Halo 4 or Black Ops 2?

In case you didn't know or you aren't following the game. Halo 4 has confirmed that they will be releasing the game November 6th 2012. The guess for the release for Black Ops 2 is also November 6th of 2012. So this means if you love both games you are going to have to choose between the two. This is of course if you are not  super rich. This will be easy to decided between both games. Here is a list of pros and cons for each title.

Pros:
It is bringing back Master Chief into the game again and continuing his story.
There will be more talking from Master Chief than the previous games.
Cons:
This game is not made by Bungie since they sold the name of the game to 343 Industries.
Everyone was sort of pleased with the ending of Master Chief being lost in space.
Some people don't think that they can pull it of since the story with Master Chief had ended already.

Black Ops 2

Pros:
The game mode Nazi Zombies will be back.
A lot is being improved to the game since the last game by Treyarch.
Cons:
Nobody knows how they are going to implement characters from Black Ops since Black Ops wasn't really seen as having a sequel.
There has been no information released about Nazi Zombies on Black Ops 2.

     Yoyogames does not just provide a tool for creating game it also have two other divisions. One is its amazing community where anyone can upload and share their creations. The community is composed of more than 1 million developers that created over 300,000 games. So if you don't want to create video games, you can just head over to Yoyogames Sandbox and enjoy tons of fun games. In my personal experience, all the games I have played on Yoyogames are very enjoyable. I recommend that you should check out Caveman Craig, Death Worm, and Ancient Ants Adventure.
    The other divison is called Publishing. Yoyogames will publish the best content out of the community to the Apple Store, Android Play Store, and even on Sony's PlayStation® Network.

the sandbox shooter

A while back I started playing a game called ace of spades. It was a fun game with a few maps, one game mode, and three guns. It was a bit like a combination of Minecraft and Call of Duty. You could use blocks to build elaborate structures like in Minecraft it was mainly a first person shooter. So it wasn't like Minecraft where you can just build but it also wasn't just Cod because you could make shelter instead of having to find it. I quickly learned the basics of the game. The rifle was good for far range but not so good for close up encounters and could be countered from a distance. The SMG was good for both long and short range encounters but the recoil made it hard to aim. Shotguns are a lot easier to use at close range but doesn't go that far. If you got six kills then you got an airstrike. That was fun to use. There weren't many maps but my favorite was one called pinpoint. It was fun; I started a new strategy for the map that is now used a bunch.

The game got old pretty quick so I stopped playing. Recently though, I started playing again. I found out that not only were there a bunch of new maps but there were grenades and a new game mode. You could now fight to capture checkpoints. It was also harder to get an airstrike. These new features were a fun surprise and I had fun playing with them. After a while I got bored with the game again and was going to stop playing until I saw this on the server list:

look for the highlighted box

I checked it out on the wiki and it looks amazing. Basically, the zombies can jump super high but can’t shoot or build so they have to use spades to kill. The humans can quick build and the guns are strong from a distance but the closer the humans are to the zombie, the less damage his weapon does. I tried it out before I looked it up on the wiki, (playing as a zombie of course) but couldn't kill anyone because I was just trying to snipe the humans. I want to try it again and I hope you guys will give it a shot too. I’m even going to try to create my own server. If you want to learn more about the game read the wiki.

The server will be accessible at aos://grosoon once I get it up. Right now it’s just a normal map but I’m going to make it zombies. I like this game because it’s easy to play and get involved in. 


go build and shoot,

Black Ops 2 Leaked Info

A couple of days ago some Black Ops 2 information was leaked on YouTube and a website. Both of these were sadly taken down but many people have still managed to acquire the information like me. All of the information that was leaked was about multiplayer only. Sadly nothing about Zombies got leaked. I will start of with-
Game Modes
They have decided to add a new game mode called Escort. The game mode will be similar as search and destroy in that you will have only one life and can not respawn until next round.
Drop Zone and Kill Confirmed will return but Team Defender and Infected will not.
Pointstreaks
The same system that is used in Modern Warfare 3 will be used in Black Ops 2
They are going to address more emphasis on objective
A bomb plant will be worth 2 points, an enemy flag will be worth 2, a neutral flag will be worth 1, and an assist for capturing is worth 1.
The Specialist has been changed. This means you will not receive all the perks after 8 kills.
You get to choose out of different versions of Pro for one perk.
The RC-Car will not be back.
A new pointstreak is heat vision which allows the player to pull out a pair of goggles that see through most things.This scope can be equip to almost all guns except for shotguns.
They will include item packages that have special things that only come in the packages.Ex. a minigun
Prestige
Like Black Ops it will have 15 prestiges
There will be 50 levels again but every two prestiges it adds 5 more levels. That means that the final level will have 90 levels.
ELITE
ELITE is being brought into Black Ops 2
Instead of combat record it would be called ELITE Stats
There will be specific lobbies for clan battles.
REMOVED
There will be no more MOAB,Nuke, last stand, death streaks, and no flamethrower attachment.
Map Design
The multiplayer map design will follow the same as Black Ops. Which means they are going to make maps that were in story mode.
Sniper Rifles
They will improve the usage of snipers by reducing the sway unlike their previous title. They will also remove the aim assist on snipers.
Customization
The appearance of your character will be determined by a combination of the three perks instead of just the first tier perk.
Hardcore
No noob tubes allowed in hardcore and only vehicle lock rocket launchers are going to be allowed.
A player will not be easily killed by getting shot in the foot but if severely injured will bleed out.
The delay in respawn will be reduced.
Perks
A single perk can now turn into two different types of pro versions. You will need to choose one though.
There will be different challenges for the two different versions.
The only way you can switch is by prestiging.
For example Perk slot 1 has the perk called Speed
- Speed -- Reduces the time taken to aim down the sight
- Pro I -- Swaps weapons faster
- Pro II -- Throws equipment faster
Finally
Combat Training
It will return with a lot of improvements.
The difficulty will no longer be based on how fast an enemy reacts.
The bots will have a similar AI system as the one used for survival mode in Modern Warfare 3


This is all the information that got leaked so far. I am hoping that some Zombie stuff will get leaked because I am a huge Nazi Zombie player and have loved that game mode. 

Bite Me

Bite Me is a live action series by Machinima. It is about 3 guys that live together who like zombies and zombie video games(Deadrising 2). All of the sudden the zombie apocalypse starts in L.A. The government refuses to do anything about it. This leads them to take action and try to survive. They are working on episode 2 for season 2. If you know who is Machinima you know they are from YouTube. You might be thinking YouTube this isn't going to be any good. Trust me it is I thought it was going to have some really bad effects and camera work but it didn't. When you watch it you think this is an actual television show. If you want you can watch all first season by clicking this right here. Season two is also out but if you are just hearing about check out the first one. They will come out with new episodes every Tuesday. I really like this series because it is what every zombie killer wants. It also has a lot of comedy, and many references to video games especially Deadrising. The only down side of the show is that all the episodes are about twenty minutes long. I will end this here because I don't want to spoil anything  from the story. Overall anyone who likes shooter games should watch this.

The Generous Indie Game

On last Saturday, the 24th of March, the indie game publisher Supsoap decided to do a giveaway of their game Faerie Solitaire to all redditor. They will give out a total of 50,000 keys for the game. To do this, Supsoap will give away a total of 425,000 dollars. However, I think I do not think this is a waste of money. I believe this is a very creative way to promote the game. Giving out 50,000 keys will not cause Supsoap to lose any money, but it will definitely bring in sales. As players get impress with the game, (I know I'm) they will surely buy the game as a gift later for others. If you're interested in getting a free copy of the game for yourself, you should check out the reddit post here. At the time of writing this post, there are still some keys left, and if you hurry you should be able to get one. The game Faerie Solitaire is a Solitaire game equipped with a story, challenges, pets, and shops. It also won the The Wall Street Journal - Gamehouse "Most Addictive Game" in 2010. Personally, I usually do not to play Solitaire, but the way the game have set itself in such a way that I have come to love playing Solitaire. It's definitively worth a try.
