RUMOUR WATCH: Talk that game may carry an optional sub-£10 a month subscription for additional features
Mark this one down strictly as unsubstantiated rumour, but games site MaxConsole claims to have word from a “source” regarding the paid-for multiplayer components that Activision is expected to announce shortly for Call of Duty: Black Ops.
It claims that alongside the traditional multiplayer options – which will remain free – Activision will also offer an optional monthly subscription that will be priced £10 or less.
For the money players will get free access to DLC map packs, and that access will be granted before non-subscribers get the chance to play. Exclusive maps and equipment will also be offered, as well as early beta access to the next Call of Duty title. Apparently there’s also the chance of dedicated servers offering more players than normal.
Licensing issues often leave many games forgotten. But all that aside, here are 10 classic games desperate for remasters.
The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.
Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.
i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately
One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons
Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those
The Black Ops series has featured some of the best and classic multiplayer maps in the Call of Duty franchise, and here's the top of them.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.
And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.
I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
thank god i don't even play call of duty..anything like this screams greed and i..unless it benefits me in some way don't care about it. i buy these games to play them, not pay for them on a constant basis.
im going to get this
thats barely anything ontop of the xbl fee, its seriously like 10 bucks extra which is like nothing if you got the money unlike poor idiots who whine and complain about anything (pc owners complaining about games being 60 bucks im looking at you).
since COD is my main game (because it essentially looks and plays better than the majority of games out there) ill be able to afford this no problem.
i mean the exclusive maps and the FREE access to DLC makes it more than worth its cash.
also who the f**K cares about dedicated servers i aint a pc owner so i dont have any use for that, im tired of the pc idiots whining about it
also people are hatin on this thing sayin they arent gonna pay a subscription fee but they will end up doing it
people are just hatin on COD because its the best FPS out there, and haters always gonna hate the best.
true gamers are gonna get this like me.
Haha, what a joke. I mean we have to pay for Broadband, some people pay extra for LIVE, and buy every DLC under the sun, some pay £15 a month games subs, it's a joke. Looking at Activisions record I can see this happerning.
EDIT: and Chnswdchldrn, just so you know, I'm A. Not poor, and B wouldn't play Halo or COD if they were the last games on Earth, C I'm a true gamer, I get 95% of games that come out per year, and much more offten than not the Limited edition copies.
Just make tonnes of dlc to make money if they do this they will kill their fan base lets face it some other shooter will be just as good but free mass exodus will happen.
They sold how many freaking map packs?!??! You don't get much more money hungry than this if it turns out to be true....What a shame
