User blog comment:Callofduty4/Black Ops II will be Non-Linear and a Sandbox game/@comment-2177410-20120503024703/@comment-92.84.56.167-20120503123323

Yes, but in the ends it's all about either making a linear, not very replayable, rail shooter that conveys a good story through highly scripted gameplay, or a less linear, sandbox game, with much more replayability at the (presumably) cost of not delivering that great of a story. I personally hated the first option and I am glad this is the direction the game is heading to. Games are made to be replayed, If i wanted to see a good story i would go see a movie.
