Activision: A Company To Fear

So Call of Duty: Black Ops was announced today. It’s being released next November, it’s being developed by Treyarch, It’s set in Vietnam…Blah, Blah, Blah.

We can all assume it’ll have a rank based multiplayer mode, with custom classes, perks and DLC maps. We’re all positive it’ll have an “Award Winning”, “In-Depth” story and of course it’ll have one famous actor/actress doing some voice work.

Thing about Activision is, it has a habit of making really original IP’s stale by releasing them every ten minutes. Guitar Hero especially.

I feel sorry for Bungie…

I started following this project when it started a few years back. It always looked amazing, and this trailer (released today no less) emphasises the simple fact that this is the most beautifully crafted mod ever created.

 

Who cares if the original Half Life became repetitive and so fiddly at the very end you wanted to pull your own teeth out, it’s still one of the best PC games ever made. I personally can’t wait to play this. It’s going to be awesome.

 

Also, I’ve decided that I’m going to try and complete Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped 100% by Christmas. Why? Because I can.
