Black Ops 2

[=LEVIATHEN=]

Sadly, the developers don't want that way back, not even Valve. Valve doesn't even want to make Half-Life 3. It's the only logical explanation as to why they haven't announced it yet.

Don't say that. It breaks my heart.

Also, I'm pretty sure Valve would specifically announce that they wouldn't be making HL3 if they weren't making HL3.

you may wanna turn your volume down a little

That was by far the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

I love it.

Valve is already pwned by Activision Blizzard and the dominance of the Call of Duty series. It will be very difficult for Valve to create an epic HL3 to compete even with a COD game, but not anytime soon.

Fact from recent times, every "insert name of popular game here"-killer has failed to kill such game.

Why? Well, quite simple, people buy popular games bcs they look for what these popular games have to offer, that's why, amongst other thing, games like BF3, KOTOR, BRINK, etc, have failed to kill anything, except maybe investor's interest in the companies which made them.

Some time ago we found the forums filled with people demanding EA to turn C&C into a Starcraft-killer, it becomes evident by now that's not the point, long-lasting franchises with huge fanbases may implement improvements in the gameplay, new elements and advance the plot or bring some side-stories/spin-offs which allow for room to tray new things, but they keep at core the elements which made them popular in first case, you can just point out at franchises like those from Nintendo which basically offer the player the same experience, just updated and with some new elements, they are extremely succesful because what they offer has been working through decades, they have developed something which is traditional, and classic.

And that's what any succesful franchise must have, not just CoD but all, class and tradition.

And that's what Command and Conquer must offer, class and tradition.

This is funnier when you consider EA said one of the features was going to be destructible enviroment, yet, you still need the AI-controlled characters to open doors for you instead of just blowing them up.

Kinda. This is single player, so having to wait for a scripted event like door opening is not unreasonable. In Multiplayer, sure, the door would be gone. .

Talking about singleplayer, one of the great things about CoD if that you can find a father/elder brother figure, you see it with awesome characters such a Soap, Gaz, Price, Reznov and MacMillian, you feel like you are part of a team, and even a family of a sort, now it seem Woods will take this role for BlackOps 2, which is one of the reasons I am buying it, I like these kind of characters bcs they are a source of inspiration in real life, you get examples to follow whenever you have to do hard things.
