Can't say for certain, but I did that with Black Ops 1. My dvd was not reading, so I went to activate product on Steam and inserted the CD key and downloaded it that way.

Believe it or not Treyarch, just because we play in the Hardcore playlist doesn't mean we don't like other game types.

that is really annoying, I only play hardcore as well, but for some reason dev think that means we only like Tdm. My favourite game type is domination, sad to see we can't do that in hardcore mode.
alos, on hardcore is it ricochet damage?

For everyone and anyone who is buying this for Nazi zombies like I did DON'T DO IT. You will be EXTREMELY disappointed. By round 25 you are getting the same amount of zombies as you would at round 10 in world at war. And the maps are OMG SO SMALL It's not even worth it... Seriously, one map is the Black ops 2 version of Nacht der toten... Actually it's smaller. thats pretty sad.

The PS3 and Xbox 360's technology has been the same for years and years.

It's not going to improve until they release a new console.

Halo 4 disagrees. They managed to make that one look stellar on this old generation. Don't see why they couldn't improve with Black Ops 2.

Tbh, I thought blops 2 had a halo type style to it. It feels new but after about 30 mins of playing, the typical old shit comes back. Panic knifing, campers, Kids with mics (already).

That said, and taking into account my previous posts, I'm enjoying it more then I did blops 1 and mw3, it does feel fresh for a while. Although anyone that pre-ordered blops 2 for nuketown should be dissapointed as the remake of nuketown kinda sucks, feels cluttered now, and its only playable from it's own seperate game mode which is weird?

I haven't played CoD since the first Black Ops mostly because it was the same recipe over and over, this however looks new. Thing is, I've only ever played it on my Xbox360 which I sold 6 months ago. Is anyone playing it on PC? I've heard a lot about hackers and stuff on the PC version, how is it?

i think thats becuase halo is only made for xbox, its optimized brilliantly for xbox hardware, whereas CoD is probably made for pc and then console after.

I'm on PC atm and it's really to early too tell. Of course there will be private hacks for it already available but it will be a week or so (guessing) before public hacks are wide spread.

on pc is it dedicated servers? i hope it is because its a lot easier to avoid hackers on dedicated servers as the admin can just kick them

Sounds reasonable.

I purchased it on the 360 in the end, if only because the amount of people playing CoD on PC is appalling. Used to meet the same guys in Hardcore gamemodes all the time.

i usually prefer the game on PC, but all my friends play it on xbox so i always buy xbox games :<

on xbox are their many people with mics? so far from playing halo i haven't come across many people using mics.

**Mel** · 2012-11-13, 02:42 PM

Ok so the big question is... is it worth purchasing on the xbox 360? Being that I was one of the minority that did enjoy BO1 and I don't rly care for mw3 but I did enjoy mw2 so do you think it would be enjoyable for me?

There are dedicated servers, but they are operated by Activision. From what I have been reading, there isn't a server browser.

Unfortunately, this setup does little to combat hackers in the immediate.

Lil off-topic question, does anyone know how long it usually take for steam to reply a question regarding accounts?

**JustintimeSS** · 2012-11-13, 03:44 PM

Been playing it since last night (yay VPN) and I think it's one of the better COD installments.

The maps are fresh and feel quite balanced.
The weapons are basically just graphically different versions I'm already used to so that's not bad and hell, they look cool and animate well on fire/reloads.
The new tools are fun and seem OP right now.
The lack of Pro Perks is kind of odd but the wildcards make up for it.
Wildcard builds are going to be awesome.
Graphically it looks way better than the previous installments (PC).
The sounds are really a step up compared to MW3 (explosions and voices/effects while indoors for example).

After about 8 hours into MP I'm very happy with my purchase. I'm going to enjoy it until it becomes hack ridden or they add dedicated servers with admins that are present to kick hackers.

Overview of the PDW-57. It's a super strong SMG and you should play it before it gets nerfed!

Yes it's powerful. So is the MP7. They are both ridiculously powerful considering they are early unlocks.

The way the maps are, you can avoid long line of sites and stay in range of sags/shotguns being deadly easily.

I find them a tad too strong. Just made a quick video so everybody would know of this gun!
