Black Ops 2 features in-game livestreaming and 'Shoutcasting'

4.5
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is looking to leave a mark on the future with its feature list, bringing livestreaming options into the series for the first time in its history. Developer Treyarch has revealed that Black Ops 2 will include the ability to stream and Shoutcast directly from the game on all platforms when it launches on November 13.

In the mode, two players can serve as Shoutcasters – otherwise known as commentators – for a multiplayer match. Though inspired by the eSports crowd, the mode is available to all. Players can shoutcast games live as they are taking place or add commentary to games saved in the Theater mode of Black Ops 2.

Delayed livestreams can be activated from the menu at any time, feeding the game to a web browser for anyone on a PC, Mac, or mobile device to watch.

True, Im still tempted to buy an HD-PVR tho. :/


I would if I were you. No reason to live stream with horrible laggy quality.


again, you don't know what the quality will be like until you see it for yourself. and after you see it you can make the judgement on whether you should buy a cap card or not.


Yeah you should wait until you so it for yourself. You never know, it could turn out to be decent quality.

Scanty I have a feeling the quality of the livestream isn't going to be that great. You're better off recording your live audio while you record your gameplay with a standard recorder.


it's not going to be the best but better then buying a cap card
