of problems with the franchise, but oddly enough, there wasn’t all that much wrong with black ops itself. I personally think that it is still one of the more balanced CODs, period (but that’s just me) minus speed and some other issues.

The map releases for BOPs were some of the best, but there were no Classic maps as DLCs, which is bogus.

There Gun Game is fun. PERIOD. The maps are great for DOM, FFA and I hope that in BOPs II, there will be an express mode, (FREE) classic map pack DLCs, (FREE) classic weapon DLCs, MORE maps included in the map pack DLCs too.

Hopefully, they can cross utilize modes and features like:
strike packages (MW3)
Points for perks
same assemblage of perks as in BOps I

having sleight of hand and Scavenger is one of favorite setups!!!

All in all, treyarch is gonna have a good game on their hands, seeing as they have never changed their game engine, like modern warfare. They have had mounds of time to make plenty of maps and sandbox old ones to this new one.

Since they just let Robert Bowling leave, they should dedicate some FREE DLCs in his honor, because Activision is just insane for letting him just leave and he was justified in his words about what we should get as avid players of the franchise.

Seeing WaW maps in BOps II would be crazy. Hundreds of thousands of people still play all the games, aside from MW3, so if they could test out the cross-pre-game technology (which they have at their disposal) that would be crazy too.

But that will never happen, sadly. . .

Activision is HUGE, they don’t care too much about players, which is obvious since ambassador Bowling left the stable, having outcomes like ALL OR NOTHING is the path that I feel we should take to get more out of publishers and what good developers want us to have. 

I hope they hear us. . .

Max Payne’s TV Spot looks good and there is little that needs to be left to the imagination which, in this case, is a good thing.

We want a revival of great story and gameplay the first game provided and better features, which should give an idea of what we should expect from this title.

The story is solid and being able to switch looks in the game is a plus. The game itself looks crazy and the design elements take advantage of game play and it’s coveted BULLETTIMEU+2122.

Although seeing NPCs getting shot in the fact looks gory and almost spooky, STILL can’t wait to play this game.

All or Nothing GamePlay

I knew it. I said it. NOW??? It’s happened.

I have been tweeting to others on my network about how Sony has to and WILL change their structure and ideas about how they operate from now on.

That sobering $6B dollar loss has led Sony to push forward in their restructuring process and make sure they concentrate on their gaming strategies and portability.

This is something that has been a hallmark of their success. Every system they have released has gone portable in some way, but they have struggled, almost deathly with the portable music market. UNLIMITED?? POS at best and I hope they delete that from their plans to expand on it.

Their gaming strategy should consist of more and free choice, like they have had success with. But they are not without their snafus, back when Ken Kuturagi stated that the PS3 was too cheap as a console .

Failure is not without it’s lessons.

Hopefully this will set fire to the asses of the execs at Sony and make them understand that they can not live without us!!! They can not survive without as a gaming division without the gamers and their enthusiasm for great games.

God War, Uncharted and other great games from Sony will keep fanboys excited, but that’s not enough. Sony can not survive off of a cult following. They have to get back to the mass appeal that they used to garner.

The future of Sony gaming, is yet to come and this next fiscal year will be evidence of what path their feet choose to settle.

MW3 brings new Map Pack content with sanctuary and foundation for XBOX. These maps look pretty good. The gameplay on them is bananas to apes. A lot of map releases are good maps. I liked carnival, but when in a lobby, friends would want to leave.

I thought it was a good map. wasn’t great by a long shot, but I got to the point, where I looked forward to playing it. my rant.

I am bringing news and will be transitioning into more of what I made this site for:

Giveaways, Gaming, traveling and eSports.

I have launched an indiegogo page , so that I can get better equipment and designs for the site and freelancing and capping gameplay and playing with u guys.

As I have stated before, my PS3 was stolen so there is little I can do right now, other than to save up, to get commentaries for my YT channel and to screencast my designs for the gameclinic network.

I got a feeling that this is gonna get bigger, so long as I have help and people chime in, GRX will have traction.

I have never asked for help, oddly enough, but I know it’s needed.

If you can help with anything, even if you can SHARE the indieGOGO page and GC’S link with your friends and encourage them to follow and donate, there would be no words for my appreciation for this.

I have 8 great followers and you guys are the best!!! thank you for the comments and send some questions.

If you have some gaming news of any kind, i will post it as well.

have a great one,

Gonna be another great game:

Resident Evil 1,2,3,4 and 6!!

didn’t care for 5, but it was a really good game. but it felt unfamiliar and with such a change and revolution in 4, with great gameplay (some of the best of any of the series and in game in general), and what might be the best camera in any Resident title. 

But altogether?? The games are great and comparatively, 5 is a great sequel (think about bad ones like Max Payne 2)

With the game coming and an HD reboot in the pipeline, hopefully this can revamp and replicate the enthusiasm for 4. 4 was one of the best OTS (over the shoulder) 3 person games PERIOD.

A good list of great 3rd person (and some OTS) games:

Syphon Filter
metal gear solid 1 & 4
GTA series (especially 3, san andreas and 4)
silent hill (OK camera)
uncharted (all)
soul reaver
shadow of the collosus
SOCOM 2

just a few games that i love playing STILL, except GTA4 and MGS4 and Uncharted

One of my favorite R E titles:

Code Veronica
II
I 

I got a feeling after seeing this trailer, that the game should be great and light years ahead of 5, which wasn’t at all bad, just could have been way better.

Sony has been going through some problems. 

These ongoing problems range from tax increases (which is the stem), $6B in losses, due also to their music technology and portable listening devices, which has also led them to reduce their workforce by up to 10,000 workers.

This reduction is in the wake of last year’s earthquake with it’s injured supply chain, previously hacked network, through its badly made music service and countless other ailments have nearly sidelined Sony’s gaming division.

There’s A pattern and it’s BIG.

Sony optimistically thinks they will overcome this next fiscal year and we hope they do.

Playstation PLUS is not effective and there is nothing that will take this company into the future than just concentrating on customers of Sony products and services.

Sony has great, high quality products, but they have a service issue at hand. They are using googleTV, which is OK at best. They use their unlimited services in conjunction, which sucks and they are wondering why there is so little return.

They need a new service model: THE OLD ONE!! lol

They need to find where all their successes lie and they need to transplant them back into this new model. I think people STILL should not pay to acquire this model. The success of Sony came from their hardware, wealth of great games pre-PSPlus, THEN Uncharted DLCs, assassin’s creed DLCs, etc.

Black Ops was a great DLC, worth the money. Assassin’s Creed DLC and pre-order for 2 was a good DLC and ad tie-in. That’s what people want when they pay. Not just “well, we have a new service and it’s gonna cost you” and that’s it.

That’s not how you keep customers. EVER. ANOTHER great DLC? JOURNEY.

What I do think was pretty good for people, was the crisis that was ANON — the hacker network, that is currently attacking chinese GOV sites as of late. What that situation did, was it made Sony step up their security game and become more secure and in the end, it should help keep people from more hacking threats and better online experience.

Their message was simple: don’t mistreat gamers and gaming feudalism should not exist. They have moved beyond that and are now anxious to make sure people are treated the right way.

Losing $6B is not like dropping your roll of quarters at the laundry mat, either.

I hope they change what they have to, to get customers right, so we can buy more Sony stuff.
