Multiple co-op modes in COD: Black Ops

Ooooh, more COD 'news'

Ooo more sarcastic crap comments

I genuinely believe you dont see the irony in that sentence

As much as I now dislike Acti and the CoD franchise, the coop mode in MW2 was actually quite brilliant- shame they didn't release extra mission for that rather than map packs, or I might not have sold it :/

So the co-op in Black Ops will be like the co-op from Modern Warfare 2? Which, in my opinion, was the laziest, least interesting co-op I've ever seen. And as a massive fan of co-op I actually played this less than any other co-op game I've owned. If having Treyarch connected to this game wasn't bad enough news, finding out that there's no co-op campaign absolutely guarantees I have no interest in this.

For the life of me I do not understand why developers don't have the skill or interest to be able to incorporate this into all their games. I find it absolutely astounding and incredibly disappointing.

If a campaign co-op mode were included in all games I'd would spend upwards of five to ten times the amount of money each year on gaming. Only once have I played a single player campaign mode ten times. Normally I play through a campaign mode once or twice. Games that have had a co-op campaign mode have been played through continuously beyond a year.

What is it that developers don't understand about the advantage co-op campaign can have for their games!?!? If someone likes co-op campaign it's very possible that they'll play and own the game much longer than they otherwise would. By holding onto the game they're A) Reducing the supply to the secondhand market (and we all know how much developers whine about this!), and B) Are more likely to buy DLC because they may own the game longer (and we all know how much developers love this little money-spinner).

Seriously, this industry has some incredibly dumb managers and producers at the top. But we know that as gamers because we read about this joke of an industry and it's pathetic decisions all the time. It seems there's only one priority in terms of improving games and that's graphics. So few developers seem to understand that what makes a great game is a complete package: a choice of game modes and customisation to suit all, interesting characters and story, smart AI, realistic physics, etc. It's no wonder the secondhand market is thriving. And so it will carry on as developers continue to sh*t out average games that barely satisfy.

Ooohhh "unique co-op modes", I'm guessing...

1. Campaign co-op
2. Special Ops co-op
3. Survival/Defend/Horde co-op
4. Push a trolley and go shopping in Co-Op

"Unique co-op modes".

Do I smell player vs player campaign, a la Perfect Dark?

i mean look at red dead redemption.no co op mode in the public package. why?so they can sell it to you using dlc.why am i begining to go red in the face(anger).i dont care if the single player experience is good, this game is a half finished product and im tired of this nonsence from the likes of activision, capcom, rockstar and the rest.

this game will be the same. it will be missing something or they add a sample of the co op modes but you will have to pay to unlock the full co op experience/multiplayer. it is a sad state of affairs.

AFAIK.....Treyach did a bloody good job at WaW.

Ive got faith!

Totally agree! World At War is fantastic and knocks spots off MW2, the multiplayer map design in World At War is one of the best things about it, then you have the highly addictive zombie mode! even the map packs were superb (and a free map too), 3 new maps and a new zombie map (with new weapons and perks) each time for 800 points, World At War deserved much more respect than it got.

And is it just me or does World At War STILL look much better graphically than MW2? I tried them both again the other day (multiplayer) and I was so impressed with World At Wars graphics, better draw distance, no jaggies, much better textures, more lighting effects and a much much better "feel", oh, and the shadows actually look good too lol.

Treyach --> Infinity Ward

With Infinity Ward's door wide open, Treyarch seems to be enjoying its time in the spotlight with their call of duty black ops game. CoD 3 is excellent for multiplayer, but this co-op sounds neat.
