Best post of your career

shyt bout to get real brehs, best multiplayer game this year

This might end up being one of those all-time greats. This game might have a seat next to Quake III Arena and CS in the hall of fame!

Yeah, that battle rile did have me like once I read what it can do.
My gun of choice in COD is the Type 95 so

LEt's get it brehs! it's going to be interesting with only one week between BO2 and this.

BO2 is already overrated. What is so good about that game anyway?
The main dudes left, usually ranchises go downhill from there?
I know Trey Arch is a different team, but they didnt work alone.
They shared info and swagged off of the OG's. I just dont get why BO2 is getting the type of hype its getting?

Gonna finally reup XBL(still raping) when this comes out.

I hope all these tactical and support upgrades don't create over powered loadouts and what not. I'd hate to go online and see an annoying combo that needs to be patched in the future.

These offscreen videos are just a tease. You can't really hear the sounds and see how the graphics really look like.

when this shyt come out? I used to be a beast on halo2/3/reach.
and we need to squad up brehs

I hope y'all don't get all hyped up and then 3-4 months later nobody hardly be on anymore *gears*

When I say I'll play a game I mean it, I'm talking a year later still rocking faithfully unlike some ADHD gamers in here. THIS will be getting burn for years I see.

 

[Ineedmoney504]

Gears multiplayer was just trash once they added sawed off, all the hardcore gears heads who stuck wit gears 2 multiplayer said fukk that shyt, nikkas need to stop trying to make games to casual friendly, if they want to get some kills tell them learn how to play the game and stop putting them noob ass gun in

Let's see
Pick 10 system with wild cards allows you to play how you want, multiple perks from the same class if you want, don't want a secondary weapon don't get one, etc etc
LEague play allow for more competitive games
CodCasting allowing for commentary on games
Zombie mode redux
SP mode possibly worth playing
Will still have barebones mode if you don't want all that stuff.

I'm a big Halo fan since CE, but I'm a little worried about this new system esp with people that order the Collectors addition having early access to other packs before everyone else. Could be VERY unbalanced. We'll see though.
