I haven't cared for any CoD games since MW1. BO2 looks kinda ok so far.

e: damn the plot sounds pretty cool. I'll definitely at least rent it for the campaign.

After reading Jeff's article about what he saw of this game, I'm surprised to say that I am now actually interested in how this game turns out.

Branching storylines? Strategy Elements? YEAR 2025?????

This is probably the most interesting sounding Call of Duty since CoD 4

The rare earth elements stuff isn't as big a deal: China actually doesn't have that much control, that's a misconception. It's mostly shipped out of South Africa from what I understand.

I thought the original Black Ops was interesting in the sheer amount of new/weird stuff in it.

Something that they didn't have to do and weren't going to do without a new CoD was a waste? A waste of what? Informing people about something they might care about is a waste?

People these days, reduced to bumbling retarded 5 year olds kids yelling for no reason even if CoD is just mentioned.

Oh man, I burned through the Bombcast today and feared that my drive to work would suck tomorrow. And then this!

Black Ops II continues to start off on the right foot.

RCA is technically the type of connector. It's called that because the company RCA created the connector. The actual cables, or what the connector is connecting, has a different name. For example composite cables use RCA connectors to transmit video signals.

Well! This means I have to go back and play Black Ops. I didn't really care too much about it, but I think I like it just enough to go back and play it. Also, this looks pretty good, and interesting. I wonder if this is consider the Black Ops game to be a first like Call of Duty 4, and make it a trilogy, which is weird, 'cause World At War was a prequel to Black Ops. It's just getting crazy. I was more excited than I was expecting for multiple reasons before I heard this, but now that I'm listening to this, I'm even more excited. Also:

@Rirse: A waste? Perhaps you didn't realize that the regularly scheduled bombcast still came out today? This is just an extra one.

I've only read Jeff's writeup but I hardly played MW3 after having liked the cod series quite a bit and figured BLOPS2 would be the first cod game I wouldnt buy but I think I'm back on board again!
