BLACK OPS 2 – REVEAL TRAILER ANALYSIS + ZOMBIES CONFIRMATION

May 2, 2012
WEDNESDAY – 12:39

Last night, at approximately 01:00 in Ireland, Activision released the first official reveal trailer for the latest instalment of the Call of Duty franchise; ‘Black Ops 2′.

What did I think of it? Well I genuinely loved it; seeing as I’m a fan of ‘Black Ops’.

Let’s get one point of information out of the way. Zombies is confirmed.

“It’s our biggest and most ambitious zombies ever.” – Mark Lamia

Need a more legit source? Check out this interview with Mark Lamia:

Now on to the good stuff. I’ll just talk about the highlights of the campaign trailer.

1.) Sergeant Woods is back! In the first scene of the trailer we see him as an elderly man, and we see glimpses of him when he was slightly younger.

2.) The futuristic setting is really creepy. Is this a glimpse of our own future? hhmm… interesting..

3.) The enemies aren’t Russian or African! They’re from the Middle-East this time!

4.) Futuristic war machinery! Are Treyarch bringing back vehicles?? Hhmmm…

5.) HORSES!!!! I wanna play with a horse in multiplayer. If I can, nuff said, best COD ever!

LEAKED ‘BLACK OPS 2′ IMAGES?

May 1, 2012
TUESDAY – 12:22pm

In the past few days, the Call of Duty website has been releasing bits and pieces of unclear information about the upcoming Call of Duty game by developers Treyarch. Hype hype hype, *shaking my head*

The DOOPE.JP link is at the bottom of the blog

Some of these unclear images were:

This is the only information on tacitus. http://tacitus.com/

And so today, a Japanese website called Doope.Jp has released an article on legit-looking leaked photos. These are the images leaked below.

Clearly from these leaked images, the next COD game will be set in the future. The gun in that last image reminds me of the ‘Scarab’ or ‘Scar’ from Crysis.

And is that ginormous ‘Quadrotor’ Treyarch’s futuristic rendition of the Chopper Gunner?

In my opinion, this is quite interesting. Black Ops was a really good game. I couldn’t wait for this latest instalment. I’m hoping the hype won’t ruin the game.

If you wanna catch the *OFFICIAL* BLOPS II reveal, watch the NBA Playoffs. If not, wait til the next morning

‘BLACK OPS 2′ INFO LEAKED!!

March 27, 2012
TUESDAY – 18:53

A few hours ago, someone posted “Black Ops 2 Info Leaked” on ‘Digital Warfare 24/7′s forum section. Link to the post is at the bottom of this blog.

Apparently, this information was “leaked” in the Call of Duty forums yesterday night. Then I read this tweet from David Vonderhaar himself; Game Design Director of Treyarch, one of two (or three: Sledgehammer) Call of Duty developers. The other, Infinity Ward.

And yes, I did repeat what Vahn posted, I WANT A WAY TO WALL BANG CAMPERS! Bold and all in capitals so it sounds like I iz teh mad man. Camping is a disease; unless you call it defensive tactics, then you’re all gewd.

Assuming this info is legit:

“Its release date is set for the 6th of November.“
- No surprises there. Call of Duty release dates are getting predictable as Fifa release dates (early October).

“- Game Modes
- Escort
- Will be a new game mode
- Similar to Search and Destroy however a live player must be escorted to one of three areas (or two depending on the map) without being killed.
- The match will have rounds, consisting of one life only.
- Drop Zone and Kill Confirmed will return
- Team Defender and Infected will not return“
- I have to be honest, ‘Escort’ sounds like the game mode I always hoped SnD would be. Instead of just the one guy rushing to plant the bomb, have the entire party support the “live player” to finish the objective. I never played ‘Drop Zone’ and barely played ‘Kill Confirmed’ so I couldn’t care less. I’m not too keen on ‘Infected’ or ‘Team Defender’ either so… hurray for ‘Escort’… for now anyway.

“- Pointstreaks
- Will follow from Modern Warfare 3’s system
- Larger emphasis on objectives
- A bomb plant is worth 2 points
- A neutral flag is worth 1, however an enemy flag is worth 2
- A flag assist capture is worth 1, a capture is worth 2“
- Uhhmm.. Again… YES! I’m sick of kill whores taking over game types like ‘Capture the Flag’ or ‘Domination’. If this actually gets people to play the objective, oh my goodness. I’m not too keen on pointstreaks, but I suppose they play a big role in getting people to play the objective rather than the ole’ killstreaks.

“- The Specialist Pointstreak has be modified
- You do not get every perk when you reach 8 kills“
- I think it’s fair that you don’t get all perks after 8 kills. I’ll go on a limb here and say that the MW3 Specialist package is OP (Over-powered). And I’m also glad Treyarch has decided to take this into ‘Black Ops 2′ since Specialist was one of the reasons that made MW3 bearable.

“ Heat vision
- Is a new Pointstreak reward
- When you get the required points, you can activate this Pointstreak and your player pulls out a scope and attaches it to your weapon.
- This scopes main advantage is it’s ability to detect enemies through most walls.“
- Remember when I posted Vahn’s tweet about wall banging campers? Yeah But the bit about “most walls” gets to me. But hey, this is bad news to ALL campers. Sorry defensive players

“- Removed
- No MOAB or Nuke
- No last stand
- No death streaks
- No flame thrower attachment“
- Cool. Awesome. Excellent. No last stands, Robert Bowling’s famous words “FUCK YOU LAST STAND!”… And with no death streaks means no ‘Final Stand’ or ‘Dead Man’s Hand’. I never liked death streaks anyway. IMO, they only make you worse. Blops never had death streaks and I rampage through that game. MW2 and MW3, I feel like shit after getting juiced, copycat or martyrdom.

“- Sniper Rifles
- Improved sniper rifle usage.
- No aim assist for any sniper rifle.
- Less sway“
- Seems like it’ll be hard to quick scope this time around. And no aim assist? If you end up sniping on Blops 2, kudos to you.

Much more info was released such as: Customization, Perk System 2.0, Prestiges, etc.

#KONY2012′S JASON RUSSELL ARRESTED

March 16, 2012
FRIDAY – 22:51

Jason Russell, 33, Invisible Children’s Co-founder and director of the much controversial #KONY2012 30-mins documentary on YouTube, has been arrested for public disorder. What was he doing? Well according to nbc, he was found “masturbating in public, vandalizing cars and possibly under the influence of something”…

According to the article, Police “received several calls at 11:30am of a man in various stages of undress, runnign through traffic and screaming… in his underwear.”

You know what I’ll end it right there. Just read the article.

CRITICISING #KONY2012

March 16, 2012
Friday – 22:14

At some point today, I logged onto the ‘ole Feshbewk and one of the dudes from my College in LIT Clonmel posted a video of Charlie Brooker criticising the ‘KONY2012′ “movement” on the show ’10 O’Clock Live’; and I write the word ‘movement’ loosely. To express my feelings towards this “movement”. I have to admit, I am guilty of being one of the first few people to tweet out and share the video on facebook. But in my defence, I am easily led when it comes down straight to touching emotion and the need for justice; may it be false or not.

If you haven’t seen the video or hasn’t really gotten the point I was trying to get across well, the image at the bottom is a screenshot from the #KONY2012 video. I don’t wanna say it but I have to, Pyramid symbolism… *hint hint

This other image below is a screenshot from the one of Invisible Children’s video on vimeo. Again, triangle symbolism, EXCEPT this time, the image tells you to embrace it.

Just watch the video below. This was the one Charlie Brooker was talking about, “The Forth Estate”.

I like their cause. I believe strongly believe in justice and freedom. But it’s hard to keep that going when the guy their going after has been missing for a couple of years.
But you know what? Make up your own mind. But I’d rather know I’m free rather think I’m free. Think for yourself, rather than be someone’s puppet slave.

ANTI-PROTEST LAW PASSED IN THE US!!!

March 14, 2012
Wednesday – 18:46

It’s been a while since I posted something, why not get back to this on a serious note.

At 10:49am today in the US, Huffington Post, posted an article about the US Government passing a bill known as ‘H.R.347′ aka the “Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011”. And yes, Barry Soetoro aka Barack Obama signed it. This bill was passed on Monday of this week. Basically, if you take part in “any kind of political protests“, the US Government have the right to sentence you to 1 year of imprisonment! Seriously?

Wanna hear something even scarier? Both Republicans and Democrats agreed to the signing of this law, with the exception of Ron Paul and two other Republicans who voted against this bill. The results? 388 for, 3 against. I’ve always thought about this; politicians are like WWE wrestlers. They may come off as enemies in their job, but backstage they’re all ‘cool and the gang’. But the fact that they didn’t even argue about this is really terrifying, Republicans and Democrats acting as one? I don’t like the sound of that.

Another note, this was not put in the public’s attention! Apparently this law came about the ‘Occupy Movement’, which I do not know much about. Are we not meant to express our thoughts and feelings about this? A Government should fear its own people, not the other way around. A Police/Gardai should be protecting its people, instead of disregarding their rights as humans and treating them like animals.

This is a quote from WSWS.org,

“Senator Rick Santorum, the ultra-right Republican presidential candidate, enjoys the protection of the Secret Service. Accordingly, a person who shouts “boo!” during a speech by Santorum could be subject to arrest and a year of imprisonment under Section 1752(a)(2) (making it a felony to “engag[e] in disorderly or disruptive conduct in” a restricted area).”

Where’s your American dream now? The American dream is a lie! Open your eyes, people.

Below is a huge extract from the Huffington Post.

“So you could be convicted of a federal crime and locked away for a year or more for the following things:

1) Marching outside the Democratic or Republican National Conventions

2) Yelling “C**k-face corporate whore” outside a barber shop where Mitt Romney is getting his ear hair trimmed.

3) Marching in front of the entrance of the New York Stock Exchange

4) Sprinkling magic homosexual glitter on Rick Santorum, or even anyone near Rick Santorum, or even just making fun of his stupid sweater vest!

5) Going to the gates of the White House and demanding the President read the Constitution. …You know, if he gets a chance.”

There are links at the bottom directing you to these articles talking about H.R.347. I don’t know what else to say about this except for,

FREE SPEECH IS DEAD!

My Gaming Wishlist + God Of War 4 trailer

March 3, 2012
Thursday – 15:41

I was playing COD:Black Ops. Game started, and I started lagging. I was at 1 bar. So this blog is to express my interest in games I am expecting to be purchasing sometime this year. And also anticipating an anoouncement of.

GOD OF WAR 4 – PS3

Well it’s God Of War,. How could I own a PS3 and not God of War? Nuff said.

click on this link you will NOT be disappointed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOwCvW_4x_k&feature=related

COUNTER-STRIKE: GLOBAL OFFENSIVE – PC/XBOX360/PS3

“BOOM! HEADSHOT!” – FPS DOUG

FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 – PS3/XBOX360

I loved Final Fantasy 13; even though it was linear for virtually the entire game. And I hear good things about 13-2. This may be the same with FFX-2 with a messed up storyline but came with an awesome fighting system.

CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS 2 – PS3/XBOX360

I wrote a post on this so my view on this game is on this post http://banditkidking.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/cod-black-ops-2-out-in-november-infinitywardlolol/.

BLACKLIGHT RETRIBUTION – PC

At the moment, any FPS on the PC will do me good. Yes, I’m one of those guys that think FPS belongs in the PC.

NEXUIZ – PS3/XBOX/PC

I wouldn’t mind playing this fast-paced arcade style FPS on the PS3 but I would much prefer on the PC. As ny other shooter.

FIFA 13 – PS3

Fifa comes out every year. I recently got my ass handed to me (3-1). I want to start afresh!

NARUTO ULTIMATE NINJA STORM: GENERATIONS – PS3

It’s naruto. Nuff said.

POKEMON BLACK/WHITE 2 – NDS

It’s pokemon. Nuff said.

MASS EFFECT III – PS3/XBOX360/PC

The graphics look excellent. Although I’m a bit worried about this game’s context. Aliens invading planet Earth? Again? Hhmmm…

ASSASSIN’S CREED III – PS3/XBOX360

I didn’t get Brotherhood or Revelations simply because they shared the same scenario as Assassin’s Creed II; both were in Italy. But this is based during the American Civil War. This should be interesting.

THE LAST OF US – PS3

By Naughty Dog. With Ellen Paige as character? YES!

still waiting for…

KINGDOM HEARTS 3 – PS3/PS4
Not the 3DS version, ‘Dream Drop Destiny’. I swear I get giddy whenever I think about a Kingdom Hearts game on a next-gen console. I am expecting alot!

FINAL FANTASY VERSUS XIII – PS3

This was announced more than 6 years ago! Damnit Square Enix don’t turn VersusXIII into Guns n’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy! (took 12 years to make a something like $2 million was spent throughout those years?)

GOOGLE INVASION WITH NEW PRIVACY POLICY + UPDATE

March 2, 2012
Friday – 00:39

So in the past few weeks, I’ve been receiving notifications on my YouTube page about Google’s change of policy; and if you didn’t know yet, Google owns YouTube. Whether I agree to this or not, this policy will come into effect anyway. And as of today, so it did. And what does this new privacy policy entail? Well… you “won’t believe it!”

Since I wasn’t bothered reading the 5 billion word policy published online, the information I provide is directly from SourceFed’s video, ‘Google Oogles Everything You Do’.

According to the video, Google will have a record of everything you’ve searched on the Google search bar, on YouTube, your emails and even all the messages you’ve sent on chat. WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUH!

But worry not my friends my free minded friends, there is a way to somewhat prevent Google from taking all this information from you! Visit this site ASAP! http://gizmodo.com/5887967/how-to-remove-your-google-search-history-before-googles-new-privacy-policy-takes-effect?tag=google/privacy

May be the force be with you my young padawans!

01:24

The policy is already in effect guys sorry I couldn’t have worked on this before hand. I failed
