Treyarch, Please Rule Out Black Ops 2

GamingUnion.net: Reflecting a bit on Activision's recent statements that they would not rule out making a second Black Ops title, I've been left wondering why a comment like this was even necessary. It's obvious that Treyarch is going to make a second Black Ops, just as it's obvious that the Call of Duty franchise will rear its head yet again at the end of the year. This sort of statement is purely for the sake of sensationalism, drawing up a bit of attention to the series just to make sure that everyone knows Activision is still around and ready to make money. However, just pretending for a moment here that Black Ops 2 isn't already in production, wouldn't it be better if Treyarch just dropped the title and moved on to the next CoD? In fact, I think Treyarch has a lot to gain from ruling out Black Ops 2.

Ehh, BO2 is coming no matter what. Although it would be interesting to see if Treyarch can create their own franchise that'll rival CoD.

zeal0us5530d ago

Not sure if thats a good idea, Activision/Bobby Kotick been know to sue you or fire you if even a rumor start going a float. Attempt to bite the hand that feeds you and you will get shot.

Already seen what happen to IW top ppl no point of it happening to Treyarch, b/c to Bobby Kotick/Activision they are expendable, look @ IW's Zampella and West those guys been in the industry for a long time and they just get fire. I'm pretty sure If Activision thought they needed them they would of reach an agreement or some sort.

Hopefully Treyarch will update the engine for their next title and add a little change to the gameplay, a little tire of getting knifed from the front while shooting right at the person.

Hardedge5530d ago

I don't get the relation. Whatever game Treyarch makes will be under Activision, why would they sue themselves? It's not like Mark Lamia is secretly job hunting at a rival firm like West and Zampella were.

CameronL995530d ago

And again, another moron who knows nothing about business writing an article about business, and in the process clearly displaying his juvenile ignorance, and pointless hatred towards a game noone ever forced him to buy, idiot lol

zeal0us5530d ago (Edited 5530d ago )

@Hardedge,

They(activision) would fire/sue the individuals, they wouldn't sue the company(Treyarch) seeing as it is their money maker/golden goose.

I'm still not sure about the whole west and zampella case, but what you expect them to do, to take getting put out of their own company laying down without any retaliation.

Making respawn and joining EA was probably the best thing they could of done after being kick out IW.

How do Treyarch go from here? Full game base on the Vietnam War, even though black ops cover/touch a little on it. Korean War? or Something Modern like IW.

plb5530d ago

As a previously mentioned...no way I will buy another Treyarch game especially on PS3.

Fishy Fingers5530d ago

Stick it to the man... Futile as it maybe.

mephman5530d ago

Unfortunately, it's probably going to happen. Can't see them leaving this alone since Black Ops sold so well.

x8005530d ago

how about they make f*** off 2? never am i going to by a Treyarch game with their shit support and crap game.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead136d ago (Edited 136d ago )

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

franwex187d ago

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos187d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio187d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

blacktiger187d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
