This Portable Call of Duty Game Is Totally Declassified

Favorite part: "covert single-player missions" followed up by loud gunfire and some dude jumping through an effing window. Real smooth.

DEVELOPED BY NIHILISTIC SOFTWARE a.k.a the people who brought you that garbage Resistance Vita game. This looks like crap and it's pretty funny they are charging $50 for it.

I think my favourite part was when they said "All New Maps" and then proceed to show a map that bears a striking resemblance to NukeTown.

So, this is pretty much a *ahem* "enhanced" port of Black Ops 1, right? They're appealing to a magical demographic that really likes CoD, but didn't buy BO1 and won't buy BO2.

Also, how many people have the time/reliable network connection to play a FPS match on the go?

Wow, this looks spectacularly terrible. I'm very disappointed. Call of Duty isn't even a graphically-intensive series (it's still using the same console engine since Call of Duty 2, remember), but this Vita game looks like complete garbage. This could have been the game that sold millions of Vitas; what happened?

Bloody hell, Sony must have spent more on getting Activision to agree to this release than they did the actual game. That looks like a really bad Call of Duty game and I'm saying that as someone who still enjoys Call of Duty.

This looks like fuckin garbage, who decides to farm these big names out to nihilistic? I strangely had high hopes for this thinking a real portable COD game maybe a good time waster, but unless they are going to pull a rabbit out of their ass with this, I will stay away.

Dear oh dear, the game looks more like a PSP game but gameplay wise, I think it'd be a decent game for the Vita. Let's hope the replay value is high.

Going to CL to list Vita for sale . . . Seriously? $250 for system, $50 for game . . . I can get better games for iPhone for 1/50th of the price . . .

Whoever is running Vita @ SONY should be fired.

Can't say I'm terribly impressed at the graphics. I know the Vita is capable of a lot more than that. Also, why is it that when they showed the "maps" they only showed quick shots of THE SAME THREE MAPS? They interspersed all those shots and sped up the footage in the hopes that you wouldn't catch the fact that there's only around three maps so far.

Looks like CoD black Ops 1.

I don't agree. I remember being pretty goddamn impressed by my PSP when Liberty City Stories came out the first year. I think the tech in the Vita is enough of a known quantity that it should look better. Activision is hedging their bets by keep costs down is my guess, and I don't blame them.

The Vita is in such horrible shape they are giving away games for free if you buy the PS3 version. That's how bad it is.

The Vita is more than capable of this. The characters look low poly and the textures are just criminally bad. Like PandaBear said, playing LCS was actually jaw dropping considering the open world nature of those games and then being able to just play those on the go was kind of a crazy thing. The Vita is no slouch. iOS and Android have some great looking games on them so there's no excuse for this to look as bad as it does. Maybe devs are being a little lazy right now. MK on the Vita looked like garbage but on the other hand, I thought the Uncharted game looked quite nice and the new ACIII for Vita looks really good too.

You should know better than to try bringing logic into a conversation where someone is constructing their sentences with the word "fanboys" within it.

I don't know who this is for, beyond the people who already have a Vita. When everyone can already get standard Call of Duty, who wants scaled down, portable Call of Duty?

Look out everyone it's super troll.

This game looks awful in almost every way though. I own a Vita but I certainly won't be buying this, almost feel insulted by the lack of effort that appears to have been put into it.

looks like the same engine from resistance burning skys and probably the killzone game too which is odd doesn't look like quake3 engine ey... i guess sony gave activision the engine to use or it was open to use like pyre or some thing? or maybe sony just made the game them selves and payed for the brand... wouldn't be shocked these days. Like im pretty disapointed like.. this looks worse than peace walker... i feel like i shouldnt have got a Vita but Rather a PS3 for Adhock party so i could play PSP shooters of higher quality.

The only thing i can do now to justify my VITA purchase is look at the 3G and hope that they will patch SMS support into the skype app so it can Send and receive calls and send and receive SMS

The OLED is dam nice for outside use but inside its horible as it shows marks (THAT ARE WAY WORSE THAN DEAD PIXELS) in a dark room on dark colors :(

plz sony just patch SKype SMSout and chat suport and at least i can use it as a mobile...
