Meh, I'll play it, but I certainly won't buy it. CoD has always been fun to play for me, but I never would never even dream of paying for it.
No I stopped supporting CoD after they just decided it would be fun to milk the everloveing shit out of their customers since I would bet this game is based on the same engine as the last 3 games its a glorified $60 gun and map pack. then there will be that CoD elite shit and the normal 3 map 15$ map packs they can shove it up there money grabbing asses. I wont lie I would prob do the same if i was them But doesn't mean i will support someone else doing it.
I'm not interested in supporting in as it already has plenty of that, but I'll play my friend's copy if they deliver on these ,admittedly, interesting sounding promises.
I want to play it but I am not going all out for Hardened/Elite on day 1 like I did for MW3 (not worth it). I may even rent first. But I like Treyarch and am intrigued by all the changes so I will give it a chance.
I dont really want it. I have never been a die-hard fan (only ever owning CoD3 and 4 and occasionally playing the more recent games with my friends), so this isn't a big deal to me.
Not really, I'm not terribly invested in the series. I enjoy them when I borrow them from my friend, they are great at what they do and (and don't quite get some of the hate EXCESSIVE hate thats been drummed up lately) but the only one I ever went out to buy was CoD2 when I first got my 360.
What Tobbii said. I don't care if it's not the most original series ever; it's fun, and it's fun with friends. Ergo, it's a video game.
I'll probably watch my brother play it, while I look my updates on the internet, and all the videos I'll want to watch... So no I don't want Call of Duty, it still doesn't interest me in the slightest.
Oh and reason n°2 I certainly don't want a new Call of Duty : I would pretty much appreciate being able to play on my PS3, since I can't... Nearly never, since Call of Duty/Battlefield always runs on it...

I've just completely lost interest in CoD. Part of it is that I like to play games for fun, and getting annihilated by more practiced, and faster players, is just infuriating. I'd prefer to avoid coming home from work and dying 10 times while some pre-teen questions my sexuality. I'd rather float around in space in X3 or something at this point in my life.

For those that don't like the series, there is a very simple solution... don't play it.
Personally, I enjoy most of the recent Call of Duty titles and will likely pick this one up at some point (though I won't pre-order because I prefer other games for online play). The series is well done. Everything works and the campaigns are just as good (if not better) than something like Uncharted. The campaigns aren't all run and gun shooting - they nicely tend to mix things up with sniping or vehicle oriented sections. I don't even mind that the games come out every year... I'd buy an Elder Scrolls game every year if they came out annually too!

I literally know nothing about the game other than it's called Black Ops 2. I've never enjoyed the series or wanted to play it's subsequent sequels, and I don't say that out of hatred or anything it just genuinely isn't for me at all, I'm very picky about my shooters and need a special flair applied to them.
I use to be a huge hater of the series but then I realized I was being an idiot and saw if people enjoy it then that's great, why should I shit down on their parade. I was going to say no to getting the game but this 'futuristic' setting you mentioned Holmes has me intrigued, and hey can I call myself a lover of games if I'm not able to set aside my differences and just check a game out and give it a chance?!
That said I feel like it may start hitting the Guitar Hero phase soon where everybody gets burnt out and the franchise burns and dies. But considering it's one of Activisions largest franchises and is a money making power house I also can't see them letting the series become stale.
Ahh so many thoughts, the bottom line is I'll pay some attention and interest but as it stands I feel like it won't change my feelings about the series.

I would definitly prefer a black ops 2 to a modern warfare 4. I Thought that the cold war setting was refreshing. After hearing things from previews this is probably the first time I have been excited about a call of duty game since modern warfare 2. I didn't buy modern warfare 3 because i didn't want to be using similar weapons and tech in a similar setting for the 3rd time. Next year I hope to see something completely different from anything we have seen in a Call of Duty Game before.
I want it, I will get it, but i wont be in any line at midnight to pick it up. I honestly was hoping for a little more Vietnam/early 80s style timeframe. But i guess CoD needs to take on GR:FS
"millions more that want nothing to do with it"
I seriously doubt that. It's just that the majority of people who voice their opinions on the internet about things like Call of Duty don't like it. Most people in general probably do like it. Personally, I've always bought CoD if only because of the peer pressure and occassionaly the cool campaigns but I was seriously shocked to see that they're actually changing the formula this time round, or so I've heard. At least the setting is different enough to actually maybe call it a different game this time, rather than the £40 updates we get more regularly. It was only gonna be an updated zombies that would have sold this one for me, but it seems the campaign will do that as well. I'm also slightly interested in how much the multiplayer will be affected by the futuristic setting. I'd say I'm likely to buy it, though I was just about ready to bail out of the Cod series if it was gonna be as samey as the rest. Still, colour me interested.

I used to like Call of Duty, but now I don't really see the appeal of it. So no, I don't want Black Ops 2, there are plenty other games coming out this year that I want. Borderlands 2, Bioshock Infinite, GTAV, all of them sequels, sequels that have hopefully been done right.
All over it baby. It's changing the setting, introducing some new gameplay and hopefully a decent story. The things most people bitched that they wanted. Haters gonna hate.
I'm with you on this one, Holmes. I've never been a fan of CoD, but the scifi spin on this installment has me slightly interested, but not enough to ensure my purchase yet.

I dont hate COD, in terms of multiplayer I'm just already committed to Street Fighter and Fifa.
I'm also just not that stoked about shooters in gerneral, so I'm not gonna get it.

cod is like wow it excists because stupid people are shelling out money for the same thing again and again and again, well whadaya know both made by activision who would have guessed.
I played quite a lot of cod 1 and 2, played a decent amount of cod 4, played a little bit of pirated cod6 (at least pirated had dedicated servers), played cod7 on the free steam weekend for 20 minutes until I got enough of that shit, never bothered to try cod8 and will not bother with cod9. Future settings are nice and all but please keep the date a bit more accurate as in add 50 years or so to the date. Really I just got enough of cod, and after bf3 also of battlefield. Hoping until a new fps comes along that Really draws me in again.
Black Ops was the first Call of Duty game I enjoyed since the original PC game, so I'm actually eager to take a crack at this one.
I think it's beyond stupid that some gamers have put down the whole $60 a full 6 months in advance of the game. It's so early, we barely even know what the game is. Also there are no preorder bonuses (I'm talking about on Steam), so why lock in your $60 now when a preorder the day before it comes out gets you the game just as soon?
That to me is the truest sign that some gamers are completely controlled by hype, and have no sense of logic or critical thought.

I really dont get why people complain about how they are using the same engine. valve does it. Both companies improve it each time they use it. Maybe its because the engine for cod is attached to the same franchise while the source engine is attached to multiple ones.
CoD is the only series that ALL my PS3-owning friends buy and play online, hence I always find people willing to play TDM and (for Treyarch iterations) Zombie Mode. Seriously, I had more hours of pure fun out of MW3 than any other 2011 game with the exception of Skyrim. The CoD formula works, and I'm all up for the near-future setting of BOII, so come November I will be ready to answer the Call once more.
It'll definitely be a wait for me. Do I want it? Not really. It's more because I've played too much CoD and I'm burnt out. Though admittedly any break from it I do take probably won't be that long.
Like other games CoD's alot of fun with a group of friends.

And also as for me ive loved the cod campaigns. The set pieces are fantastic and now this one seems like itll be more replayble with the missions that affect the story. Not a buy for me still. Unless my little brother gets it(which he probably will) ill just rent it. My little brother will probably love the multiplayer thats the reason he gets them. i profit from it by getting to play the singleplayer.
philosophically? No. I've never really wanted any CoD game at all.
Literally? Maybe. I can't really say why but this ones actually gained my interest.

Hell yes! I've played all since CoD 4 and loved them all - although admittedly MW3 bores me, Black Ops did a lot of things differently and MW3 felt like a step backwards. The trailer for Black Ops 2 definitely has me interested, and the fact that zombies is already confirmed to back is a definite yes for me.
Fuck the haters, the games are fun!

I'm stoked for the single player, but I'll pass on the multiplayer. Most likely I'll still be playing BF3 at that point.
Treyarch's stories have always been interesting, and this future setting seems fresh enough for me.

@Taerdin: well for me, I threw $5 down at gstop due to the tiered bonuses they are doing. It's $5 you can always get back if it sucks ya know? I understand what you're saying though. Had at least 15 full pays yesterday. At least one was a regular who gave me his avengers ticket cause he got called in to work. Boosh. Go see Avengers.
The last like three CoDs I've bought just because my friends have them and I like playing multiplayer with them. That said, I always end up selling the games after a couple of months or so.
I like the future setting for Blops II, a couple of the screenshots reminded me of Tiberian Sun and Battlefield 2141, but I dunno how hyped I am for it. If people are super excited for it, good for them.

Well, I don't NOT want it but I probably won't be picking it up until the price drops on PC which usually takes awhile for COD games.
Yeah, sure. I'm not masturbating myself to sleep over it or anything but it looks interesting and I'll play it like the video game it is.
