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.”

Treyarch convinced me to sell all my CoD games because only 6 year old squeakers play it now.

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


I doubt you have ever even play COD before lmao dumb ass.


You just proved my point, thank you

If your so immature that the only come back to being butt hurt is trying to insult them, you should go play cod.


But your not mature either. You start saying that for no reason. I know a lot of mature people who play it.


Yeah, compare that amount of people to the millions of elementary school kids that just love to hope on COD everyday after school, did you know over 62% of kids that play cod are under 12? that's more than any other game out there. The only reason i know that is because i read this article about how a lot of little kids are playing M rated games :/


Not saying im immature cuz im 15, but you don't have to be Mature adult to get a rated M game. All you have to do is get your parent and your little son whoever his age is and you get the game then go to checkout and the guy will say"This is a rated M game meant intended for mature audiances only" Then he wil say are you okay with that?
And than bam! Little kid runs home with a copy of CoD, he puts it in and starts to ruin the game.
I wish there was a way to set up matchmaking were you would input your age then it would match you with people the same age and up.
But that would still have its flaws because there are way to many immature 14-17 year olds, they all talk trash and shit like that.

griff321 This game looks terrible its not even gonna be as good as MW3 and lots of people didn't even like that one what makes you think this will be any better all te gameplay footage pushed me away so far all I want is halo 4 not not both games that's for sure


MW3 was the worst call of duty i ever played, it was fun at first but now it is just horrible.
Snipers think it is all just kids that tryhard and camp.
Reg gunners (Bad kids) think that it is all just full of kids that camp
The game is horrible, and a lot of the guns are un-balanced.
You go in to a game and mostly kids will be using a ACR,PP90M1,MP7,UMP45,and thats pretty much it.


You sir just earned yourself some rep


Yeah he did! I honestly LOVE Treyarch because they're much more dedicated and in my opinion better idea creators for a game! I think Black Ops 2 will have its pros but will also have its cons.
I personally hate MW3 and am very disappointed that I thought it was going to make MW2 look bad when instead MW2 made MW3 look bad. I didn't like Black Ops because it required the skill and the dedication to become good at the game but in the end... Black Ops was the best Call Of Duty ever created and that is my final word... P.S.
I enjoyed CoD 1,2,3,4... so I do in fact know my CoD history. and Black Ops won it.


Thanks to both of you guys!
But yes MW3 was horrible, the best cods are all of the ones before MW3...when i started getting bored of MW3 i went to CoD3 and to be honest CoD 3 is better than MW3, deadasss. Modern warfare 2 is a very well built game for snipers. Black ops wasn't so great for snipers but its allright you can still have fun with it. My favorite COD was CoD 4 until it got hacked up...yeah it is fun to use hacks sometimes but not online, no one wants superspeed to run around with, you cant get kills with that. Its almost like a switch when unlimeted ammo comes on, the noob tubes comeout as well.

I really like this method.

Finally doing something to help the not so good players.

Maybe this means less rage quitting?

Knicks i love the idea, of matching up players by skill, so i dont get stuck playing with no lifes and the kids who buy $500 headsets....


it is a good idea,now i can play with people who have a true kd(without camping) of 3+...also im just about to leave to go to the knicks game in the carrier dome.ps.the $500 headphones are 7.1 dolby vs $30 headphones which are 5.1,and theyre less of a difference than you would think...

Astro A50s are only $300 and they are pretty good for the price but you have to honestly look at it like this, so if you buy a huge tv so you can watch movies in really good definition trying to that movie theater experience you want a really good surround with it, it's the same thing for people who just want to experience their games better, I want a good set not to be better at playing the game but because I can almost the same feeling as being in a room with a good surround sound set up but with out my neighborhood hearing explosions and gun shots, etc..


Just play the game, headsets don't matter unless you try hard.


or you live where you would disturb other people at night,thats my primary reason to having a headset.also just bc you have a headset doesnt mean you tryhard.
