This is why I don't buy games anymore.
Or rarely anyway. I only buy games that deserve it. The last one I bought was Skyrim, and I don't really see any on the horizon that are begging to be purchased. |

Indeed, it's the same reason that Madden markets a bunch of "new" features every year to distract from the roster updates. |

What I don't understand is why they don't just bite the fucking bullet and make it multiplayer only.
I honestly can't tell you much about Black Ops campaign, except that Castro was in it briefly, and that's because the game slowed down and shoved that in our faces. Oh, and there were WW2 soviets I think. Or something. And Jungle. That's my memory of BO single player. And I played through it twice.
At this point I might be more interested in CoD if they ditched single player and made some massive steps forward in Multiplayer, which is where the longevity of the game is at anyway.
Oh, also, killstreak perks suck from a paradigm perspective. I'll just say it. Rewarding players who are already skilled with the easy button of killing more dudes is frustrating if you're not particularly good.

Good question. I own all CoD PC titles, and I have never played the single player on any of them. Actually, the only one I even started up the single player on is the original CoD. |

Probably because there's still a few who buy it only for the single player campaign. And thats where they can put cool looking cut scenes in the game that they can use for ads and trailers.
If they thought they could net more money without it, trust me, they wouldn't bother to put it in. |

With all that said, I will probably buy this game. If people didn't want to support developers/publishers then they'd just pirate everything and save themselves the money. The reality is that gamers WANT to support the industry and people here hate it when shitty companies like Activision rehash games with the same engine, a pathetically short singleplayer, the same multiplayer and charge over-the-odds for it, all the while fucking over PC gamers by not taking advantage of the platform or simply offering a token gesture.
Skyrim offered dramatically more content for a lower price, as well as better support and excellent community tools. They also discounted the game early on and have generally respected the community. Same with The Witcher 2 and the extra content they put out for free. If you want to support shitty publishers putting out overpriced shitty games then all I can say is fuck you for making the games industry a soulless corporate monstrosity. |

Seriously, this is like taking 3 steps back. At least Activision will sell this game on Steam unlike those greedy bastards at EA. Use Origin? Not happening!! |

Yeah, but most likely that cubicle has a whiteboard with a list of features split into three groups - likely, possible, cut. |

That sounded so much cooler when I read it as, "it's one Crucible over from where they're making the console version."
I immediately started seeing a war raging between two gigantic crucibles, arrows screaming through the air, Wildfire exploding on the walls, the war drums from Lord of the Rings playing in the back ground.
Then I read it again...oh....cubicle...so much less exciting. I'm listening to the Game of Thrones books on tape right now and everything is beginning to blur into scenes in those books. I even bust out phrases and start rhyming my speech at times, this is an amazing experience. I highly recommend Audible.com and those audio books. Costs $20 a book and I believe the first one ends up being free with a new membership but omg it's sooo fucking good. |

Do you really think anything will have changed, much less improve for the PC edition by now? Do you really not already know the answers to these questions by now? LOL.

Admittedly, Treyarch has catered well to the PC users, unlike Infinity Ward. But the dodged questions about dedicated servers really does send a message that their business strategy has shifted to the console market and that PC players will suffer with the next BO title.
Even if they gave us the same dedicated server model as Black Ops currently uses that would be better than what Infinity Ward has given us. Peer 2 peer gaming sucks, and does NOTHING to prevent cheating in the short term, if at all.
