User blog comment:KATANAGOD/Black Ops II Day 1 Preorders Already Beating MW3's/@comment-3062838-20120504200007/@comment-96.240.33.60-20120505054515

I'll buy it, but I tend to play games I like, and when I play them, I search for reasons why I play them. BO II is only to be considered lame if Hudson dies, Weaver doesn't show up, Mason doesn't have the same actor, and if Reznov doesn't show up/get mentioned. Or if all three *Reznov did this* die.

MW2 is still my favorite COD. I just love the way Foley orders Ramirez around, Dunn's voice is so cool, Soap being alive and just a bad-boy is awesome, and some really cool Ranger and TF141 outfits. And of course, Ghost. Who could forget Ghostie? The rumors that he was really Gaz were touching. It was nice that people thought that it was really Gaz and that he had cheated death after COD4.

The game hasn't been released, when the game is released, then we can think of it as lame if it really is lame. The reasons for it being lame have to be more than: It's lame.

It has to be somthing like: The music is bad, Mason/Hudson/Weaver die, poor storyline, not relatively realistic enough *In the sense that laser guns are used in 2025 and space battles complete with Star Wars ships like the ARC-170 and Vulture Droid.* No relation between BO1 and BO2, and of course, what effect killing Dragovich had on the story.

Lack of Zombie characters Tank, Takeo, Richtofen and Nikolai notwithstanding. If they aren't in the game...zombies kinda loses it's charm without them. I mean, what are they gonna do? Say that the four celebs survived the nukes? *Richtofen's Grand Scheme - 4-players required*

I know this is probably dragging on, so I'll try and make this part quick.

How do they explain a large 40+ year gap between BO and BO2? And this David Mason, how does he fight, he'd be 40 if he was born right after BO, and Mason would be rather old to have a kid if he's (David) 20. Of course, there might be a Captain Price style thing to David, being old and fighting. Just my opinion.

Totallly unrelated, anyone here wonder what happened to Price, Foley, Dunn, Ramirez, Frost and MacMillan after MW2 and MW3? They never explained what Price did after smoking the cigar, and whatever happened to Foley, Dunn and Ramirez post Whiskey Hotel.

I'm finished with my essay of sorts, thanks.
