Near future Black Ops 2 saddles up some old fashioned transportation

Posted by on May 1, 2012 in Games

I’m okay with the robots and hovercrafts and whatnot. But a horseback riding sequence? Oh, please no. I’ve paid my dues in Uncharted, Assassin’s Creed, and Skyrim. With the possible exception of Red Dead Redemption, I have yet to meet a horseback riding sequence that wasn’t awful.

No word on whether Black Ops 2 will have a new zombie mode, but at least its got a zombie narrator. Brains!

UPDATE: In this video, Treyarch’s Mark Lamia says, “If you like zombies, you’re going to be really happy with what we’re doing with Black Ops 2. It’s our biggest most ambitious zombies ever.”

    Zombie mode is so 2010. I want Treyarch to do their take on Modern Warfare 3′s horde mode, with future toys!

    What about the horseback riding in Shadows of the Colossus?

    Ah, good call, Mr. Grenz.  Definitely one for the non-sucky horseback riding column!

    Does anyone else wish they could just purchase the zombie mode of Treyarch’s games and leave the rest?

    This looks pretty interesting.  Might be the first COD I get since COD4.

    Yeah, or maybe the old jousting sequence in Defender of the Crown? Now that’s some “old” fashioned transportation.
