Sorry but 60 FPS is not wasetful, it greates a lot smoother effect and the eye can detect the difference.

i've heard quite the opposite lately, mainly because of the release of titanfall and titanfall/xbone combo packs. Hear xbone sales are kicking up ahead of ps4 now Well I heard that while Titanfall gave a nice boost to the sales they are lacking quite far behind. Sony has said they can't keep up with the demand and we are not able to see much stock until the summer. PS4 I think has sold roughly twice more than Xbox One. I would assume this is something publishers are taking in condiresation.

I'd like to share my Ranking System I designed from Black Ops as it had quite a bunch of challenges that could work in your system even tough they are more of long time challenges:

I know you like the story a lot and I'm glad that at least you like it but I have to disagree on the fact that Treyarch can make a good story. Not anymore out of this one. It all started as a World War 2 nazi conspiracy and we loved looking trough those real life historical events and conspiracies. Nice characters who had their backgrounds built up, the same continnued with Black Ops tough they already started to move away from the whole nazi conspiracy and brought ton of new characters that they simply ditched with no explonation on what happened. Same can happen to new crew it did happen to old crew, FIVE crew, CotD crew, MotD crew and soooo many side characters from Black Ops. Then what they decided to do with Origins is tell us that it was all game which was already hinted in Kino. Samantha who was in Moon in Richtofen's body is now back to little girl in Germany while the evil nazi doctor Richtofen controlling zombies is a little boy playing with her. As far as storytelling goes that definetly is not a "good" sotry. For me Origins was the end. It was an ending closing the story while never explainning most of the stuff, because Treyarch simply couldn't or to tie all the loose ends together it would have taken 20 additional maps. But by making Origins ending they avoided explainning all the cliff hangers. As hey it was just a childrens game anything can happen to them.

Yeah it is possible to drag a long the old story but for me the sotry by now is boring, way out of portion and has nothing to do with the original start of the story other than zombies... I'd rather took a clean table for the next game and I say this as a BIG story enthusiastic.

Couldn't agree more strongly with this one. The idTech engine (now the IW engine) is the most outdated piece of shit engine still getting used these days. Sure it is capable of producing some nice visuals, but it is the most ropey and buggy engine out there. Things like visual and sound glitches, as well as the abundance of barrier glitches proved this during BO1, and instead of ditching it, they continued to use it (albeit updated) for BO2 and it was a disaster. Every map is choc full of issues, and they are all down to the terrible engine. Activision then lied and said Ghosts would have an "all new, next-gen engine", but alas it was just another poorly updated version of the SAME ENGINE! If they do not create a new engine for the next game, Call of Duty is finished! The amount of issues present in the Xbox One (& possibly PS4) version of Ghosts is embarrassing for what is the debut of CoD on next-gen. Yeah I can't believe how blatantly they lie on the Ghosts website: New Engine From maps and modes, to animation and audio, to who you are as a player — this is the biggest overhaul of multiplayer since the original Modern Warfare®. Things like Sub-D, Displacement Mapping, Real-Time Lighting, and Dual-Rendering tech gives us the ability to build the most visceral gameplay experience we've ever created. And at 60 frames-per-second across all platforms, there is nothing like Call of Duty Multiplayer.

Sorry for the wrong section, move it to the future section.

So Treyarch has now a whole year more time to develop their game and we have hope they will not ship with as half assed map as the Tranzit was. Here is what I think we need and deserve from the next installment of zombies. New engine. Honestly if they don't ditch that dusty idTech 3 egine by the year 2015 they shall be damned. And Treyach should develop the game ONLY to PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. We do not want the experience to be hindered by 10 year old consoles. If Activision wants to still support them there would need to be another studio making the old console versions. Map design, Black Ops II showed us bigger is definetly not better. Zombies became too slow, with Black Ops and World at War you started a match and were surviving right of the bat. What Black Ops II got wrong was large map that took a lot of time to travel, too many things needed to be set up. Lets have very detailed maps the sizes from Kino to Ascension. Just perks and power and from then on its pure survival and teamplay. Buildables can stay granted their assemble is easier with smaller maps. Keep the new modes, Grief and Turned were a lot of fun and Treyarch should keep them in their new game. Have challenge modes like No man's land. No ranks, we all wanted them and we were all wrong. People were just fustarated, wanted to be reset and stopped playing for fun. Rank became obsession to many. People would leave lobbies just because they saw people with low ranks. Lets face it zombies do not need ranks nor will work with them. More maps and enemies, If you ship the game with less than three maps after all this extra time count me dissapointed. On the zombie side I would like to see more enemy types to bring a new kind of challenge to the game. Ditch the story, as someone who started playing zombies JUST because of the story it pains me to say it but I do not want to see a glimpse of the story that we had. In the end it became utter mess that even Treyarch had no clue on what they were doing. Bring a new background story that can be grown in time but not a story that defines the game and its future. Easter Eggs, have smaller ones that will take time to find and figure out more emphasis on radios and notes than one big grand easter egg, but I'm not saying they should remove them either. Small things, add Clans, improved statistics, private matches, offline play, mod support (if they design their engine they can't no more plead on licensing troubles), improved match making and possibility of dedicated servers and server browser.

care to explain why? Well, IMO its just dime grabbing and the effor that is put on making these packs, could be used to improve the game or at least providing map packs that don't need to rely on re-skinning old maps.

I hate microtransactions.

It would be logical for Activision to support PS4 as the sales are much bigger than those of Xbox One. So I don't think they would renew the contract with Microsoft, either drop it all together or make one with Sony.

Maybe the zombies will now be good again?

Ranking System and Stats tracking. I made a thread about it before Black Ops: http://community.callofduty.com/thread/100279296?start=0&tstart=0#.Uti5mLTgxKQ

I have now been studying Russian for couple of months at Uni. Soon I will know the meaning with all of this

With Black Ops 2 the community was quite divided about the Black Ops 2 it was pretty much love it or hate it game. For me it was latter in both story and game design choices. But this thread is not about BO2 but about the future of zombies. Do you care anymore? Do you hope it goes the path BO2 chose? Do you wish for it to return more to its roots?

Being one of the first guys to dig into the Vril-ya or aliens in general for that matter including Avro car etc.

Could be that Beta is closed for now. SparkyMcSparks has played it at least Don't know if he had access because his job or he bypassed the area lock. I could ask him.

I think making the connection to the acronym was intentional this time. I mean look at the cover art, you can see the initials in the background. Yes, but trust me. People are going to take it way too far.

I don't own it but please stay AWAY from it! Yes its hacked because there is no dedicated servers. Very poor optimization: lag, shuttering and numerous errors. Over all bad PC support like what you could expect from Infinity Ward game.

Please, not this again.

Well Tom and 5and5 have pretty much moved to YouTube. Super... well he stopped after he was flamed.

Something that has been forgotten? There is after all description on what it should be at CoC, but still there is ton of huge images and VERY long signatures.

Most of the features added good or bad were half assed imo.
