    Considering how awesome Black Ops' story was (and I generally loathe Call of Duty scriptwriting-- Modern Warfare 3 was one long-winded gut punch in demolishing all the characters I could try to like), I am inclined to believe that man. For now.

    "I AM VICTOR REZNOV, AND I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE" went straight into the eternal vault of game-defining lines, somewhere between "L-l-look at you, Hacker..." and "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!"

    hmm he's not really commenting on the ending inasmuch as he's commenting on black ops 2's multiple endings...

    Indeed. Probably trying to reel in some potential sales by hooking retakers? Gotta admit, it's kind of working on me. I'm not a Cowadooty player but multiple endings? I'm a sucker for those.

    From what I hear, Black Ops 2 has multiple endings. If its a color schemed ending choice I will fucking shoot myself.

    (sorry for the cussing kids)

    Not as bad as the Mass Effect 3 ending.

    But what else is news right?

    Some people at Bioware/EA took shots at them, so i see this as shots back.

    I haven't actually played a CoD game since...hmm...World At War perhaps? Or maybe the first Modern Warfare.

    What Lamia is basically saying here is that Treyarch will never do what Bioware are doing with the Extended Cut. It's more artistic integrity talk. Then again, most people play CoD for multiplayer, as opposed to Mass Effect which was built on story (and only whored itself out with MP with ME3).

    Im not giving them credit, but i think the whole Industry will use this whole fiasco as a reminder to what can happen when you are careless.

    Then again, ME3 is not the first to have such a backlash, so i mean if the industry has a brain that is.

    That feel when you realize that MW had better narrative writing than ME3's ending...

    Oh god.
