Treyarch’s Black Ops 2 will convince you to play online again

4.1
An interesting interview from Kotaku was posted earlier today which featured Treyarch’s Director of Communications John Rafacz.

He starts by explaining Boot Camp: “There are three components to it,” he explains. “There’s a thing we call boot camp.

“Boot Camp is a mix of human and AI players versus a mix of human and AI players for full XP credit for the first ten levels. You are actually ranking up. Beyond level 10, once you pass that threshold, you start earning half XP. Then there’s bot stomp which is just you and your buddies wailing on the AI.”

Rafacz goes onto to discuss why Black Ops 2′s matchmaking will deliver on what they have said:
“That’s what gave rise to the thing we’re calling league play. This is a more robust matchmaking system. On day one you start playing and after a short while it starts to rank you. This is where we start matching you with people of like skill. Hopefully someone new to the game won’t be matched up against a true master.”

Rafacz continues on how they try to ‘control players’ from being offensive:
“The ability to report players for offensive language, offensive emblems, all of that will be in place. There’s a certain extent to which we hope people will be able to police themselves, and there’s no way we can personally account for bad apples, so we try and give people the tools to help people help themselves.”

“We’re trying to make sure people are focusing toward a more co-operative style of game.”

ineedaxplobbymw2 A game like this is not worth $60 bucks just for zombies, so im gonna go with Halo4.


$60 of the zombies and the rest of the game Bo2 is well better then halo4


Lol, CoD, a game that is made in a 2 year period, is way better than Halo, a game that usually takes 3-4 years to make, has better ratings, and hasn't had the same graphics since the 2nd one? You sir, need to get your head checked.

We'll just have to see how the matchmaking holds up when the servers are flooded with people looking for a match

Stay_Fresh Yeah the game is rated M for MATURE.

They swear during the single player.
And yet they have a system of reporting offensive language. Makes no sense.


Finally somebody understands. If it's rated M then it would be expected to be played by MATURE individuals. If that's not the case and a 12 year old is playing it and their parents bought it for them then it's their parent's fault. If someone who is 18+ swears while playing a MATURE game and a 12 year old who is playing hears it then tough, shouldn't have bought it for them in the first place. Dumb ass parents... smh


i doubt anyone considered "mature" even plays COD


Actually, there is more mature people on CoD than little kids. I rarely see any kids on MW3, mw2, ect.

NoggerMcGoo Yea, yea. They say that every year " This call of duty has remodeled everything, we promise the will give you the best experience you have even seen in an online game!" Yet, MW3 was trash and Black Ops was an okay game.

Sad that every 12 year old will still fall for it though.


Black Ops was the best call of duty to come along in a while. You cant deny that call of duty redefined multiplayer
