So it's about that time of year when information about the latest call of duty starts to rear its ugly recycled head. I would be lying if I told you that I didn't look forward to this every single year. It's become a tradition of mine to watch everybody bitch and complain about the previous years call of duty and get hyped for the latest title.
We can finally start to say goodbye to MW3 and get ready to let Black Ops 2 into our lives. Truthfully I didn't regularly play COD until Black Ops 2. My first introduction to the COD franchise was with MW2 Hardcord TDM. Let's just say it wasn't a great experience. After about 2 sessions I traded my new copy of MW2 to gamestop because I hated the game with a passion.
As soon as Black Ops was announced I promised myself that I would take the time to learn about COD and play COD as much as possible because so many of my friends played the game on a regular basis. So in an effort to get to know COD better I decided to play the older games in the franchise. I refused to go back to playing what is quite possibly the most annoying COD in existence; Modern Warfare 2. So instead I decided to try what most of the community considers the holy grail of COD; Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare.
I dove head first into COD 4 and I actually enjoyed it. It was fun, fast paced, and exciting. The only thing I didn't agree with was how amazing everybody thought the game was. I mean it was good, but it had its own share of bullshit moments. Once I had my COD history lesson I was ready for Black Ops 2. Once the midnight release hit I was all over that game. I played Black Ops nonstop along with SF4. I think I enjoy black ops more than the average gamer. Most of the people around me still considered COD 4 to be the greatest of all time and I honestly liked Black Ops more. I think its because I actually played Black Ops with my friends constantly. With COD 4 I played solo a majority of the time.
Anyway, the time has come for Black Ops 2 to be the focus of our hate and admiration. Here's my prediction and Black Ops 2 timeline. On release everybody is going to praise how much better it is than MW3. Two months later everyone will find some bullshit to hate and talk about how inferior it is to MW3 and a few will migrate back to MW3. By June everyone will be dying for another COD and will start to spread hype about how the next COD iteration is going to be god like.
I can't wait for all of that to happen. I've already got my popcorn ready and I'm just waiting for the show to start!
